Daily Chit Chat with a Friend
Just a nice Chit Chat with a friend is all that is needed.
So... How was your day today?
@IsayUncle I'm glad you're ok and you are having a good day. We rearranged our bedroom and signed up for fubo so Justin could watch football. I cancelled all our other tv streaming besides Amazon to offset the expense. I don't feel very well so I'm just watching tv too right now. I am going to try to get caught up on cleaning though later.
@Psalm139
Are resting up good, I hope so. I'm about to taclkle my fridge. Which means lots of food preperation for food preservation and salad making.
@IsayUncle What kind of veggies do you like in your salads? Do you add walnuts or almonds for healthy fat? What do you use for dressing?
I don't eat salads because I haven't found a way I like it. Sometimes I will buy the steam fresh broccoli florets though and eat a whole bag at a time though. Or air fry zucchini and squash. Both are yummy, healthy, and low calorie. Carrots and hummus is really good too.
@Psalm139
I'll be exploring a lot of new variations of salads and vegetable dishes when I go into full health mode ( i think you'll ptobably come in real handy then) hehe, but right now, just the basics. Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Carrots, Peppers, Onions, Radishes, Cuc's, Broccoli, Cauliflower and that's about it. When I buy that amount of veggies I like to juice some too.. when time allows. I also use all dressings, store bought and home made.
BTW, with my evolving routine I've automatically stopped stress eating by 60% i think.
@IsayUncle. That sounds like a great variety of veggies to start with! And that's awesome that your stress eating has reduced so much! That alone should help a ton with your weight goals!π
@Psalm139
How much does fubo cost? I've never ept up with sports much except for a few years when I worked a factory and we would bet on football games, umongst ourselves.... that was a lot of fun. i really only like football and now with the kids I might try to keep up with it a little more. What did you get rid of, Netflix? Discovery?
I'm sorry you're not feeling too good, Big day yesterday... wear you out? What's up, just tired or frustrated at something?
@IsayUncle Fubo is about $85 a month after taxes and local sports fees for the cheapest option. We cancelled Netflix, Hulu + Disney, HBO max, and a channel I had on prime which added up to over $40. So we are still paying more but cancelling those will offset the cost and Justin is very happy lol. The Bears are on tonight.
I have a sore throat today and feel tired but also I forgot my medicine last night and I am kind of down too because I think I'm DONE done talking to my listener. All he does is talk about his taco Tuesdays and going out to dinner or games or for motorcycle rides and he asks how I am. But anytime anything is wrong he just says I need therapy. But that isn't really helpful and it's almost depressing talking to someone that seems to have no problems ever. Idk. I know he isn't really perfect because I found out about something in his past not long after we started talking that is a pretty big deal. Maybe he overcompensates trying to look perfect because he knows I know about it. Idk. But I told him I don't think we relate well a couple days ago and he didn't say anything back. If I thought it could be like it was at first I would try but it's literally the same thing over and over and I'm over it. But I'm sad because I do/did care about him and like talking to him for quite a while. I think I do better when I don't have time to think.
@Psalm139
Awww, I'm sorry. sometimes things aren't so bad the next day. I told you that I had a past that was different than now. That was one of my biggest faults ever! I used to talk about all the positive things I was doing and thought that alone would help people be positive. All it really did was put me in the light of an egotist. And people disliked me for years building on years but I was detemined to insist. I was so naive and blind to the truth until it ws unleashed on me a couple years ago. That's when I came to 7Cups and I think I've found a better path. At least I'm trying and people like you help me a lot. I am thankful.π
Maybe your listener is doing something similar... always talking about himself trying to boost you up but being naive and blind to the reality?? Just saying, i don't Know?
I hope your sore throat does not worsen into a full blown cold.
The TV thing seems awfully drastic, but if it works, SUPER! Is it for a whole year or just a few month's. What do you watch on YouTube? I signed up for the premium membership for 12.95 a month. (NO premium TV though) Ilike youtube a lot.
@IsayUncle I think he just is trying to make conversation because I basically stopped initiating anything with him because I know he will just tell me to go to therapy or tell me what predictable fun things he's doing that day or week. He actually reminds me a lot of my brother. Except that my brother doesn't have a criminal past that he acts like never happened. Lol. Oh well. He was really nice at first. He helped me to get away from that other listener that wasn't good for me that I had become so attached to. But yeah I relate to people that can be real and admit they struggle with things. Otherwise the conversation just feels so empty and pointless and fake.
@Psalm139
I think we all could benefit from good helpful therapy but don't need people telling us we need to go. We go when we need to go and only if we have someone we trust which is really hard to find. I'm really sorry you haven't hit on the right listener yet but it's a big ocean and there's a lot of fish in the sea so be patient and throw back the non-keepers. Waste no time or emotion on them and stay in the boat hopeful of a better person next time.
@IsayUncle That looks perfect! Sο»Ώorry it took a bit to respond. I didn't make the pizza last night so I made it tonight.
@Psalm139
Yum Yum your OK.
So ok then we'll get something like that set up. In a couple days OK? I am swamped in the Am and the PM... i didn't finish my fridge, working tomorrow afternoon, student tomorrow eevening and then the same thing on tuesday... aye yie yie, what did i do? It's all good.
Good nite M, I hope you felt better after resting some. π
@IsayUncle Ok that sounds good. Goodnight π
@Psalm139
Good Morning, I hope you are feeling a little better. I started that new thread already. I tagged you but not sure how that works so here is the link anyway. Wake up gentle this morning and enjoy your coffee.π. We can start talking on the new thread whenever you are ready. A crazy hectic day for me today, so you hang in there and enjoy the day or rest if you need to; whatever your body says. Go with the flow as they say. π. We'll talk more this evening.
@IsayUncle But for some people just leaving the house and chatting to people can feel like they have accomplished something.
@IsayUncle My sucked today.
@IsayUncle
no, how was your day today (Sunday October 23rd, 2022) IsayUncle?
My day was alright, been busy looking after mental health, physical health and making plans for the future and doing a few chores too.
