Re: Thursday Coffee and Chat-- 28th may 2026

Hi @Taali im feeling pretty good right now

was planning on going to the pathology tomorrow morning to take a histamine blood test but I’ll see.

it will at a pathology that’s an hour away in total by catching the trains + 7-8 min walk.

i was told that’s the pathology clinic that has the freezer.
and the histamine test requires you to freeze it immediately so I need to go to that one at some point.
ideally before free public transport comes to an end next monday hehe

Good morning 🌄 @Blackcloud

Glad you're feeling good right now. I hope that lasts even with your travelling to and from appointments.

Hope pathology tests go well.

Cheers, Taali

Good idea to use free public transport while you can!

Thank you @Taali yeah I hope the travel I’ll be doing within the 7-8am timeframe possibly tomorrow morning won’t be too bad. I do hope there’s many people on the train I’ll be heading to the pathology place too. It can be pretty scary being on a train carriage that’s pretty empty or almost empty. I’ve never been on that train line before myself either so hopefully there’s a number of people taking that train line *fingers crossed* 🤞

Hello @creative_writer . How you

Hi @GezzaP

Sleep is a wonderful thing.

I'm trying all sorts of mind games with myself to try to get more than a few hours each night.

AND the other strategies: new pillows, new and washed linen, soft music, no music, reading, not reading, meditating, not meditating, staying up late, settling down early, scented candles, cool fresh air, warm air conditioner.

When I find the answer I'll definitely share here.

Wishing all well. T 💋

@GezzaP I hope things keep normalising for you. I'm still feeling low, but overall doing better than I was. Today did hit a bit heavy with trauma triggers, but I'm doing better today.

@Taali sleep hygiene can be really helpful. I find minimising blue light can be helpful, I wear blue light blocking glasses and having dimmer lights. I have bipolar, so I'm super sensitive to light. I hope you find something that works

Glad you are doing better @creative_writer . What I need now is another hour or

two of sleep.

Thank you @creative_writer

I'm hoping that once I get over the neck pain which causes sh!awful headaches I might sleep.

The pain in my neck coincidentally began after foot surgery. Go figure....

Trying acupuncture next week, which seems forever away. But I have managed this for nearly 7 weeks now so in all reality I only have to cope for a few more days.

Trying not to overdo it with meds. But often give in after a couple of hours of struggling.

What a long message. Sorry about that.

T 💋
