Not really got any plans. Just had GP call. She is going to get crisis team to give me a call, I might get partner to drive me to the coast or go out for lunch or something. Think getting out of the house might do me good. But don't want to be out when crisis team call either.

Just finished a frothy coffee (used warm frothy milk from my fancy new milk frother with a 'shot ' of my Ethiopian coffee made in my aeropress). Trying to work out what to have for breakfast. Don't really fancy anything.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 11:02 AM

Sounds like a good plan
Crisis team always ring at the most inconvenient of times!

Sounds nice!
Do you have any fruit bread?

long road 30-01-2024 11:35 AM

They do indeed. They are most inconvenient of people :p

It was lovely, nearly coffee shop quality! I am a big fan of my new milk frother! Alas I have no fruit loaf, I am nearly always in the mood for fruit loaf so it would have been a good bet.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 11:38 AM

Sounds awesome!

Ahh that's a shame!

Sadly, my brother could only lend me enough for one coffee. I did put a post on fb, which i feel bad about doing. But I'm gonna be hanging around for a long time!

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 11:50 AM

Some very kind people have offered. Now I'll be able to get the buses home!

tamobhuuta 30-01-2024 12:06 PM

Been to Mass. I'm exhausted!

long road 30-01-2024 12:20 PM

Glad to hear people are helping out Beckie. Well done for asking, I know how hard it it is to ask.

Bless my partner because I didn't fancy anything to eat that we have in house he has gone to Lidl to get me pastries.

Post mass nap time Tamo?

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 12:23 PM

Nap time tamo?

It is hard to ask. Feel like such a scrounger!
I have, however, remembered that spoons do unlimited refills on hot drinks for 1.50, so now I'm in spoons

Aww he's a good egg!

tamobhuuta 30-01-2024 12:32 PM

Good choice Cacoethes.

That's sweet of your partner lr.

I really want a nap but first I need to take meds and have a shower.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 12:44 PM

Get those out of the way and then you can relax tamo!

I try not to judge, but the amount of people drinking alcohol before midday is slightly concerning!

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 01:05 PM

Hi everyone, lots going on for you all. I hope you have ok days at least.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 01:17 PM

Hey lindsay
I'm just loitering in the hospital now
Still 3 hours until appointment lol

How are you?

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 01:28 PM

What on earth are you going to do for 3 hours?!

I'm still not great. Wanted to go to the gym with my gym friends today but can't manage.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 01:30 PM

I have no idea XD
Tiktok?

Sorry to hear that
Have you planned to do anything else?

long road 30-01-2024 02:55 PM

I had a nap but 30 minutes into it was woken up by crisis team :plain: It was a good person though. Talked for an hour.

Just had lunch and might try and nap again now.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 02:58 PM

Glad you got a good person
They can be very hit and miss!

Cardiology managed to fit me in 2 hours early!
I went there just on the off chance they had a cancellation, but i just explained the train situation and they had sympathy! Receptionist even made me a coffee and got me some biscuits in case i was waiting a while. They were all so lovely!

not_so_insig 30-01-2024 04:16 PM

Afternoon all. That was good Beckie.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 04:24 PM

Hey dawn
How're you doing?

not_so_insig 30-01-2024 04:34 PM

I am not so good Beckie. Am annoyed because I spent ages asleep. My cat has given me a dirty look because I coughed :angry:

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 04:41 PM

Glad you got to talk to a good person, Jen.

That was lucky, Beckie! Always nice to be treated nice.

I hope you can get into a sleeping pattern that suits you, Dawn. Crookshanks does that with me too!

not_so_insig 30-01-2024 04:53 PM

Yes I hope so too that I get into my usual routine. Lack of tv for a week has thrown it off. Hopefully I'll be ok next week.

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 04:56 PM

Changes in routine can be hard. Is there anything good on TV today?

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 04:56 PM

Sorry to hear that dawn
Hopefully getting your routine back will help

It was lucky! Sent an email about how lovely they all were.

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 04:57 PM

That was nice of you to email them, I bet it will make their day.

not_so_insig 30-01-2024 05:07 PM

I don't think there's anything particularly spectacular on the telly tonight. I do have my parents coming later so no doubt we will find something as last week we had to talk to one another! It was eerily quiet. Normally we watch The Chase on Challenge.

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 05:36 PM

I think it's always nice to get recognition when you do nice things for people. They could have easily not even tried to see me earlier! And the coffee and biscuits were a nice bonus!

one_step_closer 30-01-2024 06:43 PM

Hope you enjoy seeing your parents, Dawn.

I do like telling people how great they are!

Cacoethes 30-01-2024 07:32 PM

Me too lindsay!

Off to krav maga in a bit. I'm too tired but the cardio dr said to do what I'd normally do.

not_so_insig 30-01-2024 07:45 PM

I just had a shock. My cousins wife just been on the telly.

tamobhuuta 30-01-2024 09:17 PM

I spent over an hour trying to divide a circle into equal 12ths. I failed. L is going to borrow me a protractor and I'm going to do sixths instead.

Good news on the cardiology appointment Cacoethes!

Sorry you're off kilter insig. Did you see your parents yet?

What are you up to osc?

How has the rest of your day been lr?

Cacoethes 31-01-2024 05:17 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 12:07 PM

Good morning! Anyone around? I only just got up, I was exhausted after yesterday!

long road 31-01-2024 12:07 PM

Morning!

I've been awake a while but only just came online.

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 12:10 PM

Hi lr :) how are you?

long road 31-01-2024 12:13 PM

I am not sure how I am.

But I have coffee and it is very tasty.

How are you this morning?

How are you getting on with the new kitten?

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 12:16 PM

Coffee is good.

The kitten is adorable! A bit of a menace but all the cuter for it.

long road 31-01-2024 12:19 PM

Cuteness is how animals get away with their mischief!

I have got some admin bits to do and some OT stuff but haven't found motivation yet. You got any plans?

not_so_insig 31-01-2024 12:41 PM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 12:49 PM

Good luck, I wish you energy! I need to wash my hair but I haven't had breakfast and meds yet.

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 12:49 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

one_step_closer 31-01-2024 01:00 PM

Hi everyone.

How are you, Beckie?

Are you settling in at home ok, Tamo. Hope you get your things done, no rush though really.

*Sends Jen lots of motivation*

Hi Dawn, how are you?

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 01:14 PM

Hi osc, how are you? I'm just finishing my breakfast coffee then it's shower time. Full hair wash today. I think Mum will let me use my razor.

one_step_closer 31-01-2024 01:19 PM

I hope you can relax after your shower. I'm trying to be ok. There's a new series of Ambulance starting today for everyone who watches it.

not_so_insig 31-01-2024 01:20 PM

I am mixed. I was supposed to go wild swimming today but S (the person I go with) has had a bad night and can't take me. But on the other hand I feel less awful today than yesterday.

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 01:24 PM

Thanks. Good luck feeling OK! Enjoy Ambulance, I hope its a bit of a distraction. I've just said my sister can have the shower next so I will occupy myself for a bit. The dishwasher probably needs doing.

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 01:25 PM

Sorry you missed out insig. Less awful is a good start though!

tamobhuuta 31-01-2024 01:28 PM

Also, in important news, my calves hurt because I haven't used stairs for 4 months.

long road 31-01-2024 01:31 PM

Admin progress so far :
- Replied to the email from my step grandmother from 2 weeks ago.

- Emailed the student whose research study on FND I have agreed to be part of about scheduling a date for interview

- Updated routine / schedule

Cacoethes 31-01-2024 01:35 PM

Hey everyone!

Car tax and insurance are hurting my brain XD
Well, the tax is figured out i think

not_so_insig 31-01-2024 02:06 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta. I am sitting here wondering what to do with myself. I have no plans today other than to wash my hair and put the recycling boxes out.
