Stayed in bed the whole weekend except to drive to McDonald's to get breakfast and get a sub at the sub shop. Luckily, my children entertained my nieces little dog. I know it's not healthy to do that but if I don't have plans which is a lot of the time now that I'm older that's my default. It's depressing. But part of me accepts it. My fiance called me 2x and I didn't even want to talk to him. But I did answer on the third and told him I just wasn't up to talking.

They admitted my niece but now she's saying that she doesn't want to stay. I told her to let the professionals do their jobs. Some people are never satisfied. She just wants to stay long enough to get some meds and leave. All I can do at this point is be here for her and watch her dog.
No-thing wrong w/a little "R & R," @Lane - (if that stands for 'rest & recovery!') ;) -& hopefully, you can find some people to share your time with, as I'm sure they'd enjoy your company. I know it is not easy, nor do I know how to best go about achieving this goal? Joining a club? Putting an ad in the paper (dating my self here...) etc~. Glad your kids stepped up & took the initiative to help out w/the dog. Sorry to hear about the fiance, but you've got to do what's best for you and in your best interest sometimes - & not always his. Hopefully, he can see that/this & accept it (for what it is)--or at least, "respect it" & your wishes. With gratitute (sincere) & grace. Possibly not! ...but that's what we always hope! :) Good and noble efforts w/your neice. You're right, in that being there as a beacon of support & showing her that you've got her back and are there for her, will encourage and cheer for her. All of these things are valuable, and helpful in so many ways that she may not even notice now, fully or completely. But maybe one day. . . You do only have so much control in the situation. And ultimately it is unfortunately up to her to be held accountable as an adult (ableit a vulnerable one at the moment), and therefore responsible for her own actions. Will drive ourselves crazy otherwise with the, "what if's" & "why not's" & so on~ // onward & upward(s), I say! : )

Thank you for all the comforting words, especially about my niece being an adult bcz to me she's still a kid, but she's really not, she's a grown woman, a pediatric nurse in fact. Your words helped a lot @MisterBGone.

Tired and dispirited. I had been doing so well and had worked hard to build a financial cushion. Now so many bills have come in alongside the tax bill and other accounting costs that I almost seem back to square one. I'm not broke, but I no longer have anywhere near as much of a sense of safety. Tomorrow I will start building again but now I must sleep. At least I have no commute for 4 days now, I plan to put in as much work as possible on my remote job. However boring/challenging/frustrating it gets, however much I'd rather just watch TV or read or something.

Oh and I've got my routine dental torment tomorrow, there's another £100 spat down the drain after they choke and torment me with their hygiene "treatment" 😱

This b*tch classmate is 13 years older than me and has told a guy that likes me that "my makeup and outfits all similar that of a prost*tute and my teeth are so yellow, men shouldnt try to kiss me"
Pretty sure she is pressed that the guy likes me instead of her but what makes a fucking 37 year old woman SO mean in a class of younger people.
Immaturity, and definitely jealousy. That's a shame, that someone her age doesn't know better.

It felt good to take a walk at lunch, the weather was nice and leaves pretty colors on trees still. I saw this fuzzy little bee getting some nectar. View attachment 63527
I've always found it nice to notice little beautiful things like that when I'm outside. I like to look at the animals and the sky a lot. There is a family of groundhogs that live under my shed, probably 3 siblings because they all grew up together. I remember when they were smaller, they used to wrestle each other. Then one time I saw like 50 birds all feeding in my yard at once, probably catching bugs or searching for berries in the ground. And stray cats, they like to sniff around the holes the groundhogs made, and jump incredibly high heights from rooftops, shed to shed. And the sky, I always like to look for planets, and the North Star, and moon. It's also cool to watch when the sun rises and sets, how it changes color.

I really feel this. We've had a ton of expenses and bills in the past 13 months- including home repairs, loan to a family member, and a government bill for 2K for an "overpayment" my husband received during early COVID. Also a whopping 40% tax deduction from a part of my pension plan (I will be able to claim much of it back on taxes but of course won't get it back for many months).

I applaud you for being self-motivated as it's sure not easy.

Good luck at the dentist - prevention really is worth it.

I agree with you about nature and the outdoors, it is always great and quite relaxing to watch the wildlife and plant life to be seen. Taking the time to relax and enjoy nature beauty. :)

I can visualize all you wrote and it sounds so nice @Aurelia.
