Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 19: Calmly through the day

[MissConductUS]

I've started a new one. Please join us and share the boring and mundane things happening in your world. It will be calming for all.

Here is the link to the prior thread:

Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 18: Calmly through the day

That's great new Sue

Just slept most of day and just had a bath and printed out documents for tomorrow hospital visit and lots of e-mails.

Good luck tomorrow Silkie.
I have just got back from live streamed Nutcracker in the local odeon and have eaten biscuits and cheese. Now off to bed as on long day tomorrow 7-1930......

Wishing you all the luck tomorrow, Silkies.

Hope your H is feeling ok, Sue. Nice to have him back, and I'm sure he prefers home to the hospital.

In the spirit of the thread, I have no news. I did a little lackadaisical searching for DD2's lost Christmas gift but didn't find it. I may end up ordering a replacement.

All the best today Silkie

I’m wearing a Christmas jumper at work today. It’s a subtle one.

Silkie All the best!!!

All the best for today @Silkieschickens!

I hope your DH is doing well, @sueelleker

Good news on the warm footwear @Prokupatuscrakedatus

The wind is making a lot of noise but I should go for a walk instead of staying in and listening to it.

Almost forgot, I hope your day of long meeting goes well @MissConductUS

Thinking of you today Silkies. I am agog that when you asked the breast unit for an earlier doctor's appointment they offered you mental health support instead. Stand your ground.

MissC - have a good trip. Is your daughter coming home this weekend? I have both of mine coming home today. For nearly 2 days I will have all of my children under one roof... Then one of them leaves again.

DD is currently delighted with the universe because she auditioned for her college chorale, and got into the advanced one. I think it's really boosted her confidence.

ZZ How lovely for your DD!
Mine wanted to audition for her uni's but then the plague came.

Good luck silkie

DM is somewhere in transit between her house and here. It would of course be too easy to let me know exactly where she is or what time she might arrive, so we hover in limbo waiting for The Call.

DM has always felt the cold so DH has taken the opportunity to gallantly turned the heating up for her. DDog2 is thrilled

I had my Covid booster yesterday then did a 12 hour night shift. In retrospect this wasn't the best planning, but at least it's done now and I only feel mildly ropey.

And for those of you teetering on the edge with angst over ChampagneCat's precarious food situation, the matter has been sorted by the purchase of an obscenely expensive replacement

Champagne That news really calms me down - and sends me on a "what will there be to eat" expedition.

Tbanks, @Nydj. It's going to be a long day. 😐

ZZ, I'm going to pick her up on Tuesday. DS doesn't come home until the 22nd.

The trip down was okay. We went to a posh steak house for dinner. It's a chain called Ruth Chris. The meal was excellent but we didn't get back to the hotel until after 10:00. I woke up early so I worked out in the fitness room before breakfast.

DH says the cats are looking for me. 😽 🙀😾

ZZ, well done to your daughter!

Had Ct and that was fine but now they are saying will be another 6 weeks before treatment starts, might need to shift to private for operation but its about £20k.

Silkie I'm glad to hear the adrenal growth seems less worrying than they first thought. Sue good news that your husband is home, hope he's doing ok.

We've got our decorations up now and I went late night shopping yesterday so I'm feeling much more festive now. My son has come down with a stomach bug (fairly inevitable as it's taken half of his class out!). Just keeping fingers crossed the rest of us avoid it

@silkie - I hope this means less bad news? If so - great!!!

Here is a slightly Christmassy foto of the Memorial Church.

@Silkieschickens, today’s CT sounds a bit more positive, I think?

I have put lights on the Christmas tree - hopefully, DH and I can add the ornaments tomorrow. If we are very lucky, DS might join in for a little while.

I don't know results of CT for a week and a half then its a 6 week wait after that for surgery with no treatment so not great news.

Oh Silkie I'm sorry they are keeping you waiting for so long

Sorry, I misunderstood, @Silkieschickens.

Silkie, 10 days to get a radiology report for a cancer pt is insane, as is six weeks for surgery. Did you get the pathology lab report yet?

I’ve had a g&t and now I’m off to bed! One more week of school to go… I can do this.

DS's school ist still on green = f2f. 6 active covid cases. School breaks up on the 22nd. Our office closes over Christmas so I am home from the 17th onward.

DD is putting the chocolate on her cookies and I have improvised a cold storage place for the chocolate to harden.

@Silkieschickens 💐for you.

@HelenaJustina you can do it.

Had good but bad day in work. Staff raised something with me which needed dealing with and made me sad.

DS was delightful when I got home.

Busy day tomorrow taking DS and child we have for respite care to garden centre. Said child is going to buy Christmas pressies. It can be a bit of a challenge helping him and keeping DS entertained
