Afternoon, Beckie. How is your day going?

Elmer 14-03-2025 02:15 PM

Afternoon! How are you today?

It's sunny but also cold here. I'm under a heated blanket vaguely considering doing some work.

one_step_closer 14-03-2025 02:19 PM

The sun is nice but often deceiving! It's hard to tell if it's going to be warm outside or not. My house is cold a lot of the time. Are you able to stay under your heated blanket while doing some work?

Elmer 14-03-2025 02:30 PM

Hi Lindsay! I didn't see your post. I hope you are alright.

Yeah it's warmer in the sun but the house is cold. I'm under the blanket at my desk so I can definitely get on with some work, I just need to actually do it :wow:

Cacoethes 14-03-2025 02:35 PM

Hey lindsay and Lio!
How are you both?

I'm ok. Tired. Had a lot to do today!

It was sunny here. Now raining and hailing!
My house is also cold.
Piercing studio isn't though :-D

Hello everyone!

I have spent my day so far in bed as had a load of seizures last night which took a lot out of me.

Sending good vibes!

Cacoethes 14-03-2025 04:37 PM

Hi Jen!
Nice to see you!
Hope you're recovering!

long road 14-03-2025 06:08 PM

Still feeling a bit **** but have a snuggle nest set up!

How did your piercing go?

Cacoethes 14-03-2025 06:15 PM

Love a snuggle nest!

It went well thanks!
I nearly passed out from standing up too long (not because of the actual piercing) but that's about all that went wobbly!

one_step_closer 14-03-2025 06:52 PM

Hope you've had a good day whatever you got up to, Lio.

Are you ok, Beckie? Are you not following my demand to look after yourself?!

I hope you're comfy and as relaxed as possible in your snuggle nest, Jen.

Cacoethes 14-03-2025 07:24 PM

I'm fine thanks :)
It's just a thing that happens if I stand up for too long! Been happening for a while. I can walk around for hours with no problem! But standing still, apparently not XD
I shared a banana with the owner of the studio, had some water and got it done eventually!

not_so_insig 14-03-2025 08:25 PM

Hello all.

long road 14-03-2025 09:02 PM

My snuggle nest was so snuggly that I feel asleep again XD

What are we going to do with you Beckie XD Glad piercing itself went well.

Hey Dawn how was your day?

Cacoethes 14-03-2025 11:19 PM

Who knows jen! XD
Should probably get it checked out at some point. L has a blood pressure machine somewhere. I'll see if that does anything weird first.

Glad you got some more sleep!

long road 14-03-2025 11:25 PM

Yeah might be worth doing your blood pressure sitting down then standing up for a minute, 5 minutes etc. until you feel faint. record it and show your GP. I know how it is to have a load of nagging health things you never get round to getting checked XD

Sleep is good.

Cacoethes 15-03-2025 09:31 AM

I'll get round to it eventually XD
Got some time on Monday. I'm at work all weekend. Ugh.

Morning everyone!

long road 15-03-2025 09:51 AM

Morning!

I only slept for four hours last night. Mind you I also spent most of day asleep so not too tired.

How are you?

Cacoethes 15-03-2025 10:32 AM

Sounds like it balanced out then!
Hopefully today is a better day

I'm ok. At work :(

long road 15-03-2025 11:35 AM

Hope work goes quickly and the customers are as minimally annoying as possible.

not_so_insig 15-03-2025 12:34 PM

Hello all.

Cacoethes 15-03-2025 02:07 PM

Thanks!
It has been mental so far. At least passing fairly quickly

How is everyone?

one_step_closer 15-03-2025 02:33 PM

Afternoon everyone.

What time do you finish work today, Beckie?

Is there anything you hope to do with your day, Jen?

Hi Dawn, how are you?

not_so_insig 15-03-2025 05:05 PM

Beckie there's an major football game tomorrow at Wembley between Liverpool and Newcastle United so that explains it :-) .

not_so_insig 15-03-2025 07:36 PM

Oops I forgot to answer you Lindsay. I am very unhappy today and cold.

Cacoethes 15-03-2025 08:23 PM

Thanks guys!

Yep, it was indeed football coaches! Many of them x.x

I finished at 6pm.

tamobhuuta 15-03-2025 09:42 PM

Evening all.

I'm glad you weren't tired lr.

Well done for surviving work Cacoethes.

I am also cold insig. Sorry you're sad :( edit: saw your rv would advise against your plan

How was your day osc?

Cacoethes 16-03-2025 09:32 AM

Morning everyone

Elmer 16-03-2025 10:14 AM

Morning :)

How are you? You're working today right? I hope it goes well!

Cacoethes 16-03-2025 10:37 AM

Morning Lio!
I am indeed :(
10:30-6:30
I've already had to park in my backup section and my vape disappeared down the side of my car seat. I managed to retrieve it with a pen though XD

How are you?

tamobhuuta 16-03-2025 02:29 PM

I'm glad you retrieved your vape!

Hi everyone.

one_step_closer 16-03-2025 02:50 PM

Hi everyone.

How are you, Lio?

I hope that was all the annoying things getting over with at the one time and everything goes smoothly now, Beckie.

How are you, Tamo?

Elmer 16-03-2025 03:42 PM

Sorry that your day didn't get off to the best start Beckie, I hope it has improved!

Hi Tamo, I hope you are alright?

How are things with you Lindsay?

I am OK, I am procrastinating but I have been for my Compulsory Leaving The House time which was very nice and I got ice cream mochi on offer!

tamobhuuta 16-03-2025 05:22 PM

Mmmm yummy!

I'm still in hospital, need to behave myself. But I'm drama free so far today :)

one_step_closer 16-03-2025 07:13 PM

That sounds like a very good reason to leave the house, Lio.

I hope things stay drama free for you, Tamo, and you keep making progress.

I managed a bit of reading today so that's good. I'm just struggling to enjoy things at the moment.

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 08:34 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 17-03-2025 11:23 AM

Hello all. I am in pain because I have an infection. I have had infections in that area before so know how to treat it. Just gotta put up with the pain :-( .

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 11:37 AM

That sucks dawn
I hope it improves quickly

not_so_insig 17-03-2025 11:51 AM

Thanks Beckie. Even the slightest pressure is painful.

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 11:52 AM

Sounds awful!

one_step_closer 17-03-2025 02:32 PM

Afternoon everyone.

How are you, Beckie?

I hope your infection clears up soon, Dawn.

not_so_insig 17-03-2025 02:39 PM

Thanks Lindsay.

I have been to town and saw 2 people who I haven't seen in years. Plus my friend who I met for coffee.

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 02:41 PM

Hey lindsay

I'm ok, thanks for asking!
Been pretty motivated and productive today, for some reason XD
Did my morning things, baked a cake, folded washing, put more washing on, cleaned and mopped kitchen, bathroom and hallway. All before midday!
Then went and met L for her break. Got a blood test at 3pm.

How are you? Been up to much today?

one_step_closer 17-03-2025 02:46 PM

You have been doing so much! What kind of cake did you bake? I hope everything goes ok with your blood test.

I'm still struggling. Went to visit my friend's cat who I'm looking after while my friend is on holiday, posted some things, went to the chemist, got some shopping, and washed my hair.

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 02:56 PM

I made a lemon drizzle cake. I took L some for her break. She thoroughly enjoyed it! She said 'how is it even better than last time?!' XD
Thank you, me too! Don't want to be getting any random dr calls in the next couple of days!

Sorry to hear that lindsay :(
Well done for getting things done regardless. It's really nice of you to look after your friend's cat!

tamobhuuta 17-03-2025 05:47 PM

Thinking of you all x

one_step_closer 17-03-2025 06:49 PM

I didn't see your post there, Dawn. Apologies. That's quite strange seeing 2 people you haven't seen for ages in the same day. Did you have a nice time with your friend?

Now you need to send me some lemon drizzle cake, Beckie! :laugh: Did they manage to take blood ok? When do you get the results?

Hi, Tamo. Remember we're here if you need support or a general chat.

Cacoethes 17-03-2025 07:55 PM

I will have to lindsay! I love baking for people! :-D
She managed to get blood second time, so not too bad! They lie me down now in case I pass out again XD

Hi tamo! Hope you're ok

Cacoethes 18-03-2025 08:18 AM

Morning everyone!

I'm off to visit my nanny today, so won't be around until much later.
Hope you all have good days!

one_step_closer 18-03-2025 11:51 AM

Morning peoples.

I hope you enjoy seeing your Nanny, Beckie.

not_so_insig 18-03-2025 01:52 PM

Afternoon all. Today's tasks are picking up to tgtg bag from town, seeing my parents and having a shower. My infection seems better today as it's less painful today. However it really hurt due to the sink touching it whilst I was in the bathroom yesterday. Unfortunately due to the position of my sink I cannot avoid having pressure on it.
