StanF23 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Took my meds. Drank some coffee. Went to the gym. Ran on the treadmill. Lifted some weights. Came home. Ate.So, the question becomes...what part of this is supposed to bring me enjoyment? At this point, I am just going through the motions. Everything looks 2-dimensional. Living in a cartoon world. Each day, it's the same fr!ggin episode. It rewinds during the night, and the next day I do it all over again. To what end...I have no idea.

20YearsandCounting Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I finally got the Christmas tree put up yesterday, and I invited my oldest daughter over to help decorate it. I even went out and got Subway for supper. Wow. It was exhausting emotionally, but we laughed and had a great time. Best wishes, everyone! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I was able to get out to pick up my meds today. Also picked up chicken wings for our Christmas treat. It's just me and my elderly mother and that's what she chose to eat. I'm happy I got them for her.The best Christmas gift I could ever give myself is to knock some things off my to-do list. The best gift I could give my mother is to vacuum her room. Not sure if I can manage, but the idea always sounds so good at the time. lolI can't tell you how much I enjoy reading all the posts here. It's such a comfort to know there are others who understand the hurdle we can face by just opening mail or changing a light bulb.Speaking of opening mail, I opened 3 pieces of mail that have been sitting here on my desk for days. Sometimes my blog readers send me stuff and I have a very hard time with personal mail. I opened and replied via email. That was BIG for me!!! So glad that task is done. Bathroom bulb has been burned out since July. Maybe I can get that done too. I'm at least putting it on my list. Ugh! lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I finally left a voicemail for my pdoc. I feel oddly proud about it.I have a very hard time with the phone, including leaving voicemail... so I'm very proud of you!!! I've been trying to schedule an appt for a bad tooth for over 2 years now. Still can't manage. 1. involves a phone call. 2. involves a tooth! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I changed my bathroom light bulb. Finally! Only took like 2 minutes. Well, over 5 months... and 2 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasquish Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Charistmas dsm, A new year is around the corner and hopefully we'll all have a very good one with progress towards our goals. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talmida Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) I finally got up energy to make myself a pan of pasta and maybe later I'll bake me some butter cookies (all I have ingredients for right now and I really don't want to face the hordes of shoppers in the supermarket). I don't celebrate Christmas (not my religious belief) and all my family is (thankfully) halfway across the country from me, so I'll be alone today but I think I'll be okay with that. Maybe I'll have it in me to take a walk tomorrow if the thermometer cracks 45 degrees..... Edited December 25, 2013 by Talmida 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 No matter what I do on holidays, I feel like I've done it all wrong. I made an effort to make Christmas just the same as any other day and now I kind of regret it. Oh well. So far I have not cried and I am making lunch. My plan is to watch tv with my mother and just try to get through the day with no arguing. It's a sunny day which always makes me feel worse. I do better on gray days. When the sun shines, I start to pick up as it sets. So, I look forward to sunset. I'm also keeping up with doing the dishes as I dirty them. I don't want a sink full. I hope you all spend your day the best way you possibly can, even if it's just staring at a different wall for a change of scenery. Remember you are not alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Today I folded my laundry that I did last night and put it away. It's the putting away part that is amazing. I usually live out of the laundry basket, sometimes not even folded. Just a lump of wrinkled clean clothes. I still don't turn stuff right side out. It gets put away inside out and I turn it next time I wear it. That little bit of effort that I save myself during laundry time seems to help. lolI also took in my mail, put it down as usual, then walked right back and went through it. It was all junk so I tossed in the recycle bin. I am trying very hard to not let my mail build up.Now I'm mentally exhausted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flasquish Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Went grocery shopping this morning, yum.....food. But passed a fatal car accident 500 feet from my neighborhood. Made me realize even more that life is wonderful, even the bad times. I want to live! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmooey Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I cut two really healthy and delicious salads for my husband and me for dinner. YUM!Good antidote for all the holiday treats that are catching up to my belly! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovenote Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Went to work, and then when I came back home after, instead of surfing the web and generally wasting time, I did 2.5 hours of painting! Feeling good right now. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graycoyote Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Made it to church twice today. Taught Sunday School this morning and it went very well. Several good comments. We went out for lunch, had a nice time. The day started off dreary and rainy but the Sun shone all afternoon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I just made a phone call to ask if the oil man will be coming and I sounded like a complete fool. The guy even said "it would help if you told me who the h*** you are!" I choke when I'm on the phone. I have other phone calls to make but don't think I can attempt another one today. I'm trying to be happy that I made at least one call, but right now I'm just too stressed out. Does anyone else have a really hard time on the phone?

AintNoHer0 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Got more of my tattoo done, outlines now finished it covers the full length of my arm. Coloring has begun too which didn't hurt much at the time but is sore now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
