I was good and took paracetamol.

Well done for putting everything away Dawn. Glad your nap helped you out.

Are you enjoying twenty twelve Tamo? Is it the right show to fit your mood? I know you were choosing between it and blacks books.

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 06:39 PM

Must have been an excellent nap, Dawn! I'm glad it helped.

Enjoying it, Tamo?

That should keep you going for a while then, Jen. Well done with taking Paracetamol, I hope it helps.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 06:42 PM

Yes I'm enjoying it, I think it's the right choice.

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 06:45 PM

Good stuff Tamo.

I just got a delivery of a box of chocolates (one of my late night snack spending spree things) would anyone like some? Or is chocolate cake and chocolates too much for one day?

long road 19-06-2023 06:47 PM

I could take a chocolate for after dinner. We are having veggie risotto tonight my partner is just cooking it.

not_so_insig 19-06-2023 06:50 PM

Thanks Jen and Lindsay. I feel a lot better for having a sleep. If it's horrendously hot tomorrow then I might do the same, but I have a very busy day.

long road 19-06-2023 07:35 PM

Perhaps an early night is in order then Dawn? If you reckon you can sleep after napping earlier.

I am trying to watch more Foyles War but starting to lose focus.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 07:56 PM

Can I have one with a caramel filling?

long road 19-06-2023 08:09 PM

Ooh good choice Tamo!

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 08:10 PM

I've been put off risotto because the first time I had it I was sick.

What have you got on tomorrow, Dawn? I hope you have a good sleep tonight and continue to feel better.

Are there other programmes you can watch that don't involve much focus, Jen?

I don't even this this box of chocolates has a caramel filled one which is sad. I will buy all the boxes of chocolates to find you one though, Tamo!

long road 19-06-2023 08:14 PM

I am stil watching it for now. But when this episode ends I might look for something else. That means making a decision though rather than watching current go to programme. I could watch MasterChef but not in mood for a cooking show.

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 08:17 PM

Would anything make the decision making easier?

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 08:49 PM

I look forward to it osc :)

long road 19-06-2023 09:11 PM

Currently watching a bit of YouTube.

Decided that I am going to try and contact my GP tomorrow.

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 12:50 AM

Morning guys XD
Just got home.
Hopefully sleep soon. Zzzzz

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 07:32 AM

Proper morning guys! XD

not_so_insig 20-06-2023 09:20 AM

Sorry I didn't answer peeps yesterday I decided to take your advice and go to bed early. I have a busy day today. I am awake early because I have an appointment with the nurse at my gp surgery this morning, have cpn coming this afternoon and parents coming tonight. My gp's surgery was rather keen I go for some reason as they phoned me twice, sent me a letter and a text. It's for a physical health check due to the fact I am on mh meds.

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 10:29 AM

Busy day indeed! Good luck with everything.

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 10:45 AM

Hey guys.

I only have gym (done) and glow beatz today.
And need to go to gp surgery to pick up blood test form. And see if meds are ready. And pop into hairdressers to ask a question. And call the college.

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 10:45 AM

Morning everyone.

How did you sleep, Beckie? I hope you have a good day ahead of you.

Jen, I hope you have managed to phone your GP.

I hope your busy day is manageable, Dawn.

How are you doing, Tamo?

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 10:46 AM

Ninja Beckie.

You started saying 'I only have...' and then it turned into kind of a lot of things!

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 11:01 AM

I got 3 hours sleep XD

Yeah i guess so! Lol
The town things should only really count as one because they don't take long at all.

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 11:03 AM

Boo to 3 hours sleep. How are you even upright and doing things?!

Ahimsa 20-06-2023 11:05 AM

Hey guys :)

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 11:08 AM

Oh, hey. Nice to see you here. :-) How are you doing?

Ahimsa 20-06-2023 11:08 AM

I'm okay thank you, how're you?

It's been a while hasn't it!

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 11:10 AM

How was your break from RYL/this thread?

I'm struggling but seeing my psych tomorrow.

Do you have plans for today?

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 11:14 AM

Hi Ahimsa and osc. I'm doing ok. Luckily Dad's doing his supermarket shop today so I don't need to pop over the road (normally he does it on a Thursday).

Ahimsa 20-06-2023 11:16 AM

OSC - I'm off work this week so trying to catch up on all the house tasks, todays list is dying my hair, going to the charity shop and painting the kitchen. What're you up to? I'm sorry you're struggling, is there anything we can help with?

What a win Tamo!

one_step_closer 20-06-2023 11:27 AM

What will you be doing today then, Tamo?

A week off work, great stuff! Do some nice things for yourself too.

People have been very helpful replying to my thread in serious when they can. It's nice to just have a chat here too.

Got the gym group this afternoon so need to have an early lunch. Then when I get home I need to put a washing on.

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 11:47 AM

Apparently i don't need sleep anymore XD
I am functioning at half capacity though lol

Hey beth! Nice to have you back!

long road 20-06-2023 11:48 AM

Morning! (just)

I only woke up 15 minutes ago. Had a rough evening with my FND so must have needed the sleep.

Hey Beth, nice to see you here again

Hope everyone's tasks go well. I have nothing I have to do today but a few things I would like to.

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 12:02 PM

Just doing my normal stuff. I'm going to try to read, I only looked at the pictures in Vogue yesterday!

Ahimsa 20-06-2023 12:26 PM

Ooh Tamo you've reminded me I need to buy Vogue purely for Miriam!

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 12:37 PM

She is awesome!

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 12:44 PM

Definitely sounds like you needed the sleep jen!
Are you feeling any better?

I've posted a couple of things. Meds will be ready in about 15 mins. Well, more like 5 mind now. Then popping into hairdressers to check the time.
Also got my blood test form. Another urgent one so i don't need to book. Idk if i can be bothered to go tomorrow when I'm going to B anyway on Thursday.
But i may have to rush for a bus so probably should go tomorrow.

long road 20-06-2023 12:46 PM

Not really sure. Maybe a little better. Managed to get outside which was on my things I'd like to do list.

Ahimsa 20-06-2023 12:51 PM

I had a blood test last week Beckie, I hope yours goes okay?

I missed the call with my results cos I was at work, and when I called to request a better time the soonest they've offered is 30th August. How annoying - when I've looked online and I know a few of them aren't great!

In positive news, my new tea is here :)

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 01:07 PM

Ooo tea!

not_so_insig 20-06-2023 01:12 PM

Afternoon all. The nurses clinic was running late so I was in the doctors for over 45 minutes. Then i had to answer a ton of questions. It was like the Spanish inquisition. I had a blood test done which was scary because I am frightened of needles. But I didnt faint which is a bonus XD.

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 01:22 PM

Well done for getting outside jen!

Thanks beth. It's to check sodium again, because it was rather low. At least it's put down as urgent so i can just rock up, even though there are ALWAYS appointments for a couple of days later.

Your gp sounds horrendous tbh!

New tea is exciting!

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 01:27 PM

I'm glad you didn't faint insig.

not_so_insig 20-06-2023 02:07 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta.

long road 20-06-2023 02:11 PM

So I was dissociating a bit outside came in and starting just ploughing into chores that could really wiat but my brain has somehow decided must be done. Have cleaned the sink, put some stained washing into soak, put away the clean dry washing collapsed some boxes deliveries came in so they can be recycled and am about to hang up the damp washing that we brought inside because it was threatening rain. In the end all it did was spit a little bit but there is still a chance of more rian so not worth putting it back outside looking less and less likely I will get thunderstorm now. Weather app says thunderstorms but also says there is only a 35% chance of precipitation and that it will likely be less than 1mm.

Doing things is helping me mentally because my brain is in overdrive but may not be beat plan physically considering I fell out of bed and hit my head last night Nd FND is thing. Partner is napping so I have noone here to stop me doing all the chores.

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 03:28 PM

Do you need someone to tell you to stop? I can do that. STOP!

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 04:04 PM

STOP DOING THE THINGS!!!!
You will feel absolutely dreadful later/tomorrow!

long road 20-06-2023 04:11 PM

Unfortunately I stopped looking at the internet for a bit and didn't see you guys telling me to stop until now so I also cleaned the counter and hung up damp washing and didn't really rest. I did manage to make myself something to eat and drink some water and sit down in front of TV for a little bit though.

I am going to try and meditate now. I know doing things wasn't the best idea but I couldn't really help myself. And there's a load more bits to do that I am currently resisting. I think I may have the zoomies

tamobhuuta 20-06-2023 04:15 PM

I hope the meditation helps. Maybe rest after that too?

Cacoethes 20-06-2023 04:24 PM

*facepalm*
Can the other bits wait?

long road 20-06-2023 04:28 PM

Lying down to meditate now.

The other bits can wait logically. There is nothing that has to be done today apart from because my brain says it should.

My partner is awake and trying to persuade me to rest hence me at least coming to the bedroom to meditate and instead coming on here. But his parents are popping round in a minute and are going to sit outside (this is meant to be so I can rest) but I could just do more things.
