Let us all go to church with Bobby McFerrin this morning.
Start here and just let it play through all his songs. You won’t regret it…
I know a lot of you are still in the hole. You feel like you are never going to feel better. I promise, it can and will happen. Make the space you live in a bit cleaner and nicer. Listen to Bobby McFerrin. Keep the faith. And keep talking to us. Keep emailing me privately if you need to. I want everyone to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. There are some good things about being in the hole. You really find out a lot about other people. I got a lot of “STFU and do your job, no one cares that you are depressed or anxious. We come her for your posts. DO YOUR JOB.” Every single day. Ignore those people. Stick around for those of us who will listen no matter how long it takes and stick around until you come out the other side. You will come out the other side. I promise. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you! Hang in there!
I usually do a deep cleaning when family comes to visit in the spring. I’m good about keeping the kitchen and bathrooms clean, but it takes visitors to make me notice dust and see the need to get out the carpet cleaner. No family this year again, so I need to get motivated.
If you want to feel better and get motivated, watch Hoarders. That will make you want to clean crevices with a toothbrush. My problem with cleaning is that if I have to kneel to reach anything, I have trouble standing back up. I actually bought knee pads.
And fuck those people who tell you how to run this site. I’ve been in that hole and sympathize.
Already my day is 😊. Love Ya TT. Thanks for hanging in there for us.
I was at Walmart at 7:00 am, when they opened. That’s a 30 minute ride from my house. I bought all garden things. Then got gas, lottery tickets and scratch offs. Next was the grocery story. I have a pot roast cooking as we speak. Watching the Housewives from ATL marathon. I do contest online while it’s on. I do all chores during the commercials. Along with 9 elderly cats that are never happy.
Banjo is just happy to have a rug, any rug back in the living room. I don’t understand why because it isn’t a thick or even thick at all like the old one. He has been sleeping on my dining room rug which was must more expensive because I needed a special shade of green. lol. And yes I know I have a yellow and rust living room next to a greenish dining room. Shut it. I am the only one who has to live here. 🙂
I won’t judge the rust and green (I did) because you have to live with it. I’m stuck with blue and gold and I’m so tired of it. If Banjo is happy then it works.
I have to tackle the blinds. It’s worse than dust that can be brushed off because of fires and ash. If I get close they smell like ash. It will require a bucket of soapy water and open windows.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because of the way people are showing their true colors these days but I AM a little surprised that people are such @ssholes about your health and how to run this site. I comment infrequently (always too much going on) but I come here for your personality and to remember that there are decent people out there. I’m sorry you’re having a rough time of it these days and hope things get better soon. Please have someone take a look at your back issues. It could be as simple as a pinched nerve that went numb or something more serious.
Love this site – whether it’s warts or roses, it’s still the best!
Blessings await ❣
Hi! Have been reading on and off through the years. Hesitant to comment in the past cause I was not in a receptive state to get eviscerated for having a difference of opinion. After much therapy and Zen meditation, I understand people better and have a better understanding as to why people behave the way they do. It feels like Covid really showed the state that people are in. I think the Tamara Tattles site provides a place that people can speak and relate to one another. It takes one person (Tamara in this case) to show honesty and vulnerability to make others open up and let them know they are not alone, strength in numbers! I also don’t believe in tearing a person down when they need a few kind words, support, and to just know that they are not a piece of excrement. For people to tell Tamara to STFU and get on with it (sounds like my sister) says everything about them. Those are the ones who are really suffering and all you can do is hope that one day they get a glimpse of empathy or that things get so bad for them they are forced to make a change. To say that no one cares, is really, they don’t care and that is fair enough. However, I do believe in decorum and will call out people on nasty, unwarranted behavior, but not in a reciprocating manner. Just know that for those who claim not to care, there are those that do care. As a person who has anxiety and depression, I understand where those who are afflicted are at. Society is in a bad place right now and they want others to feel their wrath. Thank you to those who are candid and honest, there is zero shame in it and it is not a sign of weakness. If anything it is a sign of strength, as you get up each morning, shower, brush your teeth, take care of the household, go to work, etc. The energy and strength it takes each day to do that is off the charts and that is strength. Be well and as long as you are doing YOUR best each day, that is all that matters!
