Well it finally happened to me.
My alarm has just been sat going off silently for the last 2 hours.

Oh myโ€ฆ theyโ€™re not too difficult to get here really. I just donโ€™t know why the acceptable limit is ๐Ÿ˜…

Whatโ€™s the best way to buy 40 scratch cards?
If I buy them all in one place is someone going to attempt an intervention?

That was meant to be me retracting from just assuming the ambulance was there for the older person. Instead I assumed it was there for someone who needs a mobility aid. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ Obv it could be anyone in the house.

Noโ€ฆ but heโ€™s been in there since Iโ€™ve lived here so thatโ€™s two years. Most likely more.

Ambo could be there for anyone though. One of the kids gets about on a mobility scooter so might not even be the older guy.

There is now an ambulance outside this house.

Iโ€™m a terrible person who just puts it in a ponytail and cuts 2 inches off every now and then. One day I will find a way to tolerate the process.

My shoulder is still crumbling this morning. Because I slept weird to accommodate the shoulder my right hip is also hurting. The whole right side of my face hurts from the stupid tooth and I have a sore throat.

I canโ€™t keep taking days off work but I am also so tired. Endlessly tired.

CW: generalised moaning

How do I stop feeling ill?
Went to bed last night relatively fine then my brain wouldnโ€™t shut up, my shoulder dislocated and a wisdom tooth which has been out for years decided to have a growth spurt.

The last time they offered I was in Same Day Emergency and cried until they agreed to give me tablets. It very much does not appeal ๐Ÿ˜…

The no caffeine is dreadful. What do you mean no tea?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Iโ€™m not splurging on Decaffe tea lol. Iโ€™ve been having hot honey, ginger and lemon as my hot drink with it.

Can you has anything quickly after it thatโ€™s nice? Like a ribena chaser? ๐Ÿ˜… or have a mint before? Or brush your teeth? Bodies are so dumb sometimes. Hopefully youโ€™ll find a solution!

Thank you. If the tabs donโ€™t work this time I may have to go back on my point blank refusal to have an infusion ๐Ÿ˜‘

Can you melt a Barocca in it? ๐Ÿซฃ
Iโ€™ve not had liquid iron before. What about a drop of vanilla essence or minty flavour? Not sure if it would interfere with it working or not though.

Iโ€™ve just gone back on my iron tablets. Hellish stuff.

Iโ€™m making a point of recognising what triggers my anxiety.

Just had a first meeting with a customer Iโ€™ve not met before - pretty chill.

Came out of that meeting to an invite to an in person conference in May - instant tummy flip.
ITS 2 MONTHS AWAY YOU IDIOT.

Two pony tail palms. One is on the window sill in a blue pot with very long leaves that curl all the way down to the window sill. The other is on the table in front of the window with much shorter leaves that look like a bad haircut I gave myself I my early 20s.

Just ccโ€™d my regular contact into a email as I know heโ€™s on leave.

Got an OOO which reads -
Our organisational policy to support staff health and wellbeing means any emails received during annual leave will not be read. If your email is important please resend it after 4.03.2026

Like it.

Few weeks ago I was worried my role might get made redundant because not many customers were signing up to the service.
Guy who looks after 54 customers using a different product is leaving (suddenly) on Thursday.
Guess who is being asked to pick them up?

Worries be gone!
Workload be crazy!

Hospital letters are one the worst things that seem to be delayed by the Royal Mail issues.
Might be worth trying to call the dept your appt is with to ask them just in case a letter appears after the appointment. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Flapjacks were one of the things I would regularly โ€˜dropโ€™ when I worked in the bakery so, oh no, they couldnโ€™t go on the shelf. But we canโ€™t throw them away! *crumb covered mouth*

My neighbour has bought a guitar and as is tradition he is simply playing the intro to Smoke on the Water repeatedly.

I phoned my gp about my position on the waiting list. Iโ€™m half way through the 5 year wait. They sent me a link to Right to Choose and a link to submit my choice. I decided I best sit and look at it properly. When I eventually had to brain space to look at it to the link to respond had expired. ๐Ÿ˜‘
