There was a date in May that would make me feel the same, oddly. It's been years and it now no longer bothers me, but you're so right with time healing all wounds. A lot of cliche things hold truth in my opinion! I've gone through A LOT of trauma in my life unfortunately, so my healing processes tend to always take longer.  I'm sorry to hear Mouse passed around that time, and I hope within time things will get easier for you and your family! 

I wish my torso was a bit longer, I feel I look so awkward looking with it. It's also just hard to wear a lot of clothing without it looking weird as well lol What can ya do though? I've ended up accepting it, but still get irked about it at times. 

Today has been on and off, I'll be fine and then I'm not. (I know I have bipolar, but it's not really that affecting me -- it's just the current situation(s)).

Thank you, and happy early anniversary to you both! The boyfriend and I have been going strong for about 3-4 years now, we take things slow still since we've both been hurt in the past.

The longest was 15 years for me (combination of friendship+relationship), but one day he decided to just leave I was at work -- packed all his stuff and everything, never heard from him again. Found out he moved to another state completely to be with another, got married, and had kids.  Enough about that lil side story though -- I tend to overshare sometimes lol 

I LOVE salmon, and freezing it was the right thing to do! Sometimes we buy something a lil before we're going to use it, or something just comes up and we don't get to -- so we just freeze it. I haven't had salmon in so long, and now I wanna go out whenever we do again for shopping and pick some up. ...If there is any, as usual with anything lately. Always have to hope not everyone decided it was the next "big craze" to buy out. Apparently baking products here are now the new thing to overbuy. 

Your story honestly just made my day better.  I know all too well of a big ol dog running loose and not listening -- my boys have done it so many times. We had 5 at one point, and one day all 5 got loose.. and that's enough just from that bit of wording.

I did? Awesome, lol. I struggle intensely with verbalising my thoughts because of the MS, so it's a miracle if I have success in that area!

DO ET!

Visit the English countryside vicariously! Now I'm just gonna sulk a bit as he hasn't done any stories today.

 

I have trouble myself, so many times. I think mines just my brain is always too overactive and jumbled up. (Woo anxiety+other conditions)! I get my days where I can do it, but most of the time -- nope.

I have done the thing!! I'm not always active on IG, but that just means I'll have more to look at.

All the yes for this! People who are entirely uninvolved but aren't complete strangers can be sympathetic/empathetic without things becoming complicated. No baggage involved!

I recommend this bread! I'm gonna keep making it that's for sure!

I also recommend following that guy if you're on Instagram. I'd go so far as recommending signing up just to follow him, lol. Watching him doing things like tending to his baby goats, foraging for wild garlic, hatching baby chicks and cooking amazing stuff in the kitchen... really good for the soul right now!

Yes!! I didn't know how to fully explain it, but you did perfectly -- thank you!

Next trip out, I'll need to see if I can find the ingredients -- if everyone hasn't panic bought that stuff yet...

I have an IG! So I'll be sure to look him up and give a follow -- all of that sounds right up my ally, and it's indeed for the soul during these times!

@Duma Oddly, I don't think I've heard of that! Maybe I have and my brain is also just being difficult with it. 

@jellysundae Such an iconic song and just the aesthetic of the dragon, I usually remember things that way too -- even if I never possibly saw it personally! 

Today is also a lil hard for me, this month & date is a constant reminder of something in the past now -- but a hard decision I needed to make for me and the other party that was involved. Here's to hoping I can make it through the day in one piece, and one day this won't affect me as badly. 

My in-laws did stop by and drop off a shower chair for me -- we were having a hard time to find one that isn't too bulky and such for our shower, and since I have a few problems, it's hard for me to shower normally. It fits, and is perfect size for me! (I'm also like 4'10", but my legs are long and my torso is short, it's such a weird combo)!

I was able to set up my appointment for 1st of May (which is also my birthday), but I did it! All that's left is the video conference on that day. 

It happens so much to us too, pups or just clumsiness, but it really just was the icing for me yesterday.

Small edit! 

@jellysundae

I'm really thankful for you all -- sometimes talking to others that aren't in my everyday life in person is easier. (There's no problems here IRL, but different opinions and such is never a bad thing). 

That bread looks amazing, and I'm totally saving the recipe!! 

Your variation also sounds absolutely amazing, might have to try it both ways.

@jellysundae

I honestly can't remember if I have or haven't -- I deff know about it and can recognize it, but my brain just fogs up when I try to think if I have or not.

...Something to do during quarantine I suppose! 

The hat position is really irking me, but the colour is really cute imo!

He ponders all that you have said.
 

Erm... have you been keeping up with your reading?

King Hagan Says:
That didn't make any sense at all. Preposterous!
If I could go lower than an F-, I would. (294 out of 1000)

 

Weeeelll, he didn't like that, that's for certain.

Hit a nerve with that one it seems, even goes as far as to give an F- 

Well, even I got an F- today, I clicked a wrong part of my response, and didn't realize until I already entered it. 

Oh well, there's always tomorrow!

If I'm being honest -- today has been extremely awful for me. 

It's things I can't really go into detail on the forums for a number of reasons besides just personal turmoil stuff -- and I honestly just feel horrible at this moment.

I hope all of you are having a better day, and I'm really appreciative of everyone's kindness and warm welcoming here. The forums have become a safe place of sorts for me recently, and I can see it staying a place where I can take a breath and know I'm safe here. 

@Mouseykins I agree on them just pulling that card because it's easier, but I still really dislike they even do that. They're a doctor, it's their job, and it seems some only did it for the pay. I know it's a lil rude to say, but my mom has given her entire life dedicated to the medical field, and has always taken the time for her patients -- even if it got her written up. (Which is honestly really stupid). She's retired now, but she was such a good nurse, and even more. I feel like I'm going crazy a lot of the time because so many haven't taken the time to listen to me, and keep blowing it off. I am thankful I have found a few doctors for some of my issues.

I have to make a video call with one of my doctors from my hometown, since I am stranded in another state cause of the current pandemic and the restrictions. I am very nervous because I have anxiety with video calls and making calls on the phone as is, so I'll try to tomorrow with my boyfriend beside me. It's mostly just to chat how my current meds are working before they initiate a refill, and to see if I should be changed to something new, or high dosage, or keep the same.

The mirror on my wall ended up falling cause of a mini earthquake loosening it a few days ago, I suppose, and that shattered and broke. My glasses semi broke today because I was in such a foggy state of mind, I didn't realize they were where I was about to sit. The boyfriend luckily repaired them enough so they're usable, and luckily the lenses didn't crack or anything -- still angry at myself for it because I can't do much of anything until I am back home.

We went out for food today because neither of us were in the mindset to be cooking, and I ended up dropping it as soon as I got in the door. Not much fell/got ruined, but it was still just the /current/ icing on the cake for the day so far. 

This got kinda venty, but it was really the only stuff I was able to share out of my day that wouldn't be too personal for the forums. 

Not really an achievement achievement, but trying to get/find a Har Codestone so I can pay for a course, and then be able to withdraw myself so I can re-enter The Academy. 

(I'm wanting to work on my pets level)! 

I'm going to keep trying myself tbh! 

Edit: I'm getting better, I got a B today, so it's an improvement! 

@Mouseykins

There's not much breeze here, just extremely hot still. Aaaaa. I cannot stand it lol Though I know exactly how it feels to try cleaning up anything outdoors when there's a breeze, it just makes more of a mess than it's worth at that point.  We had two weeks of rain, and now nothing, and I want it to rain again just because I love the rain, and it also kinda helps with the heat here. 

I totally know the feeling of doctors dismissing things, I was told that about my PCOS for YEARS until someone finally took it seriously. I've also had issues with my other diagnosis getting thrown out the window, but I'm finding doctors/therapists that will actually listen to me, and know it's not just my "hormones" because of being a woman -- I seriously loathe that card they pull, and they do it quite frequently. I've been using a steroid based cream myself, but already forgot the name of it, I think it's the same one you got! It's so hard for me not to "overdo" washing my hands, or cleaning anything, but I at least can calm whenever it's irritated.  We're actually using the same hand soap! It was a pain to find, but we did end up getting lucky! 

It truly is, and it's not even cause we're slobs honestly. People get busy, things pile up, and half the time we don't even have the time to spare to clean it up. You're totally right it gets done eventually! Some people just choose to ignore the facts lol Sorry I got a lil ranty, but so many people don't get it like you and I do. 

Later on she will come to understand and appreciate it, I'm sure! It's better to be safe than sorry, and I wish other parents would follow what you're doing honestly. (I'm sure a few are, but some seem to be ignoring the seriousness of what's going on -- parents or not). My father was the same with me though, and would make up lil stories so I wouldn't question too much lol All in good meaning though.

If you still have the free course link(s) would you mind sending me them through a message? I'm having a difficult time finding anything free, and maybe I'm just overlooking, but it'd be nice for me to do something like that too while I wait til the times right to attend school again! Forensic Science is awesome, and there's so many sub-categories of it too!

I type super fast too! The boyfriend (and my father) always are shocked, and ask how I'm even capable of it -- even without looking at the keyboard. I would always just say it's a woman thing.

I do with that RE too, the idea is just so silly and funny.

Even when it happens to me I can usually manage to laugh about it.

Feels like Pokemon as well xD

@jellysundae

Awe -- thank you so much! 

I just logged in a couple minutes ago and saw the notification! I had to come here and thank you personally. 

Here's to hoping. 

Money is a lil tight atm. (Thanks to this whole pandemic going around), so I'll have to wait on buying any.

I hope you all get something nice outta 'em if you purchase!

Aaaaa. I ended up missing the final Negg because I had an emergency with my health. So no Kari dress for me. 

@Mouseykins

Hello! I'm home now -- finally. It's so hot out today, and ick lol

We have one of those two, but our boys shed so much -- and if it's not kept up with that lil thing will not work lol We'll sweep tomorrow cause we've been out all day running errands, and the heat is just too much. (We need to have our AC fixed, what a fantastic time for it to break). 

Our town doesn't have any cases either, so people are not listening to the measurements, but they really should. I cannot stand people in my space in general, but even more so now with this virus going around. We carry sanitizer with us at all times too -- and I'm also just a germaphobe. My eczema is always angry at me just from that, and now me even more overdoing it cause of the current situation. (My poor hands lol) People gathering up still, and just doing things that.. shouldn't be even done at this moment. I wish people would just listen, even if it's not affecting the current town -- it's still affecting the state, and the area(s) around our town, and it will probably eventually lead to a couple cases here. I'm going insane just with how they're acting. 

Most of my family is meh, but the ones who aren't were thankfully there. I was glad I could be there for him, we were always close, so I knew eventually would come a time I would need to do this.

No shame in things piling up -- things happen.  I know personally that things can pile up without the intention of doing so -- but even more so now because we're all trying to limit out outside exposure. Either way, we just try to avoid company seeing it -- if we even have any with what's going on.

I honestly think it's a good idea with holding off on sending your kids back to school, even when/if they do open up. I know I'll be doing that myself.

I've been into it since early teens, and been in classes since probably beginning of high school!

I am totally the same as I mentioned in the past replies, but once I get to typing, I don't stop, and I'll even bring up things not regarding the current topic too. (Gotta love my brain that just goes on and on and on). 

@Mouseykins

I'll give a more detailed reply soon! I have some things to do today, but once I have free time -- I'll be able to chat!
