It's progress just slower progress than I would like!

Glad you aren't tired at least that's something.

What time are you setting off?

long road 26-10-2024 11:30 AM

I see a lurking NP! *Waves*

one_step_closer 26-10-2024 12:38 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Beth, life really needs to give you a break. Hope you can get things sorted.

How are you getting to Bristol, Beckie?

Hope things continue to be at a bit of a better level, Jen.

Ahimsa 26-10-2024 01:07 PM

It really really does, I don't know what I'm being punished for :(

Hope everyone is having an okay Saturday so far, safe travels Beckie!

It's been really busy at work today, 9 or 10 (I think?) emergencies so far and 2 potential emergency surgeries this afternoon, I dont think our vet is going to get a lunch break :(

one_step_closer 26-10-2024 01:33 PM

You're not being punished, Beth. Life is just being cruel right now. You don't deserve all this. Wow, that is busy.

tamobhuuta 26-10-2024 02:24 PM

Good afternoon all. I've read everything, warm squishees to those in need.

Cacoethes 26-10-2024 05:39 PM

Have arrived safely! Won't be on much/at all so see you tomorrow guys!

one_step_closer 26-10-2024 06:16 PM

Hi, Tamo. How is your day going?

Have fun, Beckie!

long road 26-10-2024 06:44 PM

Thank you for warm squishies Tamo. Sending some back!

Glad you arrived safely Beckie

Hey Lindsay! Hope you are nice and warm the chill is setting in here.

I managed a shower this afternoon which was a big win but took a lot of energy and made me short of breath hence not being online much. Still it feels so good to be clean and in nice clean soft clothes. Got my favourite yellow jumper on with a t-shirt and some baggy lounge trousers.

About to order dinner as partner is also still recovering. He has just popped out to collect my prescription.

tamobhuuta 26-10-2024 07:25 PM

Hope you're having a good time Cacoethes.

Hi osc, my day has been ok, I got to go on escorted leave to the surrounding area this evening, so I went to b&m and bought two huge bars of chocolate. How was your day?

I'm glad you feel clean and soft lr. What's for dinner?

long road 26-10-2024 07:50 PM

Ooh chocolate! What kind?

I am having a burger and chips. Should be here in 5 minutes or so. I am excited as I am rather hungry!

tamobhuuta 26-10-2024 08:20 PM

Nice. I bought big bars of dairy milk and galaxy.

long road 26-10-2024 08:37 PM

Which is your favourite? I think I slightly prefer galaxy but is a close run thing. I think Cadburys chocolate is best when it's a wispa or a twirl.

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 10:50 AM

It depends what mood I'm in!

Good morning all.

long road 27-10-2024 11:25 AM

Fair!

Morning!

How are you today?

I seem to be a little better again illness wise.

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 11:28 AM

That's good to hear. You up to much or just resting? I'm ok, I was grateful for the clocks going back :) got my mum coming to see me this morning which will be nice. I haven't got dressed yet because I can't decide what to wear.

long road 27-10-2024 12:20 PM

I should be resting but keep getting drawn into little tasks then getting a bit short of breath/ tired and remembering I am unwell and then making myself sit back down.

Been listening to Taylor Swift music all morning.

Hope you have / had a nice visit with your Mum.

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 12:34 PM

Hello everyone!
We've just got back.
We got up super early and decided to set off at about 6am. Then went to M&S before coming home :-D

How is everyone?

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 12:47 PM

How was what you were doing Cacoethes?

SIT lr!

I had a lovely time with my mum.

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 01:01 PM

It was awesome thanks!
It was a gig!

Glad you had a nice time :)

long road 27-10-2024 01:21 PM

Have been sitting since I last posted! I did giggle at being told to SIT though XD

Just had some tea and toast as a snack. Will have proper lunch later but really fancied some toast!

Glad you had a nice time with your Mum Tamo did she bring any treats?

Glad you enjoyed your gig Beckie. Try and rest now you are home!

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 01:23 PM

Toast just hits the spot sometimes

Thanks! Yeah I'll try. We only got like 2 hours sleep XD

one_step_closer 27-10-2024 01:27 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Is that how it works now, Jen. We just tell you to do something in capital letters and you will do it? :laugh: Wonder if it will work with Beckie too!

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing your Mum, Tamo, and that the clock change suits you. It's definitely not suiting my body or mind or Crookshanks. He gets his lunch at one and he thinks it was one when it was twelve so he's not happy to be waiting.

I'm glad you enjoyed the gig, Beckie. Why on earth did you get up so early when you had such little sleep?!

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 01:29 PM

I can tell you now, it will not work on me :tongue2:

I do not know how my brain and body work XD
I just get up when I'm told!

How are you lindsay?

long road 27-10-2024 01:36 PM

It doesn't work on me... It just happened that tiredness had caught up with me enough that I stayed sat!

It was the best toast. White bread toasted just the right amount with butter.

2 hours is definitely not enough sleep. I took ages to drift off and woke up a few times in the night but think I got 6 hours or so.

I am ambivalent about clock change although still being awake (but only just) when they changed was confusing. A bit like groundhog day!

Poor crookshanks pets do not like dinner time changing at all!

one_step_closer 27-10-2024 01:45 PM

That sounds like perfect toast, Jen.

I'm not sure how I am. I'm ignoring my brain for as long as I can.

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 01:55 PM

Mum brought me a latte and a blueberry muffin, yum.

Poor Crookshanks! Hugs if wanted osc.

Hurrah for gigs and toast! Boo for lack of sleep!

PS I need to get dressed but my room is really cold and I don't want to take my pyjamas off!

long road 27-10-2024 02:05 PM

It was as close to perfect as toast can get.

Sometimes ignoring your brain is the only way.

Ooh blueberry muffins are awesome.

Getting out of cosy PJ's in a cold room is not a vibe! Best to do it super quick!

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 02:30 PM

I did it! I'm clothed! Also in an oodie.

one_step_closer 27-10-2024 02:42 PM

Well done, Tamo. I was going to say just dress over your PJs!

long road 27-10-2024 03:04 PM

Congrats Tamo! And hooray for the oodie! I don't own one but they do look super cosy!

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 03:08 PM

That would have been one way of doing it osc!

I love my oodie.

long road 27-10-2024 03:15 PM

What colour/ pattern is your oodie Tamo?

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 03:25 PM

Green with alpacas!

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 03:45 PM

I napped for an hour. L is still napping!

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 03:55 PM

Was it a restorative nap?

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 03:57 PM

I wasn't really tired in the first place! But L convinced me to at least try and get some sleep.

long road 27-10-2024 04:06 PM

Awesome! I love alpacas!

Sleeping will probably have done you some good even if you don't notice much difference Beckie. Glad you have L to look out for you

I just had to use my nebuliser for first time in 2 and a half days. It seems to have helped. Think asthma flared up again because I have been coughing up a lot of muck today. Still better out than in!

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 04:08 PM

Quite possibly jen!
She definitely does look out for me :)

Oh noooo! Glad it helped though!

long road 27-10-2024 04:13 PM

It's so lovely to hear about <3

Fingers crossed that's all the nebs I need today.

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 04:16 PM

Thank you! I'm lucky to have her <3

everything crossed for you!

Ahimsa 27-10-2024 06:46 PM

Evening all,

I am home from work!

Cacoethes 27-10-2024 06:54 PM

Heya beth!

How are you?

one_step_closer 27-10-2024 06:58 PM

Hi, Beth. How are you doing?

I think you and L are the cutest, Beckie!

I've never seen an oodie that has alpacas on it, sounds cool!

Hope you're ok, Jen.

Ahimsa 27-10-2024 07:14 PM

I'm okay, I'm exhausted! But just need to wash my fringe before the quiz at 8:15 so am relaxing for a bit.

How are you both?

one_step_closer 27-10-2024 07:28 PM

You definitely deserve some time to relax.

I'm sitting with my emotional support hat on that says 'I just want cats and emotional stability.'

Ahimsa 27-10-2024 07:32 PM

That is my life plan!

long road 27-10-2024 07:43 PM

I napped hence disappearing. Breathing is a bit off but manageable. Will see how the night goes.

tamobhuuta 27-10-2024 07:47 PM

I love your hat osc!

I hope you enjoy the quiz Ahimsa.

I hope your night is breathing drama free lr.
