How have you been feeling these days?
I've been handling a nasty cold the last few days. I'm exhausted and feeling gross with all the hacking I've been doing.
How was your week overall?
It was really long and tiring. I got kind of upset when I realized I had gotten the anniversary date for my friend's death wrong, I was off by a day. So I lit her yahrzeit candle the evening before and said the Kaddish. I'm not very religious but I at least try to observe this tradition.
Which were the brightest moments in your week?
I didn't have a very bright moment this week. Its just been very tiring. I never like being sick or having to do lots of tasks while ill.
Which were not-so-bright moments?
Accidentally flipping the futon. Hurting my shoulder. Getting sick. Feeling dumb for getting that anniversary date wrong. Oh, I also can't get my old futon picked up by the city because I don't have a utility account number (mostly because the brunt of my utilities are included with my rent), so I'm going to throw out what remains of my old futon frame piece by piece.
What do you wish to achieve this weekend?
I would really like to write just over 5,000 words for Camp NaNo. Between feeling sick and just being tired, I haven't been able to get much done for it. If I do it I'll reach the proper word count for Day 16 and get over 25,000 words.

I am sorry you have been dealing with a strong cold these days. It must be very uncomfortable and exhausting. Also interferes with all the work and other things you wish to do. You might get anxious and even sad that your productivity drops, and maybe some tasks get undone altogether.
The missed date might be due to a certain state of confusion that all sicknesses cause. We do things feeling bad, putting in double effort, and this might be a result.
It is lovely that you lit a candle and said a traditional prayer to express your love and pay homage to your friend. Traditional practices like these carry a lot of emotional meaning, apart from their religious one.
How absurd that the city garbage collectors didn't pick up your old piece of furniture because you don't have a utility account number! Kafkian bureaucracy. Almost funny if not for all the trouble it brings.
I wish you that you feel well enough this weekend to reach your writing quota for the NaNoWriMo challenge.
And to feel better in itself.
Thank you for checking in!
All the best!

How have you been feeling these days? I have been feeling a bit better. Making an effort to not be so anxious. I've been a bit depressed and feel like giving up and let what happens happens.
How was your week overall? My week was just okay. I feel better but still its hard. Tired of being alone.
Which were the brightest moments in your week? Finding out my rash is just allergies and finding out what's going on. I feel better physically.

Which were not-so-bright moments? Having to beg my brother for help with paying rent. Not very much but still it helps. I hate not being self efficient enough to pay my own bills. I didn't know what else to do.
What do you wish to achieve this weekend? I want to get through the weekend without having a major anxiety attack or stressing out in a major way. Just one good weekend. Just give me one good weekend.
I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. It must be really tough for you. I can't exactly relate but it sounds very difficult. I hope you have a good weekend. 🤍

Thank you for checking in!
I am glad that you could feel a bit better after having been feeling a bit depressed.
I think that your attitude of "let what happens happens" is wise. You got a bit better, which is a significant accomplishment. This is the best you can right now.
"Right now" is the only that exists. And "the best you can is good enough".
So celebrate this accomplishment, enjoy feeling a bit better right now, and later we'll see how things develop.
Feeling physically better is a great place to start.
I imagine how frustrating must be not being able to pay all your bills. It's a matter of time. At some point, you will.
I wish you a good weekend!
All the best!

I’m here.
Yes I’m still the same as I was last time.
no it hasn’t gotten better.
yes I still want it all to end.
I hate you all
@Server8462
Hey!
You are very much welcome here!
We like you as you are!
Like the last time, this time, and like the next time.
I love that attitude.
Uncompromising realism.
Maybe with a pinch of dark humor.
You are a genuine, authentic person.
I deem authenticity as a higher value than happiness.
I would rather have a friend who is authentic than one that is happy.
I guess we would get along well if we were neighbors.
I wish you that you get better.
That you stay facing things as they come, with you amazing attitude.
That these things get better too, so you can relax a bit.
That you find some moments of peace.
Thank you for coming here.
See you soon!
Marcelo.
Sending strength and peace all the same. It is all that we have to offer ultimately. @Server8462
- I’ve been feeling kinda lost
- My week was alright I guess
- Nothing too much really.
- Getting flashbacks
- I’m honestly not sure
@kmcewen912
Thank you for checking in!
I am glad that your week was good.
I am sorry that you had flashbacks.
Flashbacks are awful.
I hope those were not very intense, nor long or very scary.
I wish you all the best!
See you soon!
Marcelo.
