I feel like we all need a reset today. We are all sort of quarantining here together and we are all a bit testy. I notice that the comments even on recaps like Survivor are getting a bit harsh. Let’s remember THE COMMENTING RULES and try to be kinder. Please don’t make personal attacks on people on shows or here related to appearance. I have lots of new people trying to get in whose first comment attempt is how they are happy someone had a miscarriage or just really nasty things. That is not who we are. I don’t need my friends here suddenly making negative comments about people on shows.
I want us all to vent our frustrations here. I want us to encourage each other. I need you to understand that we all have bad days. This isn’t my favorite one. Let’s cut each other some slack. Let’s be more forgiving with each other.
Someone sent me this recently. I sent it to my favorite person.
“Today was a Difficult Day,” said Pooh.
Thanks, TT. I just came off writing my own piece, albeit one that upped my anxiety level even further. I’m about to step outside and heed your advice.
Watching Tiger King on Netflix and it is fascinating! It’s a documentary of sorts on those who raise/rescue tigers and exotic animals in captivity.
Day 8 of tequila.
Got up, did cardio, sat by the pool for while, watching Netflix with the hubs.
My liver may not survive this.
Let’s please be nice to each other. This is hard enough at home without reading ugly online.
Just started Tiger King last night; WTF ? I’m on EP 3.
If you haven’t seen it yet, watch ‘The Great Whites of West Virginia’ on Amazon Prime. The 10 year Anniversary Special, it’s free, the series is not. Talk about a wild ride OMG.
We are starting Episode 3! This shit is crazy!!!!
Tiger king is insane.. you start watching it and think this is crazy and then it just get more and more cray!!
I think Carol might have actually done it and then I also wonder how is there this much footage when the whole recording studio was burnt down?! Wtf?
Of course Carol did it! It’s the perfect crime!
Found Tiger King, going to start it this evening.
I watched the McDonalds Millions last night, that was also crazy especially the FBI guy who really wanted to be a movie star.
It was all about the McDonalds Monopoly scam
Tiger King is great you talk about a thriller with twist an turns. I have not finished yet but love what I have seen so far. Watch it.
Since I have everything just about but Netflix , my. curiosity got the better of me so TIGER KING here we go!!!!! Love a good binge.
Yay! Your clownmouth avatar is back! I love to hate it so much!
Funny, I didn’t receive your email ?? Just kidding.
These times are unprecedented. I will admit that I wasn’t scared at first, but now I am. Not scared of catching the virus, but instead of what is evolving. The joblessness, the recession, the evil I see emerging online from people I know. I’m desperately trying to find the good in every day; the extra moments with my children, I was able to get in a very important doctors appt before they closed their offices, cleaning out the basement, training the new puppy we just recused last week, etc.
I do not comment often but I’m here every day, been here since the very beginning. Love you TT & the rest of our amazing tribe ❤️
WAIT YOU GOT A PUPPY? The little one must be thrilled. Take care of “my” kids. You have the best family ever. Try not to get on each others nerves. xo ~tt
I did!! A sweet family just lost their son & they just couldn’t cope with a puppy right now. Especially one that would need so much training & upkeep. He has been a wonderful addition to our family during this unsettling time for everyone. How is Banjo? I have been waiting on an update.
Your little ones are doing great, reading for hours every day!! They miss you tons XOXO
For training the pup, I highly recommend “Lucky Dig Lessons” by Brandon McMillan. Even if you’ve raised/trained a pup before. The Lucky Dig Show has lots of good stuff too.
Thank you. Will look at it. My bundle of joy has minimal interest in potty outside
I read that a lot of people are getting animals for company and having time for training, etc.
I was unable to get my puppy “RIO” will be it’s name, because I can’t run or get down on my knees and back up. Surgeon said three months we will see. I was devastated but priority is being able to chase and catch my “RIO”. I would be so irresponsible I’m just going to have to wait.
Everything for a reason.?
That is exactly how I feel. I had to get a few things at the store the other day, and I drove by our favorite Thai food place and theyhad a couple of people out front with signs saying that they will deliver. This is a successful place, but small and family owned, and I got a little teary at the idea that this might put them out of business completely if things don’t go backto normal soon. This is ripping the fabric of society. I substitute teach,but I don’t “need” the income, however a lot of subs DO rely on that income. Some subs are teaching during the day and working nights at retail or restaurants. What are they going to do? It is unlikely theyhave emergency funds, and now both sources of income are closed to them.
Thank you TT for this post. I lost my husband last month, just found out I have to get a new furnace and county I live in is on lockdown. Right now everything just sucks.
I’m so sorry!!
Hang in there Diane!
Diane I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine your grief.
We are here for you, there is always a friend online at some or other here to talk ❤️
My heart goes out to you Diane. Please keep posting and let us all know how you are
I’m sorry, that’s a whole lot to deal with at once. There are a lot of wonderful people here if you need anything.
I am so sorry Diane, that is just terrible.
I am so sorry, Diane. I hope you find comfort in your memories of your husband. <3
Oh Diane, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Cannot imagine what you’re going through. Sending you warm healing light ? and internet ((((hugs)))).
Damn! There’s those threes again. I hope things get better for you soon. ? Real better, real soon.
Very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss Diane! How heartbreaking! I’m thinking of you and wishing you well. Stay safe and Be well.
TT I love you. I truly do. As a hair stylist we were shut down by our governor last week so I’m a bit bored. More than a bit. I don’t comment much but read all of everything. I just love that you dusted off Pooh. He’s the best. I’ll keep checking back in as I pass my time off coloring and reading, who really wants to clean closets and all right? Y’all take care and stay healthy.
I wish you could color my hair :)! My hair looks like a hot ass mess. I tried coloring it with box color. I left it on for 45 minutes and you can still see my gray edges and sideburns. Thank god I have 3 more boxes here at home. I was also a mini Chewbacca, I finally shaved and plucked my eyebrows. I’m just trying to lighting things up 🙂 under the circumstances. Take care therealdeb and everyone else.
We’re all in this together that’s for sure. Try not to go overboard with the box color, that stuff is terrible for your hair.
@ Prycer I have gone the other way as I doubt I will be in anyone’s company for a while so I have stopped.
I normally colour my roots every 2 weeks, hubby is now in Gibraltar for the next 8/12 weeks so I am going to let my grey grow out and then make a decision depending on the results.
The females in my family genetically start going grey/white around 13 – which was cool at Halloween by 15 vanity set in.
I will maintain not being a mini Chewbacca, toilet rolls, white wine back in supermarkets…. Hair Dye is now on the mini scale panic buying list as no longer an essential in Spain.
OMG!! I wonder what eyebrows, eyelashes. gel/acyrilic nails, trout pouts will be like in 2/3 months.
Maybe I should get my friends to do a before Lockdown picture and then an after Lockdown picture!!!!
I dyed my hair with black henna powder at 15 ignored the instructions slept the night away with a tin foil head and woke up to dark green hair and it wasn’t even St. Paddy’s day.
No excuse for my stupidity.
Yeah, on my parental side everybody went premature grey. I am SO vain when it comes to my hair and it being grey. I know no one will see it but me, but I really can’t stand looking at it. I am going to some day let it go, but for now I am going to rock my colored hair. My hair turned green when I did a cellophane once.
Checking in! I’m kind of in a numb/resigned that will be isolated for quite some time. I think Washington will be going on lock down tonight or tomorrow. I’m trying to figure out one more run to Costco without my parents figuring it out until afterwards. (Costco around here won’t deliver the liquor, dammit). We could also use some more chicken if I am going to keep to my eating plans.
I did try grocery delivery – it wasn’t bad. I sterilized everything as much as possible out in the driveway before it came in the house. My dad’s friend has set aside a space in his garage. Everything shelf stable, when ordered, gets put there for 4 or 5 days and no one goes near it to ensure the virus, if there, is dead (We did an order of fresh things).
When I am feeling stir crazy/antsy/upset/pissed off… I stop, take a deep breath, and remember that I’m not a Jew in hiding in Nazi territory afraid to move because someone might hear my foot steps.
When you fall in the “high risk” category you get really scared when you keep hearing how you’ll probably be fine, unless you’re in the “high risk” category.
I feel like I’m just waiting to get sick. I’m having major panic/anxiety attacks when I’ve never had them before.
Thanks for letting me post about my difficult day(s). Thanks for being here everyday.
Hang in there. I’ve been able so far to keep my anxiety under control (for now). Plus eating edibles nightly has helped as well.
On top of all recent issues, today is the anniversary of my dad’s untimely passing. It’s a blue day for me, but my dad would tell me to pick up my boot straps and carry on! And tomorrow I will! Today I allow myself to be weepy at a loss that doesn’t seem to lessen with years gone by. I just miss my dad’s presence in my life! He loved me unconditionally and every moment spent with him was wonderful! That said, my dad would totally expect me to march on…so tomorrow, I carry on, be positive, live my best life, and go me!
I hear my Dad’s words giving me strength every day. If I am not listening, he makes sure I start to hear and listen. I have so many examples. Many include a Beatles song all of a sudden when I never even knew music was playing in the background. Other reminders come in my dreams. I miss him and am blessed to have been able to tell him everything in the end. It wasn’t always easy I am stubborn. I am marching with you, my friend.
In honor of the strength I learned from my Pops.
I am sorry about your blue day. I would like to say it gets easier, that time heals the wound. But not exactly true. What is true, for most people I know and me, is that you will start remembering good times and feeling peaceful and grateful for those times with your dad. Much better than the heavy heartache. I was angry for a long time — my dad died young, he had a difficult childhood, but loved life so much. My last boyfriend was molested by his father; one day it hit me — some people don’t have a good dad for even one damned day! I did nothing to deserve my dad, neither did he. I just got lucky to have a wonderful man for a dad. It sounds like you (and Swannie) were fortunate too.
I’m sorry for your loss Carol. There are many people who can really empathize with you. Best wishes.
I suddenly feel very unwell. I took and aspirin because my heart feels ,,,odd.
Are you drinking your water from Whole Foods? I’d also take an anti anxiety medication if you have one. I stopped drinking during this time because I am already too anxious that it’s only going to make things worse. I hope you feel better and it’s nothing serious.
How are you feeling TT?
Hi please do not give me into trouble tamara/for pasting the same post twice.
Hi All
A little glimpse into your 2 week future if we continue to self quarantine
Firstly, Thank you for all your support as I have been dealing with my Spanish Lockdown. ( 13 days by law ) a little longer for me. around 20
I have had good days and bad days mainly due to COV_IDIOTs or COVID DICKHEADS and allowing me to vent with my Tamara Tattles family has been a blessing.
I can confirm that after 13 days in my Province Malaga Southern Spain after reviewing the logarithmic representatiaon graph and not the default linear graph for the whole of Spain there has NOT been a new case of Corona Virus for 15 hours, our curve is flattening.
We are now fully committed into our lock down for a further 14 days and hope to see the curve flatten further.
In about 2 – 4 weeks we may start to see results and rates going down across all of Spain.
Hope this brings a little hope to you all over the next emotional and draining week, rest as much as possible and SLEEP, Drink, Smoke Weed, Excercise, Paint do what ever you need to do to get you through the next 7 days as in hindsight i think I was in totally shock for at least 4 days last week and you guys got me through it.
I hope this gives you a positive update and shows the advice does work.
Nighty Blessxx
Tuatha12, I can’t imagine why a double post like yours would cause any trouble. Thank you so much for updating us on your experiences and thoughts. I know I read every word, everytime! Stay safe.
Such good news that the curve is flattening. And that you are well. Stay that way! Please keep posting about the covidiots too.
I could tell there were new posters when reading some comments. Hopefully they will learn to be nice or move on
Is anyone able to sleep? I can only sleep for 1 or maybe 2 hours at a time. Watching the news conferences makes me so angry. It looks like they’re going to cancel the restrictions after the 15 day ‘challenge’ so the stock market will go back up. AARggh!
I can’t bear to watch many updates, I wouldn’t be able to sleep for DAYS. I’m sleeping a LOT which is very unlike me.
Hang in there my friend ?
Thank you Ravynrobybn,
Thank you for the lovely quote, TT. As I write this, it is snowing in New England. My heart goes out to all who are dealing with job loss or uncertainty, loneliness, and anxiety. I’m an introvert and my family can all work from home, and even I am taking naps I don’t need just to get away. We have board games we’ve never played and movies we’ve planned to watch and we are all just continuing to play on the internet instead of taking advantage of the time at home to clean or paint or connect with each other. But I think we need to forgive ourselves for not having all the answers or knowing how to handle things. No one does. (Well, maybe the true preppers do). If you are looking for something new, I would suggest 10 or 12 form Tai Chi. It stretches your muscles in the most gentle way. It is VERY SLOW to watch on Youtube because it is a craft where they care deeply about the exact position of your hands, feet, etc, but maybe just try it, especially if you are working at home with not the greatest ergonomics.
Yes. After virtually no snow all through December, February and most of March is snowed her in Connecticut today. And my father, who turns 90 in July and is the oldest licensed electrician in Connecticut, went out on a service call today. And slipped and fell in the snow. And he’s fine. Despite the fact that the governor said that people over 70 should stay home.This, of course, is just more proof to him that he’s invincible. Oy!!
I am usually a hermit so this isn’t awful. However I have anxiety and this forum is really my community. I don’t post often but I stan TT
Tonight at dinner Fly Boy told me how wonderful the past two days (he was referring to the weekend) with me were, & how much he loved being with me like this. The workmen had been absent (much like their regular workweek!), & we had not left the house to go further than the mailbox. We’d stayed in bed late & lazed around, not being very productive, not doing anything memorable outside the bedroom, but although we’d been confined, we have decided anew that we are among the very fortunate. Yes, after three months we still have to brush our teeth in the kitchen sink because none of our three bathrooms has a sink, & until today none of the bathrooms had a door, & last week we only had one toilet, & for three months we’ve had to bathe in the tiny tub in the “Princess” bathroom, even though there are TWO showers in the master bath. No, I’m going with Fly Boy, this is actually the happiest time of my life. The second happiest time was the years I spent sailing in the tropics where most of the world, including family, could not reach me (most of the time). We do not know how much time we have, but we are going to savor each day & night together, & the word of each day is GRATITUDE.
Your posts ALWAYS make me smile or laugh or cry. Often at the same time. I love how you two are living such a good life and appreciating everything and rolling with the punches. You and Fly Boy stay warm and cozy and healthy.
MizGrandma? If you could spare a few minutes a day to focus on writing your memoir? I love everything you share with us. I suspect there’s at least 3 volumes.
Of best sellers!
With PHOTOS! Although her words paint a clear picture, I would love photos too.
Oh Kipper, too much of me is not necessarily a good thing! My own granddaughter unfriended me on FB years ago because she said I posted too much & she didn’t want to read all that stuff, especially the political comments (it might have been an election year).
A few weeks ago I tried commenting but life occurred and I was angry, mean, and unforgiving. I knew that I had nothing to say, so didn’t. I at times oddly felt guilty, but I did what I really needed to. Just say nothing, it would have been forced, inauthentic. I knew I couldn’t lose my shit, because here is not the place. Waiting sometimes is all you can do. Or have to do. I’m coming out the other side, so I appreciate this post. I will no longer or ever again feel a weird obligation to comment when saying nothing for as long as necessary, is the right call.
so without the formal testing, I am 99.9% sure I have Covid19. I am a hypochondriac but not over stuff like this, generally fear that I have 7 types of cancer. This I have though. I was directly exposed a few times. I was thrown out of a walk-in clinic yesterday even though I had mask and gloves on. I have been calling the county for a test but there are not enough of them. I have a mild case, so it doesnt really matter. I have been feeling terrible for over a week, sore throat, digestive issues and weirdly lost my sense of smell and taste a few days ago. Apparently this is common for covid, I am finding out. The hardest part is the sheer exhaustion all the time, I feel like I am walking in mud. Hopefully I will lose a few pounds with this since I cant taste anything. Pasta with hot sauce appears to be my go-to snack.
I am thankful I am not coughing, and I just started watching Sherman’s Showcase. It is pretty funny, but I am not sure how long I will stick with it.
Ingrid,
Sure sounds like it. My kid is the same. Feeling so isolated and unsupported by all the agencies and institutions that are in place to do just that. All so much worse because of the worst, most narcissistic president in the history of this country.
The pockets of goodness, sacrifice and intelligence operating in leadership today won’t be enough.
Please take care.
It makes me maddest that you can’t get the care you need. Getting coved-19 is the luck of the draw. But not receiving help must have been terrible. So do what they would have said to do if you had tested positive. Rest. Fluids. Good food. Do whatever YOU feel like doing without guilt. Lay in bed all day and read romance novels, what ever … guilt free. Indulge yourself with GOOD THINGS. You deserve it.
Hi TT,
Yoga and/stretching helps. I am lucky to live in the woods, so have done a lot of hiking. Except for today. It was gloomy and rainy. Took a long nap since sleeping at night is hit or miss.
Been distracting myself with making medical masks, but had to order new needles, and they won’t be here till Friday. Just going to cut, pin and baste until then. Lots of cooking and freezing. Bone broths and vegetables. Actually lost a few pounds. Fighting the urge to get more groceries as we are well stocked.
Got family and friends still working out of the home, and a sick kid (grown) who came home to quarantine. Worried about what she may have picked up at work, but monitoring and caring for her is kind of a blessing.
Checking in with folks always, and trying to keep some quarantine notes/journal. I can never remember what day it is. With the odd sleep patterns, and nothing in the calendar, days and nights aren’t as distinctive.
I just realized I haven’t watched tv since Saturday. Watched a doc about Molly Ivins and the movie, Fast Colors. Both highly recommended.
Thanks for the forum and the community. Wishing you all the best in these strange, sad times.
I love Pooh wisdom. We just received the news to stay home officially from our Governor. Wishing all the best as I’m trying to manage expectations of two of us working from home and still meet deadlines. I have no choice but to make it happen. And I will.
I can’t believe Washington took this look to be told to stay home. I guess I thought everyone was supposed to be staying home.
Me either. Wasn’t sure if the Governor thought we would rebel and make it worse. Mostly responsible folks were listening. Over the weekend, some decided it was spring break in America and flocked to the beaches. I freaked this morning when my power went out twice for ten seconds or so. How could people think of checking in a hotel by choice. Sorry if I offend but this is hard to wrap my head around.
My aunt sent me an article about all the beach towns along the Oregon Coast, where I vacation every year. The traffic and crowds were INSANE. One mayor said he couldn’t legally ban people from the beach because that is the state’s domain, but he could close all the roads leading up to it. They were concerned about there not being enough supplies for residents since those grocery stores don’t usually get nightly restocking deliveries. I can also tell you from experience that they don’t have the medical facilities that Portland has, or even Astoria. (Been to the ER closest to Cannon Beach)
I concur. It gets complicated for medical facilities in tourist locations….meeting the needs in our coastal towns regularly and having larger medical facilities nearby. Travel with hubby’s fam always has a trip to an ER.
Maybe when get through this I can meet up with you at your annual vacation destination! I’ll leave hubby’s fam at home and crash your annual getaway. I mean I love them but I prefer to stay away from the ER. The OR Coast is beautiful and we had a warm weekend. But just not a good decision, in my opinion, at this time. I’m staying home but will go for a walk and make time for some me time tomorrow.
I am so upset by Trump’s comments today and Dan Patrick basically taking them a step further. Seeing the video of the doctor crying in Spain as they are letting people over 65 die. Everyone is still running around MN like nothing is going on. I am so upset I think I need to turn everything off for awhile.
Not everyone in MN is running around. I am home and plan to stay put.
There are still a lot of people out. I drove around with the widows up and the stores were all packed like usual over the weekend. Plus we still don’t have a shelter in place just the government telling people to stay home but not actually doing much to enforce it.
We must live in very different areas. Around my area, there are few people anywhere other than out walking. But there should have been shelter in places restrictions everywhere right away. I don’t see how this is going to flatten until that happens.
@JustJenn that video is from Madrid ( Northern Spain with the highest number of cases are ).
It was heart breaking.
I live in Southern Spain after being in Lock down for 13 days we are seeing no new cases, we have agreed to stay in Locked down for another 4 weeks until we see similar results heading North where the virus initial spread from.
That is the only way for the economy to start functioning.
Sorry I have named Trump as part of my Coron-idiots, eejits he is Corn- A- SSHOLE
It was really heartbreaking. I’m happy everyone on lockdown even though it’s hard. We are finally getting a safer at home order for MN starting Friday. I hope you stay safe and healthy.
Lots of stress like you all, but I was able to pick up the formerly stranded kid in Australia at LaGuardia tonight. It was very creepy— car lost navigation, cops everywhere and my husband was driving like a bat out of hell in NYC. Think he was more nervous than he let on.
Kid was tired, but made all his connections, and we are very relieved. Driving up to a NYC area airport where you see no other travelers was just nuts, but there were plenty of cars in the tunnels. Also, I saw probably 20 empty busses driving in the Lincoln tunnel. What’s with that?
Wish you guys all the best!
“There’s no place like home” must resonate with your son more than ever. I am glad for you all he is home safe.
I am so happy for you that he is home, Excellent news ,Whoop Whoop
I’m in the Bay Area, we’ve been locked down for a 10 days. This past weekend there was an article about where to get fresh air. It mentioned the town I live in. Tons flocked to my town now we are all in a panic. I don’t feel well. I wish RHONy would come out now. I need the boost.
I left the Bay Area after Channel 2 ran a segment about how cheap it was to live in Crockett, 20 minute BART ride from SF. Rents doubled in weeks, tripled in months. Landlords sold, we couldn’t find ANYTHING, much less affordable. What do these news stations think they are doing? Do they get the numbers ruining things? Fucking helmet-headed idiots.
I’m also in the Bay Area. Around me everyone is staying home. Nobody in the streets. People are listening.Also if people are on the streets the police will fine them and take them to jail.
Hey TT, like you I go to the Y and walk and do aerobics in the pool. Now that it is shut down I went to youtube and found a bunch of chair aerobics videos. I am getting great workouts while not hurting my disabled spine and hips. Maybe you can give it a try to help you clear your mind while getting some great super low impact exercise. Hang in there, this too shall pass…eventually!
Call me crazy, but I am actually enjoying this little hiatus from life. I am able to work from home, I am healthy, and I am well stocked with the essentials (including toilet paper!). Life had gotten too hectic and stressful, and there was too much fighting and hatred in the world. It’s like we all got sent to our rooms to think about what we have done. I actually feel healthier and more rested than I have a in a long, long time. Hopefully we will all come out of this more united and grateful, and this won’t last too long for those who are put in a bad position financially or otherwise during this time.
And to find a silver lining, in an effort to help restaurants get through all of this our Governor has declared that restaurants in Virginia can now sell beer and wine with takeout or delivery. Woo hoo! Hopefully that sticks around after this virus is gone.
Coronavirus time-out be berry, berry good to you.
A friend in San Diego said they can get Margaritas to go from the nearby Mexican restaurant. I hope the takeout rules help the restaurants stay afloat. You too.
A few of the restaurants in my town are selling bottles of wine at half price and our Upscale taco place is selling margarita kits.
You had me at margarita kit. Wait could have been taco mention. Both are my faves.
I like your attitude. Michigan just shut down as of midnight Monday. I am grateful. At least it feels like we are TRYING to do something. I live alone with my two dogs and have been counting my blessings. Good News: I was able to get my haircut, a dentist appt done and my two dogs groomed before the shut-down. I am well stocked and have access to library books online. The sun is shining and the temperatures are starting to climb.
I only read a few more comments here TT. I am trying to stay focused, calm and serious about keeping my family and the elderly population I care for safe from this pandemic. I am pretty darn afraid in some moments and confident in others. Although I wish I was at home with my daughter and DH honestly I wouldn’t be anywhere else. We have no cases in our building and we do have sick patients that have either been hospitalized or treated by us for upper respiratory infections none of which have come back pos for Covid19. We screen staff before they enter the facility.
We were basically out of PPE this am but recieved a shipment at an exorbitant cost mid day. Hopefully some of our mask makers come through soon, my mom one of them!
I feel so bad for our confused, elderly, sick patients whoes family cannot visit. Call after call, the reservation is locked down, they’re rightfully staying home. Okay, face wiped, I’m going to bed, another day tomorrow. Thank you TT for your open forum sorry if I’m a bummer right now. Xxoo everyone!
I wish there was something I could say or do that would ease your worries and bring you comfort. I’m hopeful with you. We all tackle another day tomorrow…together.
I got a little excited today cause I was finally able to get some Eggo’s at Smart and Final, that were on sale. A lot of the stores are hiking prices up. I went to one grocery store where they pulled all the price tags off on water and toilet paper.
I’ve been cleaning/reorganizing my closets. If I order another MF’ing pair of black pants or shit off of QVC, I order the Governor of Ohio to confiscate my credit cards.
I started ordering qvc food along with black pants . Cookies apples and energy bars. Yum
Ok, I am drunk and angry-organizing my closet, anyone else here drunk and frustrated???♀️
I was angry organizing regularly. Then I continued to order shoes. A pair arrived today. They are cute but I felt so wasteful. I need to go back to angry organizing without the subsequent shopping. But I’m digging my loungewear purchases from last month as they were much needed and useful now.
Shoes…who knew I had so many ugly sandals???
Love to TT and everyone here. You all lift me up.
Cannot sleep. My ears ache and my upper palate is sore. My daughter texted to tell me her college has someone who tested positive today.
It’s stupid, I keep telling myself. Any illness could potentially kill me. Why is this so special?
My husband had digestive issues all day. My son feels fine. The poodle is no longer hacking. The pup is being adorable.
The damn spectre keeps looming.
And every easy, deep breath I take makes me pray hard for everyone who is struggling.
Being deeply angry at the govt does not help. But I still am livid.
Now the pup lays by my head and her steady heartbeat is comforting. She is 8 months old. How can she know how to make me feel better?
Love, again, to everyone. It’s all I got to offer. Love and respect to you all.
I am sorry you are feeling all sorts of emotions lately TT… i know how easy it is to try to drink our sorrows away but then that same feeling us still there most of the time after sobering up. i have been sober for 4 months now, my body just started not wanting alcohol and i would vomit. i’m really happy and proud of myself for that. i have been trying my very best to stay positive thru these crazy times. i am not religious but i have been doing virtual rosary with my family every night when i am not airborne. i have been trying to be the bigger person and take the high road with a co-worker who has been around people who have tested positive for COVID when the true me would’ve already confronted her “professionally” about it but i have left it up to my manager. today i found out my lil sister who has 3 adorable daughters just got laid off .. sorry to vent here but bottom line is we are all going through something but we must stick together and BE KIND. i hope you are getting some much needed rest and hope you feel better tomorrow. ?
My pup’s super large head is resting by my side. Love.
Well. She is having a running dream. I adore it.
She snored and cuddled. And didn’t kick my bladder before she left the couch. She is lying on the floor all on display back giving no f’s. She is a 155 lb English Mastiff.
Now she is giving me a dirty look. Likely because I am watching Teen Mom.
Cute! How old is she? I have two English Mastiffs my boy is 3 and my girl is 13. They are sure a lot of company! 🙂
She is two and a half. Still growing. Her back end is up high again so she will then fill out even more. Her Dad is 240lbs. She’s 155 to 160 lbs currently. Love EMs. Wow so happy to hear this. And 13. And 3. I am sharing my office with her today….My workspace at home that she wants to take over. No such thing as personal space.
Lol no personal space with them! Charlie still thinks he’s a little baby and he’s nearly 200 pounds. I don’t know if you’re on Facebook but there is a group called Mastiff Lovers with 45k members and everyone posts a lot of pictures..it’s a nice break from reality and news to see those goofballs all over my timeline.
Mother Angelica’s live classics. Matt.20 (world’s tough today ) 8PM. EWTN. She comforts me, perhaps she will comfort others struggling as well.
I’m pretty self quarantined on a normal basis as I have something close to agoraphobia. Not full on but if there is a way I can do something without leaving the safety of my house that’s what I do. For our Lentil season i committed to walking outside 3-4 times a week and was trying but struggling with being outside, even though I’m armed when I leave my house. After work yesterday, I work from home, 3 of my 6 grandkids came over, the 3 littles 7,6 and 1 year. We ended up putting on Baby shark and laughing and dancing for an hour, man did that feel good! My DIL and have been quarantined with 5 kids through this so taking 3 of them off her hands for a bit and just being a kid and dancing was a blast and really helped my mood. So for Lentil Season I will be putting on a crazy song sometime during the day and just being a kid and dancing and laughing. I recommend it, find the craziest song or fun song you can and dance your troubles away.
Anxiety kicking in today on overdrive. Anxiety is new to me. THANKS to everyone here!!!! Can’t say enough what this site means to me!!!!!
While Trump thinks we should all be packing in the churches. My county and the county I live very close to have declared a state of emergency and everyone is supposed to be sheltered in place. The numbers are getting very scary.
Also I am about to have severe thunderstorms AND under a tornado watch. So, um nothing to worry about here.
I’ve not read the current posts. When they get over 50 or 60 I struggle.
Just need to report that I am still alive and haven’t murdered anyone. I am also drunk. So much for rationing my alcohol! (FYI… I have 2 bottles under my bed. Cracked open one, but mainly drank from the public bottles so I think my parents suspect.) It is a good thing I am drunk though… earlier I had a HINT of a sore throat. I was convinced I had the rona…. but it was a weather change and allergy meds, etc. plus vodka fixed that.
Hi TT and All here! Waving and cyber hugging.
We’re on Day 5 here and trying to stop binge eating and couch potato’ing. Our eldest dauggter keeps visiting her boyfriend and his 13 yr old son, so that’s worrisome but we are making it through. Day 5 is how long I’ve been laid off from work. Still waiting with baited breath to see if anyone there is infected/exposed me. Plus, my youngest daughter and I both had medical offices tests earlier in month so also waiting to see if anyone infected there.
Can’t wait to catch up on the recaps and all the comments! Thanks for being here (((TT))).
