Fair enough. You know yourself better than anyone on here. Good luck fr. I really hope it works out for you.

Sorry hope my appreciation came across there. I've strived to try the natural things over the years but with Covid it was time to bite the bullet. As I said I only tried once but now it's just putting off the inevitable.

No need to be sorry fr. You didn't say anything to offend me. You come across well to me. All the best.

Chilling out in the hotel lobby down in Castlebar in County Mayo, away for the weekend for my partner's birthday tomorrow. Long weekend away.

Gonna take a nice hot bath before bed.

Sounds fabulous.
I'd never have a bath at home but a hotel bath always seems a luxury.
Enjoy it!

Time for sleep here. Goodnight and try to be kind in your lives as much as possible earthlings. It really is the best and most worthwhile human trait.

One thing that has worked for me as far as focusing on what you don't have is a little mantra I have that I have learned to tell myself in times of struggle. "I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge and a bed to sleep in. I am halfway there already. Everything is ok" We can at times take things like that for granted.

Thanks W, I do try to be grateful all the time. It's like I am fine and very grateful, but the anxious side of my mind is always thinking of tomorrow. When in normal circumstances you may worry about things sure but you live in the moment mainly as anything could happen good or bad so what's the point in worrying?

Did you post over in the illness thread?
You might get some similar stories to yours and some encouragement.

I hope your Dad is ok Perse. I am former Guy Person and current Wayne Jarvis. I am very tired and am going to bed so please follow Tyrant's advice and be quiet. Night night.

I wondered where you were, nice to see you back and goodnight.

Jeez starting to worry about the whole Covid situation again with this evening's stats, well we haven't been outside the door since last Friday, will go out for groceries again tomorrow and then both of us working from home again for the week so won't see a soul here in the sticks, alot to be said for rural isolation

Yeah, I had kind of switched off from the doom and gloom while still being sensible, but I think a second wave is rapidly approaching. The worst will happen when more of us go back to our work places and schools reopen.

I know the country can't close down indefinitely from both a social and economic perspective, but a lot of people seem to think it was all an overreaction and it's blown over.

I don't think I could handle a lockdown in winter.

In a way though it would actually be grand IMO, inside with a big fire lighting, do working from home during the day, out for a walk in the crisp clean air with a warm jacket on you in the afternoon/evening, then back for a lovely warm stew, roast chicken dinner, and back to sit by the fire for the night reading a good book

Not for me I think, I just imagine endless dark mornings and evenings with nothing to do with all your free time. The good weather at the start of the last one really lifted my spirits and motivated me to be productive. Even sitting out in the sun looking at nature come to life was entertaining, winter just seems dreary in comparison.

It's out of our control though, we just have to hope enough people have cop on.

I know what you're saying and alot of people would be of the same opinion but for us we're enjoying the fact that we don't have to commute to the office, our time is our own once we get our work done from home and loving where we live is a big part of it, plenty to do once we shut down the work laptop, out for a four mile walk around our rural area here.

Yea, I'm starting to get nervous again. I had a look in the Kerry thread earlier and there's a post about American tourists in Dingle yesterday.
It's really tough when you have been so disciplined and foregone so many of life's little pleasures and then hear of international travellers from a currently 'hot' country are coming here.
Anyhow, we better not derail this thread, there's plenty of CoVid threads. Just wanted to say I understand the nerves.
Night everyone.

No doubt that this is true for a lot of us.
I do think a lot if people are getting complacent. There will be spikes and I hope they can spot them and do localised lockdowns.

On the couch, sure where else! Ended up going to get groceries yesterday and I got some stuff delivered for the apartment so I think I have most things at this stage! Let's not think about how broke I am now

I hope the chemo goes as well as it can for your work wifey Jack.

Ah Perse I hope the daddy will be ok soon, maybe a blood transfusion is what he needs.

I've been on prozac since I was fifteen years old, over half my life so definitely go for it Fr, it's not a cure but it takes the edge off and anything that can help is worth it.

I wonder where olddog is these days? And Witchie?

Phoenix32 · 10-07-2020 12:26pm

I hope you get good news soon Perse.

I'm after washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, bathroom and surfaces, put away washing and I put on a wash. Jesus I am dead. I tried to empty the hoover but the button is broken on it. Now time to sit and recover

Jaysus Phoenix, I'm knackered after reading that! I've yet to motivate myself to shift my booty in any constructive way today. The dishwasher needs emptying. That's easy, so I'll start there.

Fingers crossed for your Dad, Perse.

Having a wild time here: earlier, I went into a supermarket for the first time since 10th March. I was starting to worry about how paranoid I was about catching the virus what with all my autoimmune issues, so I bravely offered to do my great-uncle's shopping for him. I mean I went during the special opening hours for high risk people - I'm not crazy enough to go during normal times yet - but hey, it's a start.

Now recovering from the adrenaline rush that came from (socially distant) mingling with the general public by eating chocolate and flicking through netflix.

IamMetaldave · 10-07-2020 2:56pm

Deskside, drinking cans of Starbucks Double Espresso.. the stuff is like crack! Typing my out of office for next.

Thanks to Perse, I googles dry socket...:(:eek: (I wish there was poop emoji on boards ha!).

Tunes - 80s rock playlist \m/
