5 Things I'm Thinking Today

1 Not too hot here yet. Humidity on the rise.
2 Hair appointment today. What trouble shall I get into?
3 Suicidal animals? That cat though ...
4 Tired of these allergies. But at least the medicine helps me sleep.
5 New treasures from Book Off. Perfect treat on this rainy day.
 
Why do I always fall so short of my own goals/objectives?
Pushing through and mastering some of my smaller fears, but the bigger one's still leave me frozen.
"Work smarter not harder", who makes up these saying and really show me how they work. :oops:
How much hair can a dog loose and they don't even look like they have started shedding their coat?
Some of the biggest and most profitable companies are the worst at paying their bills on time..go figure.
 
So many things to fear, so little time for the fear-based media to publish it all, but they tend to outdo themselves with each and every one.

So many berries growing, so little freezer space.

So many family members descending this week, so little desire to try to hang with them all, especially knowing how much many of them love to marinate in their favorite synthetic stank, along with their ongoing inebriation attempts, animal flesh and other secretions being cooked and constantly consumed, and the smell of cigs around every corner...sighs...will celebrate their presence from afar.

So much food to prep, cook, plate, and deliver...so little motivation to get started.

So much beauty to be observed, I think I'll just head outside and soak it up while I work on igniting some forward momentum...that helps the outlook when nothing else does.
 
1. Thank God my cat came home (she'd gotten out and wouldn't come when called... for 5 hours).
2. Nice to read some before bed with a bed full of animals (can't do that when mister is home).
3. Slept well, felt safer and was content... even with Nicoal having escaped.
4. Glad/relieved mister made it safely to Indy for the conference and he misses us already.
5. Glad that there were no fatalities when a shooter in Alexandria disrupted the last practice of the traditional Dem/Repub House base ball game.... reports of 50-60 bullets fired but no fatalities. Praise Jesus.
 
Thinking how excited I used to get when I had a break thru, accomplished a 'tough one'.
Thinking I wonder what it feels like to not have the ever present depression.
Thinking I wish I was a 'crier', I know I would feel better with that release.
Thinking I would like to burn this cluttered house to the ground and start over.
Thinking I have to keep my purpose front and center, or there is no point to this.
 
@intothelight I know. I swear I've brushed out a full dog but there's much more hair to go. My other dog sheds, but not so much.

@The Albatross - I'm glad your cat came home

1) I need to wake the pup up, give her meds and send her out. she is going to be grumpy about that
2) I think I like my new position but I feel inferior. I'm a newbie all over again
3) I might nap
4) I get to walk two dogs. I really enjoy walking miss do-right, she's such a fun girl
5) My toe may not be broken. It looks less bruised. It's been a week? At least today I can see improvement which is good news
 
I sold some more dvds today and scraped my change together to buy smokes.:x3:
I did some things around here and my spirits are lifted now.:cool:
I am going to have a good day. So far so good anyway.:inlove:
It is so nice and hot and cool inside.:laugh:
I am going to go to bed early, nightmares last night.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
1. Job security in jeopardy, due to no fault of my own. I cannot, nor can afford to, not be working, and need too much to try to pay already, and not working or it's consequences I cannot live with.
2. Schedule so changed I'm open as it is to be sent anywhere to do virtually anything in the city til 11pm (I cannot/ do not drive). Picking up extra shifts/ vacation relief tempered by my avoidance of one call I cannot bear they can already call me for any time, regular shift included.
3. Boss coming to shadow myself in short time, don't know when, all others as well, requisite to orders from above (lay offs/ privatization).
4. Closest thing I relied on as therapy and staying above ground over in a week. Free and nothing to replace it. Was life-sustaining but also getting difficult because of sometimes gossip around and BS, though I avoided engaging in that. Why bother going for one more week, solely my problem and hope is dead.
5. Sister(s) who is ill, reaching out to them is an exercise in abuse, futility, and rejection. They are by others' definitions here, the closest I've seen to narcisistic in behaviour.
6. I should be sleeping or accomplishing something but I can do neither.
 
1 @Junebug I hope your job remains safe and secure. Oh, and #6 "stop shoulding yourself." (Thanks, T :rolleyes:) :p:hug:'s
2 Social interaction is exhausting, minutes or hours.
3 Dogs are now older than me. Getting grayer than me, too.
4 Even after my birthday this month. Wait, nu uh, no birthday.
5 Wonder if I got that jo -- food! Dessert? Trip to the crepe shop!
 
Its been a rough thirty days as I was in the hospital, then my cousin died and now my husband is in the hospital. I really could use the rest of the year to be dull and boring. :dead:

Next few days will be hard as I have to step up to the plate and take on a whole lot of tasks, and not that I have to "do" them, but I have to figure out how to get them done.

Realizing that almost half the year is gone and still looking for my direction. Time to stop overthinking it and just dive in.

Can't believe I get so busy that I didn't even know about a mass shooting. Thing is I believe that I prefer to be insulated or is that isolated? Insulated as the things going on right around me are more than I can handle at the moment and don't need any more external stimulus/stress.

I need my mojo or confidence back. I do a lot better when I have that belief in myself in spades. Need to remember that it isn't so much physical prowess at this point in my life, but mental and I need to do keep that rational side as the main operating system. I still can't do emotion.
