I just posted a reply to Nice Cup of Tea and then forgot it wasn't the daily check in and went on about my day. I'm sure she won't mind.

I had an OK day. No driving! I worked in the yard, hung out with the boys - both are home for a bit right now.

HI Mike, Kathy and Jamie!

I hope you all are having a good day/night...

Gloomy here, but not suppose to rain until Thursday. And rain it will. A lot... I call it the "change of season rain". It is from the hurricane I imagine, it happens every year.

Take care all!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Jamie that is definitely a truism!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Mainer, traffic jams are hard on the bladder to be sure!, I experience them a couple times a month going to therapy on 95 outside of Philadelphia. However, my therapist is so worth it.

Peace to all

HI Trina,

When I see my therapist the first stop is the bathroom since she is an hour away. And if there is road construction it is longer.

I hope you have a good day...

Hugs to all...

Today I'm just going to chill out and watch week one of the 2019 NFL football season on TV.

As for tonight, the Patriots battle the Steelers. Should be a good one.

Go Pats!

Just did stuff around the house and yard today and went for a walk with the dog between thunderstorms.

My body is falling apart.

My shoulders and back have been aching me all day. My former chiropractor once told me that people, with back issues, don't feel pain during the summer. I guess there is something about the warmth that ease back muscles.

I'm going to see the chiropractor tomorrow, and I pray that I get some relief, so I can get back to exercising etc.

Cold here this morning but suppose to warm up through out the week. Rain too. I guess there is going to be another hurricane next week. Boo... I feel badly for the people who have lost their homes from the last one.

I hope you all have a good day today!

Hugs, Karen...

Good Evening, All. Well, for the first time in almost 2 years today, I took a regular day off (which was not a sick day!). I didn't do anything overly special with it. I've been working a lot of hours so I did some sleeping and some cleaning. My daughter went back to college last week and I'm trying to get the place back to my "normal." I got 2 1/4 rooms done today, so i guess that's not too bad.

My depression has been picking up again. I know I am lonely and would love some companionship....but it is what it is at the moment. I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi all,
Still taking one day at a time
Started the tweaking of my resume today- not doing well with all this time on my hands and grieving
Used to having 10 hrs that I had to concentrate on complicated work issues and the just a few hrs a night to let my grief out.
I do a lot of crying all day. Don't know- maybe I need it? My coping mechanism for any grief I've gone through is to repress it.
Have been having headaches and an RA flare and now my stomach is killing me from too much Advil- can't win.
Washed out, laid new shelf liner and re-arranged one pantry cabinet.
Husband grumbled- just like Walmart -change the location of everything so I can't find anything.

I had an insanely busy day at work today. My colleague just got back from major surgery today and looked like death warmed over, so I took up the slack for him. I will do the same for him tomorrow and I can sleep in on Wednesday.

Cass, every time one of my kids leaves, I get depressed. They have been coming and going since my oldest graduated from high school in 2011 and I never get used to it. Although I don't mind not finding dirty socks in odd places (boys!) or tracking down dirty dishes.

Many healing Thoughts to ya all. I need the loo often i have scopoed out the good ones in my area!!! HT

A lot of people are feeling more depressed lately. I wonder if it is from the days getting shorter and less sun. Just a thought.

I hope you all are feeling well today and that you have a good day/night for Jamie.

Raining here.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is having a good day.

Today was surprisingly productive for me as I spoke with a career counselor.

He told me so many things I did not know. Apparently, potential employers can learn so much about a person just through handwriting, among other things. He also told me not to put my address on my resume and cover letter as potential employers form bias notions about a person based off where they live (i.e. if a person lives in a wealthy, affluent area, the potential employer thinks they may demand a high salary).

He also stated that a person should never put when they graduated from school because potential employers try to guess a person age based on that date.

It's so interesting as I have done many of the things that I shouldn't have. Now, I have to totally revise my resume.

FP,

Thanks for the interesting tidbits. They are interesting to know. I am glad you spoke with a career counselor. Sounds like it helped.

I hope you have a good evening.

Hugs, Karen...

Sounds interesting Jamie. Especially the tree of life.

Staying busy is good.

Have a good night mate.

Just found out that my thyroid is running a little high again. In a way I am relieved. I have been feeling off for about a month with kind of vague symptoms. Usually when this happens and I go to the doctor, nothing is wrong and I feel like an idiot. I can take medication to tone it down, so hopefully I will feel better soon.

I have a sore throat right now and it is either from singing soprano in choir tonight when I am normally an alto or I am getting sick. I'll know by tomorrow.

Everyone have a good day (night) tomorrow

I've had a string of disappointments today.

Two temporary jobs, that I thought I would get, fell through. I was suppose to work on revising my resume today, but I didn't even have the energy (oh, how I wish I had an abundance of energy, instead of feeling lethargic all the time). One would think that I would feel energized as I don't have to get up early to go to work, but it is actually the opposite. I wonder if it is my depression?

To top it off, my tooth is hurting again, but I don't yet have the money for root canal. (Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a broken record about my teeth).

I think I'm going to buy a lottery scratch-off tomorrow. Hopefully, I may win something.

Have a good night.

Hi my friends. May peace be with you all, may positivity present itself in mysterious ways and may you capture the beauty of a bird or animal; be mindful on your path, in solidarity unity is reinforced and the bonds rarely break.

Keep strong and reaching out. Tonight i send many healing thoughts to all. HT
