Beth, you are doing great with your tasks as always! Annoying about the ADHD team though.

Hi, Lio! What is your textbook?

Maii, I hope you can get out today. I find it's usually helpful not to be inside all the time.

How are your days going Tamo and Beckie?

not_so_insig 18-12-2023 04:53 PM

Hello all. I have had tesco shopping order before. I have cheese.

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 04:56 PM

Not too bad thanks lindsay
Got some stuff done!
How about you?

Ahimsa 18-12-2023 04:57 PM

I'm annoyed at how dark it is. Because of my shifts and the fact the office has no windows, I've not seen daylight today and I won't until Thursday.

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 05:13 PM

That's so depressing beth!
Maybe you should get one of those sunlight lamps?
Not a substitute, but might help!

Ahimsa 18-12-2023 05:26 PM

I wouldn't be able to use it in the office though, so it would either be at 6am or 6pm that I'd be able to use it.

tamobhuuta 18-12-2023 05:27 PM

My day is OK, my godmother visited.

Ahimsa 18-12-2023 05:55 PM

Oh yay, that's good Tamo

Yay cheese!! What type of cheese?

not_so_insig 18-12-2023 06:33 PM

I have lots of different cheese but includes brie, Wensleydale with cranberries and Stilton. Already have cheddar.

maii 18-12-2023 06:40 PM

I'll try to get out today one_step_closer. Today its raining but that doesn't necessarily bother me, but I fear being in pubic this time of year and my safety seeing all the hate toward LGBT people; but you're right being stuck inside isn't good for my mental health.

I miss Feta cheese in salad but I don't have good teeth anymore ROF. Do you folks know of any good recipes other than just putting it in salad?

I'll go for a walk tonight as the rain will stop but I feel like I'm a walk corpse cadaver as of late.

Again, I'll try and hope everyone is getting along ok .

maii 18-12-2023 06:43 PM

Great to hear that your godmother visited you, tomo.

maii 18-12-2023 06:44 PM

Its also dark here, Ahimsa :(

Zurg 18-12-2023 07:00 PM

Evening all :)
Sorry for disappearing. Had to catch a bus to visit a friend. Then i was naive enough to assume that getting a bus back would be piece of cake while i totally underestimated rush hour and its insane effect on the speed of traffic….. Took me almost two hours to get home. Findus is very cross with me. Delayed dinner AND i came back smelling of kitty cat AND ponies!!!!! O_O

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 07:15 PM

Oh no zurg!
I have to travel during rush hour tomorrow morning and I'm very much not looking forward to it!
A train towards central london at 7am is not a vibe. Thankfully not going into london itself!
And I'll probably hit end of the day rush hour on the bus back from my second hospital appointment tomorrow. Ugh!

I'm sure findus will forgive you, with time and veggies!

one_step_closer 18-12-2023 07:18 PM

Wensleydale with cranberries is my favourite cheese.

I would hate to not see light. That's really rubbish, Beth. :(

I'm glad your day has been ok Tamo and that you had a visit.

I know no feta cheese recipes. Don't know if I've even had feta cheese before.

Did you at least have a nice time with your friend, Kat?

Good luck with tomorrow, Beckie.

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 08:35 PM

Thanks lindsay!
What have you been up to today?

long road 18-12-2023 08:52 PM

I escaped! Just got discharged and am driving home

tamobhuuta 18-12-2023 08:53 PM

I've been told meds is at 8 so I'm sitting waiting.

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 08:55 PM

Good news jen!

Not long now tamo

tamobhuuta 18-12-2023 09:09 PM

They haven't come yet :(

tamobhuuta 18-12-2023 09:17 PM

The nurse has come, she's just gone to get the charts.

Cacoethes 18-12-2023 09:18 PM

They still use paper charts??

tamobhuuta 18-12-2023 09:35 PM

Yes! Is that not normal?

Ahimsa 18-12-2023 10:32 PM

Everything is paper here too.

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 07:32 AM

It's all on computer here now.
Apparently it's a lot easier.
Unless the wifi goes down, then they have to get the charts printed off.

Morning everyone

nonperson 19-12-2023 08:51 AM

Morning guys.

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 08:52 AM

Hey np!
How are you?

long road 19-12-2023 09:04 AM

Morning Beckie and NP!

nonperson 19-12-2023 09:06 AM

Hey Beckie. I'm a bit tired and staying in Cornwall for a couple of days so got to be sociable and stuff.

How're you?

nonperson 19-12-2023 09:06 AM

Morning ninja Jen! How're you?

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 09:19 AM

Morning jen!
How are you?

Being sociable is exhausting

I am also tired!
But thankfully managed to get a seat on both the train and the bus.
Managed to locate cardiology after getting lost in the basement. Which i always seem to do at this particular hospital.

nonperson 19-12-2023 09:22 AM

Hospitals are terrible to navigate. Good you got out of the basement eventually!

I need to get out of bed...

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 10:01 AM

There should be a hospital sat nav app for each hospital

Probably should!

It's very wet here

long road 19-12-2023 11:02 AM

The problem with hospital sat nav is you probably wouldn't have enough signal inside the hospital to use it XD

I am sort of ok. Breathing still isn't great but I am currently well enough to stay at home which is a win. I have a few admin bits / appointments on today getting a crash mat delivery, a call from a respiratory nurse at some point and possibly the CMHT calling (they said last week they would call me back early this week). None of these things have a time window which means it's hard to settle to anything right now. Am also trying really hard not to zoom but have already put a wash on that I wasn't planning on doing.

Next bit on morning routine is breathing exercises, then coffee, then maybe grabbing a shower.

NP you are near me ISH if you are in Cornwall! How exciting!

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 11:22 AM

Signal is fine in my local hospitals! And if not, there's always free wifi!

Sounds like a busy day jen!
At least with no set times, you can't really go into a proper waiting mode!

I'm home from my first appointment and have a few hours before I need to bus to my next appointment.

one_step_closer 19-12-2023 11:52 AM

Morning everyone.

What on earth are you going to do for a few hours, Beckie?! I think you should invent hospital sat nav, like an app.

I hope you enjoy Cornwall NP and it's not too much socialising for you.

Hope you can settle today Jen and all your things go well.

It's my birthday. Got my RYL email although it went to my junk folder! Going to Costa with my gym friends for our Christmas treat although I feel a bit self judgemental because I haven't been to the actual gym for ages.

nonperson 19-12-2023 11:55 AM

Happy birthday Lindsay!!

And that is exciting, Jen!

one_step_closer 19-12-2023 11:58 AM

Thanks, NP.

I've just eaten some birthday cake flavoured popcorn.

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 12:14 PM

I'm watching muppets treasure Island currently!

Happy birthday lindsay!
Birthday cake flavoured popcorn sounds interesting!

one_step_closer 19-12-2023 12:18 PM

Thank you.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen that. How many muppets films are there?

The popcorn mostly just tastes of vanilla.

long road 19-12-2023 12:22 PM

It is true I can't go into waiting mode but it also means that I am nervous of doing things such as going for a shower! Crash mat has been delivered. Just phone calls at some point.

Hope socialising isn't too exhausting NP and I am glad my proximity is exciting to you too!

Happy Birthday Lindsay! I am intrigued by birthday cake flavoured popcorn.Hope you enjoy your Costa.

Muppets treasure island is a great film.

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 12:26 PM

I think there are quite a few muppet films
Treasure Island has tim curry in it, which is probably why it's my favourite!

Hopefully they phone soon!

not_so_insig 19-12-2023 01:13 PM

Happy birthday Lindsay!

I feel ill. :angry: . Doesn't help that I had a terrible night's sleep then my cpn decided to phone me up at 9 am.

tamobhuuta 19-12-2023 02:43 PM

Happy birthday osc!

long road 19-12-2023 02:59 PM

Sorry to hear you are feeling ill Dawn. Hope you can get some decent sleep tonight.

I am still pretty ill myself just not hospital ill any more thankfully!

Hey Tamo! How is your day going?

maii 19-12-2023 03:10 PM

Good morning all, I'm somewhat alert after a rough nights sleep.


I'm sorry you're breathing still isn't great, long road, I hope that starts to improve.



Happy Birthday, one_step_closer.

maii 19-12-2023 03:11 PM

Sorry to hear you're feeling down, not_so_insig. rough nights sleep makes for rough going, for sure :(

Cacoethes 19-12-2023 03:29 PM

I have an hour until my appointment
Just chilling in the cafe

not_so_insig 19-12-2023 03:30 PM

Thanks Jen and maii.

Maii you can call me Dawn or insig whichever is easiest for you.
