Daily Thread 205

I was sitting out in my patio but it got too hot, even in the shade so I came in and logged in. I have been working in the yard in short bursts so as not to over heat, which is easy to do because of my duloxetine.

Some of my garden is blooming in spite of me. I have blue flax, verbascum, salvia, daisies, foxglove and delphiniums. I also have a very luxuriant cat mint bush which loves all the rain we have been having. In fact, tonight I'm going to have to turn the sprinkler on for the first time in a few weeks. My sage is loving it in it's tire planter. The raspberries I thought were gone have put up new leaves at the base. My biggest surprise though is the hollyhocks that are now growing in the dog pen. Many years ago my mother went to Monet's garden in France and swiped a few hollyhock seed pods. Her plants are gone, and I thought mine were too, but they seeded them selves in a spot they obviously like. They are very unique because they are a very dark purple, almost black color.

Work is going OK. I am happy to have a job and going from office to office as a fill in is less stressful. I am mostly lonely. I had great plans of joining the Denver Women's chorus this fall but they practice on Sundays. That means an hour drive down and an hour back. I had hoped they would meet during the week so I could go after work. Now I just don't know.

Peace and calm to all

Hi you guys...

Jamie I am happy your succulents are doing well. I bet they look cool!

Kathy,

Your flowers sound lovely. I love fox glove and delphiniums. And the hollyhocks sound awesome!!!

I hope you get to go to sing in the chorus.

Hugs, Karen...

Hello Trina,

Thanks for starting another thread. This is my favorite thread.

I hope you all have a good day today. And a good weekend!

Hugs, Karen...

Yep, correct, and they traverse our southern waters. Good one Trendy. HT

Wanted to say hi to everyone 👋🏻 I am new to the forum.

Hi K15,

Welcome to the depression forum. Glad you are here but sorry about depression.

Hugs, Karen...

Welcome, K15. I hope this forum helps you. I mostly lurk nowadays, but even that is helpful, mainly when reading about others' stories. We all share something here, which I guess is both good and bad.

Thanks, Trina... just trying to keep at it and do the best with what we're given, as we all do around here. I may be mostly lurking, but it's inspiring when people find answers and solutions here. Best wishes to everyone!

Hi Paul,

Glad you popped in and glad to know you have been lurking.

Hope you have a good week.

Hugs, Karen...

Thank you all... hope things are going well, or at least with promise to get better. It's been rather foul in my area with the haze, smoke, heat and humidity, but thankfully that's slowly dissipating for now. Climate change? This is something brand new here over the last few years.

Just to put things in perspective, I heard that the chances of a particular asteroid hitting Earth just "improved" to 1 in 1750 (from some much less probable figure). That's the bad news... the good news is that we have another 100 years before this happens. All those asteroid disaster movies will remain fiction for now (or so we hope!)

Hi Trina -- yes, 100 years is a long time for technology to advance. Maybe we'll be taking a joyride on that asteroid instead of watching in fear as it smashes into the Earth.

Best wishes to all. Hopefully no one here is affected by the Afghanistan situation, as I know of some service members and vets who were taken aback by it. Who knows how that'll pan out, but I trust sane voices will prevail eventually.

Paul you speak how I feel.
Constantly reminding myself, "these things are out of my control, I can't change them alone."

To make a difference in our corners of the world, our health mental and physical must be considered 1st.

Then planning with safety, so the support given will be what is imagined
