Your Responsibility Is To Your Health - MMM #162 My dear, you look awful. Why don't you go upstairs and rest? Sure and tomorrow while you're off I'll make sure you're well supplied with tea! Huh? No, no, wait, you can't go in tomorrow. How are you supposed to get better if you're forcing yourself to work while ill?

Never Too Old For A Bedtime Story - MMM #161 I can't believe you're still awake right now. All that tossing and turning isn't good for you, you know. Hmm. I know! Why don't I read to you? Aaaah, come on now; you're never too old to enjoy a bedtime story. Sit back, relax and let me read to you, okay?

When I Cannot Sleep... MMM #160 When I cannot sleep I remind myself that sleep will come, but in the meantime simply lying down and resting my body is more useful than I give it credit for...

We'll Handle Tomorrow As It Comes - MMM #159 Okay, so is today a rest day, a meds day or a distraction day? Ok, cool. Ah, ah, don't worry about the other stuff. Whatever it is, the laundry can wait, the washing up can wait, we're going to do what you need to manage your pain for the day, okay?

As Time Passes - MMM #158 Yes, it may be coming toward the end of the year, but you can still look after yourself. You can still celebrate everything you've achieved and look forward to the year to come. Gentle with yourself, be kind.

I'll Be Here While You Sleep (MMM #157) Oh, honey. I know nightmares make it hard, but sleep is so, so important! I know, how about I stay with you while you sleep? Sure! What are friends for?

The Weather Is Out There - MMM #156 Hey, hey, I know it's hard on the ear, but don't worry. We're in here, the weather is out there; let the storm rage on as much as it wants. We're here, together and we'll be fine. Oooh, we should distract ourselves and block out the sound of all that wind. Got any good music?

Beauty In Diversity - MMM #155 Hey, hon. This diagnosis isn't the end of your life, but the start of a new understanding for you and everybody else. Of course! Neurodiversity may make things difficult for sure, but with this understanding we can learn so much more about how to get you any additional support you need. Yes, 'we.' I'll be right here with you.

Just For Fun - MMM #154 Hey, we don't have to be amazing at playing, y'know? We can just have fun with it. Sure. Music is fun! We can treat it that way.

Watching The Seasons Turn - MMM #153 Okay you, come walk with me. Yes, let's walk and enjoy the turning of the season. Mhmmm; I LOVE this time of year. I love seeing the leaves turn and watching all the trees bear fruit.
