Sending hugs.

Cacoethes 09-11-2023 07:39 PM

Thank you

long road 09-11-2023 08:01 PM

I am rather out of sorts still

My plan for the evening is dinner then talking to my parents. Not 100% I am up for parent conversation but it's something to do and might be a good distraction.

tamobhuuta 09-11-2023 09:10 PM

Good luck...

long road 09-11-2023 10:59 PM

Chat with my parents went well. We do get on. Just sometimes parents can be a bit of effort you know?

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 05:52 AM

Morning everyone

Zurg 10-11-2023 10:08 AM

Morning Beckie :)

I am fortunate and have fallen ill. Started yesterday. Feel more rubbish today. My frigde is almost empty but it feels way too difficult to go to the shop.
At least Findus has almost forgiven me for taking him to the vet on wednesday. He lets me pet him now <3
Are you doing anything today???

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 10:28 AM

Oh nooo! Sending healing vibes!

Is findus ok?

I had a shower, just got back from asda. Need to call someone because my fridge freezer has died, which is all i need right now. Got therapy at 12 and then a driving lesson.
Gonna try and clean out the boys today too

tamobhuuta 10-11-2023 10:59 AM

Sorry you're unwell Zurg. Sending hot honey and lemon/lucozade - your healing beverage of choice. Also toast with marmite in soldiers.

Oh no Cacoethes! How quickly can you get it fixed?

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 11:06 AM

Depends how much it costs.
I've asked for recommendations on a local page

How are you today tamo?

long road 10-11-2023 11:10 AM

Hope you feel better soon Zurg.

Oh no to the fridge freezer fiasco Beckie!

Hey Tamo, how are you?

I woke up at 9am I didn't get to sleep until nearly 4am. I am tired and not the best company.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 11:19 AM

Honestly it's just not what i need rn
And if it ends up being too expensive, i will most definitely burst into tears
Feeling rather fragile

Crappy sleep makes for a crappy mood

long road 10-11-2023 11:28 AM

Hopefully its just the lightbulb and not the fridge itself. Does it still feel cold?

Indeed. Not even coffee and fruit toast have cheered me up.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 11:30 AM

Not really.
I think things are slowly defrosting

That's a shame

one_step_closer 10-11-2023 11:46 AM

Morning everyone.

I hate feeling unwell. Sending lots of feeling sorry for you vibes and get well soon vibes, Kat.

Things breaking is not good. I hope you can get it sorted, Beckie. Good luck with the rest of your tasks. Are you looking forward to your driving lesson?

How are you, Tamo?

Aww that's sad, Jen. :( You need to do something extra nice for yourself today if you can manage.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 11:49 AM

Getting the fridge fixed is taking up far too much mental energy
I am looking forward to my driving lesson! Going to be doing manoeuvres today

How're you doing today lindsay?

one_step_closer 10-11-2023 12:00 PM

Like the fun parallel parking?!

I'm alive. Have been for my prescription and done a washing. Might go to Tesco after lunch.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 12:06 PM

Yep i imagine so!

Alive is good!
Even though i know it doesn't feel it sometimes

long road 10-11-2023 12:45 PM

I just showered and am feeling a little less pissed off at the universe.

Enjoy driving Beckie!

I am glad you are alive Lindsay, well done for your chore conquests.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 12:54 PM

My driving lesson has been moved to Monday now.
Which is fine. Means i have more time to clean the boys out

I'm glad you feel a little better jen

one_step_closer 10-11-2023 01:06 PM

Do you have magic water coming through your shower or something, Jen?!

That's a shame, Beckie. But at least you have less to power through.

long road 10-11-2023 01:45 PM

No magic water just feels nice to have achieves something and be clean. Plus it helped wake me up. And it only made me slightly less pissed off XD

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 01:50 PM

True
I'm pretty tired now

long road 10-11-2023 02:13 PM

I am bloody freezing. Even under a blanket

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 02:18 PM

Yeah me too
Blanket, oodie, hot water bottle

long road 10-11-2023 03:14 PM

I have added my super thick Doctor Who Christmas /Winter jumper and am a little warmer.

Cacoethes 10-11-2023 03:17 PM

Thats good

long road 10-11-2023 03:19 PM

It's an epic jumper covered in TARDIS's and Daleks with a few snowflakes / winter patterns thrown in.

tamobhuuta 10-11-2023 05:41 PM

That is indeed epic.

Today was haiwash day, which I achieved. I have also worked through my coping list so as not to rampage through the ward looking for sharps. Tmi?

one_step_closer 10-11-2023 08:07 PM

Well done for what people have achieved today.

It certainly is cold. Was frosty here this morning and then got a bit misty. I have a cat warming my lap at the moment.

not_so_insig 10-11-2023 09:22 PM

It's cold here too. I can't seem to get warm despite having the heating on.

maii 10-11-2023 09:47 PM

Hi ... just stopped by to say hello and wish others well, I haven't been in good headspace as of late and the main reason why I stay quiet here now.



Heating blanket? I sort of rely on mine.

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 05:20 AM

Morning everyone

long road 11-11-2023 09:20 AM

Morning

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 09:26 AM

Morning
How are you?

long road 11-11-2023 09:31 AM

Rather Meh. But I have coffee.

Yourself?

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 09:34 AM

Coffee is good!

Also meh.
But rather amused that i posted my first morning post at 4:20

long road 11-11-2023 09:37 AM

Coffee is life!

Well it was morning XD

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 09:46 AM

It is!

I meant it's the weed number.
Idk why. But it is XD

long road 11-11-2023 09:57 AM

Don't think I have come across 420 as the weed number before. Mind you I am not down with the kids as they say. Might go urban dictionary it.

tamobhuuta 11-11-2023 10:11 AM

Morning guys. We're meant to get a half hour lie in at the weekend but the nurse woke me up for meds at 8.30am anyway.

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 10:21 AM

Its been a thing forever jen!
I have no idea how you've managed not to see it!
Every 20th april is weed day because 4/20 XD

Morning tamo
That's very rude of them!

long road 11-11-2023 10:36 AM

Well I am pretty oblivious to such things. Urban Dictionary did seem to suggest it had been a think since the 70's.

Morning Tamo. That is very unfair of them.

Zurg 11-11-2023 11:15 AM

Morning all :)

That's the most hated thing for me being admitted; they insist on you getting up ridiculously early. Like, why???!!? So we can have breakfast that's **** and a morning meeting with singing and light gymnastics???! **** off!!!!
No, i am NOT a morning person ;)

Cacoethes 11-11-2023 11:23 AM

Yep! I'm not sure why though!

Morning zurg!
I get up early anyway, but refused to go to meetings.
They used to say they are mandatory, i would reply 'what are you gonna do, section me??' XD

one_step_closer 11-11-2023 11:33 AM

We are now discussing weed!!! I have never heard of this 420 thing either.

I also hate the early mornings in hospital. I always get up at about 7.30am to give me time to get dressed before they come in and put the lights on and start cleaning etc.

Hope you all have a good day.

Zurg 11-11-2023 11:36 AM

The last time i was on a ward, the morning meeting also included voting for what we should have for dinner in the evening. Every ****ing morning people voted for meals containing mashed potatoes. I DETEST mashed potatoes. Really rubbing a ton more salt into an open morning meeting wound. I Think in the end i just stopped showing up and went out to smoke and have coffee instead.

The 420 number refers to the time of the afternoon that people normally get home form work. Which apparently requires a bit of weed to wind down ;)

long road 11-11-2023 11:46 AM

We should probably stop talking about weed before we accidentally break the rules and get in trouble with the sheriff XD

Morning Zurg and Lindsay.

I like mashed potatoes but not hospital mashed potatoes, Hospital mashed potatoes suck.

one_step_closer 11-11-2023 11:54 AM

Hospital food is overwhelming.

one_step_closer 11-11-2023 11:58 AM

I see you NP. Miss you!
