1. How are you doing today?

I am ok, a little bit tired but that is normal. School is making me tired as well but it is going well, so that is good.

2. Whats the weather like where you live? What do you enjoy about that weather?

It could be worse, it is cold but not snowing or raining. But running to the car to keep warm will be necessary later. I cannot control the weather but I guess it is cold here so at least no wild fires and water for the trees.

3. What is one thing that can make you feel better, even if just a little bit on those days you find hard?

Candy, chocolate, music, being with someone. Normally the one thing though is a cuddle with blanket.

I'm tired and exhausted I am going to urgent care today.

The weather here is pretty cold. I live in northern USA which is cold. I love that I can wear sweats and long socks and blankets. Plus all the great holidays involved with the coldness.

Hi. Is there anyone that could sit with me? Having a hard time tonight. Thanks.

I'm doing alright the weather is in the 30's and cool, like a regular fall/autumn season weather. Tbh I don't like the fall/autumn weather I don't like the cold I prefer spring/summer. On hard days musoc, food, my boyfriend or watching my fave comedian feel somewhat better.

I've typed and deleted this about 9 times now. I'm triggered and I just want today to be over.

OK. Could be better, could be worse.

Weather has been warmer than average for fall hear. I like the warm weather so thats good news for me. Youre having really pretty fall colors right now. Last of beautiful trees and bushes.

Cuddle with the worlds softest stuffed shark. Ive also been trying origami lately. Made a cute puppy face using origami tonight. Turned out pretty good.

1. How are you doing today? this morning went well, but I got tired by afternoon and strufpggled to get out of bed due to sleep apnea

2. Whats the weather like where you live? What do you enjoy about that weather? it is cold, rainy and windy. I just want to stay inside write with hit cocoa

3. What is one thing that can make you feel better, even if just a little bit on those days you find hard.? writing, baths, playing with cats, baking

Hello fluffiest.ofUnicorns84! And your wonderful canines!! My SFO says hi too. Earlier this evening, he was all about talking - inside! - and I had to "shhhhh, can I help you? What do you need?" We miss you!!! <3 Platy

1. How are you doing today?

Today has been a rather strange day. I woke up earlier than usual. I went out to lunch with a friend which was really just great! (and the food was okay too - lol) I watched most of my favorite game show this afternoon. And I/we got one Trick-or-Treater!

2. Whats the weather like where you live? What do you enjoy about that weather?

The weather here today and this week is probably the nearest to "fall / autumn" weather we have had all season! This, the last week of October, our highs of the day are about 58 deg to 60 deg F, which is 6 - 8 deg F above average temps from the records. When the weather is like this, sometimes with 10-15 mph or gusts to 23 mph winds, or if it is pouring fall rain - sometimes I want to just get from inside to inside the car to inside the office .... you know mad dash for the door kind of thing. But other times, like today, we have a beautiful sunrise (someone told me LOL), we have a crisp cool morning, the temperature starts climbing so by about lunchtime you can almost go without a coat. Today's afternoon featured *SUN*!!!! The last few days or a whole week? has been very cloudy and drab outside; so having the sun out and watching my beautiful SFO sleep like a cat in the sun - awwwh - good things, indeed.

One last thing that I really like about days like today is that we can drag feet through the leaves on the sidewalk and kick them up in the air. I can pick up handfuls of leaves and lay them on my SFO's head (and then watch him try to get them all off, only to do it again). Dry, fallen leaves can be oh soooo much fun :)

@fluffyUnicorns84 wrote: "Its amazing how a walk can help me with dealing with whatever is going on." I would certainly agree with that. Although the weather does not permit a 10 or 15 or 20 minute walk and I might really want, even just standing out of our balcony for a few minutes. To breathe in the fresh air - "the outside air." Sometimes a change of scenery is helpful. Like walking up to the laundry room and checking if the machines are being used. Or even just stretching - my back and my neck mostly - that helps me to wake up, or feel more awake. And other times, I need to allow myself to just take a nap! Set an alarm for 25-30 minutes, know I will hear it, and just rest/sleep - just be in fully reclined position for even 20 minutes. Cat naps really do help - believe it or not!

Okay, this is much longer than I intended, but I haven't checked in for a while. So, @Trauma Family? Hi, here I am. :) Platy

The weather's so cold here that we got a letter from management telling us what to do to prevent the pipes from bursting
