Tired, I was sleeping on a reclining chair. How are you?

Doesn't sound too comfortable!

I'm ok. Bit groggy.
Went to bed quite late

If we had stayed in the original waiting room we were going to make a little bed out of the chairs.

Were you up doing anything fun?

Waiting rooms suck

Not at all. Ended up having to call 111 option 2.
It was a whole thing
But it's fine. Just need to get some caffeine in me!

Oh dear :( do you feel any better now then? Were they helpful?

Yeah, luckily I've known the person i spoke to for many years. She used to come and see me regularly when she worked for my old cmht. So she knows me. It helped.

I'm glad to hear it :) what are you up to today?

Not a lot.
Might pop to asda.

Fun times!

Yep! My life is very exciting!

I think most lives are...

I'm chilly, despite 4 blankets.

It has been getting a lot colder recently

Autumn's coming. But a nice cup of tea has warmed me up, except my toes.

Cups of tea are good!
Time to break out the fluffy socks!

Indeed :) sometimes I think I should invest in proper slippers.

I hate slippers. Never got on with them!

I have a unicorn pair but they are quite dangerous to walk round in, they're very big.

I think most of them are quite dangerous to walk in. They can be slippy!
I should probably get slippers for when i go to hospital though. Those floors are always filthy!

The floors here aren't very clean but the floors on my local ward always look pretty good.

They mop the floors daily in the local wards but it doesn't seem to help!

Hey everyone.

Hospital floors are never clean when you see the mess they make of your socks if you're wandering around. The regular cleaner at my local psych ward is a really good guy though except he talks to me and I don't want to talk!

Yeah one of the cleaners at hospital is very chatty also! But very thorough!
And also J, another cleaner. She always remembers me and updates me about her kids and shows me pictures lol

It is nice that there are friendly staff around, sometimes the domestic staff get to know you more than the nurses.

Yes they do!

One of the staff from my usual ward keeps coming up on fb suggested friends

Have you Fb nosed on them before? That would be the explanation!

Nope!
I never look up staff on fb.

It is a very dark grey outside.

Think it's going to rain?

It's dull and cold here.

Hello everyone. I am struggling with my mh atm so that's why I have been quiet. But I have washed and dried my hair so I am a,semi functional adult.

Hi Dawn, I'm sorry you're struggling. Do whatever safe things you need to do to get through this. There's no need to post if it's difficult, but if it's helpful keep going. Well done with everything you're doing.

Lots of hugs insig. Well done on being clean :)

Thanks Lindsay. It's all related to recent events so I am hoping that once everything dies down i will be ok. Been mostly r/v about my mh.

Thanks tamobhuuta.

Greeeeeetings!

Hello Jenna how are you?

I think we've had a few drops of rain lindsay.
Just taken the recycling out and the bins are a bit wet!

I made a ready meal and dropped the entire thing on the floor....tomato sauce everywhere!! Including on me!

Helloooo jenna!
How are you?

Oh no Beckie!! I hope you have another ready meal you can have??

I'm OK thanks. Have a bigass cold which I don't have time for but trying to crack on with work regardless.

Yes i do!
I'm just freaked out because it's not what i prepared myself to have :eyeroll:

Oh no! Colds are miserable.
Lemsip and fluids and rest and all that jazz!

I can understand the freak out! It will be OK though and I hope you manage to eat the alternate meal without too much distress.

Just had a rather luxurious hot chocolate which tackled at least some of the self-pity :P

Mmm hot chocolate.

Disaster Cacoethes!

Did you guys know there's a Christmas Movie Channel???

Thanks!

Oooh hot chocolate!
I very nearly got some today. I regret not getting it!

I did not know that tamo!
Is it like the really cheesy rom com movies?

Yeah. Channel 5 show 2 or 3 every day in December but I didn't know about this!

I'm not a fan of most Christmas movies.
Only really like the grinch (both live action and the more recent animated one) and muppets Christmas carol!

A whole channel tamo?? I agree with your Christmas film choices Beckie =D
Also you will just have to get hot chocolate next time :)

I hate the cheesy rom com Christmas movies.

I will have to get hot chocolate next time!
Or i could order some off amazon.
Used to get the galaxy sachets which were nice. Used to get them in hospital because they were forever running out of hot chocolate!

I think I must be hungry- just two mentions of 'cheesy' and I've stopped thinking about films and just want some cheese :P

Cheese is so good tho
I had sweet potato lasagne for dinner, which involved some cheese!
Been really getting into the vegetarian and plant based stuff lately. I think i actually prefer it to meat!

I was going to have a cheese and onion sandwich but for some reason there was mayonnaise in it :( I thought I could just pick out the onion.

Ah that's a shame

ooh, where's the sweet potato lasagne from? (was it vegan?)

That is an outrage tamo! I'm raging on your behalf.

Ikr Pi!

I'm tired and want to go to bed but have to wait to see the doctor :(
