Cacoethes 10-02-2024 08:27 PM

Quite happy to do that! :-D

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 09:09 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 11:29 AM

Morning, how are you?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 11:31 AM

I'm ok thanks
You?

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 11:40 AM

I'm ok. Not much on today, just Mass this evening. Do you have anything on?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 12:20 PM

Not really
Just went to asda, hoping to get out for a drive this afternoon

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 12:24 PM

That should be fun. Any idea where you'll go?

long road 11-02-2024 12:36 PM

Morning! (Just)

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 12:37 PM

Morning lr :) how are you?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 12:42 PM

Not sure where to go, depends what time my brother is free.

Morning jen!

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 12:45 PM

I'm glad you're enjoying driving.

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 12:53 PM

Thanks :)

What time is mass today?

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 12:57 PM

5pm, it's in Italian but worth it because only about 30 people go!

one_step_closer 11-02-2024 12:58 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope you get out for a nice drive, Beckie.

Are you just taking it easy before mass, Tamo?

Hi Jen, how are you?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 01:04 PM

Sounds good tamo
Do you find you've picked up any Italian with going to the mass in Italian?

Thanks lindsay
How are you?

one_step_closer 11-02-2024 01:07 PM

Same as usual.

How are your fluffies?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 01:10 PM

Any plans today?

They're ok. Having their midday nap currently!

long road 11-02-2024 01:14 PM

Not sure how I am yet. Still coming to.

Italian mass sounds cool Tamo. I have a GCSE in Italian so might understand some of it! How is your mischievous kitten?

I am jealous of your fluffies Beckie. Zzz...

Hey Lindsay!

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 01:24 PM

Happy Sunday all

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 01:25 PM

Got anything on today jen?

Me too! Would love a nice midday nap some days

Happy sunday beth!
How are you?

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 01:33 PM

A midday nap sounds great, however I have just woken up. It was two colleagues leaving do's last night and I stayed out until TEN(!!!)pm and had two whole drinks - super wild!

How are you guys?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 01:40 PM

Did you have a good time?

I'm ok. Considering a nap

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 01:43 PM

They do say to nap when the babies are napping, therefore as your guinea's are napping I think by logic, you should too.

Meh it was okay!

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 02:10 PM

That is true!

Glad it was ok!

3 people at my work announced in the group chat that they are leaving. All announced within minutes of each other. I'll probably/hopefully be leaving soon

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 02:12 PM

Yeah, it was just very overstimulating!

Why are they all leaving? Ooh I saw you've started a course??

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 02:17 PM

Yeah i get that

I think just going off to do more grown up jobs.
A couple have only just turned 18 so i think they have jobs in what they did in college.
And work isn't the same place that it was 2 years ago. It's not the same vibe at all, so lots and lots of people have left/are leaving.
I'd quit now if i could tbh.

I have! It's only a 12 week course as it's entry level, but could still get a job with the qualification it is and then build on it, hopefully.
And if i pass my driving test in april, I'll be able to look at more jobs in wider areas

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 02:19 PM

Ahh thats sad, I hate when a workplace was really good and then changes vibe :(

What's the course in?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 02:25 PM

Yeah it really sucks. I used to really look forward to going in, no longer.

It's a level 2 gym instructor course
So after this, I'd be able to work in a gym, doing inductions, making gym plans for people and leading classes. I want to do level 3 personal training eventually, but you need this first

tamobhuuta 11-02-2024 02:46 PM

Good luck with your training course Cacoethes. Make sure you look after yourself.

The kitten is still cute but seems to get bigger every day. Soon we'll neuter him and he'll be able to go outside.

My Italian is rubbish. The longest I think i know is: agnello de dio, qui tolle el peccato del mundo, abbe pieta de noi.

Yeah I'm just doing my usual stuff until Mass.

Ahimsa 11-02-2024 03:44 PM

Beckie, I say this with love - but is this the best thing for you to be doing right now for your recovery?

Cacoethes 11-02-2024 04:13 PM

I'll try tamo

Kitties do get big fast!

Recovery isn't really a thing anymore, at risk of upsetting the sheriff of ryl....
But the course only requires a degree of physical fitness, so we're not doing gym based stuff all the time. There's a dude there who is in his 60's and had a hip replacement and cancer, so we're really not doing anything too taxing, physically.

one_step_closer 11-02-2024 04:34 PM

Hope your days are going ok.

Nice to see you, Beth.

not_so_insig 12-02-2024 07:20 AM

Hello all. I woke up about an hour ago because I was too hot and now I can't sleep! I have my fan going now as I am slightly too hot.

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 08:50 AM

Morning everyone

long road 12-02-2024 09:58 AM

Morning Beckie

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 09:59 AM

Morning jen
How are you?

long road 12-02-2024 10:19 AM

Okish. Asthma was flaring up last night and trying to work out if it's still enough of a problem that I need to get in touch with GP surgery.

Plus Monday is the day I take my once a week have to sit bolt upright and cant eat or drink until 30 minutes after taking it medication. Which is never a vibe.

I won't ask you how you are cos I know things are hard. How are you coping today?

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 10:28 AM

Maybe worth contacting them just in case?

Ugh yeah, that sounds annoying!

Thanks, I'm just tired.
Me and E had arranged to meet up today for a coffee, idk if that's still happening. I hope it is.
And hoping people call today.

long road 12-02-2024 10:33 AM

Possibly. But I know my lungs pretty well so would say I can generally make a good judgement call and if I phone them I can almost guarantee they will say to come on and get checked out. And I don't want to leave the house if I don't have to.

I hope you get to see E for coffee. Can you text her to check in?

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 10:35 AM

That's fair enough
Sounds like you have a decent gp so at least the option is there

I messaged her earlier, the original plan was meet up with her after my ECG, but that's been cancelled now because of staff sickness. It wasn't meant to be until 11am though, so still plenty of time to hear back from E.

long road 12-02-2024 11:09 AM

Well I ended up calling GP as started feeling a little worse. Waiting for nurse practitioner to ring me back now

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 11:10 AM

Hopefully they are helpful

tamobhuuta 12-02-2024 11:10 AM

Morning guys. There was frost this morning! But it's beautiful sunshine now.

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 11:10 AM

Morning tamo
How are you?

Sunny here too

long road 12-02-2024 11:19 AM

Sunny here three! Cold as well.

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 11:26 AM

I haven't been outside yet, but 6°c apparently

long road 12-02-2024 11:29 AM

I got a parcel from outside my front door. And that was cold enough!

tamobhuuta 12-02-2024 11:31 AM

My phone says 7 degrees.

I'm ok thanks Cacoethes. Going to Mass because it's not till 12.

Cacoethes 12-02-2024 11:33 AM

Hopefully you won't have to go out today jen!

I hope you enjoy it tamo
What are you up to in the meantime?

tamobhuuta 12-02-2024 11:36 AM

Some mindfulness, do the dishwasher, maybe read Vogue which came this morning.
