I had nice visits from Mum and L and did some good work on my present for my godmother. What about you osc?

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 08:54 PM

Can we help Beckie?

In terms of me, I've posted on my thread.

Tamo: What is it you're making?

Cacoethes 14-12-2023 08:58 PM

Glad you had nice visits tamo

It's nothing bad beth, just a general can't really retain information and my brain feels fuzzy
But I'm gonna go to the shops and hope it clears!

I'll have a go at catching up beth. Hope you're ok

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 08:59 PM

What're you fancying from the shops? :)

tamobhuuta 14-12-2023 09:15 PM

Ahimsa: a triptych ie 3 pictures in 1

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 09:16 PM

ooh that sounds cool, are you drawing it? Or is it photos?

tamobhuuta 14-12-2023 09:44 PM

Painting on wood

Cacoethes 14-12-2023 10:24 PM

Got a few bits!
And milk for coffee, which is obviously essential

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 10:30 PM

Yay well done Beckie :)

Cacoethes 14-12-2023 10:52 PM

Thank you!

How's your evening going?

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 10:54 PM

Well, The Miniatures (my two younger cats) are asleep on my feet, so I haven't been able to move for the past hour :p

Cacoethes 14-12-2023 11:13 PM

That is a predicament!
It's illegal to move a sleeping animal :tongue2:

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 11:16 PM

Especially a sleeping cat. I even checked with people from work, clinical people! They agree!

Cacoethes 14-12-2023 11:20 PM

Well, they would know what they're talking about!
It's official!

Ahimsa 14-12-2023 11:22 PM

Exactly. They learn it at Vet School and Vet Nurse School.

Morning!

I had an asthma attack last night. Got to stay home but did have to call paramedics for stronger meds. I am about to do battle with GP phones to check in and hopefully not get sent back to hospital.

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 09:54 AM

Morning!

Fingers crossed for you jen

Zurg 15-12-2023 10:06 AM

Morning Jen and Beckie :)
Hope you get to stay at home, Jen. Crossing my fingers!!!
I hope you can relax a bit today, Beckie. Though upon getting home, the first few days always Seem rather busy, i find. Lots of yummy coffee and noms will get you through it!!! :)
I am waiting to see if my support worker shows up in half an hour. He texted a few days ago to ask if i have time today but my phone has sneakily told me that he has not read my reply, only recieved it. Men!!!! *eye roll*

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 10:26 AM

Morning zurg!

I don't actually have anything on today really.
Apart from probably seeing crisis at some point. Did all my unpacking yesterday and my neighbour cleaned the house before i got back

Ugh! That's annoying! Oh well, it'll be a surprise! XD

long road 15-12-2023 11:31 AM

Morning Beckie and Zurg!

I spoke to my GP and he said while I am still ill things appear to be slightly better than Wednesday, so he doesn't think I need to be in hospital roght niw and i agreed with him. We are going to see how today goes and if I start feeling worse then to get back in touch with them or call 999 as appropriate.

Which means more fun hang out time with my brother! I have already had yummy coffee and my brother just got up.

Did your support worker turn up Zurg? I hate it when people don't confirm appointments!

Hope if you see crisis it's good people Beckie. Well done for having unpacked already!

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 11:39 AM

That's good news jen!
Tell your brother a random Internet person says hi XD

It's my favourite crisis dude today.
Haven't actually seen him in ages but spoken to him. Known him for years.

I usually always leave hospital unpacking for days! Idk why because i unpack immediately with everything else. So was determined not to do that this time!

one_step_closer 15-12-2023 12:45 PM

Morning everyone.

I hope you get to have a nice day with your brother, Jen.

I love unpacking when I get back from hospital for some reason.

I hope your support worker showed up and was helpful, Kat.

I was walking and the weather was making my eyes water so I was rubbing them and this old man said the usual 'cheer up it might never happen' thing which people should really not do any more. I said something under my breath when he passed which wasn't 'thank you that is really helpful.' !!!

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 01:29 PM

Morning lindsay
How are you?

If i man says that to me, i usually end up saying something like 'my dad just died' and watch them squirm.

tamobhuuta 15-12-2023 03:32 PM

Hi guys. I finished the triptych!

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 03:36 PM

excellent!

nonperson 15-12-2023 03:46 PM

Hello all.

How's everyone this afternoon?

What're you going to do with your triptych now, tamo?

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 03:49 PM

Np! Hellooo!

I'm ok.
How're you?

tamobhuuta 15-12-2023 03:53 PM

It's a Christmas present for my godmother np, I need to seal it and wrap it.

one_step_closer 15-12-2023 05:00 PM

Well done, Tamo! That's a lovely present for your godmother.

Hi, NP. How are things with you?

How is your day going, Beckie?

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 05:16 PM

Pretty uneventful here lindsay!
How about you?

nonperson 15-12-2023 05:32 PM

Helloooo Beckie! And everyone else.

That's nice it's a Christmas present, tamo. I hope your godmother will like it.

I'm trying to be calm but having last minute work and social panic so... argh! >.<

long road 15-12-2023 05:55 PM

NP! Hellooooo!

I have just come back from the seaside. We went and had a late lunch in our favourite cafe on the seafront, me, my partner and my brother and then I sat in car watching the waves while my brother explored the beach a bit. Lungs are complaining a bit now partly because I did stuff but mainly because there was smoke in the air when we got out of the car to come back into the flat. I think I may have got them to calm down though.

Tired and ill but happy.

nonperson 15-12-2023 05:56 PM

Helloooo Jen.

I bet it's nice to have the seaside nearby.

tamobhuuta 15-12-2023 06:25 PM

I'm glad you had a good time lr.

I hope you're feeling better np.

one_step_closer 15-12-2023 07:25 PM

I hope you can relax a bit, NP.

I'm glad you had a nice time, Jen. Take care of yourself.

nonperson 15-12-2023 07:26 PM

Thanks but not yet... =/ It's getting a bit worse tbh. Tonight's social thing starts in 1.5 hours ish...!

one_step_closer 15-12-2023 07:28 PM

Do you think you'll feel a bit better once you get there? Do you have to stay for long? Waiting is very anxiety provoking.

nonperson 15-12-2023 07:30 PM

Yeah I do want to go and hope it will be fine when I get there. I don't have to stay for any particular amount of time, but it will probably be a late one. Waiting is definitely the worst part!

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 07:31 PM

I hope the social thing is good np! Waiting definitely the worst part!

Yay for seaside jen!

nonperson 15-12-2023 08:26 PM

Thanks. I feel a bit more chilled now but there are added complications with the people that are going and a conversation about a certain thing is likely to come up that I don't really want to talk about.

Ahimsa 15-12-2023 08:33 PM

evening all

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 08:36 PM

Hopefully you're just over thinking it np!
Good luck and enjoy yourself!

Hey beth!
How are you?

Ahimsa 15-12-2023 08:43 PM

I'm actually okay, I had a super lovely day, lunch and a proper proper chat with my friend with no 'needing to leave by x time' like we normally have and not just on the way to a show (we're both performers). And then I've been to a Yin yoga class tonight, my Chinese food is on its way, my candles are lit and I'm under a blanket.

I'm super chill :)

How're you Beckie?

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 08:54 PM

Sounds like an excellent day beth!
You deserve a break :)

I'm ok
Same old over here!

Ahimsa 15-12-2023 09:15 PM

Are you warm and cosy? how's your evening going?

tamobhuuta 15-12-2023 09:20 PM

Hope everyone's evening is going OK.

Ahimsa 15-12-2023 09:23 PM

Hey Tamo!

tamobhuuta 15-12-2023 10:00 PM

Hi Ahimsa :) are you enjoying the cosy? I'm watching a cheesy Christmas film.

Cacoethes 15-12-2023 10:16 PM

I am!
It has been oddly warm today anyway. Has here anyway!

Cacoethes 16-12-2023 09:28 AM

Morning everyone
