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.

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

I'm icing, medicating, resting and splinting. Anyone ever experienced this before?

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.

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.

nightmare..maybe cocoa would help



it's helping..a little

[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!

[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.

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*

[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.

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. <---determined

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

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
