What did you do today?

[Zeref]

This morning I worked out but did something which injured my shoulder and neck area somehow. I hope it is minor and the pain goes away after a good night of sleep. 

I had work and worked with a mentor today which was very fun since that person was already my friend. They are good at explaining things with me and explaining the project we will be doing and I feel very confident about working with them an my ability to help with the project. 

This evening I am just resting not trying to do anything that can be straining to my neck and shoulder. I am playing some games and this is all for the evening.

Visited mom and got devastating news about my family. I was crushed, but I realize that life, especially karma, happens to everybody.

I don't have work study courses today or tomorrow so I'm kind of just relaxing around the house. The weather was so nice today and breezy that I went for a walk over to the river but I stopped at an ice cream place and the ice cream kinda made me cold   I would rather be cold than hot though, I am so tired of the hot weather. 

I am looking forward to tomorrow though because I have a few packages coming in the mail that are Sasori items

Packages I had to go get

Today I had work which filled most of my day, this evening I have just been playing games. I am going to make dinner in a few minutes. Nothing special just hot dogs and french fries because we don't feel like much tonight. Wednesday's are a bit of a tired and draggy day. 

[Sakura]

I got 2 Sasori items in the mail today, one is the poster I made myself and it looks sooo nice, I am so happy with it. The other is an acrylic Sasori stand that is some kind of Japan-only limited edition item. All I really know is that means it cost more money lolll I just wanted it because it would look cute on my Sasori wall when I finish it. I'll prolly post some pics of them later. 

I didn't have any courses today and I was glad since it was kinda chilly and the weather was nice with perfect blue skies. I went for a walk to Dizzy Whizz and got some burgers and fries and enjoyed the breeze  I need to enjoy because tomorrow it starts getting hotter again going into the 80s and back into the 90s this weekend all the way through next week :c The only good thing is this means I can get 1 more day of swimming in before the weather prolly gets cooler permanently. So I plan to go swimming next Tuesday.

Our building was just on fire so we were trying to deal with that. To back pedal a little I went downstairs to check on our mail with her and as we were going down the fire alarm in the building started to go off with a warning over the loud speaker to evacuate immediately due to an emergency in the building. When the elevator door opened we were greeted to about 20 firemen standing there and the management team downstairs ushered us off the elevator and quickly out the doors. 

Once outside there was around 10 fire trucks, police blocking off the roads and several ambulances. We were stuck outside for about an hour and after talking with other people who live here seems someone was having a cookout on the roof at one of the grills and wasn't paying attention well enough and it caught fire and spread. Someone burned their arm trying to put it out and couldn't get it under control which I assume is when the fire department were called. 

You could see a lot of smoke pouring off the side of the building from the roof. Because of what happened to @Sakura before where she was in an apartment fire where she had to jump from the 3rd story of a building and sustained some burns and several broken bones she isn't doing well and I think is having a panic attack. Though she requested to be left alone to go lay down I may have to take her to the hospital later because she is having immense trouble breathing after all this. I can see how it would be triggering to her knowing what she went through before. I am checking on her still every few minutes so no one should worry about that. 

Though they have let us back in the building I can still see multiple fire trucks and police cars on the road outside that are still here. Not sure the extent of the damage yet since the roof is blocked off and none of the elevators are working either. That was another bad thing, the elevators weren't turned back on yet and we had to walk up 17 flights of stairs. 

 

 

 

Sakura found and uploaded a video of our building right now with what's going on and she said I could share it here.

I'm so sorry that you had a fire in your building. I'm extremely worried about @Sakura now though, so I hope she'll be ok. It breaks my heart that she had to experience another fire. Have you had to take her to a hospital or has she not gotten that bad yet? Please let her know my heart and my thoughts are with both her. My heart and thoughts are with you as well. Being in such close proximity to a fire can be scary enough, but I can't even imagine the profound impact it must've had on her. I'm not going anywhere, so I'll be online or at home when she does feel like talking, so she can call if she wants to when she feels ok to do so. Oh my God, I'm sorry that happened. It's truly heartbreaking to know she's trying to cope with that happening again.

@Zeref I'm really sorry to hear about this and am very glad that both of you are safe, but in the light of her earlier experience it must have been terrifying for @Sakura and bought back all sorts of bad memories so I can well understand her having a panic attack. It's probably going to take her quite a while to get over the event so please let her know that my thoughts are with her and that she will soon be able to put the event behind her and move on however hard that might seem at the moment.

Hope everything is alright with you @Zeref and @Sakura. Artix told me about what had happened on Discord. I don't know if he talked to you again last night but I told him she should probably take an anxiety pill if she still has them and if persists to go to the hospital. I'm sure since she's had anxiety medicine before she has seen a doctor prior, but the hospital would still likely want to do a EKG, chest x-ray, and blood tests for protein troponin to rule out a heart attack. Heart attacks and severe panic attacks often feel exactly the same. 
They would have probably given her a strong dose of benzodiazepines (sedative), and sent her home, in which case it could have been self-managed the same way at home with the anxiety pills but it's always better to go if it isn't going away. Be safe, not sorry.
LMK on Discord later how things are going. 

[Zeref]

Thank you all for your concern. Today everything is fine here. Our roof is blocked off for further notice, I don't think there will be any more swimming on the roof this year lol. They were already under repairs today on the roof I noticed so this is good. @Sakura is alright too. She did not have to go to the ER department but didn't slept well I think.

Yes, he told me when he called last night. She didn't want to go to the ER department and the heavy breathing stopped after an hour or 2 but this morning it's okay she is fine.

I'm alright, no worries ~ I was pretty stressed out yesterday as Pess said but I'm feeling a lot better today after resting for the day. I didn't have to go to the hospital or anything either I don't really like hospitals at all that would stress me out even more lolll

Yeah after being in an apartment fire before it's something I'm always terrified of experiencing again x.x The last time I had to jump out of a 3rd floor window as the only escape route and I lost literally every thing I owned since nothing was salvageable from it, and lost my cat as well  The fire here didn't turn out to be that bad but the entire experience of just being ushered out of the building by a bunch of firemen, being in the elevator when the alarm started to go off, this loud blaring alarm overhead voice screaming "A THREAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY" that sounded like some kind of transformer voice lol + not even knowing what was going on and just being told the building was on fire and thrown out the main lobby door was kind of a lot at once to process. 

I don't even think our apartment management workers really knew if the fire was extensive or what floors it was on or anything either they just knew there was a fire and with any type of high rise fire you want to get out immediately. I was actually really glad we had been downstairs because I wouldn't have wanted to be upstairs and running down the flights of stairs not knowing what's going on.

S'oki Ori ~ I did have some anxiety pills but it just wasn't working at the time but I did calm down after a bit like Pess said. The chest pain was what kept me up most of the night, I kept feeling that sharp shooting pain in my chest but I'm alright this morning. 

We ended up being all over the news lol seems what happened was someone was grilling out and lost control of the grill after not paying attention and it caught on to some patio furniture next to it and there are rows and rows of cushioned seats by that area that just caught fire very quick and it got out of hand and the fire department had to be called. Here's the pics from the news:

@Sakura I'm really glad to hear that you are alright and feeling better today. Please take care of yourself and get plenty of rest and don't get carried away and rush into doing things too soon. I can understand you not liking hospitals as I don't like them much either, I don't think anyone does.

[Sasuke]

I'm glad you feel alright now Serey. If you need anything you can call me or text me.

I am having a relaxing day without work or worries. Catching up on some games, with friends, sleeping in. I don't remember the last time I was able to sleep in on a Saturday. 

[Animedragon]

Today I spent the day visiting a heritage steam railway and had a great time watching, riding and videoing steam trains. 

The weather wasn't great, it rained nearly all day , but it didn't spoil my day. 

[Zeref]

It's almost too hot to do anything today. The air feels really humid and sticky. I've spent the day so far inside just playing my games and relaxing. I think I will go take a nap soon. Crazy how the heat can make you feel overly tired.

Yep yep ~ not a fan of hospitals. All they want to do is stick you with a needle  I didn't feel like I needed to go this time though.

I'm mostly just going to relax at home this weekend and try to feel better by Monday. Yeah I don't really care for hospitals at all, every time I go I get stuck with a needle and like @Sasuke even mentioned, they would have wanted to do blood work loll I know lots of people don't like needles, but I have such a fear of them that I feel light-headed and dizzy when I even just see one, even if its not meant for me. I never could even hold our horses while my mom gave them their yearly shots or I would just pass out lmao ~

Do you publish the videos you take of the trains somewhere like on Youtube?

So do I. I'm OK with needles, but that doesn't mean that I like having them stuck in me! Last time I went to the doctors for my annual flu jab I asked the nurse which arm she wanted and she said both as I was entitled to another jab as well. I came out with two sore arms!

Er, yes. I have a YouTube channel with lots of trains, both heritage steam and modern traction, along with a few other things on it.

 

[Klaudett]

Was playing dota all day long

[SatoriSan]

Sleeping and eating lol

[Zeref]

I woke up early. I usually do this on Sunday for some reason I'm not sure of. I don't mind because I rather wake up on Sunday early to enjoy the last day of the weekend before Monday. I am going to play FFX this afternoon, do meal prep. I wanted to workout today but even to work out indoors it feels too hot with the weather close to 100 outside so today I will skip this.

Every time I go to the doctor for something that shouldn't even require a needle they always find a reason to stick me once or twice too  The only time I willingly had a needle was for the COVID vaccination, but anything else I just want to avoid as much as I can unless I'm dying. 

I GFX'ed today, made some new graphics, tried out some new styles. There are still some tutorials I want to try out that I've found recentl;y but I still haven't gotten around to that. I usually end up deviating so far away from the tut when I do them anyways lol but they do give me some new place to start from I guess or spark some creativity in me. Today I just felt extra creative though and came up with some things I think were really cute that I'll put on my showcase in a bit.

Other than that I didn't do much. Trying to just chill out before starting school again tomorrow. The classes this year are prolly going to be much harder considering I'm in the last 2 years now before I get my Masters degree. I guess that means I can't sleep as much in class this year

I found when I was at school that things got harder each year. Sleeping in class was a very dangerous thing to do, back in the 1960s and the cane was still very much in use

This morning I did some gardening and while I was clearing the weeds out of one of the flowerbeds I realised I was being watched, and there about two feet away was a robin. I stopped work and just sat very still and watched this beautiful little bird, which at one point came within 18 inches of where I was sitting. It was an almost magical experience being so close to such a lovely little bird.

[Zeref]

I had work today but I was very excited about it. I could hardly fall asleep last night thinking about the project we would be doing today, usually thinking about work is bad but for this time for me it was good I will enjoy the good feelings now from just having started this job because I know sometimes in the future it may not always be this way.

I was going to work out this afternoon but decided to skip it since the heat is so bad today. Tomorrow will be worst I guess but I don't think my body will fall apart if I skip work out a couple of days. I instead played FFX at lunch today instead of being at the gym. This evening I will probably do the same.
