This space was created to get away from crowded threads in hopes of more in-depth conversations between Psalm139 and IsayUncle. Please do not join the conversation unless you are invited. Thank You in advance for understanding and complying. Have a beautiful day!
@Psalm139 @IsayUncle
@IsayUncle Good morning! I'm happy to hear that you were able to sleep in! Have a good day!💙
@Psalm139
How's your day going? I just got home and now have tractor maintenance to do and print pictures and diagrams for the inspector on monday.
I haven't had time to shop for vegetables this week so I dread what my diet will consist of and how it will make me feel.
You all must be getting ready for trick or treat. I hope you are having a FUN day with all of that.
@IsayUncle My day has been ok. I got groceries and put them away. Now I'm taking a break. Then a little cleaning and will get ready for trick or treating. It is not something I like myself but I do like making the kids happy, so that makes it worth it. Are you going to take some time to rest tomorrow? It seems like you are constantly busy. Do you think maybe you could find time to go to the store for your veggies? You've been doing so well with that.
@Psalm139
I forget how social interaction takes the fun out of everything. sorry about that. 😟
I am in several situations of constant obligations trying to find routine. every fire seems to have 3 or 4 pre-fires to put out first. LOL.
I didn't do anything all afternoon now I must try real hard to catch up for tomorrow.
@IsayUncle Good (late) morning. I woke up early and went back to bed and slept super late. I haven't accomplished anything yet today but hope to get going in the next hour or so. I imagine you might be doing outside work now? How are you feeling today?
@Psalm139
Hey, good afternoon. That's sounds soooo good to sleep in super late. I hope yu're feeling good. I just did come inside. I'v been working on and servicing my tractor. I finished it and my partner came and picked it up for tomorrows job. I'm glad to get it serviced. I've neglected it this year and it felt really good changing all the fluids and filters, doing the belts getting her greased up and washed down. I had worked her hard and put her away dirty and ungreased many times this past year.
She's ready to go again.....!
I don't know how I'm feeling, I turned something off in my brain so I can keep going. I guess I have a sense of dread something is going to give way and I don't know what that might be so I'm doing all I can so if something blows up in my face.... I can say, "I did the best I could!"
I'm running in 2 hour segments. LOL. on the goals thread. Wish me luck and determination. I'm wishing you a relaxing and peaceful day!
@IsayUncle Sorry you are having that feeling. How do you shut off your brain? I get that too and I hate it. Does working outside help? Being outside seems to balance me a little.
@Psalm139
The turning off of the brain is more of what happened than what i did. Something got turned off so I didn't worry about what i couldn't do. Perhaps a combination of exhaustion and perseverance. i'm not really sure.
I'm outside so much and i love it but it doesn't help with the tasks. A drudgery indoors is the same as a drudgery outdoors for me. But I could see how much better outdoors is for people that are inside all the time. Being outdoors is amazing.
@IsayUncle If you are exhausted you should rest. You have a long week and you are so busy during the week. You already got so much done. Do you think you have a pattern of over working yourself and then crashing? I know you want to be productive and it is awesome that you are working so hard, but please take care of yourself too💙
@Psalm139
Thanks. I don't know any other way to do things at the moment. Everything is a brand new obligation so all the juggling and balanceing may include some crahing and burning from time to time. 😟 But gotta keep at it. Thanks for your concern.... That was nice and Very Sweet.
One big help next week is I will have a bus moniter on my bus. I met her Friday, she's a big ole woman and as stern as the old heffer she is! lol. That'll de-stress me a lot so that's good.
@IsayUncle I'm happy you are getting a bus monitor. She sounds perfect for that type of job. Do you get to keep her or will it be temporary?
I understand what you mean by it being the only way to do things. All you can do is the best you can. I'm sure you will be fine. Sorry if I seem bossy sometimes. I don't mean to be. I just want you to be ok.
@Psalm139
I don't know about the bus aide's position. And you didn't seem bossy or intrusive, just concerned and that was nice. I think Bossy comes with being a good mama, so that'll only be natural anyway. lol.
@Psalm139
WOW, It's already end of day.
How did your day end up turning out? Did you have a good day?
@IsayUncle It was a good day. Not a particularly productive one, but I got a few things done. I'm sure you're in bed now, so have a good day tomorrow💙
@Psalm139
Good Morning, I guess we're both back to schooling. I hope you're day starts off good and drifts to the better side of things. In other words, have a great day!
For me.... another list of windmills to tilt at. LOL
@IsayUncle You have a great day too! Busy, busy, busy with work and then your student night I think. Right?
I hope you had a good day.
@IsayUncle I hope you're ok.
@Psalm139
Good Morning, All's good. Went non-stop from 3am - 8pm. Whewww, another day like it today except earlier ending (no student project.) What're U doing today?? 😊
@Psalm139
oh oh spaghetti-O where did M go?
@IsayUncle You said you'd be busy today so I didn't want to bother you.
Good Morning, I'm seldom too busy to post a chit chat with you. You didn't tell me what you did yesterday..... Or if you might try that one month challenge. That challenge would be a pretty good one for you too because you don't have to talk daily on it, Just answer the questioneer and then in one month, post a picture or submit the montly plan completed. (And you get a badge). Another busy day for me. But I hope you don't use that not to take a minute to share your day. Everything is part of the busy... Like everything is part of thr gloomy doomy. 😉 What are you doing today?
@IsayUncle Good morning. I don't have anything going on except school today. Friday morning I have a swallow study at the hospital. I don't think I'll do that challenge. I'm not very good at sticking with my goals. Everyone else seems so motivated. I just thought it looked like something you would like but idk.
@Psalm139
Hey, Not everyone is motivated but I know it seems that way sometimes. You sound like you're down in the dumps. I know this is your busy time with family stuff but if you get a chance, is there anything you'd like to talk about?
@IsayUncle Yeah I guess at first I was mad at you for barely talking to me on Monday but then I just realized its like this with everyone. So obviously it's my fault. But I just can't get out of my head and so idk. Sorry.
@Psalm139
Oh M... M... M... You have no big enough flaws to make me NOT want to talk to you. I think you are judging yourself very badly and twisting other people's lack of time as an insult or slight against you.
Wouldn't it be nice to talk and chat with someone openly with reckless abandon with no judgement or expectations. Sometimes BEST FRIENDS do not talk to each other for weeks or month's at a time. BUT when they do, they are so happy to hear all about the other persons successses and so sad about thier hardhips. They know they don't have time to be mad at each other over things they have no control over.
I know you struggle very hard with this social dynamic so if you want, let's keep working on it. In the meantime..... What's Happening, Anything Good?
I'm off to work so have a Good Morning! and of course.... a nice day 😊
@IsayUncle I'm not sure what to say but I don't want to say nothing. Thank you for your message and I hope you have a good day. I just have a lot my head and my anxiety is bad right now and so I will talk to you later.
@IsayUncle I'm sorry. I will feel better and have better things to say eventually. And what you said was right. It does feel like when people are too busy that I'm not important. And really expecting you to think I'm important when this is just an online message board friendship is dumb anyway. I'm just ridiculous like my brother says. Nothing I think makes sense.
@Psalm139
You really are in the dumps. 😟 I am so sorry but I think A friend is a friend is a friend and I'm a friend which makes you very important to me. There have been many amazing friendships via snail mail years ago. Pen Pals were all the rage back then, way before computers, emails, blogs and all this junk.
SO THIS IS NOT DUMB and you are not ridiculous!
Remember. I'm the eternal optimist and I have lost a lot of friends because of that. I hope I don't lose you too. I'm right here so you can share anything you want. We've been friends for a while now and don't you remember how much you helped out? Feeling bad about ourselves makes us forget good things but that doesn't mean they're not there! Be easy on yourself sweetie. 💚
@ Psalm139
I finally get to see a few days with no jobs... OMG, that was a tough run for the past couple of weeks. I just got my afternoon run to do today and then I'm free of jobs. I told my partner not to schedule anything for next week. I got so much personal crap to catch up on.
I think I'm a very boring friend and I'm sorry about that.
How are you feeling and what are you doing?
@IsayUncle I'm ok. Just waiting for that appointment at 10:30. I guess I have to swallow something while they take stays to see if that part works right. It shouldn't take very long but I can't eat or drink (no coffee) until its over.
I'm happy you will have a break from your jobs. Justin is working a lot too right now and it doesn't leave time for much of anything else.
We got a second storage unit and we are trying to organize all our stuff so we can clean out the basement so we can get some projects done. All I have in storage is kids' stuff, clothes, toys, blankets, books. Very little is actually mine. So it's hard to declutter. Justin has a lot of jars, insulators, tools, and random things he planned to sell.
Anyway, sorry for how I've been. I thought of you last night and read your message but I couldn't think of anything good to say. Maybe today will be better.
@Psalm139
I'm Ok with how've you been. I wish i could do more but i also know it's a process and you need the time to process it.
It's good to hear from you this morning and I hope thr drs. appt goes well and everything works right, or they find a simple solution to your swallowing problem. (and then msybe your daughters too)
It is hard to declutter but it's handy to have storage units so good luck with the reorganizing. Did justin change jobs/position or is he just getting more hours?
@Psalm139
Home sweet home... ahhhh. it feels so good not be on someone else's agenda. Did you get a big 'ole mug of coffee after your Dr's appt.? How'd the rest of your day go?
@IsayUncle I did! And the appointment and day was ok. I felt better today but was very scatterbrained. I couldn't take my medication until late either. Sorry I didn't get back earlier. Thank you for still being here 💙
@Psalm139
Good Morning, Happy Saturday!
Thank you staying here too. 💚. It's a 15 minute challenge kind of day for me today. i'm also pretty scatterbrained and sometimes that's the best I can do... 15 minutes goals, even if they take hours+.
My big objective is to factory reset my phone to make enogh storage space on it so I can download an app that will give my cell phone WiFi access so I can use my cell phone from my house. This is a pretty big deal so I can stay in touch with the students parents better AND so I can gocery shop via the internet and communicate with krogers. They have a dropoff point in town that they deliver grocery orders to every day.
I can't wait to get the krogers thing going so I can order my menus for the the week. I still got your meal plan too. Looking forward to using it. https://www.drmcdougall.com/.
@IsayUncle Are you sure you need an app? There should be a way to add your WiFi on your phone already. My phone storage is full too. What service do you have? I use mint mobile which does drop calls sometimes but works well enough for me and is much cheaper than other plans. I get data with it too though I use WiFi at home.
I hope you get the Kroger thing worked out - you are far away from everything, right?
@IsayUncle
I need to download something because I've tried it a couple times and it went into"not enough space" notifications. Plus it tells me every day my device storage is used up and some functions on my phone may not work properly. I should just get a new phone but I am very curious to see if I can restore this phone into working order. I've had AT+T prepaid for about 3 years now and it still cost me only $300.00 a year with 8GB of rollover data a month. The carrier doesn't matter where I'm at because I'm in a valley and most do not get service here anyway.
I don't have important stuff on my phone so it's ok for me to try to wipe it clean. I might go through some text messeges and try to save some pictures people have sent me. I download and store all my other picture on my computer so there are none of those on there. Other than that and my contacts, I'm good to go.
I'm talking your head off.... what do you have going on today?
@Psalm139
I know I have extremely boring dialog so thank you for giving me your ear all the time. It helps me so much. I wish I could help you as much. BUT anyway, I finished my stupid phone log. YAY 😃
@IsayUncle You aren't boring any more than I am! Just day to day stuff and mental health stuff and whatever is going on. I'm happy I have you to talk to and that I can be her for you if you need me to vent or talk through anything you need to. It's hard when we are both struggling together but it helps me to know that I'm not the only one that gets overwhelmed with life sometimes.
@IsayUncle Its raining today but I have to buy groceries. So that will be fun, lol. I also started sorting the junk drawer in the middle of the living room so I have to clean that up. And when I get groceries I have donations to drop off. I need to clean too because this week was really a blur and I am behind, especially in the kitchen.
What are your plans after the phone stuff?
@Psalm139
Do you like the rain sometimes? When I'm motivated and being an eager beaver, not so much. but when I feel lost and scatterbrained, like you say, it seems to have a soothing effect. even if I have to run errands (Not torrential downpours though lol). Today would be a good rain day for me.... in a soft fog and forward moving kind of way.
You have a good day of organizing planned, i hope you get t all done. My phone is my only priority but general clean up and paperwork are on the table too. I forgot to ask again, did Justin change jobs or is he just working more hours?
@Psalm139
You're probably at the grocery store now so i hope your day is going good. I just now finished getting my phone reset to factory default freeing up the space i needed... it was a real pain in the butt.
I learned the newer phones have a setting to turn the wifi calling on & off but my phone is too old for that. BUt i'm pretty sure I can download "google voice" and then be able to use my cell phone over the internet.... I'm going to watch a few more youtube videos first before doing it.... and relax my brain a little bit by doing some dishes while wartching TV.
@IsayUncle Before I forget, Justin is just working more hours. He talks about getting a new job but hasn't yet. I do like the rain but not so much if I have to be out in it. And today it was super cold and windy too.
That makes sense that your phone doesn't have that capability if its an older one. Justin wanted me to get an iPhone like his but I don't want another payment. My phone is two years old and works decent. The camera on his is much better though.
What are you watching on tv? I'm watching "A million little things". Its pretty good.
@Psalm139
A Milliion Little Things looks like a lot of moving parts (I looked it up). Enola Holmes is a bit adolescent but that is what i was watching. Light hearted and easy to follow. 😊
@Psalm139
U doing OK? I'm having a real *** morning with my phone making my entire morning bad. I think I got everything fixed but ill try to download google voice
@IsayUncle I'm ok. I'm sorry about your phone. What was wrong with it? What are you needing to do?
@Psalm139
I have so much to do, I do not know where to start. Yesterday I spent most of the day rebooting my cell phone to factory default and it was working good untill AT+T tried downloading a bunch of app updates and now it keeps freezing up before finishing the updates. It is so discouraging. It is so discouraging that I don't know what to do and I can't focus. I thought I had this problem solved but now maybe I have to waste the day researcing new phones and going to buy one. I just don't know. It keeps optimizing from 7 or 8 or 9 of 10 apps but never gets to ten and finishing before freezing up. I keep trying by turning off, removing battery and restarting.
It's messing with my head and I really don't feel like screwing with this today!
15
min challenges:
340am-355am: Clean kitchen
400am-500am: Morning tasks (4) 15 minute intervals
I did not do any of my 15 minute challenges because I couldn't get my brain off of my phone problem! I THINK I GOT IT RESOLVED. But the aggravation is still brewing in my head and body!
6:15am - 6:35am: Install google voice onto my phone.
