I was just playing some guitar and likewise hitting wrong notes or not accurate enough..

Still I already feel I’m getting my dexterity back. Was playing Polly by Nirvana, it’s fairly easy.

After 16 years I’m for sure it’ll take some time but I believe you’ll get there.

After all you l picked up some Ukulele well!

Thanks! Yeah and this time I have weekly lessons with an instructor so that will help a lot having feedback every week. I’m committed to keep taking lessons for at the very least 10 years if possible. I’d like to take them for a very long time. Cause there’s a lot to learn on violin and it will take time. Plus practicing daily will help. And eventually getting a better violin should help a bit too. I’m giving myself a year on this cheap $100 violin (my bow is good though, it’s not the one it came with, the one it came with is really crappy so I’m not using that one. The one I’m using it’s a carbon fiber one that cost more than my violin, my boyfriend got it for my for my birthday. I’m committed to using this violin for a year then once I’ve stuck with it and gotten a little better on this one and once I’ve saved money I’ll upgrade to a beginners one that’s around $400-$500. I’m gonna have to find a local violin shop as well so I can get repairs done and whatever if it’s ever necessary.

Also that’s awesome and that’s a good song

I’m bored. Mostly been scrolling social media all day. I did practice though. And I walked to the library to print off some sheet music. And made some brownies. Did a small amount of cleaning. But yeah mostly been opening facebook up over and over. Trying to find something else to do. Might play some videogames now that I have my tv and Xbox in my room. Or might read. My anxiety has been low. Basically non existent lately. I have been practicing violin for 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day the past 6 days . Maybe that’s why. For some reason it really helps my anxiety. And it helps my mood a lot too.

So I’ve been feeling lonely of late. I never used to get.lonely but since breaking up with my ex a year and a half a go, I am staring to..

I’ve no idea how I can meet someone. Just seems awkward as mental illness and lack of a job will come up very quickly.

Any body got any ideas?

Maybe take a night school cooking class, or basic car mechanics, etc. There should be some people you can meet.

I’ve been taking iron pills and I feel pretty much normal now. I get a little lightheaded if I stand up too fast but that’s about it.

Went to an acupuncturist yesterday. Talked to the allergist today. Everything good.

Not much else to report. Just going on.

That’s some good ideas but not sure how it’d work for me. No car maintenance because I don’t drive.

Cooking class in theory could work but I don’t have much money to pay for these things.

cogladaid · Aug 16, 2023 at 07:47 PM

Oh yeah, our washing machine was smoking the other day so we got a repair guy in today to look at it (he’s been in Canada for two months originally from Ukraine). Basically not worth repairing so we had to buy a new washing machine.

Always something we gotta buy, apparently.

Good day, at the beach. I read a bit of that book my sister gave me. Swam in the lake a few times. Got real sunburned.

Then we went to a restaurant, and I rambled for like an hour (To my mom and sister) - They try to help (And they're good at that). It helps to vent.

FooZe was okay with my recent scribblings, so that's good.

There are meet up gatherings too, although I don't know if that's around where you live. Maybe go to a movie with a small group. Book stores, coffee places might be ok. If you feel like starting a conversation with someone. They always say to do things that interest you and you'll meet people easily. Hugs!!

The smoking group I am with I found out has a seat reserved for me but if I keep missing it they'll take my seat back. So strange. Almost kicked off the smoking team. Lol.

Long and kind of disappointing day. Ah well. Whatever. 2.5 hours left. I took tomorrow off so long weekend for me.

Blue_Bird · Aug 17, 2023 at 05:14 PM

Played violin for an hour today. Feel like I’ve slightly improved over the past week and a half since starting. Been playing 1-2 hours a day everyday. I think it’s paying off. My next lesson is this Saturday at 1pm. Looking forward to it.

Trying to learn how to crochet

Worked today. It was okay. Got stuff done.

I feel better with lightheadedness since I started taking the iron pills. Feeling pretty much normal now.

TMI but I had an irregular period back end of June and I mentioned to my doctor a couple weeks ago when I saw him and he referred me to a gynaecologist. Got a call today and I see the doctor mid-October.

So my mind just worried. Like health anxiety. Constantly googling things.

My mind thinks I either have perimenopause, or uterine cancer.

Sigh. Just have to wait until October. I hate waiting. I’ll just worry this whole time.

But I see my family doctor on Tuesday. Talk to him about my iron levels and stuff. I’ll probably mentioned how I’m worried and googling. He doesn’t like me playing Doctor Google but I can’t help it.

God, where does reality go...

What is intelligence..

What is good and evil.

I know (A little).

But no one will ever know. We make mistakes. They (We), just have to live, and learn from them. That is all.

I will meet you all, when we discover the great treasures. And celebration and joy will be present iN tHE SiTUaTiOn.

OCD health anxiety.

I’m constantly googling and worrying that I have uterine cancer. I keep thinking about it looping in my brain.

Now I’m scared to eat anything because something is giving me hives. I had hives twice yesterday and I’m trying to narrow down what it is that caused them. I’m scared anything I eat I’m going to be allergic to and get hives again.

Ugh my brain. I can’t focus on work and I have so much to do.
