It's cold but i got my dog outside today. She doesn't like to stay long tho. After a few minutes she starts racing between me and the gate. It's pretty funny how she doesn't talk but she sure gets her point across!
I tried Scrabble but it was too unpleasant. I don't dare try soaps in this mood, i won't be able to tolerate them at all. I got a few things at the convenience store here in the building and the cashier who i haven't seen in a while said, "What's new and exciting?" You know how i want to hear THAT. I just mumbled.
I guess i'll just sit quietly. Sometimes i feel better once night falls.

In the past, I attended a number of DBSA support groups and had times when I left feeling worse. Truth is, sometimes people who are ill are not particularly supportive or pleasant to be around. Sounds horrible, but it is true. No fault in anyone leaving a meeting when they are triggered. In my old DBSA meetings (in-person), they split the meeting into two groups/rooms. There were times when I simply went to the group that didn't have a particular person in it. I know that's hard online, unless you can mute them.
Have you heard of the new online game Wordle? It's the latest thing that's going viral. My husband always did the NY Times "Spelling Bee", but has now mostly shifted to Wordle. Even today Google is featuring it. It's not too far from the idea of Scrabble.
