Tea? (Part 2)

[Lullabelle]

Lots of peeps on this thread know lots about cats and animals. Leo is looking very agitated and nervous. Two doors down the road some workmen are dismantelling scaffolding. Leo is always very nervous about the sound of ladders being extended, or similar unidentifiable noises. In the light of his nervousness, does the panel think do you agree with me that he would be better off in a cattery when there is work being done on the roof of this house?

He is used to going there, and it would be quiet, warm, and peaceful. So although he would be in a cage (albeit a very large cage) would he prefer that do you think? Strangely though, he is not at all bothered by the noise of fireworks.

If he is used to going to a cattery then it might be a good idea, noise outside can hidden from in the house but the the work is actually on the house then he doesn't have a sactuary.

On amber days are you allowed to go for a spray tan?

No, you can only drink beer and whisky....

So it's Port and Absinthe on the other days then.

Absinthe rots your brain......port, I can cope with though

I wondered what had caused it

Absinthe rots your brain......port, I can cope with though

My brother got me an absinthe in a pub once. I knew something was up when I saw the barman shake his hand.

I got a blunt reminder of my 'brain rot' today.

I was helping a friend move her washing machine when her friend called in. Apparently she knew me as I had done a lot of work for her in the past and she also recommended me to a friend of hers where I also did some work.
I don't remember either of them, nor the work.

I am having quite a and panicky day today.
I had to phone HMRC this morning and I couldn't answer the helpline's questions. I couldn't remember when I last did a tax return, when I last saw my accountant, if I'd told him I was signed off sick, or when I last worked.
Then I was scared to go out, to help out my friend, and was going to not bother when she text me to ask when I was going. That made me have to get my arse in gear and go out. That was quite a serious panic attack.

I just want to curl up in a hole somewhere so the world will leave me alone.

If it helps, I quite often have a mental block along similar lines, in that I won't recognise someone I've met before when I see them "out of context". No problem at all seeing them in a work situation or wherever but in a pub or in the street my mind just goes blank. Highly embarrassing!

I know that feeling and it is quite often this time of year that it is worst.

With Arch to help, you are in a good position to fight off the black dogs of despair.

I have that 'out of context' lack of recognition of a face but this is a complete loss of the memories of the events, the people and the work. She describe the some of the jobs I have done at their houses and I just have no memory of doing it.

I had the same thing a couple of months ago when Arch and I visited a friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for a few years. She mentioned the her kitchen that I had worked on and I couldn't remember doing it. Then, at least, I could remember some of it as random acts but today I just have no memory at all of the jobs.

I am really glad Arch is about, she gives me so many good reasons to not give up all together.

Oh, that's different and I can understand it must be worrying.

I wish I could do more to help...

Can you get in touch with the accountant and ask him for the info you need about dates etc?

In other news, I've pulled a muscle, but I think it'll be alright with a night's rest. Knackering long day today.

@Arch have you seen this? (Post number 25)

I need to contact HMRC and I can't even pick up the phone..........

I get bits of amnesia. Most recently I went off on a rant (I was later told). I don't remember a thing about it. I have a horrid feeling that I went off along the lines of those stupid illogical negative thoughts that I would never act on - I'd use CBT cos I know the "symptoms". I'm wondering if I just did the CBT but my mouth didn't stop..........
You are not alone NT. With your desire to get better - you will. But it is hard work and tough going
