Morning everyone, sending good day wishes.

Glad you don't have covid, Dawn.

Good luck with your ward round, Tamo.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 11:23 AM

Hey lindsay!
How are you?

one_step_closer 23-10-2023 11:28 AM

Really awful. Sorry.

I've never heard of cocaine bear.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 11:33 AM

Why are you sorry?

It's based on a true story as in, a bear got into a load of cocaine.
But they've made a film about it, but not a serious film. Kinda sharknado bad on purpose type film.

long road 23-10-2023 11:46 AM

Good luck with ward round Tamo.

You don't have to be sorry about how you feel Lindsay. Sending hugs if you would like them.

I just showered and got dressed. I was hoping it would help me feel less blargh. Alas I still feel blargh (blaiming the head injury for this) but it does feel nice to be clean and in fresh clothes

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 11:53 AM

Sorry to hear that jen!
Clean is a nice feeling though

not_so_insig 23-10-2023 12:03 PM

Thanks Lindsay.

long road 23-10-2023 12:16 PM

Headache and dizziness got worse post shower so have taken my prescription painkillers. So I may disappear for a bit. For now I am on the sofa surrounded by cushions and covered in a blanket. And watching celebrity MasterChef

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 12:19 PM

Rest up jen!

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 12:40 PM

Sorry people aren't feeling well. Hugs all round.

I'm hoping my soup cools down so I can eat/drink it before my ward rounds.

long road 23-10-2023 12:44 PM

I am trying to rest Beckie.

Thanks for hugs Tamo.

I never know if soup is a food or a drink. I guess if it's smooth it's more of a drink and if it has chunks it's more of a food.

What kind of soup are you having today Tamo?

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 12:46 PM

Carrot and coriander. It has chunks so is it food?

long road 23-10-2023 01:00 PM

I mean most people would say soup is always food. Just sometimes drinkable food. But yes chunks makes it food in my opinion. Chunks in carrot coriander is an interesting culinary choice though.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 01:11 PM

I was randomly craving carrot and coriander soup yesterday

long road 23-10-2023 01:27 PM

I got tired and came to bed.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 01:58 PM

Carrot and coriander in a tin is usually without chunks.

I had ward rounds, looks like I'm here another week.

one_step_closer 23-10-2023 03:49 PM

I don't think I've ever had carrot and coriander soup.

I prefer chunky soup to smooth soup.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 03:56 PM

I like both, in their place.

long road 23-10-2023 03:59 PM

Didn't nap but am cosy in bed

If the soup is tinned I prefer smooth. If it's home made then chunky.

Also I have fruit toast and tea as an afternoon snack. It is top tier

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 04:00 PM

Have to leave for work soon :'(

long road 23-10-2023 04:05 PM

Sad times.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 04:12 PM

Sounds yum lr.

Hope work isn't too bad Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 04:47 PM

Thanks
Should be ok
Monday night!

tamobhuuta 23-10-2023 04:56 PM

I'm cold! I've got a jumper dress, a jumper, a hot water bottle and a blanket.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 04:57 PM

It is rather chilly!

long road 23-10-2023 05:40 PM

I have made a nest in my bed I have many pillows, cuddly animals, a duvet and blankets. The world is definitely getting cold now!

not_so_insig 23-10-2023 06:15 PM

I had tesco before. I felt awful when putting the shopping away so it took twice as long to put things away as I had to have lots of rests. Thankfully I had no frozen items and managed to get the fridge stuff in quite quickly. Still have the Pepsi cans to put away but they can wait. I had to move a very heavy sack of cat litter from my store cupboard to the kitchen which was twice as hard as it normally is.

I don't know what I am having for tea yet. Is it acceptable to order from Just Eat?

long road 23-10-2023 06:28 PM

Always acceptable to order a takeaway if you aren't feeling 100%

not_so_insig 23-10-2023 06:43 PM

Thanks Jen.

long road 23-10-2023 06:56 PM

I am watching The Hunger games. Saw a clip on you tube shorts and just fancied watching it again.

Cacoethes 23-10-2023 10:20 PM

Finished early :-D
Apparently there is a benefit to actually doing work at work, because i was sent home because it was dead and i worked all shift, unlike the other person on bar XD

long road 24-10-2023 05:32 AM

Morning!

Funny that if you work hard it gets recognised XD

not_so_insig 24-10-2023 07:17 AM

Morning all.

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 07:22 AM

Morning guys!
How are you both?

Indeed jen!
It is nice to have my hard work acknowledged tbh!

not_so_insig 24-10-2023 07:35 AM

Apart from a terrible night sleep due to my cold I am ok.thanks Beckie. My cold symptoms are better today so far however. Feel less rotten today so far.

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 07:48 AM

Glad you're feeling better

I'm fine thanks

not_so_insig 24-10-2023 07:50 AM

Thanks Beckie. Glad you're ok. Any plans for today?

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 07:57 AM

Gym, cpn and cardiology appointment.
So not too much!
The cpn is only a phone call luckily!

How about you?

not_so_insig 24-10-2023 08:35 AM

I have amazon coming plus my cpn. Unfortunately it's not a phone call as she's coming to do my depot. Maybe yodel as I am expecting them tomorrow if they dont come today.

Elmer 24-10-2023 08:46 AM

Morning :)

I hope that everyone has a good day and that all appointments go well.

I am in the waiting room for my cardiology thingy, I did not enjoy getting out of bed this morning. And I have to do it again tomorrow to give the cardiology thingy back. I need someone to invent teleportation please

long road 24-10-2023 08:50 AM

I took paracetamol and then fell back asleep.

Had some very weird dreams

Good luck with appointments everyone

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 08:59 AM

Hey lio!

Thank you!

Ooh we have matching cardiology appointments!
Teleportation would be amazing tbh
Do yiu have to travel far?

Thanks jen!
Weird dreams can be unnerving

Elmer 24-10-2023 09:06 AM

I also had weird dreams Jen, maybe there's something in the air

Haha Beckie, cardiology twins :') hope you don't have to go too far for your appointment

The hospital is relatively close by car but by bus it takes about an hour to get here which is irritating. I also didn't trust myself not to get lost and I worry a lot about the buses being late/non existent so I was very early, although it's now five minutes after my appointment time so that's helpful.

long road 24-10-2023 09:19 AM

Weird dreams are a regular occurrence for me. Last night's were extra odd though.

Weird dreams run in the family my Dad has some really odd ones including being made to use cats to repair a roof by a load of nuns.

Gah to inefficient buses Lio

Elmer 24-10-2023 10:05 AM

I hope the dream cats were OK!

I'm in Costa now, about to try to catch up with uni.

long road 24-10-2023 10:35 AM

The dreams cats were fine they showed my Dad in no uncertain terms that they would not be messed with and then he woke up.

Hope appointment went ok Lio. Jealous that you ar win Costa. What exciting drink did you get? I did just have a pretty good coffee I made myself though (using my aeropress with my fancy 100% arabica ground coffee)

Iam watching hunger games 2 (catching fire)

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 10:39 AM

L is driving me, so only a 20-25 minute drive.
Idk how I'm getting back. I think she'll probably pick me up.
I may be visiting a friend also, she's on a ward in the same hospital, need to message and ask if she's still there! Haven't seen her since before covid!

Better to be early than late! I do the same thing.

Enjoy costa!

There's a new hunger games film coming out in November
Think it's a prequel

long road 24-10-2023 10:58 AM

Hope your appointment goes smoothly Beckie. I am glad you have L to help you out by driving you and I hope you get to visit your friend if she is still in (although for her sake I also hope she has been discharged).

Yeah it's based on the prequel she wrote a few years back. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I haven't read the book (been meaning to) but I know it's about President Snow as a young man acting as a mentor in a n early hunger games.

Cacoethes 24-10-2023 11:05 AM

Thanks!
She likely still will be in tbh.
She has a lot of complex medical problems unfortunately

Yeah, saw an ad for it, looks good!

long road 24-10-2023 11:25 AM

Bless her we both know how much being stuck in hospital is. But visits really do help!

I liked the books a lot when I first read them. And the films do a pretty good job of representing them.
