Restless! i

And it can't be "cabin fever" because it WAY too early in the season for that right....

Is this the person that drove off to let you move stuff by yourself? Am I remembering that right? If so, and you've talked to them about that and nothing has changed for the better, move on. But before you do, make it absolutely clear as to what the consequences will be and why you are letting go. Do not make an ultimatum but let them know that you're trying and you aren't getting anything back and you aren't willing to spend a lifetime trying to crack whatever kind of nut they are. Then listen to them. Really listen. Are they talking in circles just to get you to hang around or are they trying too, but not in the way you want them to? That would create two very different results, if it were me.

Emotionally whipped and we're not even halfway through January!

theoddz · 01-12-2021, 10:16 AM

Well, I'm feeling a little "muted", so to speak, but aside from my sore left arm, I'm doing well.

I had my first COVID-19 vaccination yesterday.

I think I'll just take it easy today, sit around in my underwear and eat snacks all day.

Life's good.

I think we've all got cabin fever due to isolating. I keep dreaming of running away to a beach vacation . . . then I remember that people are isolating and social distancing on the beaches, too.

I'm tired of juggling the horrifying and the devastating.

I'm with Randy Rainbow and I wish the horrifying assault on democracy would end so I can get back to my devastating pandemic.

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-12-2021, 07:49 PM

After Wednesday's Capitol event, I think I'm going through the stages of grief. At first I had disbelief, and now I'm just angry. Bargaining - meh, I don't see it happening any time soon. And I don't think I'll ever make it to acceptance, but I don't want to hang around in depression forever, either.

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-24-2021, 05:20 PM

Feeling disappointed and a little depressed. I didn't hear back about Reddy, so I guess she found her forever home with someone else. I expect the right dog for me will come along - they always have a way of finding me. I had such a good feeling about Red though. <sigh>

EmeraldLioness · 01-25-2021, 09:12 PM

Calm...introspective...tired

I'm annoyed with the state. I had my federal taxes about done and was working on the state taxes and when I go to finish it all up, a blurb pops up saying I can't finish my state taxes for 3 more days. This is what I get for trying to get ahead of the stampede.

Yup. Me too. They are like... well well well early bird, we're not ready for you!

I'm feeling relieved to be home. The snow is horrible right now and our city sucks at keeping up with the streets. While I was making my commute home I knew my daughter was making her commute in to work so it was double stress. What is normally a 10 minute drive took both of us 45 minutes. Now I have to deal with waiting until after 1am to hear that she made it home.

I'm also feeling hungry now that the panic from driving has let go of my stomach.

Stone-Butch · 01-27-2021, 11:59 AM

Feeling pretty good. My brother is on his way here its been a while. He and I only go shopping for groceries and don't see anyone else so I think it is ok. If not, I would rather share his virus than a stranger (not) LOL.

Gemme · 01-27-2021, 10:03 PM

I feel good. My hair's almost dry from my shower and the laundry is almost done so it'll be bedtime soon. I'm getting that slightly dozy feeling when the body knows sleep is not far off.

homoe · 02-07-2021, 11:37 AM

~~
I think it's mainly due to travel restrictions but who knows!

I'm also sick of this place where I'm plunked, out in god's country on green acres, with no chance of any excitement happening whatsoever!

I've mostly been a "glass half full" type, but it's getting harder and harder to remain so...

Stone-Butch · 02-07-2021, 12:36 PM

Not feeling too bad but would feel a lot better if it was warmer than 17 out there in that warm "looking" sunshine".

FireSignFemme · 02-07-2021, 03:07 PM

I keep feeling this sense of dread and doom I just can't shake. Like whatever it is, I better hurry up and duck before it flies straight at me and hits me in the face.

Orema · 02-07-2021, 06:01 PM

Feeling good. Things are going well and better than planned. I should be in a hotel on Lake Michigan this time next week anxiously waiting to see my new place.

This coming week will be a blur with final packing, hauling, movers, cleaning, traveling, hotels, goodbyes.

Thank goodness for the good girlfriends I have who are helping me through this transition. From talking me through my anxieties to helping me decide on renovations (no one has anything good to say about popcorn ceilings!) to packing, helping me organize and research quotes, and reminding me of what I need and need not do.

I have taken organization to a new level, at least for me. My packed boxes are color coded and numbered. I am taking inventory before and after the move, and before signing off on anything. Hopefully this will help. We’ll see. I on’t have it in me to take the movers to court if things dont go well, but I’ll do what I can to prevent anything bad from happening.

So, I’m feeling good, excited, sentimental. Life is good.

Sounds like you have it all under control, and like an auspicious beginning!

I am feeling sore all over, like I've been sat on by an elephant. I understand this can be one of the lingering symptoms from Covid though - hopefully it is temporary. It is supposed to be mostly sunny with a high of 56*F tomorrow, so I'm planning to walk outside with my rollator in the driveway. Hopefully, that will help me shrug off whatever this is.

Stone-Butch · 02-08-2021, 09:38 AM

OK what powers that be are annoyed with me? Yesterday I thought it would be nice to be a little warmer than 17 and mother nature was listening. Today it is changed and it is now 10. Consequently I need to watch who I am making requests from eh.
