Excellent!

I just took meds early and went to bed.
And then woke up every hour :plain:

Morning!

Elmer 03-10-2023 08:20 AM

Morning!

Ooh, cheese

Sorry to hear you had a difficult night Beckie

I have a hospital appointment at 15:20 and I’m trying really hard to not go into Waiting Mode. I need to do things!

I hope everyone is doing OK this grey Tuesday

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 08:36 AM

Thanks Lio

Waiting for appointments is horrible
Doing things is definitely preferable!

I'm alive. Lol.

Elmer 03-10-2023 09:24 AM

Alive is good <3

I've showered and got dressed and deciding which module I'm going to work on, which is the very exciting update everyone needed.

Also, apologies for not having caught up, you guys were busy yesterday!

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 09:47 AM

Morning guys.

Accidentally Abstract 03-10-2023 10:00 AM

Morning all. Hope you're manging okay so far today. <3

one_step_closer 03-10-2023 10:30 AM

Morning everyone.

Good sleep is hard to get! Hope you're ok, Beckie.

I hate waiting for appointments, hope you find some things to pass the time Lio.

How are you Tamo and Luce?

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 11:11 AM

Well done Lio!

Morning tamo, Luce and lindsay!
How are we all?

I'm ok thanks lindsay. Just super tired!

one_step_closer 03-10-2023 11:26 AM

Do you have anything on today?

I'm ok. Going to the gym today. It isn't a wash hair day but I had to wash it because I ate a roll and jam in bed last night and got jam in my hair!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 11:32 AM

Not really. Did gym and went to aldi.
Meeting L for a coffee when she's on her break at 12:30
Also gonna do a mini clean out for the boys

Oh no! Jam is one of the worst things to get in your hair!
Hope the gym is ok

long road 03-10-2023 12:02 PM

*waves*

Hey everyone!

Jam in hair eek sooo sticky!

Hope you enjoy your brief visit with L Beckie

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 12:10 PM

Oh dear osc! Today is a hairwash day for me. I'm hoping they'll let me use razor etc too.

Zurg 03-10-2023 12:25 PM

Hello peeps. So many exciting things have happened during my absence!!! A haircut!!! A new and shiny hoover!!! A Guinea pig cushion!!! *squeels* :D

I hope you're all having an okay day so far.
It has been raining like the apocalypse was about to begin, here. My basement room was injured on duty and had water coming down from the roof. But it has stopped now which makes me feel it's okay to not care about it any longer!!!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 12:30 PM

Thanks jen!

Np's haircut has inspired me to get one!
So I've booked for next Saturday. Been meaning to do it for ages.

After the rain yesterday, its gone all sunny and warm again!
Meant to be really nice this weekend apparently

Elmer 03-10-2023 12:38 PM

Oh no, not hair jam Lindsay D:
That doesn't sound good Zurg!
Haircuts for everyone - I need to keep up
Hi Luce and Jen and Tamo!
It's nice here now too.

I did, in fact, enter waiting mode. Well I wrote a letter but other than that... Netflix. Oops.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 01:26 PM

It's freezing in the shade and wind. But lovely in the sun!

Writing a letter is better than nothing!
Watching anything good on Netflix?

long road 03-10-2023 02:14 PM

It is sunny but chilly here.

I had a shower. And we have changed the bed sheets.

Still ill but a lot less ill than last week.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 02:45 PM

Well done jen!

Less ill is good!

I've cleaned out the boys.
They are now very happy!

Should go and get my meds
But I'm feeling lazy. I don't actually need them until Thursday anyway

long road 03-10-2023 03:30 PM

Less ill is about as good as I get at the moment. It's been a hell of a couple of months.

Yay for happy Guinea pigs!

I guess the question is will it rain tomorrow? Because if it might going today is a good idea. But then resting and not pushing yourself is also a good idea.

I am watching Survivor the American reality TV show. They have made a British version that's coming out on the BBC at some point this year.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 03:35 PM

It's not meant to rain for the rest of the week now.
And apparently will be 18? tomorrow
I have appointment of doom so I'll be out anyway i suppose!

Don't think I've ever watched that

long road 03-10-2023 03:42 PM

That makes sense might as wel do it while you are already out. You deserve time to chill.

It's not super popular in the UK I got into it randomly during uni watching it on pirate sites. I think a friend recommended it but I don't really remember.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 03:47 PM

Thanks
I am not good at chilling XD

I know of it, not my kinda thing though!

long road 03-10-2023 03:54 PM

We need to get you a walk in fridge XD

That's fair. I am usually not a reality show person but this one has some game theory in it and just drew me in. It's not as good as it used to be though. Australian is better these days

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 03:59 PM

Hi guys. What are we up to?

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 04:07 PM

God no!
The button in the walk in fridge at work wouldn't work for like a second and i was panicking so much XD

I like the look of the one on Dave that is comedians doing survival stuff.
Forget what it's called

Hey tamo
Not up to much
You?

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 04:09 PM

Not much! Had some prn so sitting in the hub for a bit.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 04:35 PM

Just chilling?

I have fully committed to staying inside now.
Indoor clothes on including oodie and bra off XD

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 04:38 PM

I recently bought myself a wireless bra for such days. Although there are days when no bra at all is called for!

I didn't bring an oodie into hospital. Not sure how I feel.about that.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 04:42 PM

I don't like wireless bras! Don't feel like there's enough support

Depends on the temperature i guess.
Hospitals are usually warm

I have amazon coming between 6:15-8:15 pm!
Idc if i look like ****. Lol.

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 04:43 PM

I expect delivery people see people in many states!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 04:49 PM

I don't even think they register the person at all!
Literally just hand the parcel over and leg it to the next one!
Especially with amazon.
There have 100% been people in worse states, but the driver probably wouldn't notice them either!

one_step_closer 03-10-2023 04:53 PM

Amazon sometimes just put my parcels in my safe place and don't even knock on the door or put anything through the door to tell me where it is.

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 05:01 PM

Weird!
Mine always knock but are then on the way to put it in the safe place in the 0.2 seconds it takes me to get to the door XD

nonperson 03-10-2023 05:58 PM

I have Amazon coming between 6:15 and 9:15pm!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 06:08 PM

It's changed to 6-8pm now XD

In some very sad and distressing news, another nail has come off.
Leaving one hand with no nails and the other with 3 still on D:

Zurg 03-10-2023 06:39 PM

Woah, zombie hand there, Beckie o_o

I'm tired. Really bloody tired. I had a nap this afternoon. Though my naps are always interrupted a million times by my body doing weird jumps like something has scared me. And it wakes me up and it's rude!!!! >:(
I need some coffee, an adrenaline drip and lots of sweets with lots of sugar!!!! Aaaaand, i'd very much like an existence being content too, if that's not too much trouble. Ty!!! :-*

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 06:42 PM

Gel extensions, not the actual nail XD

That sounds super annoying!
An existence being content would be Amazing. Sign me up for one too!

long road 03-10-2023 06:49 PM

My body does similar sometimes Zurg.

I just had a nap. Had some weird dreams

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 06:53 PM

Good weird or unsettling weird?

long road 03-10-2023 07:16 PM

Unsettling weird unfortunately but I am getting over it slowly.

My Brain can be a troll

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 07:22 PM

Hate those dreams

Brains be like that

Amazon are nearby!
And then i will actually have to go to asda. Because i have obtained money to put on my electric meter so i don't have to worry about turning the lights on!

nonperson 03-10-2023 07:31 PM

Amazon are two stops away =o

Who's gonna get their parcel first!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 08:11 PM

I feel like we've had synced up deliveries before np!
I got mine at 7:29pm!

Accidentally Abstract 03-10-2023 08:36 PM

Hey everyone. Sorry for delayed reply from this morning. I'm okay, I started the day not brilliantly and couldn't drag myself out of bed for a few hours until I had online therapy so figured I'd better get dressed and brush my hair at least. :P Then I had a chat with my girlfriend about therapy stuff I'd talked about and that upset/worried her, then managed to do some work, but forgot about lunch and then took a weird late lunch break and went out to acquire a burrito even though I was anxious - and ended up getting it for free because their system wouldn't recognise my student voucher code. :D I've also managed to write a first attempt at the vignettes which I'm using in the book chapter I'm writing. Might try to get a bit organised in terms of my next module now, seeing as it's starting on Saturday officially. I don't feel prepared to add that in AT ALL. I also applied for a job the other day - no idea whether I should be leaving or what but hey, I'm finding my current one really hard to bear atm so.. *shrugs*

I've not had a haircut recently, but I did dye my hair. It was quite bright blue and purple before and now the top is such a dark blue that it looks black, and the tips are a dark purple which you can only see in the bright light - so quite a change but it means I don't have to faff about trying to keep bleaching my own roots, etc!

I hope everyone is having a nice evening so far - and various Amazon things have arrived. :)

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 08:40 PM

That sounds like a heavy day Luce!
Your hair sounds cool! Piiccss!!!

I'm hoping to sleep soon!

Accidentally Abstract 03-10-2023 08:48 PM

I'm not sure how happy I am posting my face here - I've not seen anyone else do that lol, and the picture board is long since dead haha... I've not got any decent pictures of just the hair and nobody to take one. :P I'm sure you'll see one on Facebook at some point!

Yeah, every bloody day seems to feel heavy and that's only going to get worse with the new module starting tbh. This time last year when it started, I basically had to work all day and study all evening most days of the week, and then study for at least one of my weekend days too... and I burnt out pretttty badly and ended up in crisis by the new year. I don't know how I made it through that module (/year), never mind with a distinction, but now I've got to repeat it on a module which is harder whilst also being more unhappy and unsettled in my job (and possibly moving jobs?) so.. yes.. this could be interesting.

I hope you manage to get some decent rest tonight Beckie!

nonperson 03-10-2023 08:51 PM

That does sound like cool hair =o

My parcel was "delivered" at 7:59 but it isn't here so... Think it might be in next door's delivery box thing but I cba to go look. It'll turn up.

tamobhuuta 03-10-2023 08:52 PM

Sweet dreams all!

Cacoethes 03-10-2023 08:54 PM

I meant on fb Luce!
Wouldn't expect you to post here!

Thanks! I hope so too!

Ah that's a shame np!
Close in times though!

Thanks tamo. You too

Accidentally Abstract 03-10-2023 09:15 PM

Thanks np - I think it was cooler before but anyway, it's fine now, looks more grunge which is in line with how I dress so whatever. Less upkeep too. I hope you manage to retrieve your parcel soon!

Sweet dreams Tamo! Hope you get some rest.

Sent you pics on FB Beckie. :P
