While I'm pretty happy about being off today and extending that through next Monday with some staycation time, I really don't feel like celebrating Independence day all that much. It feels as though every day now we are losing more and more freedoms as Americans, global citizens and most definitely, as women. This thing happening in Washington DC today is nothing more than a campaign and vanity event and that he stole the money from our National Parks to fund it, makes me want to poke toothpicks somewhere! I'm going to shop online all day and then late this afternoon, do a rain dance for the DC area. Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good.

Lucky.......

Very nervous.... Not as anxious but nervous.

I feel like my eyes have been violated. I saw things today that I can not unsee.

I should have never taken that nap yesterday across two ottomans. UGH

looking for someone to give me a free massage...anyone.. anyone??

You mean Pete's ottomans??

Speaking of naps, I'm feeling sleepy today. I think I should get the day after a holiday off to recoup!

Pete's new office bed..hahah yep that one.

I am the President of the Nappers Club. It's a real group. just sayin: I highly advocate for naps!

Okay, but i could be better.

Gotta go into work tomorrow because I can't access the server from home. I wrote the tech support dept but they ain't even thinking' 'bout my blues on this 4-day holiday weekend. I get it.

It'll give me a reason to stop by Petersons Donuts. Word on the curb is Peterson's is the best. We'll see.

:poc-cool:

Relieved that my Friday workday is over. Happy it's the weekend again!

feelin pretty damn good atm.

the new apt has such a great energy. Waaaaaaay better than this dreaded landlord I had spent the last year with.

Today he even called me perfect! (hahaha. I told him i am far from it)

Great! I'm in a really good mood.

People were right—Petersons is the best. Fresh, large, almost melts in your mouth. Best sugar donut yet.

Defeated is probably the best word for my feeling today.

Feeling like I'm not being heard. I'll get over it.

Today I am exhausted. It was a productive day but I am ready to hermit for a bit. Too much social interaction at work!

Tired, hopeful, hungry.

I do not know if I can commit to how I am feeling. Mostly because I feel I should leave space to go in any direction that feels safe.

But, I've been watching (or rather, binge watching - lol, or not) Iron Man: Truth be told, I can totally resonate with what this Marvel Comics superhero once said:

"I need a day when there aren't 20 crises to deal with, but I don't see that coming any time soon" ~ Iron Man.

<<<<<<~~ has been inspired by Iron Man, lately.

Better than yesterday. Yesterday was a rough one for me. Full moon and all that jazz.

Expecting today to be better. Have some work to keep me busy for a couple hours then will leave to go and pamper myself with a pedi/mani.

Am fasting today on water, gatorade, and broth ... a cleanse will help bring me out of this funk.

:poc-cool:

Resigned... I am letting the day wash over me and just waiting to see what happens next.

Feeling good. Got lots of rest this weekend and still did most of my chores and errands.

Don’t expect it to be too busy at work this week. May be able to do some organizing and toss away notes and emails from past projects.

Will go through email and make sure I haven’t overlooked anything.

:pursebee:

I've never felt like I wanted a tattoo or piercing until today.:|
I want to get a Labret bead about a quarter of an inch below my lower lip.

Like I cheated death yet again. Four days ago, my Dom made an Executive Order calling EMS against my personal opinion. Almost ended up with a "breathing tube" to save my
live. She recognized the signs of CHF long before this arrogant 30 year "hot-shit" ICU/ER nurse. I had spent years chiding Her about OB and general med-surg career.I

I blaimed my breathing on an ongoing allergic reaction to the carpet smells/dander from our cats. But hospitals don't pull 12 lbs of fluid from allergies.

CHF, I can't have that. CHF = poor top surgery risk

Guess the advice that the self-diagnosing doctor may be dead wrong might be occasionally correct. Key words: might and occasionally

Feeling like I need to get my head out of the clouds and acknowledge that I must go back to work today after a perfectly lovely vacation.

Gee dude, CHF is nothing to sneeze at! Take it easy Bud..

Accomplished and loved. Exhales.

Feel good, happy, and good too, a mild case of the woozies ... is that even a word? Doesn’t matter. All is good.
it’s friday night after all

Anxious. Unsettled. Though J is confident we'll able to find an affordable place before I have to be back in my apartment I have my doubts. But, LOL, that doesn't mean she isn't determined to try and prove me wrong. My son is more cautiously optimistic. He doesn't think we'll be able to pull things off that quickly but is confident we'll find something affordable before my lease is up. That's in October so the race is on. He's gently encouraging me to try and keep as many things packed once I move back in as I can so we won't have to go through the hard work of boxing everything up again. I will, I don't want to make unnecessary work. Well I suppose it's things like this that anti-anxiety meds are for and why I've been prescribed them. Now how to avoid downing them like Tic Tacs.

grumpy, overwhelmed and a little hopeless

sounds like you need to pop into chat :gimmehug:

Cautiously optimistic

Rested,happy.

Anticipatory - looking forward to the last chapter of "Wolverine - The Long Night" podcast. Also, oddly craving brussel sprouts.

Feeling
 

If I felt any better I would have to be two people. Life is good,.

Not great. I have a pain on the right side of my lower back. It feels like someone is sticking a poker through me. I am hoping it passes quickly.

That's too bad, what does your doctor say?
