People are ***. Realizing your old/friends are fake is heartbreaking. But sometimes you have to throw away the bad to make room for the new ☺️. Glad you’re doing better with getting back out there. I know it’s scary and difficult but you’re doing it! ☺️
Im actually going Christmas tree shopping this weekend! I’m super excited. I also want to get more decorations to decorate the house a bit more. It’s hard with 5 dogs that like to investigate everything but I’m hoping if I put decor high enough, they won’t reach it. I also really want to see our downtown Christmas tree or go ice skating. I’m wayy more into this time of year vs Thanksgiving.
My day was actually pretty nice. Work was easy. And traffic wasn’t too bad. I was a little sad this evening, but journaling definitely helped.
I keep forgetting to ask: what time zone/state are you in?
ok firstly i’m in pa 🙂 your day sounded amazing and it seemed super positive. i’m sorry you were feeling a bit sad there…wanna talk about it? i don’t mind listening…maybe i can help 🙂
yea dude fugggg the old friends that wanna be like that. tbh if they embraced me i would prob see who they’ve become and just not be into that kinda vibe. i’m very happy with the way things are now bc although they aren’t great great. the future is sooo bright. i just gotta lock in work hard and be me 😁
xmas tree shopping is so much fun. there’s multiple lots around here selling trees but there’s also places you can go to if you and your family wanna cut it out the ground yourself.
i have a fake tree lol my dog kept licking up the tree water so i had to bail on the real tree.
i am nervous how the kittens are gonna be with this tree. they get into everything. they climb everything. there’s no way i don’t come home from work and it’s on the ground hahaha that’s gonna be every day
idk fingers crossed it’s not the case and they are super chill guy kittens 😹😹
Nice. I’m in IN. Nothing too drastic. It gets dark here so early so I get seasonal depression. And I was sad over being a terrible plant mom recently. I normally take good care of my plants/garden but lately I’ve been neglecting them. I hope I can get motivated to actually nurture them again. Gardening is one of my hobbies so I need to get back into it. I’m sure it’ll make me happy doing so ☺️.
Have you lived in PA all your life? I’ve always lived in IN but I moved more south early this year. I really want to travel more, first around the US, then outside the country. So far I’ve been to 10 states. Not a bunch but it’s a start ☺️.
yeah i’m a pa lifer lol i’ve moved a bunch of times but always somewhere outside of philly lol i had friends that went to college at indiana university of pennsylvania lol i always thought that was an odd name 😂
omg i know exactly what you mean about the plants. so it got really cold here and we had some light rain/snow and my beautiful big tropical foliages look so wilted over and weak and near death. idk what to do bc i can’t bring them all in the house bc of the kittens. i might have to put them in the garage. it’s a huge bummer. i’m trying to tell myself it’s ok bc i can buy new ones again in the spring. but part of me feels like i failed. does that make sense??
That is so cool! I haven’t found a tree cutting farm but there are a lot of the tree farms here. If there aren’t any real ones I like, I’ll be fine with a fake one. Atleast it’s reusable every year. The only true problem is storing it!
Lol that sounds like something my dogs would do. They always act like they’re dying of thirst so they’d definitely think it was a fancy new water bowl lol.
Hopefully the kittens are cool with the tree. Probably don’t want to hang the ornaments too low though lol.
good point! i didn’t think about ornaments and decorations like that. i just thought these little monsters are def gonna try to climb the tree and knock it over every day haha
but we’ll see…maybe it’s not even a problem 🙏😁
either way no matter what i am not going to let myself get angry or upset by anything that happens. i am gonna let myself laugh at whatever happensl. besides these two are so cute you rly can’t be mad at anything after seeing them
I’m going to get some sleep 💤. I hope you have a good night! 😴
i totally passed out outta nowhere 🤣 have a great night. sleep tight homie lol i hope all of your dreams come true tonight dude 🙏😁 lol
i just got woken up by my kitten farley but i’m not mad at all bc he doesn’t let anyone touch him but he is allll over me haha def worse ways to wake up hahaha fr tho im going back to bed i got 3 hrs still lol have a great morning. hmu if ur not too busy today
✌️🙂
Happy Fri-yay!!! I’ll respond to your messages a bit later. I hope you have a great day ☺️.
heyyy! happy friyay to you as well haha i’m at work. on my lunch break croissant donuts and strawberry milk 🤣 yeah i def need to work on my diet. how was your week? any plans for the weekend? i’m working all weekend but gotta find time to finally decorate
I can totally understand feeling like you’ve failed at plants. But gardening/planting is trail and error. Some plants are finicky than others. Some require special temperatures. Some require spackle soil. Some just simply don’t like your house lol. It’s all trail and error. I think even if a plant dies or withers, it shows you tried.
That’s a good outlook to have ☺️. Remembering it’s just an item; what matters most are the memories created and time spent with the kittens. Plus it helps to remember that they’re just extremely curious; they’re not doing it on purpose and hopefully they’ll learn to not mess with the tree/ornaments as they grow.
Tip: tropical trees don’t like the cold. try moving them to the garage. they’ll do even better with a heating mat and grow light (you can get them on Amazon - watch your electric bill though!) they’ll also benefit from letting the soil dry out a little between watering; you don’t want the soil too damp, especially since it’s colder and will take them more time to absorb the water
How was your day? How are you feeling today? I was actually in a good, happy mood all today ☺️. It’s been awhile since I’ve felt this happy. I’m just really hoping it’s not a manic high that will be followed by a very depressing manic low. I’m almost trying not to be too happy, as if that will make the moment last longer, if that makes sense. I just am afraid of regressing and losing all the progress I’ve made.
Doing a Sam’s club run and dinner on Sunday. Other than that, gotta do chores and hopefully finish decorating. I’m pretty excited to “go out”; haven’t been anywhere in awhile. And definitely finish decorating/cleaning my room; it looks like a tornado came through a few times lol 😓.
I have to be up really early so I’m gonna go to bed. I hope you have a good evening/night 💤😴.
heyyyy. i just got outta work and im walking home. thank you so much for the tips and support with the plants and everything. that’s a big help.
ok so i tooooootally get what you’re saying about wording the good is manic and it will turn. i experience that A LOT. so you’re not wrong or crazy for thinking it. personally (and idk everything lol) i think you’re feeling good bc you’re genuinely doing good. you’re actively changing your life for the better. so i think this good feeling is totally valid and not apart of a manic episode. but things won’t always always be good ya know. you’re def gonna have bummer moments and backslides. but i think you’re smart enough to know that and i think you’re strong enough do the right thing for you.
jsyk your progress is also helping me bc it gives me motivation
Good afternoon! I hope you’re having a good day ☺️. I’ll respond to your messages later on today.
same…i’m omw to work now. hope ur saturday is fun
You’re right-not everything can be happy all the time. I’ll try to remember not every sad moment or day is a manic episode.
Glad I can be motivating ☺️. I feel like I just vent all the time lol.
Do you have any Christmas traditions you do?
