Showering takes a lot of energy and you don't have much to spare right now with everything going on. Well down for getting it done.

Well just taken my Olanzapine so that should help with sleeping now I am on a higher dose. Going to try and rest but a bit scared of nightmares and hearing some stuff.

Morning everyone

Morning!

It appears clock change means I now naturally wake up at 7am rather than 8am. I will not be impressed if it stays this way! But I suppose it's better than the between 5 and 7am I had when on high dose steroids so I will take it.

I got an early night in the end was asleep by 11pm.

Yeah, my wake up time has changed from 6-7 to 5 XD

Early nights are good

How are you feeling today?

Gah 5 is far too early. Makes the morning far too long!

Very mixed today mentally. Physically not bad though.

I am listening to lowborn, I hadn't really listened to them before was just aware of them and when you mentioned them yesterday it made me want to check them out. So far liking what I am hearing.

How are you? Hope your appointment today goes ok and that you aren't stuck in waiting mode yet.

It really does!
I cleaned out the boys to keep me distracted. And they are happy now :)
Wiped out now though!

Physically ok is better than nothing!

I love Lowborn!
Do you have a favourite song yet?

Thank you. I've been in waiting mode since i got up XD
I'm just feeling tired and stressed and also restless!

Happy Guinea pigs. Does sound a nice way to start the morning though.

I think my favourite so far is Reckless.

I get you I was like that yesterday. Any distractions that are relatively low energy you can try?

It is!

That's one of my favourites too

Not really. Listening to music currently.
Considering aldi.

Music is good.

Aldi cos you need stuff or just for something to do?

I have just made apple sultana and cinnamon porridge from scratch. Just fancied something hot and went with the vibe. It's a very autumnal breakfast!

Both really.
I don't need anything desperately, but the boys need salad a lot so doesn't hurt to keep a bit of a stock.

Ooh yummy!

Anything you could pick up for yourself in Aldi?

It was rather delicious if I say so myself. Now drinking coffee and contemplating my day. I should be video calling with a friend of mine this afternoon which will be good. But have no other plans.

Nah.

L is coming over now. I said we could be unmotivated together!

Sometimes it's nice to not have lots of plans. Especially if you're not feeling 100%

Aww unmotivated together sounds so cute somehow!

Yeah I think I don't want too much on today. Although I just remembered I have roleplaying tonight. Think it's pathfinder week.

Morning everyone. I was out and got absolutely soaked.

Hope good things happen for you all today, even just one little thing.

Oh dear Lindsay that seems to have happened to you a lot recently! Silly rain!

Good afternoon all. My shoulders and neck are really sore. I've.found a seated position that's not too bad but moving is hard. Well done for your mornings.

Good things have not happened
My appointment was very much no bueno

I saw your post. If you can, go voluntarily. Sorryy, serious bit over.

Thank you <3

Sending hugs your way Beckie

The paracetamol didn't help my owies so I've asked for ibuprofen but I'm not written up for that so the nurse has to wait for the doctor. So I've got my hot water bottle in the meantime.

Eurgh one of the most annoying things about hospital waiting for a medication you normally take to be prescribed.

I just had a very nice cup of biscuit tea.

You can get through anything, Beckie. <3

I hope you are in less pain soon, Tamo.

Does biscuit tea taste like tea?

It tastes like tea but more like a malted milk biscuit dunked in tea.

Should be roleplaying this evening which will hopefully be a good distraction

Afternoon all. Sorry I haven't posted before had an awful night's sleep and didn't wake up until past 2 pm. Then I had an awful time coughing wise so couldn't really post. Thankfully it's stopped for now and because it's bin day had to put my recycling boxes out. Watched classic Coronation Street and had a shower. Plus did a load of laundry.

What's going on in your roleplaying world, Jen?

Well done for what you've managed, Dawn. I continue to hope you feel better soon.

I didn't get to roleplay in the end as FND kicked off. But at moment our characters are going to clear out a magic tower that has been taken over by evil creatures allied with demons. And we need to clear it out so the magic that helps the land prosper can be turned back on

Morning everyone

Morning Beckie!

Once again I wake up at 7am. At this point rI could start setting a clock by myself!

Morning!
I woke up at 5am again so same!

How're you doing?

Ended up going back to bed as was feeling really dizzy and disorientated. Had a few seizures and then slept until just now.

Good afternoon all. Sorry you're not feeling great lr. I think I stole both your sleeps.

My sister came with my dad to see me which was a nice surprise. My shoulders and neck are still hurting though, which isn't good.

If that means you got a good sleep I am happy for you Tamo.

Yay for nice visits.
Can you try your hot water bottle on your neck /shoulders to help with pain?

Good afternoon peeps!

Yeah I strapped my hot water bottle on. Now with two lots of pain killers the pain is manageable and I've been able to take it off, see how that goes.

Afternoon all. I have been playing with my new but secondhand record player that came this morning. My mum came to visit but I am still coughing tons. My bin has been emptied after 9 weeks of the bin men being in strike which is good. Last time I checked they hadn't done the recycling.

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been about. Was rushing around all day because of having to go to the gym earlier then do my discharge paperwork which took forever plus my support worker went to my house first because she forgot she was meeting me after the gym. I'm a bit anxious about my messed up routine.

Sounds busy and stressful lindsay!
Hopefully you can wind down now!

Didn't have time to hoover and still working my way through my initial internetting.

How are you getting on?

I'm ok.
Heading off to taekwondo soon.
Even though it's windy, cold and raining!

That sounds very off-putting. Would it not be better to just try and stay in?

I would like to tbh!
But it is too late to change plans.
Weird, i know!

I hope you get on ok and have a good rest afterwards.

IT'S SO COLD!!!!

Maybe if you wore a nice warm jacket it wouldn't be too bad. :tongue2:

You know I'm always going to go on about it!

*waves*

I knew that would come up XD

It was a small class today! For obvious reasons!
But glad i went.
Even though it's frickin freezing and windy and wet!

Hello jen!

Hi, Jen.

Is it storm C (can't spell the name) that is causing the weather with you Beckie or just general November weather?

I think it's the storm.
This is certainly not normal! Veerrry windy!
I took an umbrella for some reason. There would have been no point trying to use it!

There's a rumour they're not doing meds until after supper, which hasn't started yet.
