Rabbit holes

1. Felt fantails

2. Mentalisation

3. FASD

Felt fantails - I'm ordering felt from Australia. I'm stabbing my hands several times a night. I don't have all the equipment I need to do it professionally. I would like to. I would like to sell them and get some money flow. 

Mentalisation - we have an option to study through Australia! Exciting as it means no 1000pound 11pm start course. It also means a flight and holiday if I choose to stay longer. It means another qualification. 

FASD - I couldn't find enough information/training/courses on SUDs in babies. I also had a client get a FASD diagnosis and I was super curious. I've made some inquiries: NZ organisation's for whānau support, Chch organisation's which do diagnoses, International organisation's courses and research. I completed the Sydney University modules - that was exceptional! I've signed up with FASD-CAN - but as a professional I don't get the Resource Pack for free and I am broke.... so this may take a while. I'm sure that I could get reimbursed for this.... but since my last reimbursement hasn't come through and I submitted it three weeks ago, I'm not sure whether I should. Also, I got in touch with the Diagnosis specialist (they are in Auckland) who will set up a meeting with their Chch branch after the school holidays. There's one last thing..... I found a place in America that make dolls!!!! I am very keen on getting one. I think it would be exceptional for my kete. 

Trying to decide what I want to study next year, I think it's a toss up between BT (Waikato) and perinatal MH (Otago). Both benefit from FASD, and FASD is enough until I find the right path to move into SUD in babies.
