Cacoethes 27-11-2023 11:41 AM

Off to an ED appointment. Booo!
And my first bus didn't turn up, and the next one has only just turned up (was running late) and still got to get another bus after this.
So my day is not going too well so far!

Morning zurg!
Sorry you're not feeling too good today.
What's the weather like there?
It's very grey and wet here

Zurg 27-11-2023 11:42 AM

Whenever you're on your way to something really important, public transport will ALWAYS fail you. It's like a law of Nature. Sorry Beckie :(

long road 27-11-2023 11:56 AM

Morning!

Hope everyone appointments go smoothly.

Slow start for me today.

one_step_closer 27-11-2023 12:02 PM

Morning everyone.

Well done, Pixie. I hope you get what you need from the appointment.

Hope you get on ok Tamo and Beckie.

I hope your day improves, Kat.

Hope you have a good day, Jen.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 12:53 PM

I got here 15 mins late. And only because i ubered the rest of the way because I'd needed to pee for SO long!
And the dr is now late for some reason. Been here almost 10 mins now

one_step_closer 27-11-2023 12:54 PM

I hate holding in pee! Hope the doctor is ready soon.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 12:56 PM

Reception rang and emailed him and then went to look for him but couldn't find him
I believe he has now been located XD

tamobhuuta 27-11-2023 01:25 PM

I hope your appointment was OK Cacoethes.

The social worker is running late, I don't know when I'll see her. Also am feeling randomly very anxious but the nurse is busy doing room searches so I can't get prn.

tamobhuuta 27-11-2023 01:29 PM

Just spoke to S, apparently the meeting isn't about employment, it's to see what care I need.

one_step_closer 27-11-2023 05:03 PM

Hope you both got on ok.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 05:05 PM

I'm home. Buses are stupid

one_step_closer 27-11-2023 05:14 PM

Public transport in general can be very stupid. I'm glad you're home and hope you can rest and be cosy.

Yesterday when I went to see my brother I just missed a train home and the next one was in an hour but that was cancelled so I had to wait till the next one an hour after that. It was freezing in the station too.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 05:17 PM

That's awful lindsay!
I've been in that situation before. Horrible!
A passenger had a go at the driver when the bus eventually turned up
I very much doubt it was the driver's fault that the other buses didn't turn up!

one_step_closer 27-11-2023 05:28 PM

I couldn't deal with the public shouting at me!

Are you doing much with your evening?

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 06:14 PM

I've been shouted at at work before
Usually for things out of my control
You get used to it XD

L is here for a bit, then just chilling

tamobhuuta 27-11-2023 06:20 PM

I don't have much experience of buses. Trains can be annoying.

Dinner time in a minute. It was baked potatoes for lunch so I don't know if it'll be sandwiches or a hot meal.

long road 27-11-2023 06:50 PM

Buses are generally worse than trains because although trains don't turn up at times usually traine tell you in advance / update you on delays. Although trains are a lot worse than a few years ago due to train strikes etc.

I would probably shout back if shouted at, probably a good thing I have never worked retail etc.

I love baked potatoes.

I have taken my prescription painkillers so am a bit floaty. But they are helping with pain.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 06:53 PM

Trains at least don't have to deal with traffic/road closures etc!
Plus people getting on and off at every bloody stop!

I usually do an internal eye roll when I'm shouted at.

tamobhuuta 27-11-2023 06:55 PM

It was a hot meal, shepherd's pie for veggies.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 07:05 PM

Was it nice?

long road 27-11-2023 07:08 PM

Yeah trains are timetabled for people to get on and off at every station. Buses are not as well timetabled!

You have more self control than me Beckie XD

Ooh shepherd's pie! was it fake meat? Or just veggies/ pulses? My mum makes a lovely lentil version of a cottage pie.

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 07:14 PM

They are not!

On occasion, i have had to leg it outside before telling people to **** off, but generally keep it under control! Because i don't want to get fired, mainly.
I have been asking if we can do a 'Karen's diner' day for ages! Would love that

long road 27-11-2023 07:28 PM

Very responsible! Sometimes leaving is the only answer.

My partner is making sausage root veg stovie for dinner and it smells good!

Cacoethes 27-11-2023 07:57 PM

Really not worth getting angry with some idiot and losing my job over it.

Yum!

tamobhuuta 27-11-2023 08:59 PM

It was fake meat but it was quite nice.

Good controlling of temper there.

I'm waiting for meds then I'm going to watch more green wing before bed.

long road 27-11-2023 10:28 PM

I spoke to a helpline as had some bad memories / flashbacks and am now half watching harry potter and the philosopher's stone as a comfort film in bed.

Hope your meds got sorted quickly again tonight Tamo.

Ahimsa 27-11-2023 11:14 PM

Well done for reaching out LR <3

long road 27-11-2023 11:45 PM

Thanks Beth. I am snuggling my cuddly lion while I watch/ listen.

Ahimsa 28-11-2023 12:34 AM

Does cuddly lion have a name?

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 06:08 AM

Morning everyone

My cuddly lion is called Roary Lion. He is big and fluffy and lovely.

Morning Beckie!

I have an appointment at 12pm and trying not to enter waiting mode.

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 10:03 AM

Morning jen

Waiting mode is awful!

long road 28-11-2023 10:21 AM

Am pretty much in waiting mode already and there is 2 hours 40 minutes until my appointment and it's on the phone so I don't even have to leave the house.

Have coffee though. Coffee is good.

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 10:32 AM

Coffee is indeed good

long road 28-11-2023 10:35 AM

All hail to coffee! XD

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 10:36 AM

Indeed

long road 28-11-2023 10:43 AM

Doctor Who was so good. I am finding it torturous that I have to wait until Saturday for the next episode. I am so used to binge watching these days.

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 11:01 AM

Yeah i think people are so used to binge watching now!
It is annoying

one_step_closer 28-11-2023 11:37 AM

Morning everyone.

It's supposed to be gym day but I'm still in pain from my fall so not going.

Hope you get what you need from the phone call, Jen.

Do you have anything on today, Beckie? And I don't mean clothes/a coat. :tongue2:

Zurg 28-11-2023 11:57 AM

Morning everyone. Last minute before it turns to noon here.
I feel a bit rubbish. Decided to go for a walk before starting any chores. But it's snowing, A LOT!!! And then the sidewalks turned all slippery. And i'm not good at falling, i always manage to land on an elbow or somehting, so i had to head back home :(
But the good thing is that it's nice and warm inside my flat. And the pets are there <3

long road 28-11-2023 12:22 PM

Morning Lindsay and Zurg.

Hope you can ease your soreness Lindsay have you tried hot or cold packs?

That sucks Zurg that you had to come in, well done for being sensible though and knowing it wasn't safe for you. Hope you can enjoy being snuggly with the pets.

I am about to quickly hop in the shower before my phone call.

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 12:25 PM

Sounds sensible to not go lindsay
Don't want to make things worse!

Haha! I had cpn appointment, but he was in a meeting so said he'd call at 11. I gave a rather passive aggressive response and he has not replied.
I was going to get my meds, but there is police tape and police vans around the pharmacy. So apparently that's not happening today.
Need to clean for house inspection tomorrow, L is coming over after work to help.
And krav maga tonight.

Hey zurg!
Inside seems like the safest place to be!

Zurg 28-11-2023 12:25 PM

Hope the shower makes you feel warm and cosy, Jen.

Now the snow has stopped. The Sun is out. The weather is actively sabotaging my attempt at recovery >:(
This makes me grumpy!!! I shall need more coffee in order to deal with this. And bunny cuddles!!!

one_step_closer 28-11-2023 12:29 PM

Are you going to stay in or venture out later, Kat?

Hot or cold packs make me feel weird and sometimes in more pain.

Have a nice shower, Jen.

Your CPN deserves a passive aggressive response, Beckie! Oh, that doesn't sound good with your pharmacy. But you need to get your meds. Maybe it will be ok later on?

Cacoethes 28-11-2023 12:37 PM

There was a break in apparently.
I'm hoping it will be open a bit later.

May head up to the retail park. Just for something to do!

long road 28-11-2023 12:50 PM

Shower achieved!

Sorry others plans are being foiled.

Call on ten minutes

tamobhuuta 28-11-2023 01:46 PM

Good afternoon everyone. You all sound quite busy.

In my news, I need a new hairbrush because some of the bristles are bent out of shape.

long road 28-11-2023 02:22 PM

Will one of your visitors be able to bring you a new hairbrush?

I have had my phone appointment. Didn't go that well, seems it's a case of continuing to wait for CMHT to get their act together.

Zurg 28-11-2023 02:25 PM

I've stayed inside since the Universe is set on trolling me today. Did some cleaning. There were some shelves i had left for too long without dusting and it showed!!! Glad i was the only who saw the amount of dust that had accumulated…..

I hate when hairbrushes break, Tamo. I hope you can get a new one soon!!!

Zurg 28-11-2023 02:26 PM

That sucks, Jen :(
