I got for my pee eventually!

Hope you manage your game jen. But take it easy!

And I agree with jen RE: cpn lindsay!

Work was hard. But we took nearly £9000 today! We were only predicted for nearly 8000 so smashed it, once again.

long road 23-08-2024 10:04 PM

I did manage to play in my game. We had a short session as we finished the scenario, finished about ten minutes ago. Was good silly fun. Trying to chill now as it did tire me out a bit again.

People can be scared when they see how I'll you are, I hope your godmother reacts with care and compassion Tamo.

Well done with work Beckie. Are you working tomorrow?

Cacoethes 23-08-2024 10:11 PM

Silly fun is the best fun!

Thanks! Yes I am. Same shift, 1pm-9pm.
Gonna be another busy one I imagine

long road 23-08-2024 10:35 PM

It really is! We fought a t-rex skeleton! XD

I expect it will be super busy! Make sure you pee before leaving the house tomorrow!

Cacoethes 23-08-2024 10:53 PM

That sounds both silly and awesome!

It will indeed!
I did before I left!
Don't always need to pee so frequently though.
Apparently I smelled like fast food when L hugged me. Idk how! I never leave the shop! I guess the smells travel but I'm used to it

Cacoethes 24-08-2024 08:37 AM

Morning everyone

long road 24-08-2024 10:12 AM

Morning!

I think I am finally getting better. Feel pretty good breathing wise this morning.

How are you Beckie?

Cacoethes 24-08-2024 10:55 AM

That is good news!

I'm ok thanks.
L isn't feeling well so I got S ready for going to his dad's and cleaned out the piggos and showered. What a fun filled morning it has been!

long road 24-08-2024 11:25 AM

Aww poor L. Good work looking after her and S.

I have had a slow morning so far been very chilled. Trying to decide whether it's worth going out today as everyone comes to visit the south west on bank holiday weekends so everywhere will be rammed but I haven't been out other than to the doctors/ hospital in a week

Cacoethes 24-08-2024 11:43 AM

Thanks.
I feel bad leaving her while I go to work but I can't not go :(
She'll hopefully just be in bed anyway. I've done all the essential house things like washing up, sweeping and putting washing on so she won't have to worry about that.

See how you feel maybe?

long road 24-08-2024 12:04 PM

It sucks. But in a capitalist world we need to work to get money to be able to live. Hopefully she takes it easy. At least S is at his Dad's so she won't need to be up and about to look after him.

I think I am going to stay in today on balance. Maybe go out in the garden for a bit.

one_step_closer 24-08-2024 12:38 PM

Hi everyone.

You are such a responsible adult, Beckie.

Glad things are getting better, Jen. A day in the garden can be nice if the weather is good.

Cacoethes 24-08-2024 12:44 PM

We do indeed :(
She is going to pick up my meds from here then going home to bed.
It is lucky that S is away this weekend!

Sounds like a plan.
What's the weather like? It's miserable and raining here!

First time anyone's describes me as that lindsay! XD

How are you lindsay?

one_step_closer 24-08-2024 12:45 PM

Haha!

Hope L feels better soon and your shift isn't too difficult.

I'm mostly feeling hopeless today.

tamobhuuta 24-08-2024 12:53 PM

Afternoon all xxx

long road 24-08-2024 02:06 PM

Weather is alternating between sunshine and rain showers. Just chilling inside at the moment as it's a bit unpredictable!

Hi Lindsay and Tamo!

not_so_insig 24-08-2024 02:13 PM

Afternoon all.

Cacoethes 24-08-2024 04:40 PM

Shift has been alright so far thanks
Busy as usual, but fine

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 10:17 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 10:56 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

one_step_closer 25-08-2024 11:33 AM

Morning everyone.

How are you all?

long road 25-08-2024 12:03 PM

Afternoon (just) everyone!

I am ok. FND is playing up a bit but lungs are behaving which is a massive win. Just drinking coffee and watching you tube at the moment.

How are you Lindsay? What are you up to?

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 12:36 PM

Hi osc, how are you?

Hi lr, sorry you're not feeling well.

long road 25-08-2024 01:08 PM

Not well but better than earlier in the week so I will take it!

How are you Tamo?

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 01:17 PM

Waiting to hear if I can use a pen...

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 01:19 PM

Hey everyone

I'm ok thanks.
Felt motivated this morning so I sorted the bookshelf out, hung washing out, did the washing up, changed the bed and got all the hay out of L's car (that was a task and a half!)

Feeling better is great jen!

Hope you get to use the pen tamo! As long as it is for legit purposes!

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 01:42 PM

Am not allowed a pen, even in the communal area.

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 02:28 PM

Hopefully once you build up a bit of trust with then, they'll be more willing to let you use one

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 04:07 PM

I do rather keep screwing up

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 04:13 PM

That's not good. Maybe for the best you don't have a pen for now then

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 05:33 PM

Well, yeah...

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 06:06 PM

How're you doing other than the pen situation?

long road 25-08-2024 06:11 PM

Is there any safe mark making device they would let you use Tamo? Maybe a crayon or something? Sounds like things are hard, hugs available if you would like some.

Well done with your chore conquests Beckie.

I am still feeling better breathing wise but FND and mentals are being a bit inconsiderate. Still being able to breathe easily is a welcome change and one I hope long continues!

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 06:41 PM

Thanks jen!

I hope it continues too! Sucks about the FND and mentals though. You can't seem to get a break!

one_step_closer 25-08-2024 06:53 PM

Glad your breathing is better, Jen. If it was bad on top of how you're doing today that would be extra tough.

If it's writing you need to do Tamo could you make notes on your phone?

Well done for doing all those things, Beckie.

It is absolutely bucketing with rain here right now. Was just thinking (where I am anyway) we haven't had the usual too hot nights this summer. We have had such a poor summer.

long road 25-08-2024 07:03 PM

It does feel a bit like if it's not one thing it's another/ I cant catch a break. But at least FND and mentals generally aren't as risky as asthma attacks and are a lot less likely to require ambulances/ hospital. Like it's still a bit rubbish but less rubbish.

It's been dry here today and quite windy. Alternating between sunny and grey. It has been a weirdly wet summer. Although I have had some far too hot nights here in south west.

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 07:10 PM

Thanks lindsay!

You must have the rain we had yesterday! It was dreadful!

I'm glad you're taking a positive outlook on it jen. That is good!

It's dry here today too, but also windy.

long road 25-08-2024 07:39 PM

Wel at least trying to be positive. Not sure quite how successful I am being.

Just having spaghetti Bolognese for dinner.

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 07:44 PM

Trying is better than nothing!

Ooh nice!

tamobhuuta 25-08-2024 07:51 PM

I'm making notes on the gospel on my phone but the way I read my magazine I need a pen or a pencil.

long road 25-08-2024 08:43 PM

Indeed!

It was delicious. I had it with cheese!

At least you can do some of it on your phone Tamo.

Cacoethes 25-08-2024 09:10 PM

Cheese makes everything 100x better!

I get it's not the same tamo, but maybe necessary atm

long road 25-08-2024 09:24 PM

I was going say cheese makes nearly anything better but I really struggled to find things that don't go with cheese. I guess cheese and stir fry doesn't work and only some cheese works with some desserts. Cos there is cheesecake and fruit cake and a good cheddar is chefs kiss. But cheese and sticky toffee pudding is a no from me. My brain is a bit weird right now so I may have put too much thought into this XD

Ahimsa 25-08-2024 11:24 PM

Just popping in to say hi and leave some positivity for those who need it.

LR: Halloumi works with stir fry ;)

long road 26-08-2024 12:24 AM

Hmmm tofu I can except but halloumi stir fry just feels wrong...

Ahimsa 26-08-2024 05:15 AM

Oh I love halloumi.

I've been trying to get to sleep since midnight, its now 5:15am :(

Cacoethes 26-08-2024 09:06 AM

Morning everyone

Hope you managed some sleep beth!

one_step_closer 26-08-2024 10:25 AM

Morning.

How are you, Beckie?

Hope you got some sleep, Beth. It's horrible when you can't sleep.

I'm going to see my brother today so will be away for a while.

Cacoethes 26-08-2024 10:42 AM

I'm ok thanks lindsay

I hope you have a nice time!

Ahimsa 26-08-2024 01:02 PM

I slept from about 6:30-12:30, and I'm just trying to get back on top of the house, before I go back to work tomorrow :(

Luckily I'm not going back to the cats and dogs practice yet - so will be able to avoid cat emergencies for another week <3

How is everyone?

I'm thinking clean the bathroom, do an hour in the garden and take what I can to the tip - I basically have 4 and a quarter hours until I'm picking my friend up.
