Oh I would love those stories I’m sure - I amuse my husband with work customer stories too!

I’m doing okay, work was meh, my supervisor is on holiday and the covering supervisor basically left me to do everything on my own so it was a bit of a slog.

For some reason it didn’t bother me too much, I’m thinking about my husband getting his staples out tomorrow thankfully.

By taking my rest day. Today s my lay around in pjs day. Take a shower and put new pjs on.

I just wish I can find, get to know, form friendship with one person - just one person in real life - who has the same basic interests as me. Someone who is actually interested in anything! Everyone I meet aren't interested in anything. It would change a lot in my life ie., loneliness. Not 'meetups' I can't do them.

I have one friend but I already want to get rid of him.

I couldn’t get interested in anything I had here. Sunday is my day off where I veg at home. But I was antsy and decided to go to appplebees for happy hour. Had appetizer and a drink while I read my book. Was just the thing I needed. Didn’t feel up to asking anyone to go with me. Saw a bunch of people in the community room on my way out but didn’t stop. Still my day off of people. Was the perfect jaunt

I started journaling

about how I been feeling

especially lately.

This has been a real miserable day. My way of coping has been completely dysfunctional. But I have no interest in doing anything that would make a little sense. So I've managed to make myself feel worse and worse and worse.

I was feeling depressed this morning but felt a little bit better after breakfast. Just when I was starting to feel a little bit better, some landscapers came and are cutting down bushes next door. A lot of noise with the chainsaws; and then they'll use the mulcher, which will make more noise.

I would feel so much better if only I didn't have to put up with so much noise around me. There's what I just mentioned, new development across the street, and houses being remodeled. Oh, there's the 4th coming up! Every night, lately, there's been all kinds of fireworks going on. I really hate this time of year!

I’m coping by getting my basic foods in. That means a trip to Walmart to get my tea and soy milk. I was out of milk and not enough tea for tomorrow so I really put that off. I couldn’t bear the thought of. Regular grocery shopping so I did that on line. I get it delivered this afternoon. Then I’m all set to hibernate the holiday. I cope with the fourth by staying in, not going to all those noisy parties and street fairs.

I am feeling pretty good. Fireworks aren't really an issue where I live, thank GOD! So grateful for that. It's funny, one neighbor said last year his wife went outside during the 4th and she said, "oooh where are the fireworks? I hear them, but where are they?" he said, "no, honey, those are gunshots!!" Not really funny, lol, but it is for me because it reminds me so much of New York!

I have had an awful night. I had an argument with a guy over something so petty and he thought it was a good idea to talk garbage about people.

Worse, a rude woman I was talking to about the situation said that people always have the right to talk garbage about others. I told her that it was bullying. She got angry and said that me getting upset by words that someone said is not bullying, but being a “sissy”, then she told me to grow up and leave her alone.

This was despite the fact she wanted a conversation in the first place.

I'm coping by lounging around the house with an AC and loving just relaxing plus killing the boredom by playing around on the computer

Rose76 · Jul 03, 2024 at 11:23 AM

Feeling much better. Depression just sort of evaporated.

Nammu · Jul 03, 2024 at 12:27 PM

Coping the same way Breton is.

Discombobulated · Jul 04, 2024 at 08:38 AM

I got my hair done this morning and it’s given me an almost unbelievable lift to my spirits. Partly looking my best but also a nice chat with the hairdresser I think. Me time.

I’m noticing I’m feeling more motivated to do stuff. I have some wood to cut and floors to clean and soup to make

FloatThruThis · Jul 04, 2024 at 10:19 AM

I’m going to go look for some weeds to pull and hopefully tire myself out before it gets too hot.

Nammu · Jul 04, 2024 at 12:56 PM

Coping by avoiding the great outdoors today. Not driving with all the drinkers on the road today. Watched the parade from my window and will watch fireworks on TV. Just a laidback chill day

LadyShadow · Jul 04, 2024 at 12:58 PM

Coping by thinking about my apartment and about cleaning it this weekend. Want to have a nice fresh living space. Was really tired earlier, but I perked up a bit.

Buffy01 · Jul 04, 2024 at 04:17 PM

I’m trying to relax after falling down yesterday

Rose76 · Jul 04, 2024 at 09:46 PM

I'm doing a lot better over past 3 days. The depression lifted. Taking it easy today.
