What's on your mind?

My anxiety and allergies have been worse recently, and it has been getting me down at times. Sometimes it feels like I'll be struggling with these miserable things for the rest of my life.

I once said in another thread that we should all wise up and give a third party candidate a shot at President next time, just to try and see what happens when we don't in our bias elect a Republican or Democrat in for a change ... so I still say, as I have said hundreds of times here before: I endorse Miss Spaulding.

The CF party.

Such a positive day today. Had another cold front move in last night, which brought much cooler temps and gusty winds. It's cold enough for a heavy jacket outside now, and the humidity is basically nonexistent. Finally get to use the fireplace and outdoor burn pit again; I've been waiting for weather like this for months!

Also am helping my cousin work on a new design for my brother's gym, and just received his plans last night. The original design I worked on last year ended up being too expensive to build, so my cousin is working on something more economical. He's a fully license architect, and is doing a majority of the work himself, which should help save a lot of money - in contrast to hiring someone else. I'll be helping come with ideas for the design and with the digital renders, which will be presented when a loan is pursued to help fund the build.

In addition, I should be able to release a game within the next few days, which is very exciting! The other projects have been taking much longer than anticipated, but this one is much easier to develop. It should still be a lot of fun and quite challenging as well; hopefully it ends up being very popular once released. I'll be promoting it to our online community once it's closer to release.

Earlier today outside during work I saw this seeming stray dog just hanging about the premises for the second time this past weekend. I thought she would have long run off after spending just a few minutes wandering around, get bored seeing that no one here would feed her, and go away. Especially after experiencing the first deadly chemical release ... which for some reason we started having about three times a day the past few days I have been there at work ... and I don't think they make respirators that fit a dog's face.

It turns out she has been here a long time, so much so that most people in the plant know her and gave her a name. ... They call her Bromine.

All we have near my job are ducks and coyotes.

That doesn't sound like a good mix..

Well the ducks came first..... the coyotes showed up after Harvey and they liked the snacks.

I think the ducks deserved it though.... sit in the middle of the road having no fear because they had no REAL predator until the coyotes showed up.

Sit in the middle of the road blocking traffic..... they were arrogant little quackers.

I am so happy to hear all this.

-God loves me. The world may not, but God does. Faith in God begins with the understanding that God love us all. Loving others should break down the hatred and envy I have for others because focusing on self only brings resentment when we don't get what we want. It ain't about me, it'd about God. Too many of us want our will accomplished but always it conflicts with others who have their own plans for the world. Therefore, God's will reigns supreme.

Sometimes I feel lonely and think, no one really cares about me, understands me, knows me, etc. (not exactly true). But the thought that usually gets me beyond that is remembering that God loves, cares about, and knows me. His view of me and his love for me is far more important than anyone else’s.
My family and friends do love and care about me too (but it’s easy to feel discouraged in life sometimes). But when I’m down it encourages me to have the knowledge that God loves me and will always love me and nothing can change that. I don’t have to be amazing to be loved by God because he is the one who is amazing and loves me unconditionally.

I think you made a good point on how we should be focused on loving others. I’ve noticed it actually makes life better to love others even when it is so hard. Bringing our focus beyond just ourself is tough, but it’s amazing how loving others and trying to love others changes attitude and perspective too.

Well the royal couple arrived in Australia this week. it's funny how they are treated almost like gods. All they need to do is show up, to affect change. I think it's kind of stupid how it takes famous people showing up to motivate some into action. If you had the power to do something before they showed up then you should have done it then.

Glad I'm an American.. we generally scoff at the idea of royality.

I hate doing it but I'm no call, no showing at my job I just got a few months ago (start a different one on Thursday) but they treated me horribly. Empty promises. Why should I show up? Yes, I know it's the proper thing to do but if they're going to treat me horribly, I don't want to be there.

Or you could pull a walk off stunt like destroying stuff or doing something mean to a fellow co-worker. What are they going to do, fire you?

 

[somebodysangel_88]

Ehhh, I prefer my route of keeping my phone off and no call no showing xP

throw any thought of using them as a reference out the window then.

I was already planning on not to anyway. I spoke to a fellow co-worker before this and she told me she thought the store was going to be going under anyways... Managers were going on that we were cutting hours but we were VERY under staffed. It was horrible. Some nights we had NO ONE in grocery.

I hope everyone is doing alright!
