Hello, feeling really tired and fed up today, can't seem to motivate myself to do the things I should be doing, anyone else feel down today?

A bit of time travel capability would be most illuminating with regards to the pyramids and the engineering of the time.

It is fascinating to me that we consider ourselves (in the present time) to be all knowing with all manner of information at our fingertips.

And yet we have been knocked into a cocket hat by ancient civilisations in many respects.

Ah, a glimmer of light indeed, @jeffgoldblum - that and @ArcaneWireless and her endless supply of brilliant gifs 😀!

jeffgoldblum · 21/08/2023 14:05

Yes ! @ArcaneWireless and her many gifs are definitely a source of joy 🤩

Why on earth was that post deleted? For breaking talk guidelines? Weird!

It was about making lists to stay motivated.

AliceOlive · 21/08/2023 17:24

Nevermind me!

ArcaneWireless · 21/08/2023 18:03

It looked like a pretty normal post but then it started honking of spam possibly going off in a direction that may not have been in accordance with talk guidelines AliceOlive

@jeffgoldblum and @Maireas - yes, I have had another reasonable day. Had some energy today. Met up with my Mum for coffee, and spent the afternoon with her.

I got a message saying I have an appointment at the Haematology Department, at the hospital. Only that it's in May next year!!! Hopefully I won't get a lot more worse before then. Still no date for ultrasound on my liver. That will probably take ages for me to be seen too.

In the meantime, I am going to try and lose the excess weight I have. Oh, and keep asking for help with my Perimenopause symptoms.

Maireas · 21/08/2023 18:42

May next year! Surely that's an error, @Needingacoffee ? I wonder why.
Perhaps it's different, but I had a consultation with my GP on the Wednesday. She sent me for bloods at the hospital the next day. I got my results on the Monday. Unless it's something very specialist. Good luck with the menopause, that can be a rough ride.

Needingacoffee · 21/08/2023 18:47

No, that is no error @Maireas . My high platelet levels better be kept an eye upon though. I don't even know what's causing them. 😕 Too specialist to be done by GP.

Maireas · 21/08/2023 19:02

Well I hope that the GP can get you a more speedy referral for your platelets levels.

ArcaneWireless · 21/08/2023 19:44

Wishing you well coffee ☕️ 🌻

Needingacoffee · 21/08/2023 20:32

I am not sure my GP could get me seen any quicker. Well, not unless my platelets levels continue to rise - @Maireas.
Thank you @ArcaneWireless .

Maireas · 21/08/2023 20:33

That's a pity. You take care, but rattle at your GP practice door if you feel any worse.

Needingacoffee · 21/08/2023 20:39

I will go back to GP, if I feel worse or get new symptoms. Just got to take it easier, and rest more on some days I think.

Maireas · 21/08/2023 20:47

👍 🌸

jeffgoldblum · 22/08/2023 09:28

It was an advertisement @AliceOlive , which isn't allowed on mn .
Sorry @Needingacoffee , that wasn't the news you wanted, try and rest .

Two loads out. Third in. (A rare drying day so have stripped all the beds) Sheldog walked. (Been up since 5 as my orbs were sweating off.

On a bit of a mission. Life is good. I’ve a beady on the housework next but am having a coffee first. Then grass.

Life is getting done. Slowly! ☀️ 🌻

Wow @ArcaneWireless , feel like a right lazy cow now!!
I'm just finishing my second cup of tea and laying around in my jammies!
I was planning to get dressed and do more laundry but haven't started yet 😳

OP posts:
ArcaneWireless · 22/08/2023 10:50

Oh I’m back in my kaftan! And I had a lazy day yesterday.

It is called recharging cherub! 😇😂

Ideally I would have still been in my jammies but it was too sticky.

Met a few folk out and about today earlier than usual who were also restless.

I’m told covid is flying round again up here. I could do with dodging that. 🤞🏼

jeffgoldblum · 22/08/2023 10:54

It's not too hot where I am at the mo ! But after many complaints we have air con in our bedroom! , it was only in the kids room previously!! Which I found irritating as I'm the one who gets hot !
I need to water the plants in my greenhouse though!
