Snowing thick and fast down here in Kent, which has brought up the inevitable debate over stick (wrong) vs settle (correct) between me and my wife.

they are overlapping but separate terms in my experience

sticking refers to it landing on paths/roads etc cold enough so that it does not immediately melt away

settling means enough of it falling and conditions clement to development of a layer that's gonna still be around in a few hours at least

Small dilemma

Got an amazon delivery today- driver didn't knock, just opened the door and came in the place, left the parcel in the hallway then left as I was legging it up the hall to figure out who just walked in

normally the door is locked but one of my kids had come in a few mins ago and not shut it yet

after previous legal troll jobs by similar fundies where the hard pushed press lines were things like "she wasn't even allowed to wear a cross at work!" and the actual main beef was "I'm not allowed to repeatedly insult, belittle and aggressively try and religiously convert my co-workers" my initial state is always gonna be dubious

Some clinics have legal buffer zones already where protests can be moved a hundred metres or so away to protect those getting healthcare, but from a quick look this rainy morning it looks like start of next year they should be implemented nationwide by default, and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this is being used as part of a campaign against it

bit easier to develop some sympathy for the person quietly praying than the guy waving some full colour posters of dismembered late term abortions while screaming redfaced that everyone walking through the doors is a "child murdering slut for soros"

I'm guessing theologically there's also something to counter what matthew 6:5 says about not doing this kind of bullshit

Hellos friends, I suffer from chronic fatigue...

....Does anyone have any experience with fatigue and how can I manage this effectively?

Thanks

first up, sorry to hear that, it really loving sucks.

my CFS/ME started in '16 after a reaction to antibiotics drat near killed me, took a few years to get diagnosed while they ruled out all the fun stuff like lyme and borrelia

I haven't found any hidden tricks that will drastically affect your fatigue, everything you can do is stuff that helps to a degree but even if you do everything "right" all the time some days you will still end up being able to do nowt while feeling like your arse got kicked and some level of acceptance of that can help a lot- it's no personal failure on your part that it's unmanageable at times

the stuff that helps me most is largely the boring poo poo- sleep hygiene/routine, making sure you eat small amounts often, good hydration, making sure to stay at least a little active on the worst days and not pushing too hard on the best, relaxation techniques, stress management etc- but it does help if you stick with it and it's worth asking your GP if there's an occupational therapy team in your area to run through this poo poo with you, otherwise I can probably scan and send the already poorly photocopied guides they gave me if it helps

I'm a legal medical cannabis user mainly for the pain side of things but it has helped with fatigue management- particularly on helping me get nice solid, uninterrupted sleep- having it from a doctor that regulates/monitors my use and having specific products for specific times/purposes has made it a much different and far more effective thing than my previous self-medication. Its not perfect though- there's constant supply issues, red-tape/incompetence and some clinics exist as nothing other than a blatant pill-mill to give rich folk legal weed with no real medical interest.

when I was a phone drone for the dwp back in '06, initially the rules were that if the phones were slow or the system was down it was entirely permissible to pull out a book, listen to some music or generally do whatever provided it didn't disturb anyone and you were always ready for a call if needed, use of the internet for things like paying bills or reading the news was encouraged

some high level shitheel from whitehall got shown around a call centre a month or two before I left and was horrified by the prospect of staff not working constantly, and the new directive was "no downtime, you stuff envelopes with letters even though we have machines for that and if you run out of pointless busywork you will sit at your desk and stare at nothing and like it"

they couldn't have hosed with productivity or morale in a more rapid manner if they had tried and I was even more glad to be out of there
