What are you pondering about right now?

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

I'll start: I'm wondering that if I could know the future instead of the past would I swap?
How would that even work in terms of everything I've learnt? What if I was able to pick a few things I'd want to carry on knowing like skills, languages, how to swim, who's been nice or nasty to me etc ?

Where I can get short sleeve knitted tops that are a bit warmer. I need some autumn tops. I was redundant last year so didn't buy any, and have wrecked the two I bought in 2019.

Whether to do a PhD or not (it's funded and has been offered to me). It would be a bit for fun and a bit for career. If I decide not to would I actually do something else worthwhile and what counts as worthwhile?

Whether I should accept I'm going to panic about my impending hysteroscopy and what my symptoms might mean, or whether to take some Fluoxetine to try and manage the spiralling anxiety.

And then - what's for dinner tonight as I'm not in the right frame of mind to cook.

What to have for dinner (cooking just for myself) and the socioeconomics of public transport in a pandemic.

If 26 weeks is too early to put together my travel system 🤣🤣

What it would be like to be really rich. Realised I’d probably just spend the money on stupidly expensive shampoo. Probably wouldn’t change much else.

Why I’m so bloody itchy!! (15 weeks pregnant today)

Should I start getting Botox or just accept my aging face 😭

Should I buy a mini or keep my savings to put towards a new patio and garden overhaul.

I was swimming in the sea earlier and wondered if I drowned how long it would take for my body to be identified (I go alone with no purse or phone so no ID).

I also watched the birds flying high and wondered if they enjoy their life

Whether the vendors will ever find a house so we can really truly buy theirs

I’m gloomily pondering that my child with SEND received almost no attention on their birthday (apart from me, obviously!) He has just asked why his auntie hasn’t been round.

Two things!
After the death of my third Fitbit, is there such a thing as a durable fitness tracker with rubbery protection because I'm pretty sure I whacked mine against a door frame (again)?

Will HRT help with my long list of ailments?

@Ilikewinter
Buy the mini. You won't regret it.

What this weird but not unpleasant warm feeling is that I keep getting on the right hand side of my abdomen?

@sociallydistained check with your midwife? I think it can be something to do with your liver but it's a long time since I've been pregnant.

Whether to just get the garlic breadsticks from sbarro after football or go the whole hog and get pizza too

How is my daughter going to cope with starting nursery and how am I going to cope being back at work but in a new place with new people.

How the fuck to find a new job. I have no qualifications past GCSE, very little experience besides bar work & being a dinner lady (& temp TA), & literally got my current job because a previous HT at work offered me the job on the school yard. No spare cash to re-train either. & my last 3 temp contracts at work haven't lead to anything further - others have been taken on instead of me even though I keep applying there, and elsewhere 🤷‍♀️🤯

Atm, I've hit a brick wall & burying my head in crochet projects, sorting 2x secondary uniforms, & prep for returning to Rainbows and Guides next month.

@sociallydistained

skin itching is usually due to hormone changes and also skin starting to stretch.

@Mogloveseggs
Itching of hands (palms) and feet are the thing you are thinking of, symptoms of cholestatis (liver problems).
yes, it can be on other parts of the body too, so I agree it's worth mentioning to midwife.

@Mogloveseggs you'll regret not getting the pizza.

@oohmama I'm certain there is nothing wrong with your face, and that injecting poison isn't the way forward.

@Oatsamazing your daughter will cope brilliantly and you'll thrive with adult company.

@PresidentJoey not long I wouldn't think. Depends on whether someone had reported you missing and how bloated you were but even then, with DNA and dental records it wouldn't be too hard. Sort of like you, I was looking at some stabled horses and wondering if being a horse was boring.

@MaMelon try the meds and see if they help. Maybe have toast and fruit tonight.

I have been pondering whether my marriage is shit enough that divorce would be better. I suspect not, but its close.

Whether to cancel my spine surgery because I'm not allowed to drive back home afterwards despite every avenue approached for transport or say fuck it, carry on being unable to work and cost the government far more than the transport would over the rest of my working life.

And yes, I have tried every avenue including my MP so now I either give up and live a life in pain, unable to work or fight back and go to the press to highlight this - because it's not just me. This is happening to so many people.

Did I do the right thing to quit my job on maternity leave to go self employed? In a few months we'll find out

@Ginghamglitter Ummmm just to let you know what you're describing I got both times before I knew I was pregnant

Is the nice man I met yesterday single? Its been so long since I met anyone I felt interested in I had kind of written myself off.
