Anyone Up?

[RabbitsRock]

In hospital overnight & would love a “ What’s Everyone Up To?” type thread. Always my fav during the day 🙂 Be good to have some virtual company.

Hi everyone
Hope you are ok and get better soon op. I have just gotten into bed with my winter bed socks and a hot water bottle. I am so cold tonight. Stayed up watching Death on the Nile with Pitor Ustinov love his version of Piorot.

I’ve just finished a spur-of-the-moment / I-wasn’t-really-aware-I wanted-a-new-job job application. I’m wired and trying to chill out my brain to get to sleep. My feet are very very cold though which is a major distraction. Now I have to chew over ‘do I REALLY want a new job or do I just really fancy this job?’ Urghhhh.

I hope you are being well-looked after and are much better soon x

I'm in bed rubbing my cat's belly so he'll fall asleep and I'm allowed to sleep. He has his own pillow next to mine. He's a demanding diva and I love him.

I hope you’re ok. My health has been dreadful this year so I feel for you.

i got home from the gym an hour ago. I have a new foster cat to look after. She was dropped off while I was out. She’s been abandoned and some person has cut her whiskers off. I can’t think about what she’s been through because I can’t cope with the cruelty in the world. She’s hiding under my bed now poor girl. She’s been on the streets and looks very dirty.

i hope you get some rest in the hospital

Get well wishes for you OP!

I’m wide awake when I should be fast asleep .. I’m on call for a home birth and can’t settle as I keep thinking I’m about to get called out!

Laid in bed scrolling. Suffering with an UTI and really uncomfortable with it. Started antibiotics today so hopefully feel better soon.
Being awake at night in hospital isn’t the best you poor thing. I don’t think I ever fully sleep in hospital, I just kinda doze.

Back from big celebratory family dinner and still much too full to sleep! Left DH snoring away and I'm having a cup of tea and scrolling/ doing a crossword in peaceful solitude in the kitchen.
Get well soon OP 😊

Hope you can get home soon OP.
I am tired but up scrolling. I have an unexpected day off tomorrow, so feel I should stay up late to make the most of it!

@Hysterectomynext I rehomed a cat justcaftercshe'smd been spayed andxl her foster carer had had her in her house for a week. I promised to take great care of her but I hadn't exoectedxher to settle overnight or that my neighbour's cat would be there with us on her first morning. She had made friends with him overnight. I'd gently try to clean her with a damp towel and bribe with food like Encore.

Hope all ok op and you’re home soon.

@MerryPortas @Riverswimmers my cousin is in moulin rouge!!! He’s been in it 4 years and now has a lead part! He absolutely loves it. And is totally fab #biased 🤩

im up late as only just discovered greys anatomy a month ago and am binge watching on my night off work. Can’t believe I missed out watching in real time. Derek has just operated on issy, for any fellow grey fans. Lights off soon as dc1 has an A’level exam tomorrow

Hope you can escape back home soon, OP!
I am about to go to bed after winding down from a loooooong choir rehearsal and watching Chicago Hope. I get drawn into the stories and lose track of time. Fortunately, I don’t have to get up early.

Mind you, before I can go to bed, I need to track down my two tabby 🐈 🐈 as they normally get shut in the lounge at night. If I leave them to roam the house, they’ll end up hogging on all the bed and then sitting on me in the wee small hours demanding attention!

Woke up at 12.30am after a few hours sleep, a cup of tea is in order.

I made myself feel a bit sick earlier by a huge slab of warmed cake with extra thick cream. Of course now I want more but perhaps a smaller portion!

I think someone said they were hungry in hospital, they should be able to get you a sandwich if there are any left or cheese and crackers. My local one is pretty good for munchies.

Hope you’ve managed to nod off OP. I’m in bed with a small child’s foot in my back. The cat is doing zoomies around the house, leaping onto my headboard and shouting wow-wow-wow as she’s running. Furry weirdo!
Im hoping to fall asleep soon… not optimistic though. Can hear lots of sirens, so the police helicopter will probably be up soon, too!

Hi! Fellow Grey’s fan here - I was lucky enough to watch it since it started though, so have always seen it in real time. Back when there weren’t loads of breaks during it but then there was a huge summer break and we were left in agony over cliffhangers. All I can say to you, with where you are, is have a box of tissues permanently on standby for at least the next 7 seasons! I guess Derek’s just batted the ring into the woods after losing Jen? Really hoping I’ve got the order of events right.

I loved the early seasons so much, I’m jealous of you watching afresh. 2 years ago I suddenly realise I could go back and do a rewatch - after 20 years it felt new at times! Although I was still sat on the edge of my seat, bated breath, testing Karev to run faster back at the bomb in the body episode despite knowing how it all turned out lol!

also - well done to your cousin! I’m wondering too if the 2 users went together lol! I’m sensing make changes if they realise they did!

@Postprobs that doesn't sound sleep inducing!

I might watch Gosford Park, think I saw it years ago but can't remember it well. Actually thinking about it I have hospital tomorrow (today) but only a discussion with my consultant.

I'm awake because I cut ties with my best friend. We lived in eachothers pockets from age 17. We have texted every single day. Weve toured the world, slept on floors and sofa beds. Supported eachother through hard times.

I'm 40 now. I had twins four years ago and made him their uncle of course. Since day 1. They love him so much. He was going through quite lonely times so I went out to freezing benches during lockdown to keep him company, while my babies were slept at home. I met him in parks, i brought picnics. I bought dinner, sang karaoke, and gave him nephews, cooked him SO MANY meals, got the beers in, took him on nights out, on 2hrs sleep, with thd kids at home sleeping sound with their dad, because he missed hanging out. And he said he was so lonely. Even though he has a lovely gorgeous girlfriend. He values friendship a lot.

I know he loves me. But he has never been reciprocative. He doesn't invite me out. We would usually joke about this and he lets me tease him a LOT. I have spent 23 years with my friend.
But he had a child last year. She is so so beautiful. I was over the moon. He has let me visit once. He's turned down every invitation I've made and only wants to send me instagram reels.

I loved my best friend so much that over the years, I never really worried about getting any others. I have a lovely husband and sister. And he was my FRIEND. What more can a girl need?

Today he told me he's actuallly moved out of our city. Some small village. Hours away. No prior warning.

It hurt so much. It felt like the final straw. When I considered leaving our city last year for a bigger family home he guilt tripped me SO HARD to stay. And i did stay. I just moved a few miles up the road.

Well, this all felt like the end for me I guess. I explained everything and cut contact.

I know ita a a me thing. I didnt blame him really for being a bit crap. But I'm awake feeling sad. And wondering how to make friends. Anyway thanks for letting me get that out.

Sorry that was so long and boring phew maybe I helped you get to sleep!

I hope you are alright OP and being well looked after

Thank you for all your well wishes - much appreciated ❤️

Hihihello your post really resonates with me. Sorry about your friend

Aw thank you, get well soon x

Is your cousin in the touring company currently in Edinburgh? The cast is really strong - do you mind sharing who your cousin plays? The. I can tell you just how good he is!

Poor bang girl. Thank god she's got to you. Is she still under your bed? Or has she ventured out for food/litter tray??

Did you get called out?? (Sorry if you've said, I'm working my way through the thread??).

Details if so... 😊

Having a cup of tea while looking out at the garden. Trying to determine how bad this brewing migraine is going to be.

Sorry to hear you are in hospital @RabbitsRock , hope you’re home soon! 💐

Oh I am so sorry, your heart must be breaking. 😢🤗

I met my newest close friend in hospital of all places!

No, sadly not! But I’m on call again tonight so another chance tonight!
