Hi there. TGIAF Thank goodness it 's Almost Friday smiley actually in many parts of the world it is Friday!

I think we get a feeling of higher self-esteem from completing projects and may feel better than binging on a bag of oreos or a half gallon of ice cream.

What kinds of doable projects do you plan for this weekend and how much are you motivated to complete them?

I have the gym planned for the morning, so everything else for that just depends on what I can manage. I really would like to get out into my garden and get some more things planted - I really don't have much yet and the forecast suggests that now isn't too early for the things that are a bit frost tolerant. I also want to get some specific seed potatoes. I know of a greenhouse outside the city that has them listed, but it is a bit of a drive.

@bgdave mother's day is difficult here as well. We were never close. I was the only child. She passed in 2012, no change in circumstances at the end. So many holidays are not joyous for me. Just another day. When I am really into doing something positive, I plant a tree, or flowers or other happy crap.

@bgdave I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Mother's day must be a reminder of your grief. Hope you find a way to commemorate her life and do something nice for yourself.

Hi everyone!

Hey, I am motivated to put the oreos in my ice cream, and do just enough to float my boat until next weekend!

I managed to find another temp job. This one is 40 hrs on my feet per week. The last one was 30. Two weeks now of 40 hrs and I am TIRED. ( and achy) It is easy work not far from home. (Good news for possible long term work)

The only peer I have there is an active drug addict. The 30 hr/ week job also had people smoking weed on breaks. I am used to working alone. I am facing the real world as a grandma with no job skills. I need to check in here and get some sunshine on the weekends. Did some breathing, and tried to cleanse my aura this morning. I am newly out of the worst depression in 25 yrs, and it feels heavy to be around negativity.

I appreciate 7 cups, and believe that I was lead here. Thanks for reading my share and being here for all of us.

@soulsings
Hey all Im going to try to stop thinking about something that happened a few days back.

So I want to watch comedies clean house and pray that person gets thru whatefcer they need to so she can be civil to me

I have worked on my emotions and am a happier fun person. This person accused me of being negative because A YEAR AGO I divulged to her some issues I was having with someone and instead of understanding my problen shenow feels I am a very negative and angry person. I told her id I said or did anything to you I am sorry she siad she has stuff going on at home and doesnt need to deal woth that nere. but truth be told I told her she was putting a lot of negative energy being the angry one so just be civil to each other and left it at that

I had to put it out there and get your opinion on this
