I'm just having a quiet day. I'm trying to draw a nice picture of my godmother for what I'm hoping to make her for Christmas but she just comes out looking like an ugly man!

Cacoethes 20-11-2023 05:43 PM

Drawing people is really hard!

tamobhuuta 20-11-2023 06:16 PM

I think I'm going to have to go for a small figure with her attributes so she knows it's her without me drawing her face!

Cacoethes 20-11-2023 06:18 PM

Good idea!

tamobhuuta 20-11-2023 06:19 PM

What are you up to?

Cacoethes 20-11-2023 06:22 PM

Just watching greys anatomy
Nothing exciting!

long road 20-11-2023 06:38 PM

I fell asleep on the sofa watching TV and now have a sore neck.

Obviously needed the sleep though

Cacoethes 20-11-2023 06:44 PM

Boo to sore neck!

long road 20-11-2023 06:56 PM

I know right! I guess that's what I get for sleeping somewhere other than bed though. I am clearly getting old!

Cacoethes 20-11-2023 06:57 PM

When you get past 25, even sleeping wrong in a bed can **** you up for a few days! XD

tamobhuuta 20-11-2023 08:47 PM

The nurse says meds might not be till 9pm. FFS.

Ahimsa 20-11-2023 09:06 PM

Hey all

long road 20-11-2023 09:11 PM

Eurgh that's annoying Tamo

Hey Beth.

I am just about to have a late dinner. We weren't hungry until now.

Ahimsa 20-11-2023 09:19 PM

What're you having LR?

tamobhuuta 20-11-2023 09:39 PM

Hurray I didn't have to wait till 9!

long road 20-11-2023 09:40 PM

Garlic Kyiv, mashed potatoes and veg. It was pretty good.

Now having a mulled cider tea.

Ahimsa 20-11-2023 09:43 PM

ooh that tea sounds nice, what brand is it?

long road 20-11-2023 10:55 PM

Bird and blend. It's super tasty!

Ahimsa 20-11-2023 11:04 PM

I LOVE Bird and Blend!

long road 20-11-2023 11:57 PM

I only discovered them recently after Lindsay sent me a sample in a care package
I am fast becoming a big fan!!!

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 04:07 AM

Morning everyone!

long road 21-11-2023 09:46 AM

Morning!

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 09:47 AM

Yaaay someone is awake! XD

How are you jen?

long road 21-11-2023 09:50 AM

Awake seems to strong of a word but yes I am about.

Not great but could be worse

Yourself?

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 10:04 AM

Could be worse is something at least!

I'm ok. Been a long day already!

long road 21-11-2023 10:46 AM

I saw you were up at stupid o clock. Maybe you could try for a nap later.

Just sat down with my coffee and going to take a minute

one_step_closer 21-11-2023 11:23 AM

Morning everyone.

Awake way too early there, Beckie!

Hope you're feeling more awake now, Jen.

Anyone got plans for today?

tamobhuuta 21-11-2023 11:24 AM

Morning Cacoethes and LR.

one_step_closer 21-11-2023 11:34 AM

Hi, Tamo. Do you have anything nice on today?

long road 21-11-2023 12:03 PM

My CMHT just answered the phone. It's a miracle!

I am sort of awake. Brain is a little scrambled.

Morning Tamo and Lindsay!

Zurg 21-11-2023 12:27 PM

Hi everyone :)
I feel tired, sad and like a grumpy, old lady today. I wish i could stay on my couch all day but my group therapy is finally starting up, 3 months late, and i would feel a bit like a git if i didn't show up. Especially after complaining so much about how it kept dragging out and such…
But it's cold :(
And i'm a wimp who needs the e bike to use much more assistance than usually. Which is a stupid reminder of how out of shape i am. Which makes me cranky because i cba to do anything about it right now….. Woe is me!!!

long road 21-11-2023 12:29 PM

Good morning Zurg!

Hope group therapy goes ok and that getting there isn't too much effort.

You can do this!

tamobhuuta 21-11-2023 01:29 PM

Have fun at your group Zurg. I have faith you can get there!

My dad visited this morning. I've had a hairwash. L or Mum are visiting this evening.

long road 21-11-2023 01:46 PM

I managed to shower.

My parents should be arriving sometime after 2pm. They are staying with me for 3 nights.

Hope you have a nice visit tonight Tamo. Anything else to fill your time?

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 02:01 PM

I did have a nap!
Feel a bit groggy now

Hello everyone!

That's a shock jen!
Hope they were helpful, or at least not completely useless!

I hope you manage to have an ok day zurg!

Well done tamo

long road 21-11-2023 02:18 PM

Eurgh post nap groggyness is not a vibe.

They said they would look at my notes and get back to me. So not th most helpful. But I was just shocked they answered the phone!

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 02:26 PM

It is not!
I'm gonna go for a walk now to wake myself up

Fingers crossed they actually call back!

one_step_closer 21-11-2023 05:06 PM

Hope group therapy was ok, Kat. You're allowed to have a moan.

I hope you have a nice time with your parents, Jen.

Well done, Tamo. Hope you have a good visit this evening.

It's cold enough outside to wake you up, Beckie!

I went to the gym for the first time in ages but unfortunately we ended up not going in and just had a chat instead.

tamobhuuta 21-11-2023 05:52 PM

I did some sketches for my godmother's present I'm working on. And I watched doctors of course!

Can you go to the gym for exercise another day osc?

How was your walk Cacoethes?

I'm glad you achieved contact lr.

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 06:32 PM

It woke me up temporarily. I'm tired again now XD

My walk was nice thanks tamo

What's everyone up to this evening?

tamobhuuta 21-11-2023 06:48 PM

Someone is coming to see me at 6pm but I don't know who... I'm watching Green Wing while I wait.

Cacoethes 21-11-2023 06:52 PM

Mystery guest!

I haven't watched green wing in forever!

Zurg 21-11-2023 08:18 PM

Ooh, surprise visitor, Tamo :)
I went to group. It was nice. We're only 3 so far but the other two were really nice and we actually managed to have some good chats for it being our first time.
I'll probably go to the bedroom soon. I have a stomach ache and i'm tired. Last night Findus came hopping into bed to, i thought, say goodnight. He let me cuddle him and then he peed on my duvet and happily hopped down and back into the livingroom XD The joys of bunny life!!!

tamobhuuta 21-11-2023 09:48 PM

Naughty bunny! Sleep well.

L was my visitor :) I am really anxious for no reason so I've taken prn with my night meds and I'm watching Green Wing till it kicks in.

Cacoethes 22-11-2023 05:44 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 22-11-2023 11:16 AM

Good morning Cacoethes, how are you?

one_step_closer 22-11-2023 11:22 AM

Morning everyone. How are you all?

I might have the answer to our very often questioned question - when does evening become night? I was putting a reminder in my phone and it included the word 'night' and my phone suggested I set a reminder for 9pm so it considers 9pm to be night. Case solved?

Cacoethes 22-11-2023 12:16 PM

Morning guys

I'm at my ED appointments. Fun times

9pm is definitely night!

How are you both?

one_step_closer 22-11-2023 12:48 PM

Hope you're getting on ok, Beckie.

I'm getting fed up of it being dull all the time.

tamobhuuta 22-11-2023 01:36 PM

9pm is the beginning of night for me. Even when I go to bed before that.

My dad visited. I've had a shower. Getting nervous about ward rounds tomorrow

I hope the appointments are going well Cacoethes.

It is dull osc. What are you up to?
