thread on which to be factitiously Mentally Normal (NOS)

[Mitchy1nge]

nobody was wondering but not only am I still alive, the horribleness of my back pain has completely stopped is all a bit tender and traumatised but hooray for me

and partial hooray for the weirdness that is tramadol I suppose

She's going somewhere where they do science. First though she's going to Africa to do stuff with Ebola.

everyone except me is always Going to places and Doing stuff :(

I don't think I can even be bothered to go to bed

anyway still have 1,551 calories to eat if am going to achieve today's objective

You can have some of my calories if you like

that is very kind of you snowy!

I do love food really, is not usually such an ordeal. Might genuinely not be hungry for once in my life?

I finished off the brie today You might not be hungry.

Someone tell me to stop reading about polycythaemia, please.

yes stop it until you find out what is causing it!

when will you get results from last test?

They said the results would be back next week, so I'll have to see what they say then. I wish I'd thought to ask what they were testing for today (no point in stressing over it though).

will there be lots going on to occupy your thoughts over the next few days?

The Apprentice is a good distraction for tonight, at any rate.

Star Trek The Next Generation here. Beverly Crusher is being lascivious again.

End Of The World

I have two appointments at the same time tomorrow in different towns (and a third one later which doesn't clash with anything but is boring for me because it will involve being trapped in CAMHS waiting room where there is no room to prowl about) aibu to lie down, have small cry about Being Fat and indulge in fantasies about the dissolution of my physical self rather than do practical problem solving type thought?

Definitely nbu.

thanks :) it is the only logical response

How's everyone doing? CPN cancelled on me.

Waiting for a call back from care coordinator - just rang the CMHT to let them know that as I'm having trouble with the speed of taper I'll be increasing my antidepressant.

Got a call back from the doctor - all good, no tellings-off

glad to hear that, enpoid!

is prob fair to say most of today has gone even more wrong than anticipated but drawing upon my inner pathologically positive tendencies (which am good at hiding from myself) on plus side meeting at new medical unit went well, The Teen will start after Christmas - will involve some travel each day, could be interesting

and we did make it to CAMHS but 50 minutes late because I got the time wrong, psychologist was extremely nice about and is seeing her anyway

they have left me to die alone in the worst waiting area in the world ever

in other bright and happy news have achieved a supermegagalactic omelette with 3 eggs, 150g of feta, some pecorino, courgette, aubergine and cherry tomatoes (plus spinach of course)

Omelette sounds yummy

Sorry the day has gone so wrong for you, hope it gets better.

I'm roasting nuts - so far have roasted plain cashews and also some salted almonds, half of which I've tossed in paprika after roasting. Also have brazils, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, redskin peanuts, and walnuts. I went shopping It's slightly early to be doing them - should wait until Sunday really for maximum freshness - but my jars came in the post and I got excited, and I'm also aware my mind could decide to fuck me over and stop working at any time, so I'm getting some stuff done while the going is good

I'm definitely with you on getting stuff done whilst the going is good! I've got family coming tomorrow, must baby-proof a little bit.

Sorry to hear your CPN cancelled - have they offers you a replacement appointment?

Yes, they have next week.

Oh, good.

slightly freaked out at the fact that I've managed d to turn an enormous bag of cashews into two stingy-looking half-full jars of cashew butter, but I hope if I put enough ribbon on it nobody will notice they've been diddled on the quantities
