Friday night, what are you up to?

[LazyLeopard]

It’s been a long week. I went back to therapy, and finally realised I have PTSD following the death of my parents. Only taken me 20odd years 🤦🏻‍♀️ But knowing has helped me be less angry at myself.

So tonight, DH and I had a glass of wine in the garden. Now he and the teens are larking around, while I make dinner. Nothing special - just Spag Bol - but I enjoy cooking on a Friday night, feels like a reward for a very busy week at work. It’s nice.

The teens will shortly disappear upstairs with beige, and we will have dinner, and more wine, and most likely watch a Succession or a new Black Mirror. What are you up to? How has your week been?

I want to go brain dead in front of Stardew Valley all night. This week has been a horrid one and I need to chill

Oh @CoffeeDrinkerLatte I’m so sorry it’s been horrid. Do you want to talk, or really just forget? I understand both feelings x

What is Stardew Valley?

Lying flat on the sofa howling for a glass of wine currently 😲

Sat in an airport waiting to come home

Well done for going back to therapy op. It's so important. I'm doing the same! Keep going! It's so worth it.

Me and my child’s dad areeee trying to figure us out while living separately so I’ve just put our daughter to bed and having a cuppa on FaceTime to my friend… we just have each other for company while doing tasks etc. tomorrow me and my partner are taking our daughter out for the day and that’s it! I always call Fridays girls nights

Jewish household here, so Friday Night dinner, and phones off until Saturday night! I've made salmon, and DH has made his famous Baba ghanoush, which I'm sampling while he prays the early evening prayer 😁

It’s been a stupendously bad week capped by things getting even more horrendous today so I’m just sitting staring into space wondering what the point is. I’m too upset and miserable to move.

i would say things can’t get worse but I said that at the start of the week and they did get worse!

We’re both emerging from the fog of covid, so having dinner for the first time since Monday. I’ve managed to do some washing, change bedding and clean the bathrooms. DH has vacuumed and washed the floors.

Going to see the Barbie movie with my DP

I'm at my PiL's.. got here earlier today. Took over 4 hours to get here.

Have just had dinner and lots of prosecco.. and some cheese and crackers.. snd now lying on the sofa in a food coma!

Watching Malory Towers with DD (10) on the sofa at the moment drinking tea. DS (13) is out walking the dogs and DH is having an after work drink with colleagues. Kids’ beige tea is in the oven and DH is planning to cook spicy lamb kebabs from scratch when he gets in. Will have several glasses of wine and hope that Gardeners’ World is on later.

@SadKen82 do you have your wine yet?! Thank you. I’ve been before, but I think this time it’s clicked. If that makes sense? It’s helped in the short term, but I have bigger stuff to resolve!

@Excitedannie 😢! Where have you been? Have you had a good time?

@mummy21blueeyed Good luck tomororw, I hope it goes ok x

@PurpleChrayne this is great! I love that your phones are off for a set time!

Ds has a job at a country house wedding venue this evening. I was going to drop him off and pick him up later but it’s so beautiful here that I’m sat on a bench in the gardens with a blanket on my knees reading a book and just watching the rabbits and hares running about.

Welldone for going to therapy @LazyLeopard that is a very brave thing to do!

I have just put the kids down, will wizz around and tidy up now. Probably watch Dr Death when DH gets back from work. I'm working the weekend so just want a relaxing evening

Nothing much. IBS Playing up so just had a nice bath. And ill have a cup of tea in a
while.

lazy evening!

@whirlyhead I’m so sorry, sending love x

@BluevelvetsofaI hope you continue to feel better!

@thecrispfiend let us know how it is!

@sunshineplayroom they sound like they could be good inlaws?

@Chickoletta I LOVE Malory Towers! I’ve been listening to the audiobooks again recently in bed as easy relaxing listening. 😍

For a start I didn’t even realise it was Friday night (on mat leave and summer hols thrown me out of whack!) so that probably tells you how wild it’s going to be.

Saying that I have a curry on the way and we might watch interstellar.

@PurpleChrayne Your username always makes me smile. Shabbat shalom.

I’m loafing around on the sofa. DP’s just finished putting DD to bed and is about to have a shower. I’ve ordered Chinese for supper and I’m staaaarving.
After we’ve eaten, I’ll go and finish packing for my first trip abroad since god knows when - before pandemic, definitely - and then we’ll probably hate-watch another episode of And Just Like That, which always involves rowdy heckling.

Had a horrific week for various reasons. Kids and I have eaten. DP is playing golf and having a beer with his golf buddies. I am watching tv with a glass of wine

I'm going to see Gary Davies 80s night.

Finished work, had a bath. Watching top of the pops with a glass of wine.

Started taking my anti depressants again this week after a break and have had seratonin syndrome all week, as I started back on too high a dose.
I feel as high as a bloody kite, but better today then the rest of the week. I've been all tremors and paranoia.
Which wasn't fun at the barbie movie!!

Laying here on the sofa thinking, it looks like and feels like Halloween, sort of time of year.... is it just me or the drugs ffs.

@LazyLeopard - Yes, me too. Have you seen the TV series? Really well made and nice to have something that DD and I like watching together. DS finds it hilarious and keeps calling me ‘a spiffing brick’. 🙄

@RoyKentFanclub that sounds glorious! Enjoy every second!

@Astronaut1298 thank you, I’m lucky that people around me realised I needed more. Deffo make sure you relax before a weekend of work! X

@CeriB82 you poor thing! I hope a relaxing evening helps x

@Tisfortired maternity leave does that 🤪

@SomethingNastyInTheBallPool where are you heading?

@Jobalob I’m sorry it’s been awful x I hope the weekend gets better x

@saveforthat have fun!

@EmmaPaella oooh from what year? X
