Are you a stoner who wakes-and-bakes all weekend with snacks and takeaways on the go or are you more of an outdoors-y/meet-with-mates type?

[rusticgal]

Now I no longer work weekends...Saturday is either catch up with friends day or catch up on telly day with a Saturday Night Takeaway. Sunday in the Summer months is BBQ or a drive out day and in the Winter its a football in the Morning followed by Sunday lunch at home or at a local pub...

...but not today because I am recovering from Covid.

Depends how close to pay day it's been or is.

I go mental first week or 2, and do about 4 of those items available.

Maybe drop down to 1 or 2 as pay day approaches.


Get well soon rustic, kick its nasty bottom like us men, who have been living with this type of flu for years and years.

Lol....Im feeling better as we speak but I have had a really rough 4 days considering I have been double jabbed. I still do not have any sense taste or smell...and you know me my Taste is usually Spot on..

But Thanks Parmy...

I’m just about staying zen and relaxed during the weekend. I have my extroverted moments but for the most part I tend to be one of those Netflix-marathon types. I catch up with mates in the flesh at least once or twice during the weekend so there’s always something outdoors-y for me to do (being quite the casual drinker helps with that) but being an introvert-leaning ambivert I need time to do my own thing. Sometimes I’m not sure whether to have an outdoors-y or indoors-y weekend. It just depends how I’m feeling.

Get well soon rusticgal, by the way.

The 4th last choice is weird.

I think it’s pretty rich of you of all people to call someone else’s posts weird.

Saturday family time mostly, Sundays is mainly taken up with the weekly shop/getting kids school stuff organised etc... it's probably my busiest day of the week .

We used to like going for dog walks / going to the beach / general outdoors things but that's been ****ed recently because of my foot. Sigh. So most weekends we've been going for long drives/taking picnics etc.

It's not the post, the post is great.
It's just that choice about weddings just jumps out of nowhere.

I've voted anyway for you poll statistics.

My weekends now are mainly being a taxi service to various, football matches, athletics meets, school prep etc etc. If I'm lucky, I'll squeeze in drinks once in a while if I have a sitter.

I (sometimes) miss the days of weekends starting Thursday evenings with approx 2 hours sleep between then and sunday

If I'd had some of Annie's special mushrooms.

Ehhhh DON'T get me started . It's a mess really, the break was small but in a complex place and I basically tore/ruptured every tendon and ligament in my foot and they're not healing brilliantly, possible that I'll need surgery eventually. I've had three rounds of X-rays and a CT scan, I have another consultant orthopedics appointment tomorrow to go over more CT results. It's been 3+ months

Helpful diagram:

Spoiler:

It doesn't help that the NHS is in a worse state than I thought with all the Covid delays, it takes 2 weeks to get one appointment, and then 2 week wait for a scan, and then 2 week wait for the appointment to discuss the scan... and so on...

I can hobble about OK in a boot (one of these big bastards below, it weighs an absolute tonne, I call it my Thanos Boot) which is fine at home and I can even limp my way round a supermarket now which is better than nothing, but I basically can't walk anywhere outdoors because the surface has to be perfectly flat or my foot will flex backwards and cause shooting pains. Would just like to go for a walk on the damn beach .

This is the best I have felt for 5 days...Thursday I got up for 2 hours and had to go back to bed...only ever done that once in my life before. On weds night I hardly slept because I had the worst headache ever and actually thought my head was going to explode...I have had no taste or smell since Weds morning which prompted the Covid test...I have been Nauseous throughout/upset stomach/blocked sinus and yesterday it went to my chest but fortunately not as bad as I was preparing for...I did get a bit scared and had a couple of tears.
Anyway had another dodgy nights sleep last night and felt so sick again this morning...and SO WEAK. But now within hours I feel almost back to normal apart from the energy levels and no taste or smell...If I'm honest I didnt think I was going to feel that bad considering Ive had both jabs....

Lol....sorry you did ask

Poor you....the Hospitals are inundated and so much to catch up on. They say torn Tendons are worse than a break. Lets hope that when your turn comes the damage is still repairable...
