It must be quite draining with S's needs. Sounds like you're really great with him though.

I had an appointment with my CPN then did some shopping then sorted out my bins and put a mattress and boxes out for uplift then washed my hair. It hasn't really been good or bad just a lot.

tamobhuuta 19-02-2025 05:37 PM

There is a small garden you don't need leave for but it's just a path and a patch of grass. It's not nice in this weather.

It's good he was lurable Cacoethes!

Well done for doing everything osc and lr.

Cacoethes 19-02-2025 06:04 PM

It can be! Half term has been a lot.

That is a lot lindsay! Well done for managing

Psych ward gardens are rarely nice tbh!

Just woke up from a nap. Support worker went ok but took a lot out of me energy wise.

Want a shower but not sure I have the energy for one.

Have read and am sending good vibes to all xxx

one_step_closer 19-02-2025 06:49 PM

Yeah it's a bit cold and dull. Are there no nice spring plants, Tamo?

Just do what you can, Jen. I'm glad it went well with your support worker.

What are you all doing this evening?

Cacoethes 19-02-2025 09:06 PM

I agree with lindsay, do what you can jen!

I've just scrolled through 2 years of fb posts to show L the one when we first messaged, and she said 'I'd love to talk again, you're the first person I've spoken to who isn't manic depressive' XD
You commented on it Jen! :tongue2:

L has made frittatas (not made them before, she is vibing it) and we'll probably watch Game of Thrones.

How about you lindsay?

not_so_insig 20-02-2025 09:04 AM

Morning all. I am frozen - even worse than yesterday!

Cacoethes 20-02-2025 11:30 AM

Morning dawn! And everyone!
Hope you can warm up dawn!

And happy birthday jen!

long road 20-02-2025 11:47 AM

Morning everyone!

Aww thanks for birthday wishes Beckie!

My partner surprised me with 32 balloons this morning one for each year! XD

Cacoethes 20-02-2025 11:53 AM

Do love a balloon!
Do you have any plans for today?

one_step_closer 20-02-2025 12:02 PM

Morning everyone.

Happy Birthday, Jen! I hope you get to spend the day however you want to.

Have you got ways to warm up, Dawn?

How are you, Beckie?

tamobhuuta 20-02-2025 12:03 PM

Happy birthday lr!

Hello all.

one_step_closer 20-02-2025 12:09 PM

Hi, Tamo. How are you? Do you have any visitors or activities on today?

Cacoethes 20-02-2025 12:15 PM

Morning lindsay and tamo!
How are you both?

I'm ok thanks. Got a bit of a headache. At work later. Booo!

one_step_closer 20-02-2025 12:19 PM

I hope at least your headache will go away before work. What's your shift today?

I'm having a hard time but my friend is coming over to celebrate our year of friendship which was on Tuesday.

long road 20-02-2025 12:29 PM

Thanks for birthday greetings Tamo and Lindsay!

I have done presents and breakfast and now going to have a little nap. Planning to head out for lunch later, if I can find the energy! If not I will get fancy takeaway

Cacoethes 20-02-2025 01:21 PM

It has not XD
But I have paracetamol and ibuprofen. So I will take one or the other.
Start at 1pm. Finish at 9pm.

I hope you can have a nice time lindsay! What a lovely thing to do!

Sounds good jen!

not_so_insig 20-02-2025 02:02 PM

Happy birthday Jen!

I am much warmer now. In fact I am borderline too hot. It's raining here.

tamobhuuta 20-02-2025 03:30 PM

That sounds really run osc. Enjoy!

I hope the painkillers help Cacoethes and that work isn't stressful.

Enjoy your birthday treats lr :)

Are you glad not to be cold or is it just too hot insig?

long road 20-02-2025 04:10 PM

Thanks Dawn!

Energy has not been found so going to stay home and likely order something in for dinner. Did manage a shower though which was refreshing. Does feel a bit rubbish being stuck in bed on my birthday but not much I can do.

Cacoethes 20-02-2025 04:26 PM

Work is busy, but somehow time isn't passing very quickly!
The painkillers have helped though

Well done on the shower jen!

long road 20-02-2025 05:55 PM

Hope work speeds up Beckie!

I just woke up from my second nap of the day

one_step_closer 20-02-2025 07:23 PM

Do you have a birthday cake, Jen? I hope you have something really nice for your dinner.

Hope you can be busy enough to make time pass quickly but not too busy, Beckie.

long road 20-02-2025 08:23 PM

We bought a chocolate cake from the co-op for my birthday cake. Had spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread for dinner it was good but not mind blowing.

Cacoethes 21-02-2025 09:13 AM

Morning everyone

Elmer 21-02-2025 09:48 AM

Belated birthday wishes Jen!

Sticking my head in to say hi. I hope you have happy Fridays :)

I always think I'm going to start posting more regularly and never quite manage it, so apologies for occasionally just intruding on your conversations

long road 21-02-2025 10:26 AM

Morning!

Thanks for birthday wishes Lio. Just wanted to say I never see you posting as intruding, all are welcome whenever and however frequently! It's nice to 'see' you

Cacoethes 21-02-2025 11:40 AM

Hey lio!
Nice to see you :)
Hope you're doing ok!
And i never think of you intruding either!

How is everyone?

one_step_closer 21-02-2025 01:31 PM

You're definitely not intruding, Lio. It's always nice to see you.

How is everyone today?

long road 21-02-2025 04:09 PM

Having a bit of a bad pain day. Just woke up from a nap after taking painkillers. Hoping to play in my RPG online tonight.

Cacoethes 21-02-2025 04:36 PM

I'm ok
Did a few bits this morning. Had a shower, went to the snake place and got some moss, went to asda and booked hair appointments for me and L.
Then had a nap XD

How are you lindsay?

Fingers crossed you get to jen!

one_step_closer 21-02-2025 07:07 PM

I hope you get to play tonight, Jen.

Did you enjoy your nap, Beckie?

I am having a tough day.

Cacoethes 21-02-2025 08:06 PM

I did thank you!

Sorry to hear that lindsay

Thanks tamobhuuta, Lindsay and Lio.

one_step_closer 22-02-2025 06:55 PM

Nearly finished, Beckie! Hope you're doing ok.

How is your day going, Lio?

Cacoethes 22-02-2025 09:14 PM

It passed pretty quickly thanks!

I am home! Me and L had a couple of drinks at the village pub while watching the end of the rugby, and now picking a film to watch while she's getting together our Spanish tapas selection for date night.

How is everyone?

not_so_insig 22-02-2025 10:12 PM

I am back from my meal. It was good. I had a chilli con carne.

Elmer 23-02-2025 10:11 AM

My day was OK thanks Lindsay :)

Tapas and a film sounds lovely Beckie, I hope you enjoyed it!

Love a chilli, glad you had a good day Dawn

Morning, happy Sunday! How are people? Hope you all have a good day

Cacoethes 23-02-2025 12:22 PM

I did thanks tamo!

Morning and happy Sunday!
How are you?

one_step_closer 23-02-2025 01:15 PM

Afternoon everyone.

How are you all? What's the weather like with you? It's very wet and windy here.

Cacoethes 23-02-2025 03:34 PM

It's windy here! Not wet so far though

How are you today?

Elmer 23-02-2025 06:25 PM

It's just started to rain here and it's getting breezy. Most of the day was relatively nice though.

How were your days? I had a volunteering thing but I've spent a lot of the day horizontal which isn't ideal :eyeroll:
