There: 2019

Still sitting with you, there. :) Glad you've been able to make small changes, bravo for you!

Oh, dancingfish, so good to see your name tonight.
Ok, so... I’m watching an epic movie in German with English subtitles. An escape from brutal Siberian work camp. And I think my life is tough!?
Subtitles! This is a priceless translation: “ clam down!”

New phone, tomorrow switching to more economical service.
Ended it in a with voc-rehab counselor in a polite voicemail. She was the 2nd 1 who wasn’t nice. Decided that I my children’s book project comes first. I’d have to postpone it to fulfill their plan. Getting other work or writing a business plan I can address later. Sigh. Phew.

I run into the constraints again and again. I have to let it go.

Releasing some self-doubt right now.
Sleep.

Glad you took a proactive step towards taking care of you. Yay on making your own goals and taking steps towards them. It's hard living others expectations. Especially when they aren't really aligned with your own wants or needs

Hi, coconuts
Really good to read your encouraging words tonight.
Still in process of switching cell service.
November is a grey month here. Today is no exception.
Debating going to nearby church service.

[coconuts]

Yes we got our first snow storm. Late for us this year. We've had just a warm fall.

Not the same. But debating switching internet service. Not sure. Annoyed with amount kids use it. Part of me wants to drop it all together. Part of me wants it to just be faster.

Hi there,

Hope your new cell service is good for you. Switching can be such a pain in the neck. I'm going to have to get a new phone - hopefully sooner rather than later because my current phone is definitely on it's last leg - and that's enough of a process.

It's been really grey here, too. I don't usually have much of a problem with cloudy days, it's just when the sun disappears for days/more than a week at at time that I start to struggle a bit.

Sending lots of virtual sunshine your way.

coconuts,
Had a little snow last week. It's holding off. i get the internet push/pull!
Noname,
Good to read your post! Agreed, it's cloudy/rainy days on end that get to me a bit.
Sun came out today, and warmish, too. In process of phone service change, probably must take bus to teach today. can't use uber w/out cell. But...sunshine!

Tula had her walk, all her sniffs and frolic!
Now to shower and finish lesson prep.
pocket riders welcome, also retroactively.

Tula has had 2 walks on this windy, cold day.
Kinda struggling.

[dancingfish]

Pocket riding, if you'd like. I would like some of your wonderful company. :)

aw, sweet dancingfish,
Thinking of you often.
Practiced playing, singing 'When Sunny Gets Blue', which channeled my low feelings in a good way.
Have been drawing online project, taking breaks, Jane Eyre movie on.
Walking around with Tula every now and thrn.

Thanks for hopping into a pocket, df.
