Chaos... to be continued

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

We‘re okay to talk about work, and I really appreciate everyone offering advice and support. I need it - I’m so frazzled and confused that talking it through helps! But I’ve had someone really have a go at me for talking about it on here, and I can’t handle drama on here too when I’m already terrified about battling my employer, and trying to manage my health as well. I need to let things out to avoid triggering my anxiety, but if it’s upsetting other people - well I don’t want to be the reason others are pissed off

Ok, I tried to drop subtle hints and you didn't take them. So I tried to drop bigger hints and now you're trying to portray me as a bitch for wanting this thread to be fun and chaos instead of your current work issues. Do I care if you talk about your work drama? Absolutely not. Do I care that you talk about it here, in our thread? Yes.

I have work stress. I have medical conditions. I have anxiety. I was awake until 2am tossing and turning, worried about work changes that are coming up. One worker retiring, one worker getting promoted and one worker having a risky surgery followed by cancer treatments. So my team of 6 is going down to 3 and will have to handle the same amount of work. And another coworker is in the hospital for Covid, pneumonia and a blood clot in her lungs. I'm also adjusting to married life again. Other people have health issues. Other people have anxiety. It's not just you. We all set that aside for this thread and focus on fun stuff. This thread is the ONE place on Lit that until now has stayed drama free and I would like it to stay that way.

I don't mind occasional talking about work woes and I love that we're all so caring for each other when we're sick. However, your stuff is every single day and it's stressing me out. I spend 95% of my Lit time in this thread. Can you please start your own thread where people can answer your questions and give you support? I'm already stressed out and I don't need to be made to feel like a horrible person because I have run out of spoons because of the crap in my own life and can't deal with yours. I'm sitting here crying with shaking hands trying to type this because now I'm afraid that I'm ruining what has been such a joy to so many people by simply asking you to get your support in another thread or in PMs.

My nieces have already had their feet in the water in Gloucester - I think on a warm day we had in March!

And they're 6

I keep getting asked ‘when can we go in the pool’ by my child who ignores the fact that I won’t turn the heater on until it’s above 50 degrees at night on the regular.

Of course, how else would one sway sir 0.0

Yeah, I think my nieces are just immune to the cold. The water temp must have been in the 40s… I don’t think even I would have stuck my feet in that when I was their age!

We did Disney in January, and I don’t know that the temperature got above 75 degrees all week, but on our free day, she still wanted to go into the pool at the resort. Guess who took that particular bullet?

40s...50s...those are all too hot... that sounds insane, and I love warm water o.o

My bff and I got in once when my parents were out of town. I think the water temp was 60. It makes my bones hurt just thinking about it now!

40s F when 40 F = 4.4 C

I did a polar bear plunge once when I was in my 20's. Once was enough for me.

I went for a dip on New Years Day in the Irish sea. Brrrr!

Now that I think about it… I haven’t done that, but did do a fish catching challenge in a pool of water in about February. That was damn cold

This is us standing on the ice before getting in

The cold water is invigorating. Was at a hot springs in March and took a dip in the cold pool as well. Felt amazing

A swim in the cold ocean in the morning is also the best hangover cure on the planet

I know it’s supposed to be amazing and all - I know a whole bunch of people who are in a Cold Shower group who swear by them. I just don’t have that will power I guess!

It is wonderful if you can go the sauna straight afterwards!

In the spring it is cold. In winter it is abnormally warm.

People in Ireland started sea swimming in groups when the pandemic was in full swing as a way to get out of the house and stop them from going nuts. During all seasons too.
