How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Have had a case of the lonelies for awhile now. Wishing I had someone to share my days with, someone actually here in physical form. Getting outside and working in the yard takes up part of my day now and I'm thankful for that, but when I come inside it's hard to feel like I have meaning. Spent entirely too much money on stupid stuff I didn't need to buy and I think that was a result of my need to feel something. Round and round I go in this crazy life.
Me too on the loneliness and shopping. I don’t have a yard to work in, but I might be able to start a vegetable garden in the place I might move to.
 
Starting to struggle again with my thoughts about my previous relationship. I'd had a email from them recently which has really made me doubt whether I'm doing everything to reach out and make things right with them. But they are also making it impossible for me to do anything about it. It's like they have built a big wall out of steel and then mocking me for not trying hard enough to break though. Well if you really meant everything you say, you would find a way through. They didn't say that, but that's what it's like.

Hey, a vegetable patch sounds interesting. What would you grow?
Probably start out with some kitchen herbs to see if I have a knack for it. Many of my relatives are fanatical about gardening so I might have a genetic knack for it.

If I do, then I might try to grow some real tomatoes. The ones in the grocery don’t taste like anything. I recently had a pizza where the sauce blew me away, because it had the flavor of tomatoes, not just salt and oregano. I realized that I remember what real tomatoes taste and smell like. This was the first time since my childhood that I’ve experienced it, though.

Relieved. I had an awful moment earlier today when I had a wash on, and was about to cook my supper (two spuds in the microwave). I shut the microwave door and the clock went off. Then I looked around and the boiler light was off and the washing machine had stopped. Full of washing, mid cycle. I went into a panic spiral, not helped after I checked the other sockets and found they were all not working. The rest of the house seemed OK. I was trying to figure out a) how I'd get the washing out of the machine without flooding the kitchen if I could even get it open, b) how to move the fridge and freezer to the living room so the food wouldn't spoil and b) how I was going to wash etc without a boiler.... After some research I checked the consumer unit and found one of the breakers had flipped, so I reset it and managed to get the washing cycle finished. Then I plugged in the microwave and it was dead, completely dead. So it must have had a final fling and gone out with a bang after 25 years of faithful service. At least it solved the mystery, its final fling must have created a surge or something and triggered the breaker. After flirting with combination microwaves and even combi air fryers I settled on a dirt cheap budget option that will get me up and running and it will be delivered tomorrow 😂

Not doing so hot my aunt died and I got the news from my cousins facebook page and I lost my grandma last month found that out the same way I’m not close to my family any of them by any means but they are still my family and have been a part of my life in one way or another whether good or bad so I’ve been very anxious. I’ve been wanting to to stay close to my daughter but of course she’s nineteen and is holding down two jobs going to college and in professional orchestra so doesn’t have much time. I’m so worried I’m going to lose her or she is going to lose me I’m also worried I’m going to find out I lost someone I I am not sure I can handle. Losing more people no matter who they are if I know them I can’t lose them I know everybody goes I just can not handle it right now
I'm sorry for your losses @Bbear82. Your daughter sounds like a busy and smart young lady that still needs her mom. I hope that your anxiety lessens and life returns to normal. *console

I've had the longest headache of my life. It's quite weak, but it's been days that I've felt this heaviness in mostly my forehead with only short moments of relief.

I practically never have headaches, except some short and small ones due to hormones, so this is debilitating.
