Afternoon everyone.

How are your days going?

not_so_insig 19-10-2022 01:31 PM

I am sitting here wondering what to do. I might take photos of my latest acquisition and put them in a Facebook group if I can. I have also photos to take of an 1930s board game at some point to as I need them to do a draft post on my blog.

one_step_closer 19-10-2022 01:40 PM

I'm also sitting here wondering what to do. Sounds like you could try and do the stuff you mentioned though. What's the board game?

not_so_insig 19-10-2022 01:46 PM

I am not sure. It's a golf board game and I tried once to understand the playing rules but it seemed complicated. It's a rare game as there's no reference to it online.

Cacoethes 19-10-2022 04:04 PM

Hey guys.
I'm home from work.
Uneventful day really. Apart from a guy paid his bill with a ring!! As in, used it on the card machine like you can do with smart watches. Just a normal looking ring!
We were all very confused. All crowded around the laptop later and googled. Apparently it's a thing now

one_step_closer 19-10-2022 04:46 PM

Paid with a ring! That's mad! Technology will not stop going further. Are you spending the rest of your day at home?

You could go on Antiques Roadshow, Dawn!

Cacoethes 19-10-2022 05:05 PM

I know! Crazy!
Yeah. I'm really tired.
Gonna do dinner in a second

tamobhuuta 19-10-2022 07:01 PM

Good evening.

Cacoethes 19-10-2022 07:24 PM

Hey tamo
How are you?

tamobhuuta 19-10-2022 07:36 PM

Looking forward to bedtime! How are you?

Cacoethes 19-10-2022 09:24 PM

Same! I'm ok thanks

maii 19-10-2022 10:39 PM

Hi all..

I'm usually ready for be as soon as I wake up - I'm always fatigue. I'll explain another time about the Fibromyalgia.


I'm also getting ready to eat even though I'm not hungry but if I don't eat the cycle starts and yeah.


..:blink:

tamobhuuta 19-10-2022 10:58 PM

Are you having anything tastey maii?

maii 20-10-2022 12:14 AM

Hi ..


Thank you for asking - I did have a few chicken nuggets and peas - nothing special.



Right now I'm watching Freddy Krueger and the Halloween loop on the TV but same things over and over LOL


Are you doing well?


Hope everyone is alright.

not_so_insig 20-10-2022 07:14 AM

Morning all. I am awake bastard early because I have an tenancy inspection. Set my alarum clock 2 hours earlier than what time the inspection was so that I could have time to change the litter tray and do any other tidying plus have a shower..

..only my body decides to wake up 3 hours early. Typical. So I am sitting here wondering what to do.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 07:18 AM

I was up early too
Well, woke up at 3am, managed to get to sleep again until 4am but woke up so just decided to get up.
Not that unusual for me though tbh
At least i have Internet so i can watch tv. All teleshopping at 4am!

not_so_insig 20-10-2022 07:24 AM

Yes teleshopping is no fun. I cant have the TV on as it might disturb the neighbours. I am waiting until 8.30 then I am having a shower. It's ordinary bin day today so hopefully mine will be collected.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 07:55 AM

Can your neighbours hear your tv?!
I always worry that they'll hear mine, or the washing machine if i put it on early, but I have asked the people that lived there before and they said they didn't even know I was there most of the time! I think these houses have really good sound proofing.

Ordinary bin day here too!

It is raining quite heavily! Boo!

Zurg 20-10-2022 09:41 AM

Morning all.
Laundry day for me today. And a bit of cleaning probably wouldn't hurt either… Bun-bun has destroyed my bed sheet this morning. And tipped over my laundry basket. God knows what he's plotting next…

Dawn, a tenancy inspection sounds stressful. I hate having strange people in my flat. Hope it goes okay!!
Have anything fun planned today, Beckie??

not_so_insig 20-10-2022 09:55 AM

I fell asleep in the end. But am awake, dressed and fed the cat so am ready for my inspection. There's only crap on the telly so am sitting here doing random internetting. I am hoping that I am one of the first people that has the inspection as I am in the first flat of my block. If they're doing the block opposite then I could be waiting a long time.

not_so_insig 20-10-2022 10:15 AM

Had inspection now. Didnt mention anything so presumably all is ok.

Also ordinary bin has been collected so everything is good.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 10:21 AM

Naughty bun Zurg!
He really does keep you on your toes doesn't he?

Nothing planned for me really. Just need to go into town to get prescription, wait for duty to call (which may not even happen so that's annoying. Can't just sit in the house and wait for them all day!) and taekwando later.

one_step_closer 20-10-2022 02:18 PM

Hi everyone, looks like you've all been busy and/or have plans to do stuff. I hope your day is going well and it continues.

I'm staying in waiting for a delivery. Just more of the jeans I like from Amazon since I need to buy more because I only have one pair that fits me. I like the jeans because they have lots of pockets so I just buy multiple pairs. They are delivering slippers too, I hope my feet will stay in these ones.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 02:22 PM

Hey lindsay!
Always good to stock up on clothes you know you like and will fit!

It has FINALLY stopped raining!
Been raining literally all day. Got soaked when i went into town!

one_step_closer 20-10-2022 02:26 PM

Oh no. Do you have to go out again?

It's raining here but not heavy.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 02:31 PM

Not until taekwando later.
I had a salad for lunch but I'm still hungry so trying to decide whether i should stick something in the oven or not

I think there was even some lightning very early this morning!

one_step_closer 20-10-2022 02:37 PM

I hope the rain stays off for you.

If you're still hungry you should have something, salad isn't really filling.

Ooh, lightning. No thunder?

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 02:47 PM

Thanks!
If it starts to rain again I'll ask my taekwando friend if she can give me a lift. Should be fine though. Will just have to turn up my dobok trousers so they don't get all wet and grubby!

Yeah i probably should.

Apparently there was thunder but i didn't hear any!

one_step_closer 20-10-2022 05:01 PM

It's good you have a plan for if it is raining. I hope you have a good session/class/whatever you call it.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 05:10 PM

It started raining again so i messaged her to see if she is going and she said yes and offered me a lift before i even asked!
It is now sunny and blue skies but there are still puddles everywhere so I'll stick with getting a lift! Would be a lot easier if my dobok wasn't bright white and would show every speck of dirt XD

Thank you!

How's your day been?

one_step_closer 20-10-2022 05:20 PM

Yeah, maybe they should have thought more about the colour! Who can even keep white things white?!

My day has been the usual struggle. Meant to go to Tesco but didn't. Will try again tomorrow.

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 05:29 PM

Exactly!
Have had to wash it separately because I'm worried about the other colours making it go funny!
Wish General choi hong hi had thought of that when he founded taekwando all those years ago XD

that's a shame. Good luck for tomorrow!

maii 20-10-2022 06:44 PM

Hi everyone,



Ugh ... one of those days again. No plans but should get out as I'm getting weaker in the legs from being to sedentary.



Hope all is well with all-y'all !

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 07:11 PM

Getting out will probably help!

I've just been to taekwando. We had to split into pairs and got the pads out doing punching and kicking sequences! It's the first time I've done it. I've punched the skin off my knuckles XD

Zurg 20-10-2022 07:45 PM

Not cool Beckie!!! That **** hurts like a mofo a day later!!! O_O i speak from experience. Used to punch pillows when i was a teenager. I punched them for so long that i tore the skin off my knuckles. When people tell me to punch pillows today to let my inner rage out i tell them that this is a bad idea since i can turn anything into something quite self destructive. Which is a shame. My psychologist has recommended trashing old flower pots though. Which does Sound like something i'd benefit from :D
I wish there was a place in every neighbourhood for people to go and smash and destroy stuff when they are angry!!!

Hmmm, i am really not the violent type!! Except for when i am totally enraged. Which i suppose happens quite often…. I'll just see myself out…!!

Cacoethes 20-10-2022 08:27 PM

Ouuuccchh! I didn't notice it at the time because i was focusing but when i got home and washed my hands it was like...yeah that hurts!

I used to freeze lots of ice in big blocks and smash them on the ground.
I don't know if you have them where you are, but they have 'rage rooms' here and you basically just take a sledgehammer to whatever you want! Never been to one but it sounds cool!

Cacoethes 21-10-2022 08:49 AM

Morning everyone!
Got a lie in, 8am!

Zurg 21-10-2022 10:10 AM

Morning Beckie :)
How are you??

Cacoethes 21-10-2022 10:18 AM

Hey zurg!
I'm ok thanks

You?

one_step_closer 21-10-2022 12:10 PM

Afternoon everyone.

I'm glad you had a lie in, Beckie. Do you feel any better for it? What are you doing today?

How are you, Kat?

I was up earlier than usual which is good. I've been to the chemist and Tesco and washed my hair and hoovered. Will hopefully be able to reply to a pen pal letter at some point.

tamobhuuta 21-10-2022 12:24 PM

Good afternoon everyone x

Cacoethes 21-10-2022 12:37 PM

Hey guys!
I'm still really tired lol

That's really good lindsay! Well done!

Hey tamo, how are you?

not_so_insig 21-10-2022 01:24 PM

Afternoon all. For some reason I am having trouble typing so forgive any typos. Dunno why it's not a vision issue it's just that my brain doesn't want to compute. I may be slow too as I will be fixing my typos. I dont feel tired unlike yesterday.

one_step_closer 21-10-2022 02:12 PM

Hi Tamo, do you have anything on today? How are you?

Do you have much to do, Beckie, or can you rest? Or maybe keeping busy will help you feel less tired.

I hope you're ok, Dawn.

Cacoethes 21-10-2022 02:21 PM

I had fitness pilates this morning (not my normal reformer pilates, this is like a step down from regular pilates, basically yoga with extra steps) it is very slow paced and the ones everyone finds really hard i don't even break a sweat! Lol
But it's nice to do something a bit slower. A lot of deep breathing and peaceful music and stuff.

Currently on hold to GP surgery.
Psych is going to send a letter over 'at some point today' to the gp so they can give me a prescription for the sertraline. I'm calling to see if they've got the letter yet. Because apparently i am psychic and will be able to tell when he's sent it :eyeroll:
I need to go into town anyway.

How are you doing lindsay?

one_step_closer 21-10-2022 02:38 PM

And you didn't fall asleep with all that deep breathing and peaceful music?!

Do you need the Sertraline today? Got any further with getting through to the GP surgery yet?

I'm just feeling really low but I'm usually low to some degree anyway.

Cacoethes 21-10-2022 02:59 PM

I did yawn quite a lot!

Yean i got through to them
They said they have the letter but dispensary are on their lunch break right now and she'll speak to them later. I do not know when they come off their lunch break. I don't know when the prescription will be ready. Apparently everyone thinks i can read minds today!

Sorry to hear that. Does anything help?

not_so_insig 21-10-2022 03:25 PM

My typing is much better now. But I feel tired despite coffee. It's pissing it down here otherwise I would sit outside.

maii 21-10-2022 03:52 PM

Good day everyone. Not doing very well, hate to say it :confused::confused::questionmark:

This also happens to me on some days and even spell check can't help. Sometimes I don't even notice until the next day after I read it, but its usually in indicator of my anxiety and lack of focus, or, trying to type too fast.



I'm glad to hear you are not as tired.
