highanxiety Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I haven't been on the forum for awhile. Thought I would check in. Today was about getting up too late and falling behind on every thing I needed to accomplish, but I did. I seem to have become the nocturnal type staying until 3 or 4am watching movies or writing with absolutely no concept of time. Need to remedy that as I waste half the next day. Got bad news from a friend in Philadelphia Wednesday which has been on my mind a lot. Been watching the Olympics. They are awesome. Michael Phelps and the other US swimmers are amazing. Women's Gymnastic Team incredible. All and all it is hard to stop watching. Other than that watching CNN off and on catching up and finding how unbelievable this Presidential election is. It is beginning to scare me. Watched four great movies. Recommend them. "Sicko" is a documentary by Michael Moore about our medical insurance flaws here in the US. Comparing the many countries with Universal Health Insurance to our set up which pales by comparison. "Theory of Everything" "Still Alice" "The Imitation Game". Not much interest going out as it is hot and have air conditioning. I know the West Coast is nothing compared to the rest of the country with the heat, humidity, and floods. That is about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsea Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Went to work, light lunch, pushed myself to do 25% more exercise. Picked up my kid. Made dinner. Watched much Olympics. Avoided drinks but not snacks. Did the dishes. Got antibiotics into the cat & fed her. Showered, shaved. Treated my tennis elbow. Got my back waxed (now I feel like a human instead of a silverback). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad and deep Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I so understand and going to the store (you actually went to 2) is a HUGE SUCCESS!! I have agoraphobia and rarely ever leave my home. Everything has to be delivered or I go without. My house is beyond disgusting. I too am severely obese and just moving is a challenge. It's also embarrassing, so I take my hat off to you! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin2013 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Today I did 2 laundry loads--one was the bed sheets. When they were done, I made up the bed and started a load of my clothes. I showered. I spent some happy time loading music onto my iPod (old click wheel iPod) and making sure the new computer software has all my music the way I want it to be. But it was great playing music and listening on my headphones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Robin Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Was once again very tempted to call in sick today but still went in. I was tired all day though. Feel like I need to take some time off but 1) with my job you have to request time off weeks in advance and 2) since I don't plan on staying there very long I'm trying to hoard vacation time so I can get paid for it in cash once I quit. I was just dragging all day... tired and worn out. Weekends never seem to last long enough no matter what your job is but when you only get every other weekend off it especially seems like you blink and you miss them. If I had stayed home I wouldn't have done anything, just stayed in bed all day. Tonight I am going to sit down and watch PBS and just zone out. Have off tomorrow and don't have a bunch of appointments like usual, just a couple, so hopefully I can catch up on chill time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfinding Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have a job interview tom, hopefully I get it. It's close and it's just a small retail store. Not very hard. I missed my appointment so I rescheduled wed day. Was actually a good day, I felt good. I went out with my brother, and it was a lot of fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Robin Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Got through another day at work, then went to the gym, and that's where things got interesting. The gym I go to is across the parking lot from a "big box" store and I was finishing up my workout on a machine that face the window that faces that store. I saw a car go driving through the parking lot and I thought to myself, That looks like a car I usually see in the parking lot at work. So I kept going and a moment or so later I think I saw the woman from work who I have such a hardcore crush on walking into the store. It was far away but it looked like her, especially with the dress she was wearing. So now I was in a quandary... here I had a potential opportunity to see her outside of work, which almost never happens. And I thought maybe I could even impress her by looking all manly, what with my gym clothes on, sweat on my face and in my hair. Thought I'd just go over to that store myself and just "bump into her," and be Mr. Nonchalant, yeah I just got done working out at the gym, getting all buff and stuff, then I remembered I had to pick up something here. Part of me said to do it and stop being such a wuss, another part of me said she might think you're a stalker or something. Plus I thought maybe instead of seeing me as masculine she would see me as all sweaty and gross (not that I was drenched or anything) and I may even have BO that I didn't notice because I've become "nose blind" to it. Finally I decided against it. But I don't live that far away from there and all the way home I was thinking I would turn around at the next intersection and go back. I don't know. This is maddening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
