The Coffee Shop (3)

[Celtic Camel]

just dropping in to give hugs and grab a coke...
luv you all

 

[Soulwings]

Lisa. Here's your Coke, nice and cold.

This is stupid o'clock. I swear my brain isn't working anymore.

/me sleepyly puts a pot of coffee on to brew

i love it that i am almost the first in the coffee shop to wake up in the morning It makes me feel good!
(Note: I am ignoring the act that the Australians have been up for hours and are nearly finished with today!)

For everyone this morning - how is everyone?

 

[beckybooiloveu]

hey! u cant ignore us! lol...

um, holidays end on the 18th for me... of this month

 

[Soulwings]

/me asks Ari if she could have an extra-caffeinated cup of coffee??
And yey for you being the first one in here ... you're awake earlier than I am Just got up actually, it's a quarter to seven and I got up at 6:10 (hit the snooze once, hehe). Had madly strange dreams. Did you sleep okay?

Bec. That's awhile for you to be pushing yourself at this pace.

I'm actually drinking chai right now. Yey chai!!

 

[Arianna]

We did miss you, Ari. I was thinking about you over the past few days and wondering what's been happening. How are things? And I'd love some chocolate & caramel tea, it sounds delicious!!
/me gets Ari a pretty mugful of steaming cinnaberry coffee

I'll have to think about that giving vs. taking thing for a bit. It's going to mean revising my whole way of thinking.

Oh, and Ari, the urges will eventually go away. If you've had to deal with them for longer than I have, then they'll probably take a little longer to go away ... but they will leave. And I don't really know how to describe how I stopped dwelling on it. I think it's just coming to the point where you realise that SI'ing isn't the most important thing in your world. You don't need to bow down before it like a sapling before a hurricane. You're strong. God's made you strong. And SI is something that is innately evil. It may not seem as such, but anything that makes you harm the body that God has gifted you with, as well as making you grow away from God, is from Satan. Jarrod had to pound that into me over and over and over again. Oof.

I need to go. But I'll post more later on that if I think of anything else helpful to say!!

/me curls up in the corner with lots of blankets and hoodies and handknit socks and scarves and Arnold to keep warm!!

Revising whole way of thinking --- you can do it you have done it in so many ways already.

...And, i hope you are right....i feel like I have felt this way/thought this way too long for it to change .... and i can cope with it right now. . . but not when things are more stressful .....
Thankingyou for the Cinnaberry coffee.

Twas truely excellent.

hey all... im soooo tired... i just got back from the gym... thats not why im tired though... more because i worked all day yesterday and had to get up at 4:30am to get to work... and then i got up early today for the gym and have tog et ready for work again... and i didnt sleep well at all last night... i kept waking up from bad dreams and then not being able to get back to sleep... *yawn*

Bec, careful not to over-do it :-(

hey! u cant ignore us! lol...

Mwa ha ha!!!!!!

we are so dedicated - posting so early in the morning!!!

You may indeed have extra-caffeinated coffee - that is actually the only kind I ever make.

I got up at 5.40 ... i think that was perhaps earlier than needed...and, i slept fine, just not for long enough!

Tra la la.

 

[texannurse]

Morning all!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I'll pop in later to see if anyone's around. In the meantime, I'll take a cup of peppermint tea for the road

P. S. Oliver sends his greetings!

 

[BrokenForHim]

morning ladies
*Gives everybody a flower

 

[texannurse]

Thanks for the flower.

 

[Arianna]

/me gives Tn peppermint tea.

 

[Soulwings]

I think I'm addicted to not only coffee, but to the coffee shop!! I get up early so I can come on here for a few minutes before I have to get breakfast ready and pack up for uni. I got up at 6am this morning - Ari, I think you need to sleep a little more!!! - I'm planning on trying to do yoga in the morning but so far I haven't had the "OOMPH" to do it... anyway ... I don't know what I'd do without you ladies, I really don't. s And neither does Arnold. He can't believe how accomodating you all have been with his diet!!

Thanks for the coffee, Ari. 'Twas much needed - and making only extra-caffeinated coffee sounds like a very good idea, indeed! I actually plopped down on the floor after breakfast this morning and napped for ten minutes before we had to leave ... this is while my caffeine pill was kicking in ... thank goodness for those or else I'd be quite messed up. (Perhaps I've spotted an addiction ... do ya think? )

Lindz. Thanks for the flower, m'dear. I wish we had flowers growing now ... I could do with violets or some lilies-of-the-valley to pick ... I love picking and arranging wildflowers. It's a nearly lost art, I think. Thankfully we live in the middle of nowhere with lots of fields (and woods) where flowers grow abundantly. (Plenty of dandelions, too! They taste good )

I suppose I should go off and do something productive, like study for the exam that I think I'm taking on Friday ... or maybe I'll just go out and chill and read for awhile. I don't know. I don't feel productive. *sheepish*

/me goes over to sit on the floor beside the fire to study some, with a glass of spiced cider close at hand, and a fat free yoghurt at her elbow.

 

[Quiddler]

/me tiptoes in to not disturb Soulwings, and goes over to the counter to fix a quadruplely caffeinated mocha, before curling up in a squishy armchair to read some poems by Shelley and Keats and Milton.

 

[Celtic Camel]

Q! so good to see you!!!



Celtic sneaks over to sit on the floor just to enjoy the presence of Quiddler & Soulwings.

 

[beckybooiloveu]

hey everyone...
hmm... im good at over- doing things... i got up at 4:50am this morning to go to the gym... fun fun... then i had work today ... we just had dinner (bleh) and i am about to go for a run... yay... lol... and then for a drive with my mum because i ahve my driving test tomorrow... :S im really scared about that... im probs going to faill...
how is everyone?

 

[Soulwings]

Aww Bec Try not to be of the mindset that you'll fail ... although I know what you mean! I've not taken my driver's test yet, and I'm sure that I'm going to fail ... which is basically the only reason I've not scheduled a time yet. Silly me. But I'm sure you'll do fine. Maybe not go for a run the same day that you've worked out at the gym?? Your body needs a rest even if your mind is constantly going going going. I know that you think you're fat (and I also know that that is a blatant lie - you're not fat and you're gorgeous), but even people who are overweight can't exercise all the time. If you overwork your body you're going to have to tolerate the results, now or later. Hard on joints, tearing of ligaments, things like that. Hehe... oops I did go off on a bit of a lecture. :o [/lecture]

Love you, girl. Take care of yourself, okay?

/me huggles Lisa.
Anything I can get you to drink? And how are you?? *hug*

I'm doing okay. I just got up after having vivid dreams/nightmares again. Ugh. And soon I need to get lunch together and eat breakfast and all those good morning things.

/me curls up in the corner, determined to finish At the Back of the North Wind sooner rather than later. A cup of steaming chai is on the low bamboo table beside her along with another fat free yoghurt.

* Arnold snuggles up in the corner, sleepy, but ready to give hugs to anyone who wants them!!

 

[beckybooiloveu]

hmmm.... i need the exercise... i have been doing the whole gym, run and other exercises (after the run) for a week or two now... *sigh*... *yawn*
im going to go to bed now... its 10:20pm and my driving instructor is picking my up at 6:50am to take me to my test... :S... please keep my in your prayers if you have time!

 

[Quiddler]

I agree with Soulwings, Bec. You don't need that much exercise. It's only going to wear your body down.

Lisa. Good to see you again, too! How are you?

Anyone want a mocha? I'm going to fix up another quadruplely caffeinated one ... I'm sooo tired. And I've got tons of work to do ... but I've been working all morning so right now I'm going to sit down and rest.

/me relaxes in a circle chair with lots of pillows and nibbles on her pen while trying to think of things to write poems about.

i also think that I need to sleep a bit more! But, this morning I woke up at 5.45 instead of 5.40 - And, as such, didn't have time to come to the coffee shop before I went out!!!!!!!!!!

i think that is too much excercise Bec
How was the driving test? (did you do it yet? i am totally time disorientated)

I would love a mocha please

/me hugs Arnold. I love you strange domestic panda.
