Thanks. Is there anything you'd LIKE to do so it's not alĺ scarey?

Cacoethes 04-11-2023 12:07 PM

Yeah. It's London as well. London is already super expensive!

Days can be tough lindsay
Have you got any good distractions?

long road 04-11-2023 02:55 PM

I fell asleep again. For 2 hours or so. Sleeping a bit too much recently.

one_step_closer 04-11-2023 04:59 PM

I've done some stuff that have felt ok but it's nearly the evening and that is what I dread most.

How are you all getting on?

tamobhuuta 04-11-2023 05:16 PM

I can't have PRN because my chart has run out? So the doctor has to re write it?

long road 04-11-2023 05:19 PM

That sounds super frustrating Tamo.

one_step_closer 04-11-2023 06:52 PM

So many stupid things in hospital.

tamobhuuta 04-11-2023 08:10 PM

My PRN got written up, I've just had some and am listening to music.

not_so_insig 04-11-2023 09:18 PM

Sorry I haven't posted today I am not doing so great. I appear not to be the only one. Haven't got the energy to reply to specific posts apologies.

Accidentally Abstract 04-11-2023 09:23 PM

Sorry you're struggling Dawn, sending hugs if they're wanted. <3

Thank you for hugs Lindsay and Jen, appreciated.

Yay for FOB Beckie! Jealous! Looked fab on FB. :)

not_so_insig 04-11-2023 10:05 PM

Thanks Luce. I have detailed more in serious.

Accidentally Abstract 04-11-2023 10:25 PM

I'm quite pleased with myself that I'd seen it and replied before you posted that! Sending hugs, if you like and want them.

one_step_closer 05-11-2023 10:49 AM

Morning everyone, how are you all today? I won't be about much, meeting up with my brother although I don't want to because it will probably be horrible and awkward as usual.

Accidentally Abstract 05-11-2023 11:04 AM

Morning Lindsay, hope the meeting goes better than you're anticipating. Are you at least meeting somewhere you can have something nice to eat/drink/something..?

I'm not too bad, I finally got some feedback on the start of my chapter and she said "It's perfect. Do it." (as in finish it) so that's reassuring! I'll likely not be around much either as this chapter is due tomorrow so I'll be spending the day focussed on that.

Hope everyone has a decent Sunday. <3

one_step_closer 05-11-2023 11:27 AM

Wow, that's really great Luce! I hope you can enjoy finishing the chapter.

We usually go for lunch and then look for books in the charity shops.

Zurg 05-11-2023 01:02 PM

You rock, Luce!!! You can do it!!!! :D

It actually sounds like you do nice thing together, Lindsay. Though i do realise that even doing nice things can't always make up for the general awkwardness…. I hope it'll be okay <3

Going to see my friend and her giant fluffy kitty was nice. But it was too much and i ended up falling asleep on the couch when i got back and didn't have any energy to make, or heat, dinner….

long road 05-11-2023 02:10 PM

Hey friends!

Hope your days go well.

Mine hasn't been the best had a non epileptic seizure shortly after getting up so have retreated back to bed.

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 03:08 PM

Hey everyone

long road 05-11-2023 03:12 PM

Hey Beckie!

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 03:18 PM

How're you doing?

I'm about to clean the boys out

long road 05-11-2023 03:37 PM

Having a slow day after having a seizure this morning, so just chilling in bed really.

Enjoy the happy wheeks cleaning out the boys brings!

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 04:21 PM

Chilling is a good plan

They are very happy boys!
Cleaned up the kitchen and living room. Gonna do upstairs now

long road 05-11-2023 04:32 PM

Remember to pace yourself!

Yay to happy Guinea pigs!

one_step_closer 05-11-2023 04:52 PM

My brother cancelled on me when I was waiting for the train.

I hope you're not so tired today, Kat.

You recovering, Jen?

Sounds like you're on a cleaning spree, Beckie.

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 05:08 PM

Upstairs is done!
Now to chill and potentially nap

At least you weren't on the train lindsay!

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 06:24 PM

Good evening everyone. My mum visited me this morning with a gingerbread muffin om nom nom

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 06:29 PM

Evening!
Thst sounds nice!

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 06:45 PM

It was :) I'm hoping L will bring some form of hot chocolate this evening. Although if in bizarro world she doesn't we have supper on the ward now so I can have a hot drink then.

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 06:50 PM

I wish i had hot chocolate!

one_step_closer 05-11-2023 06:57 PM

Supper got introduced on my local ward ages ago because of concerns about people having nothing to eat from dinner time until breakfast time.

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 07:02 PM

I've never understood the supper thing tbh

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 07:03 PM

Supper is a recent thing here. If you're hungry you can have spaghetti hoops!

one_step_closer 05-11-2023 07:06 PM

Spaghetti hoops are yuck! We get toast and hot drinks mostly.

Cacoethes 05-11-2023 07:19 PM

Supper has always been a thing in my wards.
Toast, yogurts and ice cream if there is any!
And hot chocolate and ovaltine

long road 05-11-2023 07:46 PM

Spaghetti hoops are a treat wouldn't want them that late though.

Confusingly at my local medical hospital supper is what the call dinner/tea/ 3rd meal and dinner is what they call lunch. Their supper happens at 5:30pm.

Only time I ever had supper in my normal life was a hot drink and a chocolate biscuit whenever we stayed over at my grandparents house.

I am doing ok, had a nap but have woken up with a headache.

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 07:58 PM

Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner. In our house anyway.

long road 05-11-2023 08:05 PM

It's always been Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in my house. But I know some northerners who say lunch is Dinner and Dinner is Tea. Never encountered dinner as supper until local hospital though maybe its a southwest hing. They do a hot drink and biscuits round around 8pm though.

Talking of dinner we are having a bit of a late one but it should be ready on about 15 -20 minutes. We having tuna pasta bake!

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 09:03 PM

Enjoy dinner when it happens!

long road 05-11-2023 09:17 PM

Dinner was so good that I had seconds!

Did L bring hot chocolate?

tamobhuuta 05-11-2023 10:01 PM

Yes with maple syrup!

long road 05-11-2023 10:08 PM

Ooh that's exciting! I have an instinct it might be too sweet though.

Cacoethes 06-11-2023 05:44 AM

Morning everyone!
I'm up early, but i went to bed at 7pm so makes sense!

long road 06-11-2023 08:36 AM

Morning!

Cacoethes 06-11-2023 08:37 AM

Hey Jen!
How are you?

long road 06-11-2023 08:41 AM

Not too bad. Had some very odd dreams though.

Just taken my once a week medicine where I have have to sit bolt upright afterwards for 30 minutes

Cacoethes 06-11-2023 08:51 AM

I like odd dreams, most of the time!

How annoying!

Any plans for the day?

long road 06-11-2023 09:02 AM

There was a person who was a psychic and it turned out they were secretly from another world and the. They decided to transform in a flower. It was a beautiful flower.

It is my least favourite medicine but at least it's only once a week.

I might build my Lego bonsai tree set. I forgot I had it and rediscovered it on Saturday

How are you?

Cacoethes 06-11-2023 09:07 AM

Ooh lego!
I don't have the patience for that!

I'm ok.
Anxious about appointment, of course!
But it is what it is!

L is coming over for a coffee before she starts work

long road 06-11-2023 09:12 AM

Lego is one of my favourite things. Incidentally I wonde how you would fit Lego into the sound of music song...

Understandable to be anxious, hope it goes as ok as such appointments can.

That's nice.

I can eat now so going to go make something for breakfast and a coffee!

Cacoethes 06-11-2023 09:34 AM

L's friend has a lego room. Literally a whole room of lego. beaches, castles, shops all on the tops of tables. Honestly it's amazing!


Thanks!

Good! What you having?
