Happy almost-weekend every-amazing-one! It is always so awesome to hear from you! 
How are you feeling today? :)
Do you have any plans for this weekend? Maybe just relaxing a bit? :)
The weather is getting really cold around here so I have to resort to a lot of hot tea and hot cocoa and/or chocolate lately :P
Do you like hot drinks? What is your favourite hot drink? :)

@redmark hot chocolate is my favourite hot drink
Hey there @CaringBrit *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I do like hot chocolate as well I just, well, honestly lazy usually to make it so I just settle with cocoa. :P
Stay awesome!
@redmark hugs im ok with it just full of cold been fighting one off since october and aww
@redmark
Hi redmark, thanks for the check-in! 😋
🐰 Today, I'm feeling great! I just finished another batch of papers ready to be passed. I also woke up on the right side of the bed today so I'm feeling happy!
🐰 For the weekend, maybe I'll go out by myself just to stroll around and buy my fave Taro Milk Tea. Just go out for a bit for a change in scenery.
🐰 It's also cold where I am (well compared to usual tropical days I got used to) and I really really love hot choco! Bunnie's tumtum not like coffee, it hates it *hissss* 🤮☕️
🌼 Hoping you are doing great! 🌼
@BunnieLuv heyy bunnie
@CaringBrit Hi brit!
Hey there @BunnieLuv *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always so nice to hear from you around here!
I am really glad to hear that you are have had such a nice and restful sleep and such a godd day today. Good job getting that batch of papers done as well! ^-^
Oh, I like to go for walks as well just for the sake of it! Although, I always take some music with myself for those walks but either way I like the idea and Taro Milk Tea sounds pretty nice as well :)
Hot chocolate is awesome for sure and probably my first choice too if I am not lazy to make it - which makes it a rare thing actually :P
I do not like coffee either. I do not have any specific problems with it, I just never got into it and almost never drink it to this day.
Stay awesome!
How are you feeling today? I'm feeling alright
Do you have any plans for this weekend? Maybe just relaxing a bit? I work all weekend, But I will be taking time for myself.
Do you like hot drinks? What is your favourite hot drink? I enjoy many, But coffee has my heart.
@Tinycupcake hey cupcake good to hear your alright and taking time for yourself sounds awesome what do you plan to do
@CaringBrit Having a nice relaxing candlelight bath. My get my hair cut. I'm do for some change.
@Tinycupcake sounds relaxing
Hey there @Tinycupcake *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
We are really glad to have you here with us!
I am glad to hear that you are feeling alright although I am sorry to hear that you will need to work through the weekend but I hope you will be able to have some nice self-care time in there for yourself as well! :)
I do not have any problem with coffee but I have never really got into it so I rarely drink any of it even to this day but the smell of it can be really nice at times for sure ^-^
Stay awesome!
@redmark I love hugs <3
How are you feeling today? not a good day, I had a bad night, did things I shouldn't have. Now I feel ashamed, guilty and depressed.
Plans for the weekend. It's cold and supposed to rain. I hate rain. So I'll probably prowl the house and try to stay out of trouble.
Hot drinks... coffee all the way although I do like hot chocolate, but there has to be marshmallows
Hey there @mytwistedsoul *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. You know tho relapsing is okay. I know and I can say that youi are a true fighter and even at hardest of times you always try your best and if anything, I am really proud of you for it. :)
Oww, cold rain is the worst. I am sorry to hear that you are most likely looking forward to such weather. I hope it will turn out better for you or, even if it will rain, you could try to read a book or watch some shows? What do you like to do in your free time?
Coffee is nice but I never really got into drinking it so to this day I do not really drink coffee or just very rarely. I can totally stand behind that concept of hot chocolate with marshmallows being aweosme tho! ^-^
Anyhow, I want you to know that it is okay to feel the way you are feeling and that you do not have to do this alone, we all are here for you no matter what and together we can get through this. I believe in it and I do believe in you! :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark Thank you for the vote of confidence and words of encouragement. It's nice to have someone to believe you even if you don't believe in yourself. I'm just not sure if it matters any more, but thank you. I don't watch tv much, I do like to read but lately that hasn't worked cause I end up reading the same paragraph. I enjoy woodworking but I'm keeping myself away from that at the moment because of temptation.
There's something almost welcoming about the smell of coffee. I don't know, guess that's weird.
Thanks again. Have a good weekend.
@mytwistedsoul I know, right? I do not really drink coffee but I absolutely love the smell of it as well! :)
What is your favourite book? I mean, there is this really interesting site that one of my co-workers have showed me, >TasteDive< which can suggest you similar books and/or authors even based on books you love. :)
I mean, I mainly use it with music as I am always backed up with books aaand don't even let me start on movies or shows as I never have the time for those but still, I found it really helpful to find new and interesting things. :)
@redmark can you read books on that site
@CaringBrit No, I mean TasteDive basically allows you to take a dive based on your taste by suggesting similar books/movies/music for you based on a title or artist you are providing.
I have found it useful to explore and find new things actually but you still have to get whatever it suggests.
@redmark I just wanted to thank you for the tastedive link. They have alot of stuff to check out. Thanks again.
@mytwistedsoul sorry to hear its not a great day for you , hate the rain too myself as for hot chocolate its marshmallows squirty cream and a flake must me in my hot chocolate xd
@CaringBrit all it does is rain anymore. The cream is good right out of the can too. Have a good weekend.
@mytwistedsoul lol ik i used to squirt cream from can to my mouth too tasty lol
@CaringBrit I still do
Thank you @CaringBrit and @ redmark for talking with me. Gave me a little spot of sunshine.
@mytwistedsoul Yw anytime
Hi! Not doing too great, as i had messed up my sleep schedule once again and can't ever feel ok. Going on a trip to Cancun on monday with friends. Feels crazy. But mostly, just stressed about what attractions to see. Everything is so expensive! But friends really want it all. So we're booking 5 tours. Ahhh I'm too lazy and getting broke.
I really can't hold a job. I don't like to! I get anxiety, stressed, all of that when having to work the same thing everyday, but still being unpredictable in how bad the day will be (retail). I fear i will regret quitting soon enough after seeing an empty bank account. I just can't say no. I let my friends go to expensive places, and i dont even enjoy it.
I messed up the booking of a reservation for one of the trips, and ahhh i don't want to deal with it. The people said there is a fee but friends say it should be free. I don't want to confront people is what it is. Just take my money
@Skyy0 seems like alot is going on right now for you Skyyo thats alot to face i cqan see why you dont want too deal with it
Hey there @Skyy0 *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
We are really glad to have you here with us!
Oww, messing up sleep schedules is way too easy if you ask me. I mean, I am really good at it anyways as well and having a hard time always when I need to go back to work after even a short break but I have found that even if I just go to bed and, you know, get some rest even if not sleep it still helps me get through the next day and then I guess the tiredness just kind of takes effect and pushes me back to my usual schedule. I mean, not optimal solution but actually works for me so I thought I would share.
Honestly, I am not a big fan of travelling. I mostly have the things I like at home or around the places I visit on a daily bases - which I would not count as travelling - without all those expenses. Of couse, I can see that it is more what your friends want and, honestly, it sounds one and, who knows, it may compensate you and give you some nice memories and with that energy and motivation to move on. Or, well, one can hope :P
I mean, I do really just wish you to have fun there anyway and probably to get some sort of energy from it as well. :)
Retail jobs are really hard. I mean, I had some student jobs for like a few months for summer and I suppose they were really taking it easy on us as students but people can just be...rude and not really considerate of you so I can understand that it is hard for you. I am wondering, what would a good job look for you? I mean, if you can define it maybe you can find ways to start to work for it and with that feel less stuck :)
Confronting people, esepcially those who are close to you is really hard as well - or just saying 'no' by that matter. I mean, it took me a loong time to at least be able to say no to a few small things but I have found that people usually respect it. It is a work in progress but it would be probably worth it to you to not say 'no' straight up but just talk with one of your friends, the one closest to you, and kind of lead them on that you have some financial problems or at least you are not sure if you are able/should spend so much money on trips like this until you are able to work those out. I mean, for me it definitely sounds logical and the thing is once you have had this conversation with that closest friend of your I am sure they would be glad to help you to tell it to everyone else as well and stand up for you even if you may need it :)
These are just ideas tho, there is no pressure on you :)
Stay awesome!
Heya @redmark ! Hot chocolate sounds awesome! It's one of my favourite hot drinks too, especially the salted caramel hot chocolae from Starbucks. Yum!
I'm doing alright. I went to my counselling appointment today. My therapist seems genuinely interested in what I have to say, and is very helpful. I feel like I'm really going to heal. Also, I got paid doble over the holidays from work. I didn't have a significantly high amount of hours, but at least I got something.
I'm going to call in sick to work tomorrow. I don't care if I feel fine or fit enough to work. I have no voice, and when I try to speak, I get voice cracks and it cuts in and out as a whisper most times. If I can't talk, then I can't do my job properly.
Aside from hot chocolate from and outside of Starbucks, I also enjoy the Starbucks Chai Tea Latte. It's fantastic!!
Alrighty. that's all from me for now. Take care!
Hey there @CentreMid *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
We are really glad to have you around here!
Now you are making me want to go out for some hot chocolate :P - although, it is past midnight here so I suppose it has to wait for now but I do agree with you that it sounds awesome! ^-^
I am glad to hear that you are doing alright and I am really happy to hear that you have found a therapist like that. It can be hard sometimes and take times to find someone you click with like that and it is always really nice to hear anyway. I do hope you will find it helpful and that little extra money for the holidays definitely sounds good to have as well! :)
I mean you are not "fit" enough for your job then if you are working with your voice and you do not have it right now so I guess it is totally reasonable to call in. I do hope that your voice comes back soon tho after giving it some rest. :)
Honestly, I have to admit that I have never been in a Starbucks before. I guess it is mainly because they are a coffee chain and I very rarely drink coffee so I have felt like I have no reason to go there but their hot chocolate may be worth a try :)
Stay awesome!
