This period where Kaylia is changing from a student to an adult .... is difficult! For her and consequently for us. Her anxiety levels have to be carefully managed ...... as the anxiety increases, she "loops" and "nags" ...... constantly wanting something (and we often can't understand what she is saying) that she can't have. And she thinks that if she keeps on asking, then she will get it. Often we don't know if she just wants to talk about something...... or if she wants it. For instance she will say "Yanchep" ..... and this may mean she wants to talk about the times we have been to Yanchep ...... or it may mean that she wants to go to Yanchep ..... or it may mean that she wants a visit to Yanchep put in the calendar for a future date. Who knows.
Today she was supposed to go to "Social Club" .... but she didn't want to go. So it was a day of driving. We drove east to York...... and I had good time exploring York...... then we took the back road to Beverly. There are many beautiful views on the way. In Beverly I drove round all the old places I remember from 60 years ago. Then we took the West Talbot road back to Perth. On the way one spot had the sun shining on a hill .... and dark cloud all round. By the time I stopped and took the photo, the magic was gone. I hope you can imagine it.
