The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[one_step_closer]

Sorry to hear that, Tamo. Hope you didn't have to watch much depressing news before Doctors.

Hope you enjoy(ed) your walk, Beth.

I was out earlier and can't be bothered going out again.

Well done with everything you've managed, Jen. Do you draw animals like they are in reality or like cartoons?

That's good, Beckie. :)

I have had my tesco shopping order and put everything away. Waiting for amazon now.

[long road]

When I doodle I draw cartoon animals. But today I was drawing from reference photos and trying to make them as realistic as I could. Just pencil sketches as I couldn't be bothered trying to get colours right, so just went monochrome with pencil shading.

Was doing it as a positive distraction. Have run out of energy now. Might go back to bed for a lie down.

How is Crookshanks today?

[not_so_insig]

Amazon have been. I have another parcel coming tomorrow. Today's package was cillit bang tomorrow is a gift bag and a bottle of honey rum.

Do you have Amazon Prime, Dawn?

Did drawing help? Maybe you could use it again.

Crookshanks is fine, hasn't given me peace all day! He usually lies on his bed upstairs after his lunch but he's been with me all day today.

It did help. I like drawing, and I am quite good at it. Will definitely try it again sometime. It go on the list of optional activities to try when I use the new routine / day planning technique My OT suggested I try.

The first time I read your post my brain scrambled the words Dawn and I wondered why you would need a gift bag to give someone cillit bang XD

[not_so_insig]

Yes I have amazon prime Lindsay. Don't really watch the TV on it though got it for delivery.

Lol Jen. The gift bag is to put my cpn's present for mh nurses day. I only see her once every 4 weeks so i need plenty of time in case its not suitable. I got her a box of quality street just gotta find a suitable card now. Mh nurses day isn't until next month but i have to be prepared.

[long road]

You sure she wouldn prefer cillit bang to quality street? XD

But that's very good of you to get her a gift.

[not_so_insig]

She is a decent cpn so deserves a reward.

Morning everyone

[long road]

Oh no Beckie not up for the day already!

I am just going to bed, my asthma has been playing up but think it's finally settled enough I might be able to sleep.

[Cacoethes]

I am indeed. Annoying!

Hope you manage to get a decent sleep!

[long road]

Fingers crossed. I am just hoping my asthma behaves.

[Cacoethes]

Fingers crossed!

[long road]

Alas no luck on sleep front yet. Lungs are a little grumpy but mostly behaving.

[Cacoethes]

Ugh! No sleep is never a good feeling
Hopefully you're asleep now!

[long road]

Morning I was in fact asleep got about 5 hours which while not the best is manageable

[Cacoethes]

Better than none i guess!

I've just been to asda. Bumped into my brother!
So we went to aldi because i needed aldi stuff and then went for a coffee. And he carried a couple of my bags home for me because they were heavy and awkward. Very nice of him!

[long road]

Awww how lovely to see your brother!

I am up and on the sofa but not really awake awake. I'd you know what I mean.

[Cacoethes]

Yeah it was nice!
He only moved here last week, i knew I'd bump into him eventually!

Yeah i know the feeling
