Morning Beckie how are you?

Morning!
I'm ok thanks. You?

In pain and can't sleep. I have tesco this afternoon so I can't sleep all day.

Before you ask I have taken meds for the pain just waiting for them to kick in now.

Ah that sucks

It does.

Any plans for today Beckie?

I have my contraceptive depot. That's about it!

How about you?

Morning Dawn and Beckie :)
You guys were both early risers today.
It's bitterly cold outside and it has snowed….!!! Not enough to build an evil snow fortress but enough to make it all white and pretty.

Morning!
I'm always an early riser!

It's freezing here too!
But no snow

How are you doing?

Morning guys. It looks cold here.

Morning tamo
My weather app says -1 but feels like -6
It is very very cold!

How are you?

I'm ok thanks. Waiting for them to put up the ward rounds list. And my friend R is visiting this morning :) how about you?

Hopefully they put up the list soon. I always used to get anxious about it!
That's nice, have a good visit!

I'm ticking along. Trying to keep things under control.

Look after yourself!

I will try!

My support worker came for the first time in nearly a month and he was here about 15 minutes and then his girlfriend called because she had slipped on the snow and needed him to Pick her up and take her to the gp….. staying inside sounds much safer than venturing out!!!
I'm rubbish but i have no idea what to do about it. So i just plod along.

Sorry I fell back asleep. Would have been still asleep if it weren't for my cpn calling me. I had set my alarum clock.

The only plans I have for today is amazon and tesco. Oh and have a shower.

Oh dear!
Staying inside certainly sounds like the best idea!

Sorry to hear that. We're about for distraction, as always!

Hi Zurg, sorry about your support worker when you needed them.

Hi insig. Good luck with your tasks. How was your cpn?

I am seeing her tomorrow tamobhuuta. She just wanted to double check that it was ok to bring a student along. I said yes because 99% of the time it's ok and there's only so much they can learn being stuck behind a desk. I dont mind students.

Oh ok, that's good. On this admission there haven't been any students in ward rounds which is unusual.

That is unusual tamobhuuta.

Morning everyone!

I am actually up and have made it to the sofa. Later than I wanted but 4 hours earlier than yesterday so will take it as a win. Feeling a bit fragile though.

Sorry your support worker disappeared so quickly Zurg that sucks. Hope you can get another appointment soon.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit with R Tamo

Small wins are good jen!
Hope you start to feel better as the day goes on

Thanks Beckie.

Now you have tried all your new coffee pods which do you think is the best?

Morning everyone. Lots of chat today, I like it that way. :)

It has snowed a tiny bit here.

That's a shame your support worker had to leave, Kat. I hope you can find some safe ways to feel better. We are here for you.

Look after yourself, Beckie. We are here for you too.

Hope you get your deliveries ok, Dawn.

Good luck with your ward round, Tamo.

Well done, Jen. Good start to the day. I hope your day gets even better.

I have had my receipt from tesco. 3 substitutions and 1 unavailable item. Am going to have to reject a substitution. The unavailable item was a Christmas present (it's probably not going to be available in December hence why I ordered it now) so I have plenty of time to get it before Christmas so no big deal.

That is super organised Dawn!

Hi Lindsay!

I have managed to have breakfast and coffee so continuing on.

How are you today?

How can you be thinking about Christmas already, Dawn?! Although I did get an advent calendar from Santoro while they are doing 50% off Christmas items.

Did you have something nice for your breakfast, Jen? You always seem to have healthy but tasty food.

I'm trying to be ok.

Hi all,

I'm off work today (as a replacement day for working the upcoming weekend).

How is everyone?

Hi, Beth. Nice to see you around.

Are you doing anything good with your day off?

Pretty basic breakfast this morning Lindsay had the last of the peach and apricot special k that I got myself as a treat.

Trying to be ok is a good start Lindsay. Is there anything nice you could do for yourself to help with that?

Hello Beth! You must be enjoying seeing the sunlight!

I've never tried that kind of Special K. Are the fruits chewy?

I feel like all I do is be nice to myself. I do things to keep me busy and entertained every day. I can't think of anything different to do.

I am, I'm going to go out for a walk this afternoon but its -2 so need to wrap up cosy!!

Where are you going walking? Like a park, a forest, a beach...Definitely make sure you wrap up.

Definitely not a beach, my nearest is a 2 hour drive away!

I'll go around the big lake at the park I think.

What're you up to?

They are freeze dried / dehydrated fruits so crunchy and then they go soft in the milk.

Would doing something like going for a walk be an option for you Lindsay?

Enjoy your walk Beth but make sure you have many layers!

Hi everyone. I got some sad news from R. Someone from my prayer group has died. He was old but it's still a shock.

Sending hugs if you would like them Tamo.

Thanks lr.

Just got dressed, did my sinus rinse and put some washing on. I am on a roll!

What is everyone else up to?

Well done! I'm watching the news and eating satsumas.

Sorry to hear your sad news Tamo :(

Ooh I haven't had a satsuma in ages. Might have to buy some in next week's shop.

Is Doctors on after the news?

Sorry for your loss tamo

Thanks for your sympathies.

Yes doctors was on!

Was it a good episode Tamo?

I have been doing some drawing. Just little sketches of animals from photos.

That's good jen

I've finally dyed my hair. Just a refresh
