Well... as much as it sucks to have to get your friend´s mom to come and get her I´m very glad that you were sober enough to take care of her. Don´t think about your former clients too much if you can - even you really can only be in one place at once.
 
Thanks LaMa - wish I could switch off but I've heard two of mine are in hospital after suicide attempts and I can't help but think that if I'd been there to answer the phone.. well, no sense dwelling. It is a job, at the end of the day, but it's my true, true passion and I feel very strongly for all of my young people.

Right, I have redeemed myself today! Went to the Jazz bar and had peppermint tea whilst everyone else had wine (apart from scrummy Yank who is always in solidarity with me) and food has been great. I've meal-prepped for the next 3 days of lunches and my mum sent me a link for a free box of food from HelloFresh which is where they send you all the pre-measured ingredients to make three days worth of dinners and all of them are lovely and low calorie. Trying chicken shawarma with dukkah courgettes, mexican super-food cottage pie (?!) and mushroom and pancetta gnocchi. All for free! Must remember to cancel it as it's very expensive otherwise..

Me and Yank have worked in the study since 15:00 and now heading out to a friends for a couple of hours. Home-made soup packed in my bag ready to eat there! Will log food now so it's done.. very low cal day but well needed after a weekend of gluttony!

3 digit cals with 5 digit steps doesn't sound like fun. Great job on your weight loss so far this year! Don't starve!
 
I agree with Q. That sounds pretty miserable. But it definitely helps make up for the bad days!
 
It really is not that bad. I do all my eatings in the evening. I like a few super low-cal days after a few days of shit eating. I get lots of fruit and veg and I'd eat more if I was really hungry. Had a productive day again, work was good and I got a lot done - made a delicious chicken shawarma dish which was gorgeous. Calories will be higher tomorrow, have a friend coming to stay :) I made two ingredient banana pancakes today which were really healthy and so delicious.

Banana and egg? I used to do that and they´re delicious! Add some blueberries and you don´t even need syrup :p Shame I´m allergic to bananas these days...

In a bit of a funk this evening - have a few mins before my friend gets here so having a vent. Basically, I had supervision today and someone from my office at work has gone to my manager and said that I came in yesterday and said "I was talking about a service user in the pub on Saturday." I'm completely bewildered - I told my colleagues about my weekend and that a lot of it had been spent in the pub but I have no idea why one of them has said I mentioned talking about a service user... like, even if I did that on the weekend why on earth would I say that in a sentence. I remember clearly the conversation I had when I got in yesterday and I literally just said I'd been in the pub all weekend.

I feel like one of two things has happened. 1. someone has misheard me (despite 7 other people being in the room and no one else challenging or commenting on it at the time..mainly because nothing like that was said!!...) and instead of talking to me in person has gone to my supervisor. or 2. someone is purposefully fucking with me.

So either way I'm a bit pissed off. And a little upset. I always speak to people in person if I have a problem (or email/text/phone) and find it hard to believe that someone, knowing I'm technically a student right now and still learning, has misheard me and not considered pulling me up on it there and then or speaking to me about it in private. All a bit bewildering. It's a shame as it means I've had no opportunity to let them know they've misheard me. I just can't understand how they've got what I said so wrong. I'm hoping it wasn't done out of spite..

*will now overthink for a thousand years*

Will pop back to post food if I have time later
 
Oh, Han. There must be something in the air. I just mentally flew over & gave whoever it was a big earful & a mental slap! *hugs* xoxo

Glad I'm not alone folks. Thanks as always for the support.

Ate a good amount today for a change. Made a new recipe I'd not tried with sweet potato which was gorgeous. Had a horrible day doing safeguarding/mental capacity stuff..a lot of learning done but feeling tired and a bit bleh now. Did an hours walk on my lunch as extra exercise today.

Taking Yank to the orchestra tomorrow night so won't post until later in the evening. Theeeen I'm off work on Friday to take my mum to this country music thing in London to see Brad Paisley. She is adorably obsessed with him. We are getting a hotel and having some mutti and daughter time. Then going back to my parents the following day to see my dad and not home til Sunday. Food choices should be good. Scales are kind today after a few days low cal so I'm confident I'll lost at least a pound this week.

I'm glad you are going to have some special time in the next few days Hana. Enjoy, hon xoxo
 
Country music is such an ingrained part of the southern U.S. that it always seems odd when I hear of a fan elsewhere. I'd enjoy the orchestra as long as it wasn't pops, but I would pay good money not to go to a country concert. I like a bit of old country out of childhood nostalgia, but that's it. My mother went to the country music awards and loves Brad Paisley too.

I had to look up punnet. I only know it from genetic phenotype determinations (Punnet square). We call containers of berries by their size. A pint of strawberries or half-pint. The big things of berries we call flats which probably sounds odd to you since that's what you call what we refer to as apartments. Cultural linguistic variation is interesting.

Have fun in your travels! Tell your Mama a Texan says Howdy!
