I finally was sleeping well but my cat decided he wanted me up. So here am I in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping. I will try to go back to bed soon. I hope I sleep late.

Not much happened at work today. Tomorrow is the last day that the Maintenance man be working. He's retiring. Tomorrow there's going to be a team meeting (him and I with our managers) and then a pizza lunch. I hope that I won't be asked how I will feel about him retiring. I was never crazy about him. As it turns out, I will not be taking his place like I had before when he was absent, so that's great for me.

I'm up again in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep. I'm too worried about chores today. I wish I could relax, but I'm anxious. Maybe after I've done a few things, I will be able to sleep.

I was depressed in the morning but took a nap and then woke up feeling better. Was okay mid-day into the afternoon and this evening I am actually feeling quite good.

I managed better most of today compared to the last couple of days. I wish tomorrow could be a lot easier.

Today was a fairly good day for me emotionally. I was pretty busy, but not with my regular work, just with other insignificant stuff. Today was the last day for the maintenance man and we had a pizza lunch. Much to my surprise, by the end of the day, I just walked out of my room and then the maintenance man was right there. He talked to me about himself leaving and I wished him well. Our conversation went well and he even called me "buddy". I couldn't believe it because I thought that he didn't like me. He even laughed at a joke I had told him.

Felt let down when I got home. It's the weekend now and I hope things will go well tomorrow as Saturdays can be stressful for me at times.

I've been down for quite a while now. There's 3 days worth of dishes in the kitchen sink. Next I'm going to wash them. If I can get my place tidied up I will feel a lot better.

Tuesday I should hear from my provider about the xrays I had yesterday of my neck and r. arm. My arm has been very sore. Yesterday I started taking Indocin, which is already helping a good bit. If I'm less sore, housework won't seem so hard. Being surrounded by a worsening mess has felt just awful. I know it's up to me to do something about that. I give up too easily. Then I create my own misery. God helps those who help themselves. Well, here I go. My next post should report some progress.

I feel stressed this morning. I also feel lonely and sad. I have things I have to get done today and I'm not looking forward to it.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 25, 2021 at 06:27 PM

I'm doing better at the moment than I was earlier.

The weekend for me was just the usual. I talked with my sister this morning and told her how I felt about her mentioning the house for sale near where she lives and how I don't want to come back to her area. She understood, but it seems like it's many times that she doesn't get it.

As far as my job goes, it's still "wait and see" in what's going to happen. Some people are telling me that it's good for me to stick it out because it can pay off more for me if I do. That's true, but this is a situation that it's hard to stick it out as I wish it can be over very soon. I still dread going to work and wonder why I should keep going.

I feel stressed and overwhelmed. I have an appointment today. I'm tired of having appointments. I feel worn out. I didn't sleep well. I'm sad and anxious. I won't be able to go back to sleep. I have to get ready. Getting dressed is the worst part.

Good luck with your appointment, Deilla!

Since yesterday I've been doing better than how I was past few weeks.

Feeling kind of cranky this morning and wishing I didn't.

Rose76 · Apr 27, 2021 at 08:58 PM

For 2 previous days, I was doing pretty good. (Sunday I really felt I was on the way up.) But today was bad. I've done nothing all day. I'm getting really good at doing nothing. Now that's really scaring me.

Deilla · Apr 28, 2021 at 04:31 AM

I finished a couple of items on my to-do list. So I feel good about that. I have one more item, but it has to wait for sunrise. I will try to have a good day. I just really feel blah.

TishaBuv · Apr 29, 2021 at 06:52 AM

Up! One good day and counting...

Rose76 · Apr 29, 2021 at 09:29 AM

Anxious today. Tired, though I slept pretty well.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 29, 2021 at 10:57 AM

Not doing my best right now but I do feel hope & eventual possibilities.

Deilla · Apr 29, 2021 at 03:45 PM

I feel slightly irritated today. But I am going through a med change.
