Hello all I’ve been unable to read or post for a couple of days as a huge full screen ad for Qatar kept popping up and I couldn’t get rid of it! Have been complaining to admin without much success but I’ve worked out how to hide it at least temporarily when it appears now.
Now I’m very behind so apologies if I miss anything significant.
It was my birthday yesterday and I was quite grumpy most of the day. Not sure why that was but the gifts that had obviously been bought at the last minute didn’t help haha! Even DD who is normally an excellent shopper bought me a pair of trainers identical to ones I already own (that she bought!) just in a slightly different colour so now I’ll have to return them. We went out for dinner last night with our neighbours and that was nice so the day ended well.
My brother’s flu has turned to full blown man flu so he’s not visiting mum or available to help ferry her to appointments and I’m feeling resentful. We are supposedly having a replacement Christmas gathering after NY but ‘he’ll have to see how he feels’. Insert eye roll here!
@Penguinsa I hope floof feels better soon! I’m keeping an eye on one of my cats who seems to be drinking and sleeping more than usual though it is around 30 degrees most days and she’s still in good spirits when awake.
@TopOfTheCliff quiet quitting sounds like the best way to deal with your unkind friends. I am trying to broaden my friendship circles but did find I lost a few during cancer and a couple of friends have written me off now I’m not working. I hope they never have a medical condition derail their careers!
@FairyWren7 one of my dear friends has two miniature schnauzers that are rescued and she keeps us entertained with their exploits and emotional neediness. I too love a good night out but I feel guilty afterwards about not looking after myself well enough. It’s not ideal for a regular lifestyle but certainly fun on occasion!
