Hey @Ken_DaNerdiest1 my afternoon is disappearing so quickly, but not a bad day. Glad you're looking forward to football!

Last year on this day my dad died, so I've been having an emotional roller coaster since 2AM. I'm ready for the day to be over.

Definitely can’t be happy all the time although I wish we could. It’s why we have to make our own happiness sometimes.

Yeah, I've learned the hard way, that sometimes the only way to be happy is to create it for ourselves.

I've dealt with some depression before and they definitely come in waves. Luckily, life is going incredibly well for myself at the moment and I haven't had to deal with too much adversity as of late aside from being sick. Reach out if you ever want to talk about something in specific though, I talk to people for a living and I happen to be some peoples "personal therapist" when they just want someone to talk to on the phone.

Yeah, depression and anxiety have been my downfall in life and have taken much of my life away where I couldn't function well and I was pretty much-wasting life away. Thankfully, I don't experience it like I used to, which was pretty consistent.

Thanks for the offer, by the way. Nice to know some people care enough to be your personal therapist.

I'm very sorry about of the passing of your dad last year.

@prophet No, I can't even decide.

This is one I wanted to give the “care” reaction to.

It’s okay! Thank you! It’s been a day. I slept and even took a nap.

How's everyone doing on this fine Thursday?

It's about to start getting in the 100-degree weather soon, not looking forward to that.

Hopefully, I get a little rest before my overnight shift tonight, but drinking a caffeine drink before I clock in usually keeps me awake.

I'm excited because West Virginia is 10 degrees cooler than Texas. Oh dear I hope you do get some rest! Energy drinks usually don't keep me away, but the days where I need to sleep... those are the days where it really keeps me awake xD

Hey everyone! It's my weekend now, but I have to get some bloodwork done tomorrow. It'll be better if I get it down earlier than later, I need to get it done before my endocrinologist appointment next Friday.

Hopefully the blood work goes well!

I'm leaving for my trip tomorrow morning, driving to Tennessee tomorrow - about 8 hour drive and then driving to West Virginia on Saturday. I'll be back hopefully Thursday.

Good morning everyone! ❤️

Yeah, I bet the summers there are a whole lot better than down here in Texas.

I couldn't fall asleep before I went to work, but I drank a Coke frozen drink and I'm sure that kept me awake. I slept quite a bit after I came home from work though, getting up and around recently at 3 PM-ish.

I don't drink energy drinks, but I used to drink these energy teas. They were so good, but I think they raised my anxiety through the roof.

Good morning everyone! ❤️

What's going on today?

 

[Cedric]

What's going on today?

Been working, had some drinks after with a bunch of mates at a local bar. Enjoying the warm weather and now going home. Might go for an evening ride with my bike, but I’m not sure yet. The warm weather made me tired.

How about you?

 

[Cedric]

Good morning everyone! Off with the kids today to do some riding on horses. 😃

Not much except watching MTV Classic.

It is so warm today! I have chosen to stay inside with the fan on as I don't do too well in heat at all.

Other than having a sleepless night last night due to pain I am feeling okay, fighting a battle with my PC I don't think I can win but doing what I can to push through with this thing until I can get my new one in a few weeks! Gonna be so happy when I have a new computer that actually behaves itself!

So if I am a little quiet or absent, this is why will get on as much as I can and as much as my PC allows at the moment.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

[Nebulous]

Hi all, hows it going? I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

 

[Cedric]

Morning everyone. Monday already! 😅

 

[Ken]

Happy Monday all, what's going on today?

What kind of computer is it going to be?

 

[Shortie]

What kind of computer is it going to be?

I am hoping for a laptop so that I have more freedom. I don't mind having a desktop but it lacks me having the freedom and with me working from home, it would be nice to have the freedom to be in a different room in the house or even be out in the garden in the shade on a nice day.

I hope everyone is having an amazing week so far! The heat is shocking at the moment in the UK, first heatwave of the year, and this one seems to be lasting longer than we would normally see so just trying to keep cool at this point.
