Thank you. I powered through the day at work, just felt a bit off it but hadn't really eaten anything Thursday with feeling so rubbish. Had a good sleep last night and got up this morning feeling fine so no idea what I had!

Probably doesn't help I'm feeling exhausted most of the time. Hey ho, I plod on.
 
Now I remember why we don't host at home! This week is a big birthday for my husband, a few weeks ago we had a conversation that went a bit like this......
"Would you like to go out for dinner to celebrate?"
"Hmmmm no I think we should have a small BBQ at home with a few friends"
"Ok, it needs to be simple, we need to enjoy it too"
"Yes absolutely"

Fast forward to now and we have more than originally agreed, a husband who is working from home but keeps giving the rest of us jobs when I have study to do, the house apparently isn't clean enough and now the downstairs toilet needs painting!
I'm sure it will be worth it in the end but I'm beginning to feel like I'll be going back to work for a rest! 🤯
Happy half term!
 
Eating. I need to stop doing it so much...or at least choose celery over cake. But I've been saying that for weeks now and nothing has changed (except the balance on the scales).

Can't deny my mood has been all over the place since my op. I'm tired a lot too which was to be expected but also doesn't help cravings.

Hoping that the arrival of better fruit options and warmer weather for fancying salads might spark some will power 🤦🤦
 
☹ people

☹ I've just seen on facebook that the buses are on strike from Monday, indefinitely! I need to check how and what this means for me being at work at 7.30am and getting home at 6.30pm. Already stressing about this.
 
I ordered too much lettuce again. How the hell do I do this on every Asda order?!

I know this is likely not a thing for some but it unfortunately does bug me a little. And I am sorry if I offend anyone, that is not my intention at all ☹️

The recent monkey pox talk has thrown this up. They were mentioning the origin and said AFRICA. Africa is a continent and not a country. It had me wondering whether it came from all over Africa. But alas, it was west and central.

When people talk about Africa, I prefer them to try and be specific (e.g. country) or at least state which part of the continent they’re talking about.

Rant over.

A fair point, well made and duly noted! If I ever make any reference to somewhere in Africa, I shall be specific 😁

Actual thought process since 9am:

1. Meh I should've gone to sleep by now.
2. Actually all I need to do is wait on the postie and that'll be done by 11am.
3. Wait the batteries are still charging, can't sleep til they're done.
4. Wait no the Pets at Home delivery is due today and they're going to get lost.
5. Wait maybe DPD too and they'll also get lost.
6. Wait Amazon delivery today? What the hell did I even buy this time.
7. Ah it's Tuesday. Support worker's gonna be here today.
8. Oh and I need to go to the Post Office.
9. Why haven't I slept yet?!
10. Loud music to stay awake it is.

I don't recommend it, although I was still surprisingly coherent when I finally got to sleep that evening.

I meant to ask you - where does the name Lorcan come from? I had never heard it before until our new youth worker started in church. He has German genes.

Just fed up with been a pawn to keep others happy...do I not matter too?

You do matter. You really do. It’s so hard to put yourself first as it makes you look selfish. Also you’ve probably always put yourself last so it will be a hard habit to break. But sometimes you need to. 😘

South of the border. It's never been a wildly popular name in the north (probably because only "that lot" would name their children that, if you get me) but it's not completely unknown. Usually written as Lorcán, with the fada, but I couldn't get the fada into the username when I signed up lol.
 
I thought it was your name to start with. I love it. I’d love a piggy called Lorcan. Is sounds so strong.

So you chose it when you changed your name to Tony?

Yup. I found it flowed better than just name + surname. All the legal paperwork has the fada on the a (á) as well. That was an entertaining few months of paperwork haha. There's much more work involved with a name change than people generally realise.

Cool name 😁
 
Thank you.
At times I feel one thing but it's a cover up for a real feeling...

On Tuesday was walking my dogs and someone I speak too with dogs came to meet me in floods of tears to tell me his wife 😢 had died. And that I had to know as she said I was a good person and she liked me. It was upsetting.

In March my neighbour died and someone else I know died who the last 2 years had got to know 😢

I can never understand how one moment someone is ok and you are talking to them and then you hear they are gone. Think 🤔 I have trauma from past tbh

Also one of my greyhounds has cancer and getting to her bridge time.
 
Argh I just about tipped the whole of a can of Coke all over the floor. I saw it drop. I watched it running all over the floor. And for some reason my response was not to pick it up but instead pick up all the stuff on the floor on my other side, that was in no danger of getting flooded by Coke, and THEN picking up the stupid can.
 
Memory loss.
Went to see new Downton Abbey film with daughter as we'd watched all the shows during lockdown and then eventually the first film. Love the frocks. Downton Abbey shouldn't be too challenging a watch after a little operation - chuckle humour but no guffaws to strain the stitches.

So the new one starts off with a wedding and you 'travel' up the aisle looking at the back of everyone's heads and get to the front when the Bride and Groom turn round smiling... ("Oh it's him - but who's that? Wasn't he already married?") then the camera pans back through the congregation at all the smiling faces ("Should I know who these people are? Oh, there's Lady Mary - it's coming back to me, hang on, who's that? She looks familiar... but wasn't she in Harry Potter? Was she in this before? Maybe she's a new character? Who's that? And that? And them?! And who are all these kids? Wasn't he dead before?! Didn't he die in this? Or was it in real life? Or in something else...!")

Seriously, it was Game of Thrones all over again! :roll:
 
We went to the pub yesterday afternoon but I had a huge seizure / funny turn so I had to come home and was in bed for the rest of the day / night so missed out on the celebrations :( At least there's always today. We're going to a house warming party tomorrow afternoon so I'm hoping I don't have one then otherwise the hubby won't be happy as it's his boss!

Hope you’re ok at the house warming.
 
Mothers on their scooters that you are supposed to be watching because once they get on their scooters they become COMPLETELY oblivious to ANYTHING else around them and you have a blind dog with lung problems that gets tired and you have to carry her to try and keep up with the mother ploughing on at speed on a near out of control scooter and they finally stop at the TOP of the hill and ask if you’d like to put the dog on their knee and you burst into tears because by now you’re stressed, tired and sore (probably because you are just better from covid) and then they start crying and saying how much of a nuisance they are and then you feel really guilty!!

Ahem…. we’ll I imagine that would be annoying…. 🙄😭
