Mightn't get here in an hour though.

Roast chicken is very tempting.

I think I just have freezer stuff.

I have no idea how long it would take me to get to where you live though Grin

Ennn · 20/02/2015 18:32

Good luck in therapy Caulk

UpOnDown · 20/02/2015 18:40

I was home in time to cook this evening and I seem to have enough for about 6 people in the oven at the moment. Guess it'll be chicken sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.

Ennn · 20/02/2015 18:44

Or three people if one of them is me Grin

Ennn · 20/02/2015 18:47

I have Jiffy bags and stamps. Do you like roast carrot and parsnip?

Ennn · 20/02/2015 18:51

Keep the parsnip; it's a bit carby for me. Bung a bit of gravy in if you've got it tho. Thanks Smile

I'm going to the gym; see you guys later, and sleep well if I don't see you Grin

HellinaHandbasket · 20/02/2015 18:54

Have fun at the gym.

Ennn · 20/02/2015 18:57

Someone on chat linked this, which I'd completely forgotten about.

Does anyone else get this powerful feeling that Something Incredibly Important is just about to happen?

A bit like the classic sense of impending doom. But not necessarily bad.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 20/02/2015 20:25

Wow, second top poster Shock

Ennn · 20/02/2015 20:27

I know right? Shock

CaulkheadUpNorth · 20/02/2015 20:27

Isn't that feeling anxiety? Or is it more than that?

UpOnDown · 20/02/2015 20:27

I'd forgotten about that too. I get impending doom sometimes, that does sound different, not heard it before.

OP posts:
Ennn · 20/02/2015 20:30

I don't recognise it as anxiety - its a bit the same but more kind of exciting-anticipationy. Although I do get anxiety sometimes. Maybe it's a subtype of anxiety? It's like I've just heard five of my six numbers come up and am waiting for the last, or I'm five years old and it's Christmas Eve, or something. Adrenaline rushy. I think you're on to something with anxiety tho.

Ennn · 20/02/2015 20:31

What are you up to this weekend Up?

UpOnDown · 20/02/2015 20:32

Not a lot, Ennn - I may have a go at studying, crisis team tomorrow afternoon...how about you?

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 20/02/2015 20:32

Does it help if you do some breathing out and some stopping and looking at details/edges? It sounds a bit like the thing I get before I eat a meal but I can't quite explain how I calm myself down, only the things I've listed, and trying to slow myself down.
