Jim's Cafe - Wednesday 1st February

[Freya]

Happy February Café Peeps! I can't believe it is Feb already! At least the days are starting to get a bit lighter now. There will be snowdrops soon

Unfortunately @NYJmpMaster still has not fixed the juke box so it is going to be on every café patron to sing a song today. Please let us know what you will be singing so we can sort out the karaoke machine. If you wish to accompany yourself on the piano/guitar/spoons etc instead, you can of course.

@DrownedFishOnFire has decided that today is Japanese Fusion day and will be sorting out the menu. @VivianEve will be baking a delicious German Chocolate cake for everyone and @AlexiMarie7 will be making sure that @avalanchefan95 doesn't eat it all!

@Acanthi and @nobodyknows71 will be providing a delicious buffet this evening for any late comers - please let them know if you have any special dietary requirements

Today's Challenge: Tell us the one thing you absolutely should avoid when you feel crappy/low.

Honestly: male refugees when I'm coming home late and they re waking behind. I'm getting incredibly aggressive and scared at the same time.

@Freya seems to know I'm a little fat bastard. Damn, she got someone babysitting the cake!

What to avoid to keep me from being a nut -
*certain music
*sometimes politics, esp right now
*other nutty folks in crisis
*being alone *or* being in a crowd, no telling which though until it happens

 

[DrownedFishOnFire]

Japanese Fusion! I just know the dish!

FUGU fish

Choose your chef wisely! Hehee

Avoiding sweets is the number one thing I need to do when really low

OMG - grim! Yuck!

Hiya all!

That food definitely does not tempt me in the slightest.
What, @avalanchefan95 needs to be guarded from eating all the cake? @Freya obviously doesn't like cake....

Today I went to work which was draining even though I didn't do much. The kids were cute, they were quiet enough so that could teach them quietly.

I don't know the answer to the challenge. That would actually be really useful to know, but, I don't.

Wishing you a most amazing day all. Take care of yourselves!

Hi everyone. Where is the sushi @DrownedFishOnFire

Hmm something that I should avoid when feeling low, would be junk food.

 

[DrownedFishOnFire]

@Rockclimbinggirl

There is sushi towels for you as its what I could only afford in my leftover budgeting as those Fugu Chefs are very expensive after all those license required to prep those pufferfish isnt cheap. Towels are there for visual enjoyment and to absorb the sweat if needed so its dual purposed

:p

 

[AlexiMarie7]

Well then, me standing guard for the cake....if this isn't a challenge in itself. I think we need someone on deck to guard the guard.

I think I should avoid not having vodka.

Today is apparently a year I've been on here (feels longer). Real life is still objectively empty and unchanged positively. I guess hope lives on.

For the challenge, I should avoid isolating when I feel low. Gonna try that tonight when I work out with my teammate again.

I've had weird moods today. Was feeling great. Went with my case manager to get some new clothes including some shoes, which made me feel awesome. Now I'm feeling down again, and really lost (metaphorically). Not sure where my mood'll be soon. Just watching Youtube right now wasting time for a few more hours til it's time to go work out.

Also kind of nervous because I had to buy a thing that's practical but I used to use for self harming. I haven't owned this in years, but I need it now. I wanna make sure I don't start hurting myself again.

I know this *exactly*...
I used to use the same exact object for years. Like same brand & everything when I could find it so just a glimpse of that would spark that in me for many years. You just have to remember that you're the one that controls that package not the other way around.
Would it be helpful to list reasons you quit doing that & stick it near there / wrap it around / tape it on? It's not like you won't be remembering it anyway bit you'll have the good reasons there too.
Stay strong ok? The external world doesn't control you!! You're tough. You can do it.

Sorry.... very late to the party today.

Happy Feb people!! Is it just me or did January last FOREVER!!

Late night supper (sorry too late for buffet) is nice hot chicken or tomato and basil soup with fresh thick cut crusty bread. Comfort food.

Challenge today is quite difficult for me there's so many things I could list. TBH coming here sometimes is one. But I guess the top of the list would be alcohol. Me and vodka are quite good friends when I'm really low.

Hoping you all had/have a wonderful day.

Love and hugs x

 

[Acanthi]

Oh no!!! I'm on holiday at the moment and I just got in! Sorry @Freya! But I'm glad to see @nobodyknows71 got the buffet covered

Today's challenge: I'm not sure.. Maybe listening to sad songs and watching sad movies.
