Wtf is wrong with these people?!
I despair

Yeah I get that!
My cpn wore gloves yesterday (when she turned up at my house unannounced at 9am :plain:)
Which was a bit weird. But I'd only just come out of isolation so I guess it made sense!

ph! screw unannounced 9am appearances!

Ikr! So rude!
Luckily I'm usually up at around 8 or earlier these days!

as a rule on;y time i am up before 9 is when I haven't gone to bed :laugh: usually lucky to get any sense out of me before 11

That's what I used to be like! Haha!
No idea why it suddenly changed!

i dont like it because i feel like i'm missing half the day, but on the other hand it's not like I have all that many appointments or whatever... I'm lucky if I get the sleep before about 3am so that's my excuse :P

That's a pretty good excuse!
I sometimes wish I could still sleep in. On days where I don't have anything going on. Otherwise the day goes soooo slowly!

they can


I used to be a really active sort of person, and never needed a whole load of sleep. Always found stuff to do and had stuff going on... now though, day just drag as although I do still have stuff going on none of it seems to keep m attention like it used to so I end up doing nothing most of the time
As much as I hated my job it's one thing I do miss about working :laugh: least I had a sense of time and something to do

Yeah I totally know what you mean.
So many years I spent doing nothing but appointments and it was sooo boring!
You just don't feel motivated to do anything!

pritty much, just constantly waiting for appointments... or worrying about what to say in appointments :laugh: I have just sorted out the laundry I intended on doing yesterday though so I guess that's something

Absolutely!

Oh that's good!
I need to put away my laundry. Ugh

Hey everyone.

I hope you've put away your laundry Beckie. Well done with sorting yours Hazel. I always do it right away so it's not on my mind and another task to add to my to do list.

So windy here. It was also raining really cold rain this afternoon which was being blown into my face.

I may be in part using it as an excuse, but I blame my ADHD :laugh: laudry has like 20 steps and doing all 20 takes me like a week... the very idea that some people do it all in one go or straight away blows my mind :P

I have another zoom meeting at 5, for 2 hours. Starting to hate zoom

What sort of laundry are you doing for it to have 20 steps? O.o

i may have pulled a number out of the eather if i'm honest...


- empty laundry backet into washing machine
- find the laundey liquid/powder which I will have inevitably lost
- read it as I will have forgotten how much is needed
- turn on washing machine
- move to dryer
- turn on drier
- empty dryer into other basket
- sort and fold
- put away




9 steps...



I am lucky if I do 2 steps in a day. I often get to the "put in drier" stage then forget about it for like 4 days meaning I need to wash it all again too... though sometimes dryer sheets can save things, depends

or I will put it in the washing machine find the washing liquid/powder, read the packet, then turn on the washer without putting it in :laugh:

My brain is fecking usless at adulting

I have not yet put away my laundry!
Though I have put the clean laundry at the bottom of the stairs to take up next time I go up!

2 hour zoom meeting?! 0_o

ye, it's for a volunteering thing. We have a 2 hour meeting each month to discuss projects and stuff

Hello all. It's brass monkeys outside. I have been to the hearing voices group.

I don't think I'd be able to concentrate for 2 hours!

I have a psychologist appointment for probably about an hour next week and I don't know how I'm going to focus on that!!!

i'll admit i do struggle with 2 hours of focus, I just try to pay attention to the bits relivent to me. THey send notes and transcripts out afterwarsds anyway

Oh that's good!

Also an hour with a psychiatrist! I am seeing one on Monday for a medication review and been told it will be 15-20 mins :/

Also yes, 17 mins into zoom and already on here on my phone :laugh:

Next week is psychologist.
But my psychiatrist appointments are usually about an hour too! Because he doesn't know when to shut up lol
I'm going to try and rush tomorrow's appointment though because it's in the middle of my shift!

Haha! Don't blame you!

I got re-referred to mental health services 17 months ago and next weeks psychiatrist appointment will be the first psych of any type I'll have seen in that time :/ last time I saw a psychiatrist is about 4 years ago and cant remember how long that appointment was to be honest

They are talking in so many circles in this zoom :laugh:

That's awful!

Oh no!

I've put washing away, showered and put the back and stand on my new mirror!

Ooo very productive!

That's all I need to do for the rest of the day!
I can relax now!
Ish

Eugh, a 2 hour meeting and still it overran...

Ish as in can't actually relax or ish as in technically still got stuff to do but meh to it all?

Ugh! Is it all over now?

Ish as in I've got a lot of stuff going on in life in general but I don't actually need to physically do anything until tomorrow!

Are, intangible stressy ish. Got ya

Not sure, I made an excuse to leave after it had gone 10mins over time :laugh:

Yep!

Ah I don't blame you!

I'm in that kinda mood where I'm half watching TV but there is nothing on that I feel like half watching. So I've just put it on a random channel

I'm half watching an old episode of taskmaster. Mainly just for sound though to be honest.

In these sorts of moods i usually binge watch simpsons ir futurama... I know every episode if both forwards, backwards, and upside down. But I like having background noise and I think my brain likes the familiarity

Taskmaster is very slowly been added to this group of background noise shows

I love taskmaster.
That's basically why I have it on. Just as background noise!
I haven't watched futurama in SO long! Used to have all the dvds!

All the episodes are on amazon prime :)

And also on my laptop hard drive

I'll have to start on it this weekend!
It's so good!

Dawn, i know you don't like getting PMs but just wanted to say re: bin collection.
Ours are still being collected a day later than normal due to the whole Christmas/new year thing. It was not advertised by the council. Only one guy on Facebook told everyone about it! All the bins got put out so no one knew! So maybe that's also happened in your area?

Morning everyone!

Hellooo.

Helllooo!
How are you?

Alrightish. Going out later to walk my friend's dog so that will probably do me good.

How're you?

That's good :)

I'm....idk

=(

At least try and enjoy work today if you can.

I will!
Got a psych appointment at 12:30. I start work at 12. Which is annoying.
I'm also suspicious about the appointment change from 3:30 to 12:30.

An earlier appointment would be less disruptive to your shift though? Gets it out of the way.

Hello people.

Yeah it would be I suppose!
And there are usually more staff on before 3 because a couple of people do 10:30-3

Hey tamo
How are you?

Morning tamo.

Good luck with your appointment. I hope you enjoy work. I am ok, had a lovely sleep but my room got very cold.

Thank you

It is incredibly cold today
