    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    My life would be so much easier if I coud sleep. I want to have moved house already. I'm not looking forward to these next few months, even if my T is. Everything is exhausting. It's okay saying it'll be over soon, but that's not much comfort when I'm living it.

    Insert Swearish Rant Here

    No, you don't come to work while you're still throwing up from gastorenteritis. I don't give a sh*t how bad your sick record is! It is not acceptable for you to say you'll just stay away from people- you work in a service industry you idiot! Gastroenteritis is a vile condition and can actually...

    Insert Swearish Rant Here

    What the f*ck? I'm spending a bloody fortune and a whole lot of time and stress on getting this house ready for sale and just when it's nearly done the back door splinters! Splinters! Like f*cking matchsticks. Really? Do I really need this? What a useless piece of sh*t.

    Head cold, anyone? let's commiserate!

    Me too. I'm just beginning to feel better, but I'm sick to death of blowing gunk out of my nose. At least the fever only lasted twelve hours. Twelve hours of uncontrollable shivering was not fun.

    A thread for scientific nerdiness

    It's not really science nerdiness, more mathmatics, but I've just read a really cool book. Did you know that the Pythagorian theorem quite likely wasn't invented by Pythagorus at all, but that he was the leader of a weird cult that worshipped numbers?

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    I really should think about dating the open stuff in the fridge. I may have burnt the crumbs in the grill, but on the upside I found out my smoke alarm still works!:rolleyes: I think I'm stuck between fine and not fine. A day out of town is needed- bookshops and cafes to destress. Just wish I...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    That job needed doing, but now I hurt. Too tired to do coursework, but it's okay. Will I get sick of too many creme eggs. Do I care? It'd be nice if the weather would stabilise. I don't like hanging on for another possibe cold spell. Actually, make that very tired.

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    I need to figure out what's going on in my head. Every time I approach a certain subject it refuses to go nearer. I don't even know what it is about that subject that's causing it, or even if it is that subject. It's bleeding out into other areas of my life, which could do real damage long term...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Considering how awful yesterday morning was, the evening made up for it. I had so much fun. I managed to catch up a bit with coursework today, after yesterday's wipe out. Think carving granite with a nail file. I wish it was warmer. I want to tidy the garden but I just can't face the cold...

    What Made You Angry Today?

    The train company that didn't tell me they'd cancelled my train, then forced me to pay a processing fee and postage for the refund, plus the excess cost on the new tickets. As if any of it was my fault! :mad::arghh;

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    Today was supposed to be a good day. I can't believe they cancelled my train and didn't tell me. The injustice of being made to pay for something that wasn't my fault. I can feel the anger still inside me. It's making my head hurt. I need to put this away. I've got something on later.

    Food thread! how has trauma played into food behaviors?

    Food has been a big issue all my life, because of neglect when I was a baby. I've a whole childhood of weird food habits, leading to near death from gastorenteritis combined with malnutrition because I consistently refused to eat. Later, ocd-like behaviour where I would literally only eat the...

    How do you like your coffee best? or do you prefer tea?

    Tea- loose leaf Russian Caravan blend (yes I am a tea snob), preferably with a slice of carrot cake. This morning I made myself a homemade savoury cream tea- 2 cheese scones, butter, cheddar, soft cheese, a celery stick and chilli chutney, with a pot of tea. That's how tea should really be had!;)

    Happy “fat tuesday”

    I made up a batch of pancake batter and then 'accidentally' worked my way through the lot. You can't beat traditional english pancakes with lemon and sugar. Dinner tonight's going to be nothing more than soup.

    Need to cut back on the cake. It is not a staple food! Getting a little tired of the cold. At least I have firewood now. Shrove Tuesday tomorrow. Pancakes aren't cake, are they? Just because they have the word cake in them...:whistling: ....

    Please explain minimising.

    I do this a lot. Particularly with past events. The way I imagine it, it's crushing a mountain down to the size of a molehill, and then going over it with a steamroller. It is a way to protect myself from the memories. If the event wasn't a big deal then it can't have affected me, I don't need...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    It's a take-it-easy day today. I finally used the recipe I've been carrying around for years to make my first ever carrot cake. It's :hungry:. Washing up, my oldest mixing bowl fell off the draining board and smashed into splinters.:( Weirdly I didn't react at all. I think I should be sad that...
