How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

I FEEL AWESOME!!! I just quit my soul-sucking job in the company where I worked for 22 years in various call centres. In the last few years the job had grown especially bad due to micro-managing and time scrutiny. Even the high pay wasn't worth it.

Hope it works out for you and well done on telling them where to go. Wish I could quit mine but I've got 14 years to go before I can even think about it, barring a lottery win. Looks like I am not cut out for a career shift either 🤐

I am a bit bleary eyed. Woke up at 9am so better than my usual early wake ups but still early. Message left at 7am from garden guy saying to take photos of garden AND leave gate open and put alley gate key in key safe outside. WHICH? said my brain. So I dashed out and took photos and also carried out the other instructions. It's usually "there's a month long wait as we're so busy". Maybe less people are paying for gardening with the cost of living thing. What to do, pay £300 for someone to clear it all or get on your knees and do it yourself? Personally I'd rather pay, when I went out it was worse than I thought, fence has fallen in and there are at least 4 weeds on the way to becoming huge trees.... amazing how they take hold if you leave them to it, but another tree in my garden I don't need after the last one grew to scary proportions..... Hope they come soon before the weeds and trees take over!!!!!

Note to self - another benefiting of downsizing is getting rid of a garden I don't want, when the time comes. A yard will do. A door backing on to a road will do!

Ouch, half my reserve money is going on garden which garden guy said is terrible. I figured it was. Still, better to get it done! Only once a year. Remind me not to buy a house with an effing garden again 😆 Gets bloody overrun with trees every summer 😲

Yeah I am not ready to retire but will be taking a college program and getting a new job. I hope it works out and I never have to work in a call centre again.

4 hour dental appointment today but I’m still in a good mood so it wasn’t too bad. I’m a sucker for punishment so I’m going back tomorrow for a filling. I have today and tomorrow off so I figured get it all done. I could get used to not working but I have 4 years to go before retirement. Hopefully I have beaten the spiral downward of emotions and on the upside.

I think honestly at this point I'm so tired that I can't be tired anymore lol

I don't feel like I deserve how well things seem to have worked out for not based on everything I've been through. I think I should be a lot worse off somehow.

you have worked hard to get this far so you definitely deserve any joy and great career you should have.

I wish I could be of help here or anywhere. If I like your post it also means a hug.. or I can try to understand.

I'm feeling rather useless as I can't help my younger son the way he wants it, but I've done so much that if I keep helping he wont get on his feet.

there usually comes a time when you have to make them stand on their own 2 feet. it hurts us to watch them suffer but if we help them all our life they will never learn to function as an adult later

Often letting go of your cares for a bit can be a big help. Not letting things get to you and taking time and rest has always been a boon for myself.

Just do what and how you are able. I agree with @AvidFan that often a person can be lifted just by a Like in knowing that others are reading, paying attention and taking the time to send that signal that they are noticed. Many may feel invisible and this can be a way to let them know that no, not invisible with us here.

That is great advice Thanks for all the support KM76710, I wish you peace, happiness, and nothing but the best.

Coward, wimp, milquetoast. Plus I have a whole swarm of feelings but they are all vying to be the first to get my attention. So there's not an orderly queue I can cooly assess.
