I've been feeling poorly this evening. I was going to have a few beers as my working week has been reduced to 4 days (Friday off). It's nothing too bad, just an headache.

I can't spare any, being covered in mosquito bites myself

Really down.
Sometimes I take my dogs to my parents house because they have enough room to run around there, and it's a reason to visit. I did it quite a lot the first 18 months following having covid but over the last year or so I'm a lot better physically and can walk most days, but I still get fatigue and on days I just can't face walking I drive to my parents instead.
For context, if I didn't visit, they would never visit me or phone...
Anyway, we're always pleasant to each other, but my parents still don't ask after me...they don't really want to know..they talk AT me, never TO me, if you know what I mean?
I leave feeling really tired mentally from listening to them talk about their friends' lives and other relatives and so on and every time I think....Do they ever wonder what I do all day by myself?
It leaves me feeling terribly lonely that my elderly parents have much fuller lives than I do.

Aw, Nanuq. That is really sad that they don't ask after you sad because they're missing out on such wonderful feelings to feel about you and the lovely person that you are.

I saw in another thread about not knowing about your MA. This may sound strange but I feel proud of you (as a friend) to have been through so much recently and to be following your passions with your MA. And your love and kindness for your children. I'm in awe

[Rocket Spud]

Bored, agitated, restless, little bit down, little bit hungover and cold.

[Rocket Spud]

Really vague and tired, a bit under the weather. I think i've got a bug. I've been feeling off since Thursday evening.

[Dougella]

^ There is a bug going around, so many people seem to be getting it. I guess it's that time when the schools have gone back.

[Rocket Spud]

Bloody kids!

It's super annoying because it's mild enough to the point where i'm unsure whether i'm actually ill or not.

[Nanuq]

Thank you Biscuits! That's really kind of you

[Professor Willow]

Headachy and stuffy, I'm not sure if it's a bug coming on or just sinuses.

[biscuits]

I felt ever so tired this evening and my throat is starting to get sore. Noooo!!! Not winter colds already

[cymruambyth26]

Happy...because my friend I've known the longest is coming to stay for a weekend in a couple of weeks.

[anxiouslondoner]

As confused as Welsh spaghetti.

[Rocket Spud]

Irritated over firework wankers. It's been ongoing for over 20mins. Extremely loud. It's set off my give up on humanity thought cycle, lol.

Anxious
I thought morning anxiety was a thing of the past.

[Tembo]

^ I hope the rest of your day was less anxious!

I’ve currently got a cold, and it feels like no cold I’ve ever had before. To the point I thought it was Covid. Thankfully I’ve been testing, and both tests were negative. However, I’m more worried about work. Well, I’ve nothing to worry about, but it always makes me worried people think I’m faking it, being over dramatic, or whatever. I also know there are some people who think having a cold isn’t a good reason to take time off work. I also feel guilty that someone else would have had to do one of my gruelling tasks today in my absence. I’m also realising how much I’ll have to do when I get back to work (I was behind on things before I was ill). Then there’s the absence forms (yes, more than one!) I have to fill out when I return which bizarrely have some very complicated questions and also it’s like filling out a police form like I’ve done something wrong. Anyway, guess I should try to rest and think about all that later!

[Dougella]

^ People who think a cold isn't a good enough reason to be off work are the people who spread their colds to everyone else in the workplace! Hope you feel better soon, literally everyone seems to be getting a bug at the moment.

[LittleMissMouse]

Rubbish, I am failing epically at being a grown up at the moment. I'm just so overwhelmed by everything and not really coping. It's like that thing of being back at school and worrying about an exam but rather than just sit down and actually revise for it, you just sit there making an elaborate revision plan. That it was I am doing, rather than just getting on with things that actually need doing I'm just panicking about the fact that so much stuff needs doing.

[Existential Jam]

^ I recently googled an old friend and found out he was accomplished enough to have an enviable LinkedIn profile. As you can imagine, my self-esteem instantly plummeted to hell and I asked myself "Why? Why do I do this sh*t?"

[anxiouslondoner]

Lonely AF

[Percy]

Sorry you're lonely AL.
