How are you feeling right now?

Trying to get back in shape after over a year of sitting and teaching from home. Catching up on a lot of housecleaning. And sorting a lot of personal stuff out after being in a major car accident last month (everyone was fine, and we have a new car now). So, a bit all over the map, but doing what I gotta do.

If I suddenly don't log in for like a year, please pour me a glass. 😂

Please, don’t even joke about something like that 😥 I know you worry about sounding like you’re complaining, so things must be really bad to open up about it. I’m glad to hear your family is looking after & supporting you in the midst of all this. I wish I had something inspirational or deep to say, but it seems like I always come up short when it counts. That bad jokes & rambles are all I have a talent for. Keeping you in thought & prayers though.

In the hope that something lighter may take your mind off things:

It's nice to be in the old home again and my younger sis is sticking around. I miss my babies though (I've got five dogs 🙃). They're staying with my brother, he's probably secretly upset about that. No sane person has five dogs, I know. 

For a brief period of time my family did (more dogs than people 🤣 )3 or 4 at a time was the norm though. All shelter dogs or strays. Which makes not having any at all since early this year feel strange. First time since I was 3 years old.

It helps not to peel your skin off when the Echo pads come off. Would of loved to have known that after the EKG. 

I should definitely stock some of those. At the risk of TMI, I’ m rather hirsute with the exception of the top of my head. Which makes removing any sort of bandage something that requires gritting my teeth. Embarrassing to admit but I actually missed removing an Echo pad on my back where I couldn’t reach/see once & didn’t realize till it came off in the shower a couple days later 😂

Please get some rest & whatever help you need. And check in when you can

I'm the one with the extra talent for bad jokes. xD If I can't turn the morbid into an ironic giggle than the old gal has truly run out of steam

My own take is if I couldn’t laugh at myself, I’d be missing out on some darn funny jokes :P

I think dogs are an important part of life in general! xD Oh no, I'm so sorry. :( I bet it does feel strange. I love surrounding myself with them but I know I'm going to be heartbroken when the time comes. Again, that is. I lost two from old age and have never forgotten. 💔 But to have had them in the family at all was a blessing!

Each one we had was a “family” dog, but seemed to bond with one particular member of the family more than the others. And each one had their own unique behaviors & habits. Sadly my first dog was the only one to pass in her sleep, the others had to be put down eventually which was always a painful decision. As much as I would like to get another one, it doesn’t seem right to leave it alone all day while I’m at work. Maybe when/if I get to retire.

Alas, I've been resting. 

I should actually be asleep myself right now, as I still have work tomorrow. Will hopefully have Friday off along with Thanksgiving.

Hang in there & I hope you get the physical & mental healing you need.

Ever since my early 20's I've had seasonal depression. Not every year. I don't know how anyone lives alone and doesn't crack. Moving from a roommate's was the worst decision of my life.

Depends on the person. I had no issues living alone. I was always talking to friends, though lol. It's always a strong move to find a few friends that are willing to talk...or just listen. Isn't that what we are here for??

One of my problems is wanting to settle down. Did not expect to be feeling this way at least not until much later. XD

I still talk to my closest friends but when I went to university outside of the city we drifted apart. Came back to finish school closer to home but I can't shake the homesickness. Thanks man, anime forums might be a small website but the users are open and genuine.

Ready to go back to bed after sleeping a couple hours earlier (currently 4 am :P ) Probably won’t want to go out before noon anyway because it’d freaking cold outside 🥶

I often do the biphasic thing myself.  Oyasuminasai.  😴

Oh boy here I go...

Well, I've been suffering with chronic depression ever since I was 9, and before I go on, this is not something I am asking for sympathy on, this is just me getting my emotions out there.

Life has been a struggle, existing has been a struggle. So really, not so sure how I feel anymore to be honest. I'm very numb-- yet..very..sad. My days are never enjoyable, so I sorta exist without a purpose in my opinion. But overall how I feel is..stressed, down, numb, tired, and unable to enjoy existence. 

FYI -- I am in therapy, so please do not seek help for me.

Cold. Once temps get in the single digits the boiler struggles to keep the house warm. Don’t notice it under the blankets, but once I’m up 🥶.  Been running space heaters some, but don’t like to too much. Wish I’d had the chimney cleaned so I could start a fire <reminder to not forget it this year>. Admittedly it’s not bad compared to some winters in my childhood (make a crack about the ice age & I’ll hit you with my club) and we’ve been able to avoid ice & snow for the most part unlike some unfortunate souls. Guess I got spoiled from some of the milder ones. At least the office is warmer (motivation to go to work :P ) ‘bout that time.

@Kreideprinz Sorry to hear about your dad, hope things work out ok. Problem neighbors are the worst. Back when I lived in the country, we had one who’s dogs would chase my car down our lane when I came home. Which of course prompted our dogs to come to the rescue. On the few occasions it resulted in more than just barking, theirs’ always got the worst of it since ours were bigger. So it was our fault even though it was our property & they made no attempt to keep them home. Not having to deal with them was definitely a plus when we moved.

Was spitting snow when I drove home tonight, but not amounting to anything. Supposed to stay in the 20s overnight, so an improvement. No plans for the weekend.

It's supposed to snow again Sat. too. 😑

Hear the East Coast/New England could get hammered. Don’t know how much of an impact it will have on your area, but hope you & your family stay safe.

Currently 5F here. Had light snow all day yesterday. Actual accumulation is provably less than an inch. But in some ways it seemed worse because people thought they could still do the usual stupid stuff behind the wheel and get away with it. Think I’ll focus on at home projects today (plenty of them anyway :P ) and save the outside errands fur tomorrow when it’s a little warmer.

I like how collectively, everyone is just cold and tired.
