Not much of a day today. Went for a fairly long bike ride. That was the only real highlight of the day. Feeling depressed that I have to go to work tomorrow.

I'm kind of depressed. I don't feel sad or lonely. I just have been real content to do nothing.

Post-Christmas is always kind of a letdown for me. I'll enjoy the twinkly decorations for another week. My tree came out very nice.

Normally, I light candles in the evening. This evening I haven't done that. It's like I've lost interest in the little things that normally bring me peace.

I'm in front of the TV too much. Been in the same pajamas day and night for 2 days.

When something seems too good to be true... it probably isn’t.

Sorry, you are feeling lonely. Decorations help me too, especially around holidays and twinkly ones. Thank you for sharing that.

I’ve also been feeling lonely, lounging with a candle lit and in comfy clothes. I thought I had settled myself for the work week, then poof... I remember how depressed I am.

I am doing Okay today. I have a few chores to deal with, but mainly I will relax.

Down. I must suck since others think I do. I realize that is true as they have treated me as though I must suck.

@TishaBuv, if "they" really feel that way, that is so weird to me, because when I see your name it brightens my day.

You brighten mine too. That was sweet.

Today and Friday are stat holidays, so I have only three more work days to go until my vacation begins. I've got almost all of January off, and I intend to use that time to focus on personal and professional goals.

I know what it is to think like that. Here's how I neutralize that thinking - that THEY must know who is worth what:

There's plenty of video showing crowds cheering Adolph Hitler . . . and he had friends and a woman who loved him. So he must have been a good guy - right?

Sometimes the person getting boo'd is better than the booers. History is chock-full of examples of THEM being wrong.

I started feeling a lot better today. I know I'll feel even better tomorrow.

Managed to shower and put on fresh pajamas.

will19 · Dec 28, 2020 at 11:41 PM

I woke up this morning dreading to go to work. It turned out better than I thought it would. I was feeling pretty good emotionally about three hours after starting there. I felt alright at the end of the work time. After that, it seemed like there were little things going wrong, one after another. Weird how things go well and then comes a time when it goes wrong.

Deilla · Dec 29, 2020 at 12:35 AM

I feel tired, sad and stressed.

will19 · Dec 31, 2020 at 01:30 AM

Right now it's a start of another four-day weekend just like I had last week. I'm already feeling depressed about this coming weekend that will come to an end. And then it will be a while before there's time off again. Also I think about the medical issue that I will try to get to the bottom of by next week.

A couple of things happened today that was a bit uplifting, though. At work the maintenance man noticed an attachment to a door handle was missing. On Tuesday there was a huge copier that came and that must have taken that accessory off. The maintenance man was a bit upset about it. But a few minutes later, I was able to find it and put it back on the door handle. So that was a relief.

And the Jacuzzi at where I live just opened back up. It's slightly different now with some restrictions that go with it. But it's nice to have it back after a few weeks of having it shut down.

Breaking Dawn · Dec 31, 2020 at 09:41 AM

I am doing ok right now.

I was pretty busy this morning, even though I had the day off from work. Went on a longer bike ride this afternoon. Found $2 on the road.

For some reason I'm feeling down since I got back from my bike ride. Normally I used to always dread New Years Eve. I guess this year it could be quiet (at least I hope so!). I never liked all of the noise and hoopla that would go with NYE.

T4bbyCat · Dec 31, 2020 at 08:56 PM

New Year getting closer, which is hardly a good feeling... not much to look forward to, especially once the grind resumes. Nonetheless, happy New Year to all! Or Old Year for those already in the new year...

Felt sad and depressed earlier, and my dog helps me a lot since he keeps me company, and cuddles next to me on the couch.
