I am snuggling Roary lion and Ducky duck. Trying to rest

tamobhuuta 29-09-2023 03:35 PM

I'm snuggling Crumpet :) I hope you can relax.

long road 29-09-2023 03:47 PM

Glad you have Crumpet for company. Cuddly animals help.

tamobhuuta 29-09-2023 03:53 PM

They really do! But some are special, I think you'll agree.

Cacoethes 29-09-2023 04:04 PM

It has not been bueno today
Left at 2:30 after spilling an entire glass of wine directly on a customer (she was fine about it) which was just the last straw really! Had a breakdown, decided on the way home that i was going to get one of my nips pierced. I was lucky because the lady who was being pierced decided against it, so i got her space!

long road 29-09-2023 09:49 PM

Some are extra special. I snuggled.so hard I feel asleep until 9pm! Really drowsy so headed back to sleep on a minute.

I am not sure that is entirely lucky Beckie as it doesn't seem like the something that should be a split second decision. But if you ar ehapoy with it that's good. Sorry to hear you had a terrible day at work.

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 07:20 AM

Morning everyone!

Don't worry jen, I've wanted to get it done for AGES
And piercings are easily removable!

long road 30-09-2023 08:25 AM

Morning!

Phew! Glad to hear it! How do they feel this morning?

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 08:31 AM

Absolutely fine thanks!
No pain whatsoever.

How are you this morning?

long road 30-09-2023 08:36 AM

That's good.

I am not sure how I am yet. Not great.

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 08:41 AM

Same tbh

But seeing jas today so yay!

Elmer 30-09-2023 08:43 AM

Hello, good morning, yet another attempt from me to be more involved in this thread rather than being a lurking lurker, I hope that's OK.

Sending lots of good thoughts to you all it sounds like lots of people are having a really rough time at the moment <3

Beckie, I hope your piercing heals without too much issue (ninja post - have fun with Jasmine!), and Jen I hope your day improves

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 08:51 AM

Hellooo Lio!
Nice to see you in here!

And good thoughts to you too <3

Thank you!

Elmer 30-09-2023 09:11 AM

Thanks Beckie :)

It's a beautiful morning here. I'm heading out to check on my friend's dog later, I hope it lasts. How's the weather elsewhere?

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 09:20 AM

It's lovely here too!
Sunny and a good temperature

Any plans for the day?

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 09:53 AM

Hi everyone, especially the lovely Elmer.
Weather update: beautiful blue skies.

My mum's coming at 11am. Nap time.

Elmer 30-09-2023 09:53 AM

These are the best kind of day.

I'm looking in on my friend's dog and I might be seeing my mum and her dogs later. So many dogs!

Elmer 30-09-2023 09:54 AM

Hi Tamo :)

I hope you have a good nap and visit with your mum

nonperson 30-09-2023 10:27 AM

Dogs improve everything =)

I'm at work but stuck in one spot guarding an entrance gate to stop the wrong people trying to drive in... I am beyond bored and only been here for an hour. And the sun is in my eyes.

Zurg 30-09-2023 10:50 AM

Hi all :)

I have a bunny that is currently demolishing a small carpet. I can hear him tearing it to pieces and his frustrated grunts in between XD
Going to Ikea with a friend in an hour-ish. Ikea just after payday and the various uni courses just started a few weeks ago. I am unsure whether i should put on protective gear and possibly bring some holy water….!!! If i can handle this, i can survive anything!!!
I approve of a nap, Tamo. And of a piercing, Beckie. But not of sunlight in the eyes, NP. Oh, and all the dogs, Elmer! :D

Elmer 30-09-2023 10:56 AM

Dogs do improve everything :)

I hope your day isn't too tedious NP. The planet will hopefully spin enough to get the sun out of your eyes soon!

Your bunny sounds like a terror Zurg, but at least he's enjoying himself. IKEA during the uni rush is very brave, a helmet is absolutely necessary :')

nonperson 30-09-2023 10:56 AM

It was nice knowing you, Zurg. ;-)

nonperson 30-09-2023 10:58 AM

Also the planet is only going to spin enough so that the sun is in my eyes on the other side of my face! I'm hoping for some more clouds.

That isn't meant to sound like I have two sets of eyes...

Elmer 30-09-2023 12:03 PM

It did sound a bit like you have multiple pairs of eyes :')

Here's hoping for clouds!

I just dropped my phone on/next to my cat who was peacefully asleep and now I am the worst person in the world :(

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 12:23 PM

An eventful morning all round. My mum came, so did my big sister. They brought me Costa!

nonperson 30-09-2023 12:25 PM

That's nice of them, Tamo =)

I have dropped my phone on my cat too. It is the worst feeling!

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 12:31 PM

I often trod on our cat. I think they forgive us.

nonperson 30-09-2023 12:38 PM

They always forgive. Eventually.

When I stand on the cat it's usually his fault so I don't feel too bad about that. Or when I sit on him because he decides to dash under my bum as it is lowering to the sofa.

long road 30-09-2023 12:44 PM

I ended up going back to sleep. It was needed.

Eventful morning for you all sorry not got energy to reply.

Now trying to decide what I have the energy to make for lunch.

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 12:51 PM

I was looking forward to soup for lunch but it was chicken - no good for a veggie.

long road 30-09-2023 01:03 PM

Yeah chicken soup is definitely not vegetarian!

Did you find an acceptable alternative?

Elmer 30-09-2023 01:18 PM

Cats are so weird.

I hope that everyone has/had good lunch food in the end, sad to hear about your soup Tamo, and hope that lunch helps a bit Jen.

I'm heading out to meet my mum shortly but I do not wish to move from my chair.

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 01:21 PM

Good afternoon everyone!
Just waiting for my bus home

long road 30-09-2023 01:30 PM

My partner has come to my rescue as I couldn't find the energy to make lunch. He is also still ill but doesn't have the chronic illnesses to deal with on top.

I am going to have super noodles.

Chairs ar enough cosier than outside I understand your predicament Lio.

Did you have a good visit with Jas Beckie?

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 01:51 PM

I had raspberry yoghurt and Pom bears.

Enjoy your noodles lr.

long road 30-09-2023 03:01 PM

Tasty but not really a proper lunch. The joys of dietary requirements when in hospital...

Noodles were very noodley

nonperson 30-09-2023 03:03 PM

I pissed off a load of people today (they were in the wrong and so I called someone who came and spoke very sensibly but harshly to them) so they were trying to bribe me with guilt food at lunch time! Trying to get me to join their gathering and eat their pizza, haha. I said no though and had a very disappointing lunch at home instead.

one_step_closer 30-09-2023 03:22 PM

Hi everyone, have read.

Sending love to you all.

I had to go to a thing because the organisation where my support worker works is 40 years old today and I got to cut a ribbon to mark the occasion. I was looking all over the place because there were tons of cameras and I was like "where am I supposed to cut the ribbon" so I probably looked totally stupid. My friend had to say something though which I am glad I didn't have to do! Spent a while there with some people but I really wanted to go, then had loads of housework and stuff to do.

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 03:33 PM

Super noodles are awesome
So are pom bears and yogurt tbh!
Love a pom bear

Why did you turn down pizza np??
Did you just not want to sit with the silly people?

That sounds quite cool lindsay!
I'd feel very important cutting a ribbon!

one_step_closer 30-09-2023 03:40 PM

I was expecting gold scissors but they were normal ones.

How is your day going, Beckie?

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 03:43 PM

How disappointing!

Not bad thanks.
Seeing Jas was really nice.
Just chilling now because i am exhausted

nonperson 30-09-2023 03:50 PM

That sounds cool, Lindsay! I hope the scissors were giant at least? I understand the awkwardness of all those cameras - I've had to receive trophies in a similar manor. I'm sure you looked fine!

Beckie, it was a little charity walk thing, so a smallish group of people but they'd stopped off for refreshments part way and I'd have felt too out of place. The offer was appreciated though.

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 04:00 PM

Well done osc!

I'm glad you got to see Jasmine, Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 04:04 PM

Ah i see!
Nice of them to offer then!

Thanks tamo

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 04:07 PM

I had some prn at 3.30, I think it's working :) also helping is Eminem!

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 04:10 PM

That's good!

Zurg 30-09-2023 04:11 PM

Whoop, whoop!!! I survived Ikea!!! I passed the self check out test!! I did not scream at anyone or started crying. But i did go a bit into overdrive when we ventured into the childrens' soft toys department…. Okay, i confess to buying a crocodile teddy bear. For myself!!!! :D
Now i don't feel the need to return to Ikea for the next 3 or 4 years.
Now i'm hungry and my food is in the oven. I hope you're all having something nice for dinner :)

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 04:14 PM

Congratulations Zurg! I think the crocodile is entirely justifiable. Does she/he/they have a name yet?

long road 30-09-2023 04:21 PM

Yay for cuddly crocodile!!!

Cacoethes 30-09-2023 04:29 PM

Well done zurg!
