@LadyShadow are there any good movies or shows you can stream for a distraction? I’m sorry you’re struggling

[Crazy Hitch]

I’m going to get my nails done at the salon today. I’m thinking of getting a cat eye finish, if they do that. I’m so tired though and I only got out of bed at 6:30 which is good for me on a Sunday!

[June08]

Got up a little earlier than I have been today so I could hydrate before my IV appointment. The appointment went well-my favorite nurse/the one I trust the most took care of me. I just read and texted a couple of people while the IV was going. Afterwards, I stopped at Walmart and Starbucks. The infusion center I go to is in a rich town so the Walmart is actually pretty nice. And, there were plenty of cashiers plush the self check out lanes.

To all in places with high temps, hang in there! By me, it's actually a little cooler than it was a few days ago. We had two or three days where it was around 115 but it's "only" 104 right now. I'll take the dry heat I have over high temps with high humidity any day.

[Nammu]

Lady shadow I’m sorry you’re low, max movies is a good idea.

Blueberry 🫐 I love your pistachio, it’s great.

I’m back from my daughter’s house. But the heat zapped my appetite. I’ve still not eaten yet today. I forgot to stop at the pharmacy and get my meds. They are not open tomorrow and the close in 6 minutes. I think I have 3 left so that will hold me until Monday. The heat has also made me sooo tired. I need to jump in the shower but I’m so leathargic. I think I’ll give myself an hour to just relax then I’ll shower and eat.

[LadyShadow]

Hey @Blue_Bird - thanks so much for the suggestion - I actually started watching some more Catflish the TV show - I love that stupid show always puts me in a good mood, lol. I will look for some movies on MAX @Nammu - I was worried what the heat would do to me too = that's why I didn't venture outside today. Talked to my good friend in NYC too - she's without an air conditioner for a few days and I really feel for her - this week is going to be so brutal.

I'm feeling a little better - I went back on Paltalk, a chat program that I haven't been on in about 5 years and saw some familiar names. Went to my old chatroom and listened to some of their music, and chatted the time away for a while. Instantly felt better.

I can't let myself sink. There are so many outlets, so many things to be in connection with. I have to keep pushing myself. Oh, and @Blue_Bird - I don't know what insurance you have but I know Walgreens does delivery, so if you switch to Walgreens maybe you can work something out with them. I switched from CVS to Walgreens not too long ago, it was really easy to do.

[Crazy Hitch]

Nammu please send some heat my way lol. I went to the grocery store and it was 1 degree outside. Ice on the road and frost all over the grass. Ughhhh.

[Mountaindewed]

I've just been lazing in bed all day with golf on. My niece has been here all day and I've had major carb and sugar overload today thats starting to make me crash. I did get my room picked up and swept. But its really not a day to do much even inside. Although the kids still have baseball games.

I don't want to deal with something so I'm thinking along the lines of Jurrasic Park. If I ignnore it, it will go away. Not sure on the exact movie quote.

I’d love to send you 20degrees of heat, we have entirely too much.

[Blueberrybook]

I'd love to send some heat and very high humidity your way @Crazy Hitch! Of course, it's been pretty miserable here for awhile now. At least I have AC. I cannot believe I grew up in this area of Texas without AC! But when you're used to it, you're used to it. I always felt freezing cold in school in the hot weather because the school did have AC.

[Nammu]

Blueberry our weather guy is from Texas and he said it “feels like Texas out there” got heat warning and watch’s in our area today and tomorrow. Our low will be 77f. That’s what I always found so hard in Texas, it never cooled off at night. I turn the AC up in hot weather so it doesn’t have to work so hard.

Tonight two more episodes of Good Omens and one of a PBS cozy, sister Boniface.

Just got notice tomorrow’s grill out has been canceled, too hot to grill outside. We’ll have a potluck instead. Stay indoors were it’s cool.

[Blue_Bird]

I got on the treadmill tonight for 30 min. Glad I did cause I ran into my friend/neighbor and we are coordinating something with another neighbor where we all make a side of food for a dinner tomorrow. I offered to bake bread, she’s gonna cook catfish and our other neighbor is gonna make potatoes, turnips and carrots.

Anyway, after that I did 15 min of stress relief yoga which was nice. Trying to do that daily.

Feel really good

@LadyShadow I’m not sure if it would be any different with Walgreens. I have a duo combo of Medicaid and Medicare so not the best insurance regardless. If they don’t cover it with cvs I doubt they’d change that with Walgreens.
I’m glad you were able to find something fun to watch

[JaneOnceMore]

"M" told me that i make her happy when we're together! We've only been friends for a few months. The whole eleven YEARS i was friends with my "one close neighbor" she never said anything like that to me. Boy, i really have been choosing the wrong friends...

Today the White Supremacist friend of my "one close neighbor" said hello and called me by name and called my dog by a nickname and tried to get my dog to come to her. My "one close neighbor" was with her. They're lifelong best friends. I told my "one close neighbor" two weeks ago that i need time and i want privacy from her. She doesn't know it's permanent. She knew better than to talk to me. I just walked on by without a word. I don't owe anything to people who have emotionally abused and gaslighted me.

I emailed the White Supremacist that she has lost the privilege of calling me by my first name. My real first name, which is not "Jane," is obscure and it is far too intimate to hear from the mouths of people i dislike. I said for her and all persons having to do with the condominium to call me by "Ms. MyLastName," which puts everyone on notice that our relationship is business-only, being that we are all partners in the ownership of the condominium corporation. I am severing all social ties with neighbors who i feel uneasy with, which is most of them.

I'm getting back to the first nine years of my residency here, when i did not know my neighbors, and did not desire to know them. I did not attend building meetings or social events. We have a big social event coming up next Saturday. It's a BBQ and outdoor movie. I burnt my ticket to it.

I was a lot less unhappy with my home before i started socializing with my neighbors and got so enmeshed with my "one close neighbor." The inequality of our relationship has always bothered me. Now i know why. She did not regard me as a friend, but merely as an object to manipulate, on behalf of HER BEST friend, the White Supremacist.

So that's that. It took a life-threatening accident to get everyone to show their true colors, but at least i know who everyone is at last, and what the specific nature of my relationship is with them. It was a tremendous ordeal, but it did clarify things, and force me to make changes for the better.

[LadyShadow]

Today ended up turning out better.

Possible trigger:

But I am really shook up right now because of what's happening in the world. Will leave politics off of this board, but what happened tonight is really scaring me

. Thinking of my guy in California now, all I want to do is hold him close. Also nervous that my parents are New York right now, I wish they were home.

Again I know it is triggering for some who don't watch the news or stay away from it, so I won't say what it is - all I know is I am very scared right now.

[Moose72]

My friend said I could do my laundry at her place tomorrow! I’m out of hot weather clothes. Except what I’m wearing tomorrow. So I’ll go after church! Yay! I’m way low on money. I had two extra once-a-year bills this month is why. Ugh!

[June08]

My mood was alright again today. I'm sure getting out for my IV helped. This afternoon, I was able to do part of a work out video so that was good. I've spent to much time on my phone. It's only about 7 pm here so I am going to read a bit tonight. I have about 40 pages left in my book. If I finish that tonight or tomorrow, I can go to the library tomorrow to look for something else to read. I still have Harry Potter to read too.

[raspberrytorte]

@LadyShadow

I'm scared too.

[Nammu]

Me three
….

[BeyondtheRainbow]

Me four. I dont even know how to process it.

[BeyondtheRainbow]

For some reason my thermostat is set at 78 and my house is 80 degrees. It is so uncomfortable in here. I can't get to sleep because I'm too hot. I wish I had a fresh filter as that's probably the problem. I'll have to go get one tomorrow. This just started; it worked fine this afternoon.

I may open my windows but with humidity it's not much cooler out there.

I'm having trouble keeping myself away from the news.

I really hope this thermostat thing goes away. My mom is my landlord and I feel very guilty when she has to pay for something like this.

I keep thinking maybe I should try to sleep on the couch but that's just as hot. I could sneak into my mom's house but my niece is sleeping in the living room and there's no way I wouldn't wake her up.
There's just not a good solution, at least not one coming to my medicated brain.

I hope the rest of you are sound asleep except of course Crazy Hitch who I believe is halfway through her Monday? (I'm not sure about that).

[LadyShadow]

Said prayers for the world at mass today. Really worried about the state of the world, I'm scared. The church was really hot because the AC is still broken. It felt interesting, almost as if we were in old times, when there was no such thing as AC. I contemplated there for a while and thought about all the luxuries I have.

Going to meet one of the girls I met on the Bumble app for Mexican in about an hour. It's been a while since I had Mexican since the tornado took out my favorite restaurant last year. I am probably going to get some chimichangas.

I hope everyone has a good day today and stay away from the news if you can. I am worried too, but I am going to live the best life I can and enjoy each day. I just hope those lows don't come rushing back. @BeyondtheRainbow - I hope you were able to get some sleep and got your air conditioning fixed.

Hey glad you were able to work out and your mood was good. How far are you in Harry Potter now?

[Blue_Bird]

Good morning, I somehow slept almost 13 hours. To be exact, 12 hours 46 minutes which is crazy. I woke up around 11:30am when normally I’m up around 7-8:30am.

I have to be up early tomorrow so I plan on setting like 3 alarms. A few on my phone which I plan on setting across my room. Two on my physical alarm clock and one on my smartwatch. So hopefully with all that I’m able to get up on time tomorrow.

Todays just gonna be an exercise day for me

Anyway, hope you all are well

[Moose72]

Noah was wonderful today at church playing his Bach Fugue! He got lots of compliments!

[Mountaindewed]

I fell asleep around 9 and I had trouble waking up again. It took a couple glasses of zero sugar iced coffee and a protein drink, but I finally got up at 7.

Overall I guess I'm ok. I'm paying attention to current events but not obsessing over them. My GI issues are fine today.

I'm still on the Goblet of Fire...I hadn't been reading it for a bit, but just started up again. My mood is better when I spend a chunk of my day reading, instead of just watching TV or being on my phone, so I plan to add more reading to my day (when I can focus). So, I plan on reading some Harry Potter every day now. I'm also going to go to the library later today to get some books.

Are you still reading the books?
