The week I work the weekend (1 in 4) is always long, because I have to do a 6 day week :(

Cacoethes 21-04-2024 07:40 PM

That's a long old week!

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 07:49 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 08:21 AM

Morning people, morning Cacoethes. How are you?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 08:40 AM

I'm ok thanks. You?

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 10:58 AM

Morning all. I have had 3 postcards today including one from the Ukraine. I am sitting here bored to death.

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 11:05 AM

Morning

Being bored sucks.
Can you go out for something to do? Go and get a coffee?

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 11:28 AM

I have the tesco man coming today so I can't go to the city centre for a coffee. There is no coffee shops within walking distance. Tesco was quite good today only 1 substitution and zero unavailable items. I got my free item which is also good.

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 11:32 AM

I'm ok, I've been to Mass, going to see my spiritual director this afternoon. I try to do exercise and wash my hair on a Monday but I don't think I'll have time to do both, it's quite far to the convent.

Sorry you're bored insig. I think going for coffee sounds nice.

What are you up to Cacoethes?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 11:50 AM

What kind of things do you talk about tamo?

Not a lot really.
Cleaned out the piggos, had a shower, leaving for psych appointment in a bit and may see E later. TBC.

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 11:52 AM

I hope your appointment goes well.

We talk about my life, with a focus on my prayer and spiritual life.

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 12:15 PM

Thank you

I hope it's helpful :)

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 12:34 PM

Thanks :)

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 12:38 PM

The psychologist said she would email me at 12pm, I wish she'd just said "at some point" I hate waiting!!!

one_step_closer 22-04-2024 12:43 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope you get your email soon, Tamo.

Hope your appointment goes well, Beckie and you have a good day.

Have you found something to do yet, Dawn?

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 12:45 PM

Hi osc, how are you?

Ahimsa 22-04-2024 12:50 PM

Yay for free things with Tesco!!

How is everyone? The weather is awful!

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 12:52 PM

We've got sunshine! I'm good thanks, how are you Ahimsa?

Ahimsa 22-04-2024 12:53 PM

Sunshine?! It's chucking it down here (obviously, because I'm not at work. It was lovely all weekend when I was working!)

I'm okay, my back is painful today and I've just had a meeting with my case worker which is emotionally draining.

How're you Tamo?

one_step_closer 22-04-2024 12:55 PM

I'm annoyed with myself because I didn't make it out of bed on time to go to the walking group.

No rain here but it's very dull. Will probably end up raining at some point though as it usually does.

Will you be able to do some nice things with the rest of your day, Beth?

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 01:04 PM

I fell back asleep so feeling less bored now. I am just doing random internetting until it's time for the tesco man. They usually come quite late in the hour to me.

Also no rain here atm. It's bright but not sunny.

Ahimsa 22-04-2024 01:07 PM

Sounds like you needed the rest through!

I need to catch up on all my washing etc as it's back to work tomorrow, you only get 1 day off after working the weekend. I need uniform for tomorrow.

What're you up to?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 02:43 PM

Appointment was fine thanks
Lasted 8 minutes and don't have to see her for 2 weeks now :)
Came home via asda
Tired now for some reason!

It's raining here but not heavily, thankfully!

That's a shame lindsay. Hopefully next week!

Heya beth!
Do you have a lot of washing to do?

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 02:54 PM

Tesco man has been. Now the horrible task of putting everything away.

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 03:57 PM

I'm glad the appointment went OK Cacoethes.

I hope the putting away wasn't too bad insig.

How's the washing going Ahimsa?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 04:03 PM

Thanks tamo

I quite like putting shopping away! Very rare that I can get a delivery but I used to find it quite satisfying that the fridge/freezer/cupboards were stocked up and I was good for groceries for a while!

How was your meeting tamo?

one_step_closer 22-04-2024 04:24 PM

Hope you don't have too much washing to do, Beth.

Glad your appointment went ok, Beckie. I also don't mind putting shopping away.

How are you getting on, Tamo?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 05:25 PM

Thanks lindsay!

Have you been up to much today?

one_step_closer 22-04-2024 06:36 PM

I didn't really have much on my to do list today. Went to the chemist as usual, did a washing, and finished a book.

What's everyone up to this evening?

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 06:46 PM

Well done for completing your tasks :)

Not a lot. Pretty tired!

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 06:47 PM

I haven't watched doctors! But I had a good meeting with sister M.

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 06:56 PM

Can you catch up before tomorrow's episode?
Glad you had a good meeting!

tamobhuuta 22-04-2024 07:00 PM

I was planning to watch it after dinner but I'm really tired, I might just go to bed.

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 07:04 PM

Sleep is more important!
I'm really tired also

long road 22-04-2024 07:14 PM

Evening everyone!

I am still in a load of pain and had a slow start to the day because of it. Had a middle of the day nap as well.
But have managed to do my online food shop, a mindfulness meditation and have a shower. Which is more than I have achieved in a while. And while I was in shower partner changed the bed clothes so have a lovely fresh bed as well!

Bed sounds like a good idea Tamo best not to push through and end up over tired.

Saw about your tyre Beckie what bad luck and at the same time good luck as you noticed it!

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 07:30 PM

Well done for your achievements today jen!
Fresh bedding after a shower is the best!

I am glad that L noticed it! Especially as I'm planning a long drive at the weekend to go and see my nanny! 2 hours on mainly motorways so I dread to think what could have happened if my tyre burst then!

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 07:40 PM

I have put everything away now and ate my tea. Really glad that I got my fridge planner as it's made my life easier as I written down my meals for the week.

long road 22-04-2024 07:46 PM

I am very much enjoying my fresh bedding after a shower.
All the praise for L then! Hope you enjoy the drive and visit to your nanny. Driving means so much freedom, glad you are getting to enjoy it after years of not being able to!

I gave a fridge planner to Dawn! They are very useful!

Cacoethes 22-04-2024 07:51 PM

Have you got clean PJs to put on too? That's one of my favourite things in life! Shower, clean bedding, clean PJs!

I'm very lucky that L has a decent knowledge about cars!
And also that I had a weird final destination, premonition anxiety dream about my tyres the night before, which is what prompted her to check my tyres in the first place!
Was all very lucky really!
I am LOVING the freedom!
I had to walk to the cmht today and was like 'ugh'
Become so lazy already XD

not_so_insig 22-04-2024 10:17 PM

Jen I think you have typos there since I got mine from amazon not you.

Cacoethes 23-04-2024 07:26 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 23-04-2024 08:20 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 23-04-2024 08:22 AM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks
You?

tamobhuuta 23-04-2024 08:25 AM

I'm ok. A quiet day ahead. What are you up to?

Cacoethes 23-04-2024 08:43 AM

My tyres are being done today, between 8am-8pm. They'll call when they're on their way, so I'll be in waiting mode until that happens! Really annoying! But worth it!

Are you going to catch up with doctors before today's episode?

tamobhuuta 23-04-2024 09:09 AM

That's a big wait! I will have to squeeze in yesterday's episode.

Cacoethes 23-04-2024 09:13 AM

It is!
I don't have anything to do today luckily. Will be annoying being stuck in the house all day though!

That's good. Have you got anything to do today?

not_so_insig 23-04-2024 09:46 AM

I am stuck indoors all day too Beckie. I have people coming to measure my windows and door in preparation for getting new ones. It could be anytime. Hence why I am up early.

Cacoethes 23-04-2024 09:48 AM

It sucks being indoors all day!

long road 23-04-2024 10:01 AM

Morning everyone,

Being stuck inside all day indeed sucks. It happens to me all to often!

I hope the window people and the tyre people come as early as possible so you can both get on with your days Dawn and Beckie!

Today however I have been out, just finished a face to face GP appointment. Partner is in the pharmacy getting my meds.
