one_step_closer 07-11-2023 11:24 AM

Morning everyone, how are you all? What are you getting up to today?

The postie just told me to have a good one so I'll pass his message onto you all too!

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 11:24 AM

Didn't see you there, Tamo. I hope your anxiety eases and it's good to see R.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 11:30 AM

I hope your visit is good tamo

What a nice postie!

I haven't got much on.
Need to pick up meds and go to aldi. See cpn, who has just informed me he is busy with something and will be late, so between 10:45 and 12 apparently. I said i didn't really need to see him, and he said he has something important to talk to me about. So that's not anxiety provoking at all!
Then i have krav maga again tonight

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 11:38 AM

I hate waiting for people. Hope it goes ok. Have you got something to distract yourself with in the meantime?

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 11:40 AM

I've just spotted it's a certain person's birthday!

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 11:41 AM

Im watching Doctor who.
I have outside stuff to do so I'm rather annoyed
Idk professionals think we can just sit here all day and wait for them

Accidentally Abstract 07-11-2023 12:14 PM

Oh yes, happy birthday Kat! :)

Hope the appointment goes okay Beckie, and your visit Tamo.

Thanks for good wishes courtesy of you and your postie Lindsay! :D I've had a GP appointment, got therapy shortly (which I'm nervous about today) and then got to work until this afternoon and then go to the piercing shop for advice, then meet my mentor. So a bit of a full on day! How about you?

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 12:22 PM

We are patients, Beckie. We are expected to make our lives revolve around the professionals!

Lots on today, Luce. I hope you have a good day and therapy goes well.

I only had to go for my prescription as usual and have washed my hair. Going to make some soup soon.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 12:23 PM

Happy birthhdaaaay!

Hi Luce
That is a busy day!
Hope all goes well

My appointment was fine.
Nothing major

They seem to think we have no lives and nothing to do!
Like when the carers used to get annoyed that they were 2 hours late and i had to go to work so wasn't there :eyeroll:

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 02:02 PM

Dad came first, he brought me proper tea. Then R was early :) he heard my Confession, he did anointing of the sick, some prayers against the Devil etc and gave me Communion. Then we chatted. He's so kind.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 02:06 PM

Sounds like a good day so far tamo!

I have been to get my meds and shopping.
And got my very exciting delivery of thermal socks XD

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 02:21 PM

Ooo thermal socks. Is it possible to get socks with specifically warm toes?

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 02:22 PM

Probably!
All of my feet are usually freezing so wouldn't need just thermal toes!

Zurg 07-11-2023 03:03 PM

This is a very silly birthday and my coffee smells like poo. Pah!!! :(

I hope you're all having a better day than i am <3

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 03:11 PM

Oh no zurg!
What's up?

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 03:27 PM

Afternoon all.

long road 07-11-2023 03:29 PM

Oh no Zurg! I hope you can get good coffee soon. And that your birthday goes better before the end of the day. Sending hugs if you would like them.

I have had a bit of a wasted day. Woke up late but at a reasonable time of 9:30am, got up went to the bathroom, got dizzy and almost had a seizure but managed to make it back to bed, and because I felt rubbish went back to sleep until 1:30pm.

The highlight of my day was fruit toast when I woke up the second time.

Afternoon Dawn!

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 03:44 PM

Happy birthday Zurg!

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 04:51 PM

Oh no, Kat. I hope your day improves.

I'm glad seeing R was helpful, Tamo.

Have you got your thermal socks on, Beckie? What do they feel like?

Hi, Dawn. How is your day going?

Sorry you've not been feeling well, Jen.

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 04:56 PM

I am feeling ok Lindsay. Managed to make an scary phone call.

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 05:02 PM

Well done. Are you doing anything nice with the rest of your day?

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 05:10 PM

Hoping your birthday is improving Zurg.

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 05:15 PM

No I am sitting here waiting for amazon. They're not coming until after 6 pm at the earliest. Contemplating what to have for tea.

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 05:24 PM

Also have my parents coming for a visit.

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 06:04 PM

Is that good or bad insig?

not_so_insig 07-11-2023 06:06 PM

Yes it's a good thing tamobhuuta.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 06:13 PM

Hey guys

I'm going to do the thing where i rudely ignore everyone else and only reply to posts concerning me:

The socks are very warm lindsay so i no longer have to wear 2-3 pairs at a time!

one_step_closer 07-11-2023 06:33 PM

Hope you enjoy seeing your parents, Dawn.

What are you doing, Tamo?

That's good, Beckie. Does the texture feel ok?

Zurg 07-11-2023 06:49 PM

Thanks everyone <3
The day hasn't improved but it's not the end of the world.
Probably going to go to bed early. Findus has an appointment at the vet early tomorrow morning. I hope it's a lot less serious than my head in overdrive is making it seem….
Also, i approve of warm socks!!! Cold feet is rubbish!!!!

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 06:51 PM

The texture is good thankfully!
Very comfy socks!

How rubbish zurg!
Hope findus is ok, let us know how you both get on!

long road 07-11-2023 08:32 PM

Bed sounds a good plan Zurg! Hope Findus is ok and vet appointment isn't too expensive.

Yay for cosy toes Beckie!

My fidget toys I ordered have arrived this evening which is nice but in general not doing so great.

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 09:25 PM

I hope you had a good time insig

Yay for warm feet.

Hope the bunny is OK.

My mum visited me after dinner and brought me chai latte and a gingerbread muffin. And I've been socialising but the new guy is causing trouble.

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 09:43 PM

There's a new guy on the ward, he's so full of bull. I get that he's unwell but that doesn't mean he has to be an arrogant ****.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 09:49 PM

Some people are just d*cks, mental illness or not!

tamobhuuta 07-11-2023 09:52 PM

It's like suddenly the conversation is all about him.

Cacoethes 07-11-2023 10:08 PM

Ugh. Hate those people.
Had one of those in my last hospital.
I just ended up totally blanking her or acting obviously disinterested.
She used to 'one up' people as well. So annoying

Cacoethes 08-11-2023 06:57 AM

Morning everyone

Zurg 08-11-2023 08:09 AM

Morning Beckie :)
Did you sleep well???

Bun bun and i are ready!!!! The mission to put him in his transportation bag is a gravely, dangerous one but we shall proceed with caution, trap the bunny and run for the hills!!! (okay, for the vet….)

Cacoethes 08-11-2023 08:25 AM

Morning!

It was one of those nights where I'm not sure if i did or not!
Was up at about 6am, which is a lie in for me so that's good!

He will be plotting your demise for sure!
Be afraid, be very afraid!

long road 08-11-2023 09:24 AM

Morning Beckie and Zurg,

I hope bunny transportation is uneventful.

And tha your appointment(s) go ok Beckie.

I just ate the free sample of muesli we randomly got with our click and collect order. It was good but not good enough I will buy any.

Cacoethes 08-11-2023 09:25 AM

Thanks jen

I love a bit of muesli!
At least it was free!

long road 08-11-2023 09:27 AM

I think the fact it was free made it better.

When I can summon the energy to get off the sofa I am going to make coffee and maybe some fruit toast.

Cacoethes 08-11-2023 09:34 AM

Free stuff is always good!

Fruit toast will give you energy!

long road 08-11-2023 09:47 AM

So true and fruit toast is delicious... To the kitchen!

Cacoethes 08-11-2023 09:49 AM

Yaaasss

long road 08-11-2023 10:04 AM

Have fruit toast and coffee. Life is good!

not_so_insig 08-11-2023 10:25 AM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 08-11-2023 10:31 AM

Morning.

Yay for fruit toast!

Zurg 08-11-2023 10:49 AM

I need to Google this fruit toast thing!!! You make it sound very delish.

Findus and i have returned from the vet. I am currently in bad standing with his bunny highness and also financially ruined for the rest of the month. Could be worse though. Though not a lot worse. This is pretty rubbish :(
Being poor is a bummer!!!

long road 08-11-2023 11:02 AM

Hi Tamo and Dawn!

You might have better luck googling fruit loaf Zurg, but it is delish. Basically sliced bread with fruit in it that is best eaten toasted kind of like a loaf version of a teacake.

Being poor sucks. How is Findus other than bein guoswt at being captured?
