Mushu doesn’t like the idea of getting out of a nice warm comfy spot and going t’coalface either.
It is, however, Monday, and time for another Monday thread! So, before you bring dishonour on you, dishonour on your family, and indeed dishonour on your cow, come on in and have a chat – what’s on for your Monday?

Feeling glum. Need to ring our insurers today about the cancelled honeymoon, and ring our bosses to arrange going back to work. Sad 🙁
Anxiety and depression.
Gonna be a cold one this week
Teen starts mocks this week. Yikes.
And I’m feeling mysteriously rough for no reason I can work out. And have a busy week planned. Double yikes.
Last day of work for a couple of weeks. I’m back off to the UK tomorrow to see my folks for the first time this year!
We’re already off to a strong start. School hating daughter is refusing to get out of bed… I hate doing it, but she has until seven before I go up and all the blankets mysteriously vanish!
I’m on leave, back on Thursday but just lacking motivation to do anything on my days off.
Same as someone else: anxiety and depression
But just for some zest, there’ll also be some existential dread mixed in
I’m also going to bed late (soon) so I can sleep away the tedium of the day and get up around 6pm or so
And just started Pyramids by Terry Pratchett which I’m enjoying, so I look forward to reading more of that!
I’ve been awake since 3am and only just getting sleepy again. Shame I need to get up in 30 minutes so no point actually trying to sleep…
Got layers like an onion today prepping for the cold coming in this week. Supposed to be -10 some days. Not to mention the first snow. Yaaay. Hate winter. Better than last year at least.
Have woken up to a light dusting of snow here! I love snow, but I’m a bit worried now with the really cold temperatures forecast that we might get that horrible ice like last year (earlier this year?).
A short shift at work for me and then I’m staying at my daughter’s house to look after the wee cat as my daughter and her boyfriend are visiting his mum.
Sending love to those who are struggling at the moment <3
Strength class first thing, then Aldi for some bits and pieces and then I’m making a special cake to celebrate officially becoming a pensioner tomorrow to share with my wild swimming buddies
It’s a good thing I work from home because I didn’t want to get out of bed. And my guts apparently decided if I am out of bed I’m not going further than the toilet. Hopefully I’ll make it to my work laptop by nine…
Looks cold out and I’m hearing we may get some snow later on, which is exciting*
*for 10 minutes until it turns into leaf coloured slush
Ice getting thicker as winter sets in up in the Arctic Ocean. Currently 77 degrees North and managing 9kts with 5 engines blazing. Temperature hasn’t gone above -17 for a week and there hasn’t been daylight in 10 days. 2000 miles of solid ice. Everyone is getting angry and depressed. 2 days until port and another 7 days until the first hint of proper sunlight.
But we have 10,000 cigarettes on board, and Saturday steak night still fresh in the mind.
Today I’ve already written 3000 words on emergency tank ventilation procedures, just had a nice chicken and pasta lunch, now I go to write more words on tank cooldown procedure.
10 days until I can go home. Starting to hate the Arctic.
Free coffee though, so there’s that.
My nan is going out with my mum all day so I have the privilege of looking after 4 chihuahuas and 2 cats.
But first I need head into town for an eye test, deposit a cheque for my brother, might treat myself to a sausage roll and bavarian cream slice.
Get home and contact the other half before work about presents for xmas. Strip the bed and put on some new sheets, sort out the bedroom to donate some unwanted stuff, then look after the animals.
On Friday I started writing out the forms I need for my December review, so I have to finish them today.
As a treat for finishing near enough all of November’s work, I also get to start December’s work 🫠
It’s going to be cold so tights, thick trousers, 3 upper layers, thick coat and scarf should fo the trick.
I have so much i should be doing after work but that is in heavy competition eith what I want to do tonight.
It’s a 50/50 tie at the moment
Dreading getting into the office today. They’ve had the heating on since June making everyone with a normal metabolism uncomfortable. I’m going to predict that they are going to have the heating turned up to 11 today.
Please send ice
