Morning guys!

Exactly!

Morning tamo!
How are you?

Morning Tamo!

I have just meditated. Trying to meditate twice a day once around mid morning / lunchtime and once just before bedtime. Only been a goal since yesterday and chatting with my OT but I think it's a good idea, meditation has always helped in the past.

That is a good idea!
Hopefully it helps!

I have cleaned out the piggos, cleaned, washed up and showered. Don't really have much else to do!

Hope you can find something to pass the time Beckie. I am just about to go out to the garden centre that has a nice cafe. Will probably get a roast dinner.

Lovely! I hope you enjoy it!

Hi everyone.

I hope you enjoy your time at the garden centre, Jen.

I have done all my main stuff too, Beckie. Do you tend to do it all at once of have breaks? My CPN keeps getting onto me for just doing one thing after the other.

Hi Tamo, how are you?

Hey lindsay
How are you?

I tend to do things all at once
I like to get things done
Why does your cpn get onto you about that? We all prefer to do things in different ways!

He thinks I should spread things out over the day. I just can't change my schedule or the way I do things and it's not as if it's detrimental to get everything done at once. Have you found something to occupy yourself with?

I've got a lot on my mind that is distressing me.

He sounds weird tbh

I have not. I'm bored. Currently just listening to music

Sorry to hear that.
Have you got any good coping things to use?

What are you listening to? Are you singing along? I like to sing when I'm hoovering but recently I get too out of breath to do it. Getting old!

I always need to have a soft toy squished in between my arm and torso now. Just trying to keep going with things but I wish I could talk to someone.

Just one of my random playlists! So a lot of different things. I don't sing along. I wouldn't want to subject the guinea pigs to that XD

I'm glad you have something that helps a bit
Not having anyone to talk to does suck though

I'm ok thanks. Had a visit off Dad, he's going away next week so I won't see him for a while.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Done some reading, now listening to music and thinking.

I went for a run and showered (again!)
Now chilling.

Hello!

Np!! Come back!!!

Morning everyone

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Morning!

I'm tired. Start work soon :(

How are you?

Hope work goes OK. I'm ok - tired. Got L visiting at 4pm which'll be nice.

Morning all.

As a result of napping after work each night this week, I now have a ridiculous amount to do today - and I've spent the morning asleep :(

I'm going to get up about half past and make a start!

Hi Ahimsa! I hope you have the energy to do what's necessary.

Afternoon everyone.

NP, I keep missing you when you pop in!

Hope work goes well Beckie and you feel less tired.

Enjoy your visit, Tamo. What are you going to do before then?

Do you need to get everything done today, Beth?

I do, because my dad is giving up his whole day tomorrow to help me with the tile grouting and wallpapering (which can't be done til I've painted the doorframes and skirting boards) and has to be done before the door is fitted back on Tuesday (which has taken a month to organise someone to do)

If he gets here and we can't do any of it because the painting either isn't done or isn't dry, or he can't help me with the edges of the wallpapering because I haven't done enough of it in the first place, or he can't fit the light switches because I haven't painted yet, or there's no space because I've not been to the tip or he can't have any lunch because I didn't bother to go food shopping or do the washing up so there's no plates - the whole day is ruined and his time is wasted which isn't fair.

We couldn't do last weekend because I was sick, we can't do the next two because I'm working.


*bare in mind he wasn't expecting this all done in a week, its been a month since his last helping day and the stuff for the tip from then, is still in my hallway.

Try to take it as easy as you can Beth. Is there a priority list you can follow so your Dad can help you the most but you don't put too much pressure on yourself if some of it doesn't happen?

In Jen related news I had come to A&E because random chest pain. Just sat in waiting room.

I have been to the tip so there is some space for us to work, and I've got some food for us too.

Rubbish news about A&E, hopefully you're feeling a little better soon!

Good work so far! Food is definitely most important.

Just had blood test and ECG. Hopefully it's nothing serious and I can go home soon.

Fingers crossed tests come back OK lr.

Well done for progress Ahimsa.

I spent the morning having a lie down. This afternoon i wrote a letter to a Carmelite priest about prayer. I don't know if it's ok to write to him, I'm prepared for him not replying.

Just waiting round for results and to see doctor. Probably be another hour or so.

I hope the priest writes back if they are allowed to Tamo. And if not I hope writing the letter itself was helpful

Update: test results were all ok probably just a muscle spasm like I usually get from FND but in my chest where I don't usually get them. Heading home now.

That's positive news LR

That's good news, though it must have been quite scarey.

Glad it's nothing too serious, Jen.

How are you getting on with things now, Beth?

Hello everyone
Just finished work, waiting to be picked up.

How's everyone's days been?

I've mostly been in an I can't be bothered mood but got everything done anyway.

How was work? Will you be able to relax when you get home?

Well done for pushing through!

Was ok thanks. Went pretty quickly because it was busy, which is always good!

Yeah much better than it dragging in. How long does it take you to get home?

Hey Beckie, Hey OSC.

About 30 mins to get home, which isn't too bad

Hey beth! How are you?

I'm okay, I got a few things done but I'm wallpapering now.

I did:
Go the tip
Buy food for me and dad tomorrow
Paint the skirting boards in the bathroom (the most important cos we're doing the tile grout tomorrow)
Buy a wallpapering kit cos there were some bits I didn't have
I've got 1 piece up so far!!

Well done beth!
That is a lot of achievement there!

Morning everyone

Hi Cacoethes, how are you?

I'm ok thanks
How are you?

Afternoon everyone. How are you all? What are you getting up to today?

Hello lindsay!
I am at work again :(
1-9pm

How are you?
Any plans for today?

So much working! I hope your shift goes well. Do you get on well with your colleagues?

I'm being bombarded by bad memories, just trying to get on with things. Done all of the tasks that can be done so far. Got a Tesco delivery coming between 4pm and 5pm.

Thanks!
Yeah I do :)

Sorry to hear that.
Well done for carrying on, but make some self care time also!

Afternoon all.
