Thank you!
It is nice to not be in bed!

tamobhuuta 30-09-2024 07:41 PM

Anything nice for dinner?

Cacoethes 30-09-2024 07:58 PM

Sweet potato curry :)
And naan bread

Ahimsa 30-09-2024 08:00 PM

I have had a productive evening, I have tidied a big chunk of the spare room, written all my Christmas cards apart from my Secret Santa (as I don't know who it is yet) and put all my Christmas presents into gift bags.

I've got 2 people left to buy for (3 if we include Secret Santa) and a few bits I'm waiting to arrive.

tamobhuuta 30-09-2024 08:09 PM

Well done Ahimsa!

Tastey dinner Cacoethes.

I'm watching 101 Dalmatians. Why are there raccoons and a huge tub of molasses on a Suffolk farm?

Cacoethes 30-09-2024 08:24 PM

Well done beth!
Very organised!

That's a good point tamo! Never thought of that!

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 07:21 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 10:15 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 10:56 AM

Morning tamo
I'm ok thanks
Just a bit tired

How are you?

one_step_closer 01-10-2024 11:15 AM

Morning everyone.

How did you sleep, Beckie? I don't think I could sleep upright.

How are you, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 11:24 AM

I'm tired too. I saw the physio about my foot again, she was helpful.

Hi osc, how are you?

one_step_closer 01-10-2024 12:00 PM

How is your foot now? Did the physio give you some exercises to do?

I'm not sure how I am. Colouring group day though.

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 12:18 PM

It's doing much better thanks, she gave me some exercises to do. I tried them out and they made my foot a bit sore but Mum said that's to be expected.

I hope your colouring group helps with your not sure day.

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 12:30 PM

I slept OK thanks! I think I'm getting used to it

Glad the physio was helpful tamo

Hope you enjoy your group lindsay

I've just been to see if my meds are ready (they aren't) and also to the piercing shop to get all my piercings put back in! L is getting us coffee before we head home. It's peeing it down but nice to be out of the house

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 01:43 PM

Boo for meds not ready and rain
But hurrah for piercings and coffee!

My godmother is coming soon :)

Edit
Saw your rv Cacoethes. Oh noes!

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 02:03 PM

Thanks tamo!
Yeah, it is a pain, but only 3 closed up out of 15(?) Isn't too bad!

That's nice :) hope you have a nice visit!

long road 01-10-2024 02:26 PM

*waves*

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 03:22 PM

Hi lr how are you?

I had a good time with my godmother, she brought Costa and a birthday present and some flowers :)

long road 01-10-2024 03:42 PM

Still feeling a bit mentally wobbly after therapy yesterday and quite tired. Just meditated to see if it would help but it doesn't seem I have made a big difference. Am snuggle up on the sofa with my cuddly lion and a fluffy blanket.

Glad you had a good time with your godmother Tamo.

not_so_insig 01-10-2024 03:55 PM

Hello all. It's World Postcard Day. I drew 10 addresses on postcrossing today so guess what I will be doing? Especially as the postage goes up soon. Fortunately I have an address in Glasgow so that only requires a 2nd class stamp.

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 05:17 PM

Hi Jen!
Therapy can be so exhausting.
Glad you're taking care of yourself today

Glad you had a good time tamo :)

one_step_closer 01-10-2024 06:17 PM

Is it your birthday, Tamo?

Glad you got out today, Beckie.

Hope you feel better soon, Jen.

Where do you buy your postcards from, Dawn?

not_so_insig 01-10-2024 06:51 PM

I buy them from whenever I am out Lindsay. Some come from my city, others from an online website called postcards market, amazon and Royal Mail themselves. However the majority today came from a fellow postcrosser who was offering a load of special postcards for this day. I have 3 more postcards left to write and my overseas Christmas cards to post as I want them in the post before the price goes up on the 6th of October.

Cacoethes 01-10-2024 06:51 PM

Thanks lindsay
It was nice but it has wiped me out!

How was the group lindsay?

Ahimsa 01-10-2024 06:58 PM

Hi all,

I was meant to be working today at the practice that's furthest away, I've been saying for 3 years I struggle being there but only 3 of the 12 of us can drive so not much that can be done.

The past 2 shifts there I've ended up super super anxious and upset and last night didn't sleep at all, so driving an hour there was absolutely not an option. Had to phone in sick. If I didn't drive, it'd be fine, I wouldn't have to. One girl drives but still doesn't have to!

Gonna have to try argue it out again tomorrow. My next shift there, I have 2 hours alone after the vet leaves, and have to lock up and leave alone.

It used to just be covering holiday for the team over there but two people left and aren't being replaced, they're just getting us to go over.

Bear in mind usually it takes me 7 minutes to drive to work for my usual place, and I come home at lunch. With rush hour it took me an hour and 25 minutes there to this one last week, and that's just one way so coming home at lunch isn't an option either.

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 07:30 PM

Sorry about your stress Ahimsa :(

It's not my birthday till Friday.

tamobhuuta 01-10-2024 07:31 PM

Well done for looking after yourself lr.

I hope you enjoy writing your postcards insig.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 06:47 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 09:15 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 09:22 AM

Morning! I had a wobbly start this morning but ok now. L washed my hair for me and I had a wash, so feeling better. Still not allowed to shower because of the drain and dressings.

How are you?

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 09:34 AM

That's a pain, I'm glad you're clean-enough. I'm OK thanks, hoping the art room will be open again.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 09:58 AM

Thanks
Fingers crossed!

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 10:29 AM

I've had a look at the activities board. No art room :(

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 12:25 PM

I went to a stretching session! They played nice music and we did some gentle stretches while seated.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 12:34 PM

That's a shame!
I'm glad they had something on that you enjoyed though :)

Ahimsa 02-10-2024 12:43 PM

Sad news about art though!

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 12:49 PM

How're you doing beth?

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 12:57 PM

What are you guys up to?

2 patients just had a huge argument. I hate conflict!

one_step_closer 02-10-2024 01:35 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope you're ok, Beckie.

The stretching along with music sounds good, Tamo. Not so good about the patients arguing. Are you ok?

How are you, Beth?

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 02:00 PM

I'm ok :) how are you osc?

not_so_insig 02-10-2024 02:52 PM

Afternoon all. I have written all my postcards and posted my 2 Christmas cards that are going overseas. I sent it via the cheaper but slightly slower International Economy post. The postcards went airmail with the exception of one which is going to Glasgow. The cost of stamps goes up on Monday including International Post so I wanted to post it beforehand. Realised I forgot someone's Christmas card that I hadn't written but it's only going in this country so it's ok. So have to find a Christmas card for them later on today.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 03:46 PM

I went out to asda. May have overdone things so will not be moving for the rest of the day or tomorrow! Well, apart from the essential mobilising I have to do.

Patients arguing is really annoying! Hope things have settled

How are you lindsay?

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 04:16 PM

Well done for doing things. Make time to look after yourselves.

I went to the Big Questions group with the chaplain. We discussed whether people are innately good.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 04:31 PM

Will do tamo!

Sounds like an interesting discussion

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 04:43 PM

It was fun. Got hijacked a few times by people talking about whatever was bothering them.

Cacoethes 02-10-2024 04:58 PM

Yeah that tends to happen!

tamobhuuta 02-10-2024 06:09 PM

It's to be expected with the crazies! Actually with people in general!

Ahimsa 02-10-2024 06:23 PM

Truth!

one_step_closer 02-10-2024 06:25 PM

Don't mention Christmas yet, Dawn!!! I get an email from The Range or something almost daily and it has a countdown to Christmas at the bottom!

Oh be careful, Beckie.

People like to talk about their own stuff no matter what the topic is.

I'm not feeling great. But had a dentist appointment with nothing needing done except a scale and polish next week and a joiner came to fix my kitchen door which I was having to slam myself into to open.

Ninja Beth, how's your day going?

Ahimsa 02-10-2024 06:34 PM

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling great OSC, glad you've had some positives!
