Wonderful! Well, I'll try to forget the scorching temps. It is the dog days of summer...

Feeling
 

Feeling pretty good. Won $500. on a scratch and win. Beats getting a kick in the butt with a frozen mukluk eh. *S

Horrible. I've been having headaches the past few days but low key, mild. Wasn't really sure what that was about but since they weren't non-stop or all that bad have been riding the things out with over the counters on an as needed basis. However today I woke up with dental pain so bad, now it's all about okay I don't care what you need to do here but as far as I'm concerned just hurry up and hacksaw it out! I already knew I needed follow up but getting a dental appointment has been LOL like pulling teeth with this pandemic going on. However Jillian managed to find a place accepting new patients with an opening today in just a couple of hours. So either restrictions due to this pandemic must be easing up. Or in just a couple of hours I'm going to see one of the worst dentists in America. One so desperate for patients they're willing to take on just anybody almost immediately. Wish me luck.

I'm sort of a bunch of mixed feelings tonight: I feel steady, and full of contemplation; yet I also have a deep feeling of reverence for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That kind of feeling. A good feeling. From a deep, deep place in my soul.

It's a really good day when I can start my work morning listening to Barack Obama's latest speech.

chill

Not feeling great because I had to cancel a bike ride with my friend this morning as I woke up with a migraine, but I'm gonna make it to dinner at another friend's after work.

Sleepy, but I'm always sleepy these days. Concerned about my cat, who has diabetes and a urinary tract infection. Worried that I will not get everything done that I need to get done before my surgery in September.

The dentist at the dental hygiene clinic at our community college had said it was an abscess. The dentist I saw yesterday she didn't know what it was, pointed to the x-rays and said – See this? It could be any number of things couldn't it? What the hell? I couldn't believe what I was hearing! So since she seemed a little crazy hesitantly I asked, well it wouldn't be an abscess would it? She thought about it and said – maybe, but I don't think so. Again I was like what the hell! So I asked her, what did she think it might be then? She said well it could be anything but most likely it's probably one of two things... either way here's what I'm going to do. She wrote me prescriptions for a rinse and antibiotic. I still don't know out of all the things it could be, how she narrowed it down to just two or what either of those two things it might me. She said if I needed to I could take two ibuprofen and if that wasn't enough two Tylenol along with it for the pain. As if I hadn't already tried that. She said if things got worse give them a call and they'd squeeze me in. What the... That's it? Oh, no, if all goes well, see you back in a month. If all goes well? In a month? Really?

Oh, hell no! I'm not going to let myself suffer and maybe die in agony just because some incompetent dentist, who asked me to read my own films, says that's what I ought to do. There was so much more wrong this dental experience I'll spare you the novel. Moral of the story a good dentist is worth their weight in gold. Anyhow, I came home and did emergency dental surgery. I had once before, for an abscessed tooth decades and decades ago. Every dentist I've seen since and stupidly told that too they've all said the same thing – Don't do it again!!! So keeping that in mind I did it again and in less than an hour was completely pain free. A little tender if touching it but well what's the easy answer for that – don't touch it!!! A few hours later I was able to eat a late dinner of canned stew. Today I felt so much better I was snacking on peanuts while waiting for my antibiotics to arrive. Anyhow I don't think I'm cured or even just well enough to try beef jerky yet, but at least now I can pain free continue my search for a competent dentist. I haven't had to take any pain meds at all today :)

Thank you for posting this, Rocks! Was just falling asleep as my foot started cramping. Ate a spoonful of mustard and it stopped within minutes. Hope you’re continuing to feel better.

Am feeling well.

Better. Am back to losing weight. Had gotten into a bit of a funk, but I stuck with it and eventually it’s starting to pay off again.

I think the losing-weight Gods like playing tricks on folk.

:bow:

Foul and I feel I might explode and blow my top any second now...:blink:

Donkey pet/companion

Been feeling a bit down lately so thinking about getting a pet.
Recently read that donkeys make excellent pet/companions and not expensive if you don't insist on pure-bred, championship stock.

'In fact, a growing number of people are buying donkeys for companionship rather than work. They don't need help with carrying firewood or pulling a cart; they just want a fun, friendly animal to brighten their days.'

I'll have to redo the second bedroom. Hope it's worth it. Fingers crossed.

Better. Thought I had mistakenly thrown out a recipe book received when my favorite aunt, Jessie, passed away. It has clippings, notes, and hand written recipes she made. Thank goodness it was stored with some cookbooks I seldom use anymore.

I found it just as I was about to give up and cry. So glad I found it.

Yep, I'm all up in my feelings this morning.

:bow:

always mixed feelings ☺ i'm stressed with school and ok let's say lonely 😕 just me and myself who's not always nice but i'm content to check here it's been a while ne

Feeling
 

I feel healthy but I have the travel ich. I want to go everywhere; Hawaii, Italy, Ireland, California, Maine, Mexico, Florida, and Canada.

This pandamic as tethered me. I guess many other folks feel the same way.

:flying:

OMG me too Chad!

I'm itching to go, I'll settle just for Chicago!

Yep, love to have a meal with you buddy.
I had a GF in Chicago years ago I really like that town.

Feeling
 

Feeling like I need a trip somewhere in North America. Canada or U.S, either is fine. Gotta wait to see what summer brings. Glad I have Skype to communicate and almost feel myself there.

I'm feeling that climate change depression... I know Mother Nature can recover from almost everything we throw at Her, but I feel like I'm not doing enough and I worry about our future.

half ready to deal with the day and half ready to go back under the sheets with earplugs
serieux i don't know it's can be the weather who does that

How am i supposed to write a paper about a course who goes over my head? 😅 i think improvisation is the word who'll follow me tomorrow 😱😅

Good but getting tired of the “same old, same old” routine each day. Have to remind myself I’m one of the lucky ones not forced to go out.

How are you feeling
 

Happy and confused.

Extremely, beyond measure, heart broken. On October 12th, I had to have my furbaby, my spirit animal, my little 15 year old love of my life put to rest because he had an enlarged heart that for some damn reason, after spending hundreds (maybe 2 or 3 thousand, I lost count) of dollars over the last 5 years, no one told me this was an issue. No one caught this until it was too late.
15 years he was my shadow and the most amazing companion I could ask for.
Life has been so empty without him.
He deserved better than I could give him.

Wonky, groggy, sleep deprived. I have somehow gotten myself onto a 36-hour sleep schedule - sleep 24 hours for a night and day, be awake all night for 12 hours, sleep 24 hours for a day and night, be awake all day for 12 hours. Oddly, I was trying _not_ to take too may pain pills and sleeping pills, so I only took pain pills when I felt pain and sleeping pills when I needed to sleep at night. The sleeping pills seem to have quit working at night sometimes but then they kick in the next morning and I sleep all day. Maybe I need to take them on a regular schedule regardless of how I feel. Oh, and my Prilosec is off kilter too - I get heartburn at the oddest times.

A combination of high anxiety and feeling scared. My city is on standby for massive rioting if the election goes awry. I am glad to leave town after work and will be worried to come back. :(

Feeling
 

Feeling a little nervous, hoping I am not taking her wrong.
