Alright, it's bed time for some but why are you still up? No work tomorrow? Watching some questionable late night TV? Bit of stargazing?
The chinwag thread.

I pressure washed the patio earlier and I'm still riding that high. My GOD it was satisfying.

I have loved this weekend just pottering around.
I made my poppy seed and lemon cake but I haven’t yet tried it. I also aren’t sure it’s going to have enough lemon as my lemons were looking a bit ropey.
I also bought some stuff for the garden… nothing to sit on yet… but some compost and seeds.

It's been a nice day today. A bit of a lie in, then put some washing on. While that was doing, I went outside with my dog where we alternated playing and lounging around.
My partner came home and after a cuppa we took the dog for a walk. It was a sniffy walk followed by a run around with some dog friends.
Home, and I put the tea on, pie, mash and veg tonight. I had a Savoy cabbage in my odd box, so I cooked half of that with flora buttery and some garlic. It went down a treat.
Then my partner went up to fiddle with their desktop computer, and I have read and eaten too much ice-cream.
The fire has died down, so it's probably about time for bed.

Got up today, had lunch and meds, and immediately felt so overwhelmingly tired I had to go back to bed. Woke back up with a migraine, so the day was a complete write off. I know these days happen sometimes, and I shouldn't beat myself up about it, but I was really hoping to update my website and CV. I'll try to get a little bit done before bed.

Managed to chip away at digging myself out of the small hole I've got into recently - implemented some things to ease the burden a little.
So tonight I'm feeling almost alright.
Still up because I see it as a tiny win.
I usually go to my mums on a Monday morning but it's been put off until Tuesday this week as she has her hairdresser coming, so I'm going to have a lie in tomorrow then have this banging high protein flavoured porridge I've discovered for breakfast

Man, this week has been long, but in that very busy, very good way. I've actually been falling asleep *too early* for the late thread.
I'm also going to be a lazy git today and reshare my Uber Ride from Hell that I posted on the Saturday Chat thread, because I'm still wrapping my head around it:
On the way back from a nice night out with friends, I got to be in my first ever car collision after someone (who was stopped at a junction) decided to embrace their inner *Fast & Furious* and fly out in front of us at the last minute. Shoutout to our Uber Driver who was doing 30mph (the speed limit), and pulled off an emergency stop that turned what would've been a pretty nasty T-bone into nothing more than a hard jolt.
A *it wasn't my fault* from the other driver and insurance details later, we were off.
Only to, 5 minutes later, almost collide head on with *another driver* who decided that they were going to break the speed limit *on the wrong side of the road on a bend*.
We did tip our driver for getting us back in one piece, and if anything, it's made me really confident about my driving test on Wednesday. If these nutters can get a licence, then I should have no problem.

I’m depressed as shit and can’t decide between going to sleep or crying.

watching old "Mission Impossible"-episodes and preparing for a longer (self-own) work-"week" late-shift.

I ache. Belaying a 6st teen when you weigh 13st is a helluva lot easier than doing the same when they weigh 7 and you weigh 11. Had to put some effort in today, not helped by the fact they've suddenly found strength, speed and agility and are going up routes like a rat up a drainpipe!
I am exceedingly proud of them, though.
Bits of me are how trying to kill me so I am, again, waiting for painkillers to do their thing...

I’m finishing up a book.
I’ve had a couple weeks (months?) of just one thing after the other and I’m really struggling. This is the umpteenth night in a row I’ve been too worried to sleep.
I don’t think things have calmed down yet but I’m hoping this week I’ll actually leave the house and get fresh air. I’m well enough to and I just need to step away from my desk so I can feel some kind of normal.

I've gone down the rabbit hole of researching sit/stand desks. Anybody who has one, are they brilliant? I'm so close to getting one for home.
