Adventurous...:carride:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Achy. I took a tumble off a curb in the rain today. Nothing seems to be broken, but my whole right side is one big bruise. Also, I scuffed up a brand new pair of boots.

[RebelDyke]

absolutely exhausted... i think i will be feeling this way for quite a bit longer. perhaps a year...maybe more. but today was a full day of testing kiddos from 0-3...i think i made a few friends along the way...
that's what made it fun as well

[homoe]

Adventurous...:carride:


still adventurous....

[Orema]

Good and well rested. Ready to go back to work.

[Bèsame*]

Adventurous, let's go see what this is all about.

[Kätzchen]

cheerful feelings of contentment

[Ginger]

I'm feeling better. It's been a month since my nephew passed away. It's so quiet without his constant calling to wrangle the next package from me with some silly treat. That little man had a personality that made me laugh out loud and he knew he was loved. The holidays were brutal, a lot of travel, a lot of hard medical decisions. Now I'm back and I've had weekends and nights after work to be in the sanctuary of my apartment and have long talks on the phone with my sister and mom and savor the silence and peace here. I'm being really efficient, which is comforting somehow. I finally replaced the toilet and sink in my bathroom, and finally replaced my eight-year-old tires. I've been too sad to write, though, and that's unusual for me. So this is how I feel: Sad, grateful, a little touchy, very alert, nostalgic, spacey, exhausted, calm, alone, not alone, easily moved to tears by TV shows and in my own little world.

[JDeere]

Weak...tired...

Drank some Pedialyte but idk if it's gonna help

Feeling said, heartbroken, still in disbelief. You know how there are songs that build the soundtrack of your life?

When I lived in Southern California, the Lakers where the common thread that brought many friends together. I lived in an apt complex, with an open court yard. Many a times we would apt. hop, and carry on out in the court yard. The whooping and hollering that went on. We watched them grow into a great team.

Later, when I moved across state lines, never being disloyal, even in the land of the Spurs. I would get razed. All. The. Time. My antics included, on game days between the Lakers and Spurs (which both of them were in the playoffs, against each other, often) I would pull all the purple and yellow together. My girls at the time, just cracked up.

The Bryant family will never be the same. My heart goes out to them and the other families affected by this terrible accident. Another family lost a mom, a dad and their daughter. A mom and her daughter. A helicopter pilot. .....Three young girls. All too young.

We, as in all my friends, have come together with stories. Watching the tributes. Kobe is an inspiration to all.

Life is short.

[JDeere]

Pretty devastated....

2 bad events in one day... Not good for the soul

[Stone-Butch]

I feel so good and if I felt any better I would have to be two people. Little one has me worn out LOL.

[homoe]

restless...I feel restless

[JustLovelyJenn]

I feel.... lost... lonely... and a little bit of devastation

[Wrang1er]

Stressed and exhausted.

[FireSignFemme]

Ecstatic! It took forever and a day but my grandson is finally here. :) I get to see him tomorrow. I'm also feeling a little cranky and envious. Didn't expect to not sleep straight through last night till later this morning. Now all three, mom baby and dad are zonked out, and I can't get back to bed – I'm wide awake and ready to rumba. Which is great right now, but is near going to kill me tomorrow. I'm gonna be so dragging.

[Orema]

Good. Am in the office and had a nice week. I might work this weekend depending on how things go today.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Accomplished. My work is caught up, and my personal tasks are caught up too.

[JDeere]

Still exhausted and can't relax.

I'd love for just once to sleep through the night.

[Bevidotcom]

Pensive.

Tis a little off-putting.

[Breathless]

Well.. 2 surgeries in 6 weeks, I’m feeling full of holes! (I’m fine please don’t worry)

[JDeere]

Sleepy...
May hit the hay soon

[FireSignFemme]

In really good spirits. Somehow there was this technological nightmare disaster all sorts of things gone all sorts of wrong glitch - computer, cable and broadcast, landline, cell phone, smoke alarm, heater. Anyhow rather than wait for one of the kids to help I managed to fix everything but the TV stuff myself. I know, I'm feeling all kick ass! It's great :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Yucky. It's raining and I hurt all over.

[Kätzchen]

I'm feeling pretty good. Today I was spoiled by clients for Valentines day.

It's not exactly a holiday I like, but oh my, I was given Roses, Hawaiian Kukuei Beads from Hawaii, cookies (Samoan Girl Scout cookies) a stuffed Strawberry charm, socks with hearts on them and a bunch of cans of Albacore Tuna! Gosh, what a day it has been.

[Bèsame*]

I'm feeling pretty happy. I received a nice card from my bestie today. Enclosed was a heart garland, that is now draped on the back of my front door.

There is also a rub on slogan .. "you've got this".

I'm going to smile every time I go out the door. Lol, just like I always do,but now with bestie friendship vibes!

[cathexis]

Quite a bit of anxiety after receiving 6 bills in today's post. Five of which, came from the hospital or doctor.

In the same group of letters, came a discharge notice from my counselor which I need to contest.

How can she think I don't need continued therapy?

[kittygrrl]

very sleepy..happy...a little hungry

[JDeere]

Sleepy

Stressed out

Kinda hungry

[Orema]

Frustrated. I have about 10 gigs of files I need to get to my hard drive at home. Am trying to copy them to a portable hard drive but it's taking FOREVER. And every flash and portable hard drive I have on hand is slow as hell.

Two hours to copy 10 gigs? I'm ordering some faster flash drives first thing Tuesday morning when the company opens. I'll show them!

I hate waiting on stuff like this.

[Gemme]

I feel good and motivated.

[JDeere]

Pained...

I really over did it today.

Still have to finish laundry and make lunch for work tomorrow.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Sneezy and watery-eyed. I'm allergic to something I came into contact with today. Thank goodness for Benadryl.

[Orema]

Good. It’s been one year since I hurt my wrist and it’s healed well. Still have a little numbness in my thumb and at the bottom of my palm but it’s doesn’t bother me at all. Could have been so much worse. Lucky me.

:pursebee:

[Ginger]

I'm feeling happy that it's lighter in the morning when I wake up. March 20 is a little ways off (and I think daylight savings time is March 8) but it already smells like spring. Thank you, Earth, for giving us another chance.

[FireSignFemme]

Well there's a lot of spring in my step and a great big huge smile on my face this morning, so I'd say awfully darn happy.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pretty well, pretty well. :)

[RebelDyke]

eh..a little tired...and while i had a shaky start this morning... everything turned out so much better getting a special phone call.

it always gets better after a phone call :moonstars::praying:

[Gemme]

Currently, I'm a little tired but I feel okay overall. I got some news at work that will wind up costing me money, so I'm a little peeved as well.

[Orema]

Pretty good. Had a physical this morning. Everything looked good except my red blood count was unusually high and my calcium is high. We're gonna do some more tests to see what's behind these high numbers. Other than that, I'm good.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Weary. I have a friend who called her cancer "the sleeping sickness". She was right - I want to sleep all the time.

[Gemme]

I'm exhausted from burning the candle at both ends. For the past several days after work I go home, eat and take care of the babies and then I go back to work where I have a space to work on my painting projects. I have 6 pieces of furniture to paint. Two of them only need minor touch ups before I seal them, another will need one more full coat and three have barely gotten started at all. I have to get all of the painting done so I can seal them and have time to let it fully cure before I have to move the furniture so there's definitely a time crunch. Why did I do this to myself?

[Orema]

Pretty good.

Voted for a woman for president for the first time. Feels nice.

Thought I was coming down with a cold last week. Stayed home on Friday, filled myself with daytime cold meds, Vitamin C, and chicken noodle soup and I think it's gone, but am playing it safe by keeping my door at work closed and keeping to myself.

Have a lot of work to do, but that's cool—will keep me out of trouble.

Life could be worse.

:pursebee:

[RebelDyke]

absolutely exhausted.

Spring break cannot come around soon enough

[FireSignFemme]

Happy. The kids are sending pictures of me and my new grandbaby. I'm letting them take them because sometimes there are more important things than hiding one's fat. My son was kind enough to crop and photo shop out the worst of it, at in least those he's sending me, but he's still taunting me by keeping the real ones untouched for everyone else to look at. I warned him – I won't forget this. Your day will come. And when it does - no whining!

My bestie in North Carolina just reminded me that I voted for Hillary in 2016.

So, it felt good to vote for a woman for president for a second time.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Semi-accomplished. I got some things done today, but not as much as I wanted.

[RebelDyke]

good.. and excited...

It is good to be home after all of the travelling. so ready for my alternating spring breaks! time to rest and catch up.

[FireSignFemme]

Worried. I'm in pain again. Not terrible, unbearable like before, and not in the same place. It's further down. It feels like under the jaw, down the side of my neck, under/along my ear, but when I press those areas and all around them it doesn't hurt even when I push really deep. No fever... I'm not sure but I still have pain meds. My son says don't worry about the cost J is on board and we'll figure it out just make an appointment. But I'm hesitant to do that because they're new parents and there's now the added expense of that. I was hoping it would just go away. My son told me he just got a raise, don't worry about it, and revealed he makes a lot more, much more money a year than I thought he did, but still. I feel guilty because I'm the parent and it should be the other way around me doing for him and J all they do for me. He said he wouldn't be alive if it weren't for me and J wouldn't have their son if it wasn't for me. Well that's just things you say if you're a decent human being and you care about others but that still doesn't make it right or the way things aught to be.

[Orema]

Tired. I forgot about daylight saving time even though homoe reminded us. Oh well.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tired. I forgot about daylight saving time even though homoe reminded us. Oh well.

The same. I will enjoy the later daylight hours, though.

[JDeere]

Tired as well..time change affects everything!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I am feeling so isolated over this COVID-19 thing already. I haven't left the house for 3 days. I am working from home. My pantry is stocked. I've been texting people. My boy has even come to see me. But still, this feels very lonely. Thank goodness for Diva Kitty. I still sure do miss Tiny Dog, though.

[Bèsame*]

Totally exhausted, to say the least. It's been a very physical last four days.

[Kätzchen]

I feel like time is standing still: Like time is moving slowly.

Slowly, so I can find all the good things in life to fully appreciate and savor.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pretty grateful for my co-workers who are chatting with me online, as if it's any other day and they can stop by my office and say, "Hi."

I'm hoping that one "chatty Cathy" guy isn't one of them, although I suppose giving him the "bum's rush" via phone would be much easier than in person!

Have you been to see someone about this yet?

I feel fine. I'm with Georgia in that I don't like being told what I can and cannot do or where I can go but I do hope that these precautionary measures work and that the virus can play out with the people currently affected with no more deaths and that everyone else can be safe from it spreading.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Actually, Chatty Cathy has gotten a little easier to take. He's still annoying, but less so. He's also really a whiz at computer stuff, and has helped me out of a jam or two. I wonder if somebody said something to him, to tone him down?

[FireSignFemme]

[QUOTE=Gemme;1263602][B][SIZE="3"][COLOR="YellowGreen"]Have you been to see someone about this yet?


No, but fortunately though the pain did come back, it went away again. No swelling, fever nothing. It feels like it never happened. I haven't been to the dentist yet but I found one who accepts payments. I'm just waiting to schedule until we have a better idea of what this virus is going to do. Right now we're being asked to not go out if at all possible and if we have to when we do to keep a distance from others, this even if we don't feel sick. In the meantime the dentist I last saw says he'll see me without an appointment as a walk in if things change and I start feeling poorly. But so far so good, thanks for asking. :)

[Orema]

So sad. A woman I admire has announced she's leaving our company. I've known for a couple years that she'd be leaving, but I didn't expect it to be this year and I certainly didn't expect it to hit me so hard. We aren't close but we have a good relationship and I've supported a few projects she asked me work on over the years.

There has to be something else behind this sadness of mine. Maybe it's because she reminds me of my sister. Maybe I'm just tired from work or exhausted from the lifestyle change with the virus. I'ont know... I'll figure it out in due time.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Focused and semi-accomplished. I'm getting a lot done.

Recieved an email early this morning, that my employer will be paying us an extra $2 for the next 4 weeks. Its feels good to be appreciated for showing up.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Happy I can log out of work an hour and a half early today. I've built up some overtime over the past two weeks dealing with technology/connectivity issues.

[easygoingfemme]

Emotionally drained. On top of Covid 19 and work...

Last night I dreamed a lot about my brother. It has been a while since I dreamed of him. It always leaves me feeling very heavy when I wake up.

This afternoon my phone started blowing up with text messages. From my brother's phone. It was my elder nephew. My sister in law must have turned it on to help keep him in touch with us while they are in isolation. But... I wasn't prepared. It's so great to be able to text with my nephew while I can't see him but my brother's name keeps popping up with it and what a tug. My brother and I had been texting just a couple of hours before he died so that conversation popped right up. My daughter said she knows how to change the contact so it doesn't pop up my brother's name every time I get a message. I thought I would want that but now I'm not sure. Renaming his contact just doesn't feel right. I don't know how we're supposed to do this stuff.

Meanwhile my elder nephew figured out how to voice record messages to text and I have about two hours of audio of him burping and farting and making barfing noises and... yodeling.

[Apocalipstic]

I feel very anxiousd and tired, like I am disembodied somehow. I am achy and sad. I was going to the pool, which really helped my mind and body, but its closed until further notice, as are all gyms in our area.

We are still going to work, and for that I am grateful!

A lot of Covid cases in Nashville, its very scary.

It was over a year after my Dad died that I changed the contact from "Mom & Dad" to just "Mom". It hurt every time it popped up, but I just couldn't change it until I was ready. Maybe you should just wait until you're ready. (((Hugs)))

[Orema]

Good.

Will work from home for an hour or two then the day is mine to finish the laundry, vacuum the car, sweep the garage.

[Stone-Butch]

I feel pretty good considering the cabin fever but it is safe at home so I have all the groceries I need, a warm apt., and friends to Skype with. This chat area is great for contact with some nice folks too.

[JDeere]

Bored, cabin fever, tired.

[easygoingfemme]

Glad I unplugged this weekend.
I went out to my Daddy's house, which is thankfully just 20 miles from mine. She works from home and has been sheltering in place so we didn't worry much. We spent most of the weekend outside working in the gardens with a gentle rain falling. We did crossword puzzles and cooked good food and took naps. I really needed all of that.

Still woke up with my heart pounding getting ready to go back to the work week but at least I'm rested and my racing mind got a break.

[Stone-Butch]

Not feeling on top today. Rain started late yesterday and is still coming down. Winds have died down and it is just dreary out. Giving me the blahs. I hope the sun comes out for at least a day or two.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Feeling sad and depressed. There are still so many people who don't understand that asymptomatic carriers are driving the COVID-19 pandemic. They think it's not about them if they're not showing symptoms of illness.

Willful ignorance makes me sad.

Bummed. However way more tired😴😴😴

[FireSignFemme]

A little less anxious.
One of the nicest things about where I'm living - people seem so happy to be here and and because of it willing to follow the rules in order to stay. It's so calm and peaceful. Every time someone new moves in I worry they'll be the ones to break the rules and screw it up for everybody, but so far that hasn't been the case. I'm starting to relax a bit now that a little over half the units are occupied. Even if all of the remaining units fill up with troublemakers, we'll still be the majority. Now to keep it that way.

[Orema]

In a funk, but I'll get over it.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pretty well, pretty well. I think I might actually get some work done today.

My back aches and my sciatica is acting up again.

tired and still a bit overwhelmed... moving classes to online has proved to be difficult at best.

however, a student wanted to face time over concerns. what were the concerns?? haha she was asking what classes I will be teaching next semester. I sadly had to tell her none, but she expressed interest in teaching. It was nice to get the compliment in the way she presented it was adorable too. she should be set up for when she is ready to teach.

Stressed at work and feeling like I want a cigarette, but will resist because I don't like feeling dizzy and I don't want this to become a habit.`

Maybe some chocolate will help.

omg... i have taken to having a bottle of migraine meds next to my computer from all of these zoom session meetings. feeling the crunch now that the school year is coming to an end in the next month and a half....and thinking i need to buy stock in it for the summer and fall since they are talking about us being swamped at the beginning of the school year now! :praying:

Besame, I have to say I have recently been thinking about a commercial thread. You know..... those that annoy the heck out of you, those that make you laugh every time and those (especially now) that might make your eyes water. I understand some commercials are regional but have to think the $$$$ ones are throughout country.

[FireSignFemme]

Exhausted, however I finally found a living room room set in my price range that is everything I've been looking for, and more. It has some extras I dreamed of but never thought I'd be able to afford – just perfect. I'm so happy. Even better as I was searching I came across another set I like a lot that's even more affordable, and in stock everywhere. So even if later today I wake up and find out while I was asleep the one I worked so hard to find is suddenly gone, sold out everywhere, I've still found a set that I can be happy with. :)

I am happy with myself today I thought of a thing to do to stop this boredom. I made up flyers and am going to distribute them in the complex. Any elderly or disabled person that needs a couple of grocery items and has noone to get them I will pick them up and deliver them to them once a week. Only a couple of items per person. Perhaps medications or bread or milk. I will just tap each one through checkout and call them when I have their things. If they wish my help, I left my number. The manager will check my list to know it they are legit or not. Anyway, I am happy with this and hope they are too.......

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm feeling a little technophobic and filled with trepidation. I have to set up my scanner to cooperate with my work laptop, and I hope I can make it work. The work laptop has almost no memory left to speak of, so I'm going to have to uninstall something to be able to install the scanner software. I know, this sounds easy, but it's the kind of thing that I don't do often enough to feel comfortable with. It's like if you're not a handy with tools type person who starts some home improvement project, and knows in advance that it will take at least three trips to the hardware store to get done. - Except, I have no store I can go to for help with this one. I don't think Office Depot is an essential store during this epidemic. Maybe it will involve three calls to my office tech guy.

I'm worn out. Yesterday was a hard day knowing it had officially been a year since my brother died. We had a zoom toast with family and some of my brother's friends and my nephews toasted with seltzer. But it was so hard to not be able to be together. I'm feeling a lot of the sadness and trauma from last year. It's exhausting and making it so I can't eat. I'm hoping to get out of work early to go sleep.

[FireSignFemme]

Google and YouTube that's what I do. Even if I can't figure it out myself with both together at least I'll better understand what I'm talking about when I finally reach someone by phone or make it to the store. Good Luck!

[Baby_Yoda]

I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. Found out today my company is paying an extra 2 dollars per hour as hazard pay. On top of that there is free chiropractic on site every week. To top it off they cover the whole cost of insurance.

So sorry for your pain.my lil sis my best friend died 5 years ago.... the pain in my heart is still there she was my best friend. The only thing that help is telling myself "thank god I loved her so much that I hurt so much" time does help a bit.Some folks never feel that love for anyone/.

[RebelDyke]

safe, sane, and single. At the moment, i am fully enjoying my life. it is quiet and peaceful and no toxic negativity. I am able to do a lot of work with my hands and stay grounded......and

I LOVE IT.

[Stone-Butch]

I am feeling furious over Trumps order to stop sending C virus supplies to Canada till we get ours done. We are making enough to send to other countries with our oversupply once we catch up. But to refuse a neighbor supplies for a sickness that can kill is unbelievable. Thank goodness that 3M refused that order and has shipped all we need for the moment for our protection and perhaps saving lives. That bastard is walking on the fighting side of millions of Canadians....

I feel good. My thumb/ wrist area is telling a different story. I really thought I had just sprained my wrist. Ahhh, I have high pain tolerance, I'll just work thru it. Well not until it started to pinch or catch did I pull out my online doctor's license. Appears to be something called,
https://www.osmifw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/De-Quervain’s-Tenosynovitis-OSMI.jpgI'm icing, medicating, resting and splinting. Anyone ever experienced this before?

[Stone-Butch]

I have had this before and at the drugstore I purchased a brace that goes over the back of the hand up past the wrist a little. It keeps the wrist from turning so that the muscle and tendons in that area do not get more inflamed. You can tighten it to your liking. I hope this helps.

[RebelDyke]

WOOOH!

Three zoom sessions down
an FBA report...DONE!
meeting with supervisor... YEP!

next up... contract negotiations

and I only when through a half of a pot of coffee!

I am ON TASK! :praying:

I went out first thing this morning for that. It gave me a reason to get dressed, lol.

Thank you !!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Excited! because I'm going to have PIZZA - real pizza, not the frozen stuff - for dinner.

[Stone-Butch]

You are most welcome. I got a lot of relief after about 2 days wearing it constantly especially when driving. A couple of Tylenol with coffee helped bring down the inflamation and helped with the discomfort also. I never take anything stronger and find these help enough. I hope it helps.

[JDeere]

Ready for the weekend type of feeling... So I won't have to deal with work stuff.

[homoe]

Not so good!

And I slept a lot during the day yesterday which is very unusual for me..:|

[Stone-Butch]

Feeling pretty good the last few days. My mind is a lot more settled and I think I have reason to smile.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Dusty. Not only is the pollen count through the roof, the yard guys came and cut the grass and blew off the patio and driveway and they stirred everything up. I can even tell inside the house.

[easygoingfemme]

Ready for a nap and ready for the weekend.

I took yesterday off because I really didn't feel good but I think it was really all of the stress in my body from working through this and some family stuff going on.

I feel better today, just sort of like I have a cold.

Happy weekend, all.

[RebelDyke]

a little bit o stressed... ok a lotta bit o stressed, but I also feel like I have been making a lot of progress on organizing my files! hahahah

However, thinking about the future months and getting my own testing done with licensure..... very stressed sigh

I feel like crap.;;

I wore my same getup to go pick up my meds;long trench coat collar pulled up to my neck, scarf wrapped around my neck,a mask, one of Mary's hats and a pair of cloth gloves! Then I came straight home and feel asleep in my chair.

[homoe]

~~
Well rested! This is the third time I've slept the day pretty much away!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Mostly pretty happy - I got a prezzie in the mail today! But I also spent awhile feeling pretty bummed out to learn that Terrence McNally passed away. I will have to watch "Frankie and Johnny" tomorrow.

[Chad]

Feeling good. Gardening like I am a farmer.

[Baby_Yoda]

Where to begin? For the first time in recent memory woken up by a nightmare involving clowns if all things. I am not scared of clowns so not entirely sure where that came from. I had kicked my covers off so I was freezing as well. But I suppose falling asleep to one of the better dreams if my life had to be evened out.

[JDeere]

A bit more rested than normal!

Missing family though.

[Stone-Butch]

Feeling good. Just waiting for my daily subliminal message. *S

Yep. Like Stone-Butch said, a wrap or brace can be very helpful. Mine gets aggravated every snowy winter because of the repetitive motion of shoveling. Initially, I fell and landed on it a few years ago while scraping ice off of the truck. It's no fun! Hope you feel better soon.

As for myself, I feel good. The Universe is being very generous to me right now and I'm ever so thankful.

[nhplowboi]

Pretty damn angry. A few weeks ago a customer asked if they could put a donation box in our store for a little boy who has cancer. I usually decline and not because I am a grinch (ok maybe I am a little) but mainly because they are a big responsibility in this day and age. Our store is small but gets extremely busy and there is a lot of addiction in our area. Sure enough it was missing today when someone came to pick it up. :( So without a date or time the box went missing, I spent a couple of hours looking at video to see when the theft occurred and who took it. I found it was stolen way back on April 3rd and the thief is a regular customer. Tomorrow I will be contacting the police department and providing them with video so he can be charged. I doubt the box had $100 dollars in it but we will donate that to the little boy. Really dude?! You are like a 50 year old man, drive a nice car, present well but truth is you are just a low life common thief of the worst kind. Oh and once you are arrested, consider yourself banned for life.

[kittygrrl]

[Stone-Butch]

I had a good sleep and I am just having my first coffee at 6 a.m. so, so far, so good.

[RebelDyke]

waking up early to make sure i don't miss a 9:30am Zoom meeting that did not happen because well.. technically if school was in session face to face..we would NOT have been in school today... sigh.. I'm chuckin' this day in the F*%K it bucket.. i'm goin back to bed! :cold:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Hurting, because I've been sitting in this sub-par task chair for the past hour and a half. I would get a new one, except that they are all crap unless you spend a fortune at a high-end office furniture store. I don't have the strength to walk around used office furniture stores looking for a good one. The one I really want is $900 from Herman Miller. I used to have one, and it was specially built for someone my size and shape. I could sit in it all day.

[Kätzchen]

Late last night I came across some personal writings of mine, where I jotted down quotes I have read over time. One page had a bunch of Paulo Coehlo quotes and I found myself in a contemplative, thoughtful mood.

So I'm resonating with a few ideas (concepts, misnomers, etc) written by Paulo Coehlo:

If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life with reward you with a new hello. --PC

It takes a huge effort to free yourself of memory. --PC.

One day you will wake up and there won't be anymore time to do the things you've always wanted to do. Do it now. --PC

And finally, lol, this one because I have been working on passing my tests for weeks and weeks now (I hope to pass them on the 28th of this month):

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. --PC


*Happy Monday*
:rose:

[Stone-Butch]

Not as good as when I got up and went shopping. Headache, sore throat and sniffles. I must have got a cold... NO probably just a cold. I came home soaked from the rain and chilly.

You still have furniture stores open???

Take some immunity boosting supplements. Whenever I'm dragging or didn't get enough sleep and am opening myself to getting sick, I double up on them and am right as rain shortly thereafter. I lean towards Airborne but like Emergen-C too.

As for now, I'm tired. I shorted myself of sleep last night and with the weather today, fought soooo hard to remain awake. It was nap weather with all the rain and howling wind! Being so slow at work didn't help.

I'm getting to bed soon. :blink:<---determined

[GeorgiaMa'am]

You still have furniture stores open???

No, but the local hoity-toity office furniture store's chat feature on their web page was functional. I ended up finding one on ebay for about $450 though. Of course, plus shipping, it will be several hundred more. But it will be worth it for my back.

[RebelDyke]

I am not even sure. I am exhausted, overwhelmed, even a bit depressed, but also over joyed, and excited.

New contract negotiations have been very pleasant with a new coop. but it means a move again. sigh.. when will the moving stop???? IDK.. i just know i will be making more money as a first year than the rest of my cohort.. and all i can say is that the hard work is paying off... and I feel appreciated there. ONWARD :pirate-steer:

The Police Chief went and spoke to this mope and was shocked he admitted to this theft. Supposedly he still had the donation box and told him how much was inside. He then went on to provide the following excuse. I know KC has cameras everywhere and just thought I would get yelled at and maybe put on a timeout (something I often do with my shoplifters). The reason I took the box was because I came to the store to do a hand to hand drug transaction of 3 ecstasy pills. They inadvertently fell out of my hand and into the donation box. I did not have the money to pay my dealer so I took the box to get my pills back. Geeze Steve (the mope), I never saw your hand hover over the donation box, the only time I saw your hand near it was when you were carting it off.
If you are sneaky enough to take it out of my store to "recover your pills" ;), then sneak it back on in. My guess is that you would rather be thought of as a bumbling dealer than a mope who would steal from a child with cancer. Anyway the Chief is going to charge him. ^5

[Stone-Butch]

I started feeling great a couple minutes ago and now I feel better if thats possible. Knowing you found who took that donation box and he is going to pay for it makes me super happy. I hate thieves and liars and he is both. Good on you my friend. Keep my room ready for me eh. LOL. Hugs to you both.

[kittygrrl]

happy...sleepy

[RockOn]

feeling somewhat fragmented ...

I just woke up from a dream and am now sitting in a chair in my bedroom.

The dream was not about me or anyone I know. It was about all people everywhere, people who are suffering with the virus, what they are experiencing, thinking, feeling.

I wish I could hug the world's pain away.

Last night I read an article about how weird people's dreams are right now. They think it has something to do with being removed from all the stimulus of the day, when you're quarantined, and the narrow focus on things on that are stressful. There's just so much to process, I don't think our brains get through it during the day and that leaves more work for the unconscious. Also sleep disorders are up. Maybe more people are using Ambian, which I've heard gives you vivid dreams. I have about five seconds of feeling okay in the morning when I wake up, before I remember what is happening.

[Orema]

Tired and didn't sleep well. Not working tomorrow and will catch up on rest.

Wow, that's a fancy chair! I bet it's lovely, though. I thought paying $75 for my rolling computer chair was a bit much but I've had it for almost a decade now so it was worth it. As long as it works and you use it, right?

This is one example of why I hate people.

As for myself, I feel underappreciated. My company is essential so I have to work and I see notices in the few stores I do go into explaining the ways they are trying to help their employees. One company has even added a small surcharge to about half of their inventory and that money will go into a pot and be divvied out as a 'bonus' to their employees. There's gratitude there and in the signs people have put in their yards for first responders and in relief efforts in D.C. to help nursing home employees as they are right in the thick of it. It may not be "enough" as enough is different for each person, but it's something.

And I'm getting nothing. While having to deal with customers like Example A. Example A comes into the store, having passed TWO "Please wear a face mask" signs, and he does have one on. We have to walk to a secondary location and during the walk, the mask finds it's way down past his nose. Fine, the nose covering is for him so whatever. Then, as we make our way back into the office, the mask just kind of drops and there is nothing protecting me from his germs. Once he's gone, I can sanitize the counter and spray the air but I have to wade through his breathed on air in which particles hang for up to 3 hours and I can't wait that long. I have to clean between each and every customer. I hold my breath but who knows what clings to what and now it's on the outside of my mask so I REALLY can't touch it, because we all know we shouldn't but we do. Mostly subconsciously but there's a whole lotta face touching going on out there.

Then I feel bad because I still have a job and a third of my state does not but then I heard what someone I know is getting from unemployment and it's got me riled up again because this person is making more money sitting at home on their ass and being safe and contained than I am, having to deal with inconsiderate a-holes who say, "It's okay, I don't have it." You don't know, buddy! 25% of people that have COVID-19 are asymptomatic.

Then I feel bad again because those that were laid off need to save that money since they won't have a job to come back to when the extra $600/week ends in July, I think. Not sure if it's June or July.

Then I get annoyed at my employer again because they make it sound like they are doing something but everything "they" are doing has been mandated, so it's not their idea. They just don't want to get fined.

Basically, I am on an emotional roller coaster, up one moment and gratefule that I am healthy and employed...pissed off the next for a variety of reasons...and then sad, also for a variety of reasons. Rinse, lather, repeat.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

A little sleepy. A little hungry. But overall, pretty good.

[Chad]

I feel great!

I talked to an old buddy today and that was wonderful. I think we said I love you 20 times. We met in 1993 when I was in college.
Oh how old friends bring you home.

[Gemme]

Today has not been my day. This morning, one of my cats puked in 4 dashes on the carpet (gross) and this evening, a medical procedure got messed up. I didn't know why at the time but then I remembered that I ate something I probably shouldn't have yesterday and that's what likely did it.

Doh.

[kittygrrl]

a little apprehensive my kitty buddy may have worms, so vet tomorrow..he hates going there..so he will be mad at me for a little while :(

[FireSignFemme]

Happy! I never thought I'd be this happy to have the opportunity to spend money on toilet paper. And despite hearing near every other day not to expect timely delivery of anything because the mail is all bogged down to have it arrive so quickly. It's like I've won the lottery.

[Orema]

Worried about people not practicing smart Covid19 guidelines. Thank goodness they haven’t opened our company ... yet.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tired and hazy. Got to put a report together for my boss in the next hour and a half, and not sure how I'm going to keep my mind on it.

torn and conflicted.....

to be honest... even a bit disappointed

[RockOn]

feeling somewhat edgie ... trying to work kinks out of a complex SQL statement ... need to get data to users ... this laptop my employer provided for home is hopped up, very nice but when I am needing it the most, it seems to drive bumpy ... similar to antiquated COBOL software (helmet required before executing) that has had a bazillion patches ... have lost connection numerous times today ... then have to log in at 5 different areas with different passwords to get back on and get to my stuff ... security a little much, you think?

with what people in the world are experiencing who have the virus, this is really not even a deal at all ... will get it completed and to users eventually

[Orema]

Good and a little nervous.

I gave my notice earlier this week and started the exit process yesterday. Three things happened in one day that broke the camel's back and made me realize "settling" isn't always good. Money will be tight(er), but I'll manage.

They've asked me to stay till June 30 to complete my projects and document some of my processes. Which I'll do because this company has been good to me and I would never leave them in the lurch.

I came into this company with a smile on my face and with my dignity intact. I will leave the same way.

Things could be worse.

[RebelDyke]

accomplished...

when i make a list of everything i needed to do and everything i have done...well none of it matters now because the most important part was submitted successfully with three minutes to spare..:glasses: NOW... we wait... :seeingstars:

and just like that.. disappointed, disgusted by people who take advantage of kind people.. and the new noisy a$$ neighbors.. is pushing me to my greatest limits.. I mean we are talking Britney Spears (2007) level....:sunglass:

Angry, worried, concerned!!!.. I saw my first 5g tower today!! Funny how they got that installed while we are all stuck in our homes in self-isolation!!:angry:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Not very well. I'm starting to think I have one of those "moderate" cases of Covid-19. I've been blaming my shortness of breath on my previous case of pneumonia, but it's getting worse. I'm calling my doc Monday.

[RebelDyke]

really wishing i could have time to stop and celebrate my achievements... project dissertation was successfully accepted and I passed with flying colors!.....:praying: but it seems life these past few months have been living from one deadline to the next... when does it let up??? just when? :hamactor:

[JDeere]

Tired...I have over done alot this past week!

[Stone-Butch]

A little more stable in my thoughts. Better mostly.

[Ginger]

Do you have an oximeter? So you can measure your oxygen output? Do you have a testing site you can visit? Doctor visit via video? Be safe! I'm sorry you're sick.
Edit: Sorry, I meant this to be a response to GeorgiaMa'am.

[Gemme]

Definitely get your doc to make that testing appointment so you can find out for sure. No matter what it is, I hope you feel better soon.

I'm okay. Tired, but that's par for the course. Maybe I can get to bed early tonight to make up for my shortage last night.

[easygoingfemme]

___________________________________________

I'm feeling sun kissed and relaxed after two days working outside all day. We built up a new compost station, mowed, weeded, planned irrigation, found some bees, transplanted more seeds that are sprouting, and got a little bit of sunburn.

Just the kind of break I needed for a couple of days away from work.

Ugh, is right. The problem is that I'm so tired I really don't want to leave the house for a test, and I'm not sure what it would help to know anyway. If I'm still feeling crappy after 14 days, then it might be worth a test. I'll do whatever the doctor says in any case, though.

Thanks everybody for the get well wishes.

I get that. Who wants a giant Q tip shoved up their nose and into their brain, right? But if you start to feel worse or you start having respiratory issues, you should definitely do something about that. Gotta keep you around, lady.

I did get more sleep and I felt a little better upon waking but I'm having weird murdery mystery Criminal Minds type dreams but I haven't watched the show in a bit so I don't know what my brain is trying to work out and that's a wee bit tiring in itself.

[Kätzchen]

The past two days have been really nice, so I'm feelin' pretty good tonight.

:balloon:

[FireSignFemme]

Tired. Everyone is working or looking after their children plus babysitting for their friends, single moms who have to work. So that leaves me to do a lot of shopping because right now I'm the one with the most free time. I was up all night putting carts together at different stores because no one has everything on our list. It's difficult because you put all this time into it and in the end you don't really know how much you're going to get of what you ordered until you get there. How singles, families, couples who have to work are doing this, I don't envy them at all.

[Orema]

In a funk because I just heard about Little Richard. Was just playing his music this week.

[AlexF]

I am struggling to find a balance. My work has always surpassed the 'normal working day', I have to always take work home, but since I shifted remotely, it has become more and more challenging to know when to stop. Having a 12-hour difference in time is not helping either. Regardless of the difficulty, I still feel incredibly grateful and privileged that I can work remotely.

I feel pretty good. I have to keep positive cause I know that if I start doubting that when my ship comes in I will be at the airport.

Feeling so delighted that I was able to surprise my Mom with deliveries all this week. I know it's been hard for her not to be social with her groups she belongs to.

A little surprise just makes a Mom's day fun!

With things loosening up I'm going to plan a visit. Gas is cheap!

I am taking a page out of your book since gas IS so cheap.. I will be going to explore towns in the OTHER direction since i only know the area from where i used to live to where I live now.. and there is NOTHING but cattle country between here and there...sigh

[Kelt]

Sad. It’s Mother’s Day and I cannot visit my mother due to lock down restrictions. I had scheduled to spend a week with her. (w)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

About the same as the last time I posted. I don't have Covid-19 - turns out it is blood clots in the lungs and legs. I want another Covid-19 test though - I heard (rumor from my sister) that "they" have found out that blood clots are a sign of Covid-19, and there are way too many false negatives for the tests. I think I will Google that.

[JDeere]

Agitated

Im on new meds and people are expecting way too fucking much right off the bat.

[clementinefemme]

Accomplished! I got so much done today.

[RebelDyke]

i think it could be best said through interpretive dance...

that good kind of exhausted..but at the same time restless.. I am certain it is because of the weather!

[Bèsame*]

⛳⛳⛳Feeling like I might tune into the televised golf tournament today. I think I feel the need for some sports competition. Even just to hear announcers give play by play action. Well, even if it's slow play by play and I won't really know what I'm watching. I remember my Dad watching this and wonder how he could do it? I think he just like to make comments to the tv. Lol lol

ya ya sure blame the weather soooooo typical ~ maybe your loins are restless lololol ~ na na na na naaaaaaaaa

[Chad]

I feel great. Yeah it sucks out in the world but I am finally home for a while.

Truth be told I do miss travel. I miss my friends.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Much better. After I last posted, I ended up in the hospital AGAIN - my feet swelled to an enormous size, and even the touch of the sheet on them was painful. I had to call the ambulance again because I couldn't put any weight on them. They pumped me full of steroids at the hospital and now I can (barely) walk from my bed to the bathroom.

I'm also on oxygen. I got that second Covid-19 test I wanted, and it was again negative. My lungs seem to be clearing up really well, though.

It is good to be home. It's impossible trying to get any rest in the hospital. I also got a very speedy, but much needed, shower. I have clean sheets on my bed, and good friends who check on me regularly and bring me food. They are watching me in shifts and taking turns staying in my guest room. I'm very grateful.

I've heard that too. I'm glad you're being diligent.

Happy..
Happy to have our Georgia Ma'am home from the hospital😊😄😀

I have not logged on here in a while ... I am feeling sincere concern for GeorgiaMa'am.

GeorgiaMa'am, hope you feel better very soon and doctors can fix you!

Big Hugs to You, Dear Friend!

[Stone-Butch]

Feeling like I got hit by a Mack truck. Went with my buddy for pizza last night and tripped over the curb, slammed into the wall, (happy it wasn't a window) and got a nice goose egg and painful shoulder. Still have a headache today. What a clutz.

[homoe]

I hate to be a "copy cat" but I also feel like I got hit by a Mack Truck...:blink:

I didn't trip or fall but yesterday was brutal......

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm feeling a little peeved because I'm sitting here waiting for the home health nurse and she is 47 minutes late. - Yesterday she called me at 3:00 pm and said, "Are you ready for our 4 o'clock appointment?" Uh, I'm like, appointment? We don't have an appointment. I can't see you today.

I wasn't just being a bitch. The door downstairs was locked and I had no way to let her in, since I can't go up and down the stairs yet.

Yes, I'm peeved. 50 minutes.

[theoddz]

I'm feeling anxious. I'm going in to the hospital early tomorrow morning to have another kidney stone lithotripsy in my right kidney. I had the last stone lithotripsied and removed in December of 2018 (right kidney, same as last time) at the VA, and the experience of it was just awful. So, I'm not going to the VA this time. I'm going to use my private insurance. Everything will be done in one shot tomorrow morning and I should only have a stent in my ureter for, at the very most......ten days, following the procedure.

Still, this sucks and I'll be glad when it's all done and over with. :twitch:

Thoroughly annoyed,

((( oddz )))) "OUCH" good luck ~ just remember how good you will feel after :) is it a uric acid stone ? ( most common )

[Stone-Butch]

Moe be glad you didn't get hit by my truck. My headache won't go and I will only take Tylenol. I finally got to get it checked as my neighbor took me to the hosp. and they told me I had a concussion. SO, no driving, rest, get up slowly and walk slowly. I get a bang and they turn me into a crippled turtle LOL. The Dr. said it takes time for a concussion to fade so I have to put up with the wooshing in my and the clicking in my ears till it stops itself LOL.

[FireSignFemme]

Physically - like I've been hit by a truck. Toothache. I'm not sure why but though I can take all kinds of pain elsewhere not in my mouth. This, this has been raging for a couple of days now. I've had tooth pain so hard, so long now it's giving me a headache.

Mentally, emotionally - HAPPY!!! I got to see my newest grandson today, he is such a cheerful baby, hardly ever fusses or cries. When he does as soon as you fix whatever is wrong he stops and goes right back to being all smiles again. Easy baby. So cute, so fun.

[Orema]

Tired. Am working this weekend and probably next weekend. Am still only going to work and back home.

Will be inside at home or in my office at work all weekend. Wishing others would stay in, too, but I know that's not gonna happen.

:seeingstars:

[Bèsame*]

I'm literally feeling good. Somehow, I'm going to feel stuck. Confined. I'm getting my brakes done this afternoon and I get a ride back to my apt. I think knowing my car isn't here is playing with my mind. Lol. I've been holed up in here for weeks. Why should it feel different? Right?

I have no plans that can't wait till later.

[RebelDyke]

words alone cannot express how i am feeling... soooo here it is again...another interpretive dance for you...

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm feeling pretty well all things considered . . . still recovering. A little nervous about starting PT next week - I hope the therapists don't come in here expecting me to be all athletic or anything. I'm willing to do the work - but I don't like pain - who does? - and I don't like being goaded into doing anything. They will need to be very, very nice to me to get the best results. I am not a good patient.

[Stone-Butch]

Still feel like I have been on a spinning ride. My headache will not subside. I can wall around less and less without stumbling and listing to all the inner ear sounds like swish and knock. Light hurts my eyes, noise hurts my ears, damn I wish that nurse would get around here so she can communicate with the Dr again. I hate feeling so volnerable. That's not me.

[Bèsame*]

feeling shocked and still in disbelief.
..

I filled out a harassment form yesterday.

[Stone-Butch]

Saw the Dr. today and am going to get am MRI on my skull LOL and the l knee has a torn LCL (outside) ligament. Cold press and physio. Pain does not distract me it just annoys me.



I must add I hate when I see women bullied by anyone.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Relieved and awkward and hesitant. I narrowly missed getting fired today, but two of my coworkers are now gone. Except, they're not really gone, they're supposedly going to hang around and work for another month - awkward (at least we're still working from home, but we'll see how much longer that lasts). Hesitant because I'm not quite sure what to do or say (except "Yes, boss.")

[RockOn]

Gosh, that is scary!

Sending supportive thoughts your way ...
Hugs from your friend,
RockOn

[clay]

(((((((((((((((((((GeorgiaMa'am))))))))))))))...mu ch love my friend!

[RockOn]

feeling exceptionally good this morning :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Extra-relieved and lazy - Our boss canceled our staff meeting for the next two days - so no awkward encounters today or today. (She's a coward.) Oddly, I am uninspired to do any work.

[FireSignFemme]

Guilty about pretending to be happy, cheerful, sunshiny. Like like I'm over being mad at J or wasn't bothered at all by her treating me poorly at a family event. It's just now with my grandson involved, when it comes to being real, the stakes are so much higher.

Guilty for feeling jealous about my son's stepmother babysitting while J goes to a doctor's appointment. I know it's safe and sane that, in the unlikely event of just in case, I don't. Still it bothers me that she can and I can't.

Guilty for being petty and immature when I know it's only temporary. Just until he can pick up the phone and dial 911. Especially when between the two of us I'm actually the one who gets to spend more time with him because unlike her I don't have to work.

Besides after all he's not my grandson, he's OUR grandson. Hell I'm over 50 and I learned before the age of 7 it's nice to share, yet here I am, still working on it.

[cinnamongrrl]

Tired
Anxious
Carefully optimistic

In that order.

[~SweetCheeks~]

Exhausted, relieved yet still frustrated at my partners Dr.

[Chad]

I am happy.

[theoddz]

I am feeling much better, in a way, than I was. I finally got the painful kidney stone out. The procedure had been delayed due to the hospital's equipment issues, and I suffered for a couple of weeks until they could get that worked out. It was okay. I had meds for the pain/discomfort, and it was quite a bit disconcerting to have been pee'ing blood for that entire time, but all's well that ended well with that. But then.....

I found out, after my kidney stone removal, that I had developed two clots that had traveled to my lungs (pulmonary embolisms), so my hospital stay for the kidney stone removal ended up being 4 days longer than we thought. The clots, both of them, are NOT in the greater pulmonary blood vessels, so that was a piece of good news. Incidentally, I have always been at a greater risk for developing these types of clots, due to my having had 9 surgeries, including the replacement of both of my knees, with revisions. So, the good part is that they found the embolisms in good time and I am currently undergoing both oxygen and anticoagulant therapy with that drug, Xarelto. That drug is so frippin' expensive that a great many folks just cannot afford it, even with the best health/medication coverage. Even with my excellent health insurance (I'm a retired federal employee), the copay for this medication was/is $400 for a 30 day supply. So, I called the VA and got them to approve and prescribe this medication for me right away. I'm a very lucky guy, in that these embolisms/clots were found before they could have really f*cked me up, or even killed me and.......that I have full VA/military benefits that can get me the medications and care that I need with no expense to me. I've always said..... G-d is, indeed, very, very good. :winky:

So, my most sincere thanks to out to all of my friends here who have been keeping me in their thoughts and prayers, and to those who have reached out in loving support to me. Believe me, it certainly is strengthening to know that I have friends and a community that is behind me, 150%. Ya'll are great!!!! Thank you, everyone!!! :cheer:

I am as giddy as a tinder hook up getting his "balls played with"..... lol omg..


(things you hear when your neighbors are having sex.... glad somebody is gettin some.....) sigh

Tired and looking forward to the morning when I wake up only to roll back over and sleep some more.

[FireSignFemme]

fantabulous!!!!!!!!!

[cinnamongrrl]

Bored and caged.

I need to find some fun. Maybe Monday....I never used to be so dull.:blink:

[Kelt]

Human! After four months I finally got a haircut. :mohawk:<<>>:buzz cut:

[clementinefemme]

I'm stressed because there's a mouse in my apartment and I don't want to kill him. I want him to live his mouse life freely and openly, just not with me. So I set up some no-kill traps and I'm hoping I'll be able to release him into the wild when he finds his way into one. But I also know I'm squeamish with rodents, so I might be a mess... *channeling strong independent woman who handles mice ethically and effectively*

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Like I am improving! I made it up and down the stairs twice every day for the last four days! Plus, I am doing my PT. And, my lungs don't seem to be as full of stuff these days as they were since the pneumonia.

[Gemme]

Okay. Tired. Relieved. Tired.

[clementinefemme]

Rodent update: He left of his own accord!! The best of all possible scenarios!

[Wrang1er]

Sleepy... always sleepy.

[Bèsame*]

Tired. And very happy! I get a reprieve! Tomorrow will be day #13 of working. I was told to take the weekend off. I had to shake my head and say..the weekend ?? Like Sat AND Sun??

Happy dance! Sleep in mornings!!

Congrats! Yesterday was also day 13 in a row for me and this is my first full weekend off since March. I am very happy and honestly don't know what to do with myself but I'll figure it out.

[Orema]

Feeling sentimental and nostalgic.

[Stone-Butch]

Feeling very unhappy. Knee injury is a torn LCL which in time will heal. Dr. says cold compresses and I have to start physio this coming week. Head is called a concussion with pulsatile tinnitus. Have no idea of cause as of yet. I think maybe going back into my cave is now called for.

[C0LLETTE]

Hopeful.

Hoping that peaceful demonstrators are not harmed by Trump's Storm Troopers....
and that the Fascist, Neo-Nazi agitators get dragged off, arrested, identified as what they are and Trump is left with one more nasty lie smeared on his surgically faked-up face.

[Starfish]

Every bone in my body hurts. Can't do weekend warrior stuff anymore without paying for it. My wife, however, texted me and said when she gets home from work she is getting out the massage table and working on me. I love this woman. Spoiled I am.
