How're You DoingHad an email from someone today about depression, and how the current "everything in the world is shit, right now" is impacting their usual cheery mindset. Thought I oughta make a thread, without getting too much in depth about world shittyness. How're you doing? Are you coping? How's family/friends. I hope you're all ok. *hugs* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Everything’s okay—at least for today. Tomorrow? That’s a always whole new story. Each day feels like a choice: chase my dream, or chase the paycheck to keep food on the table. Work on my lovely project, to make me keep sane or pause and reflect on what life’s been quietly trying to tell me. Some thing that I have missed or forgot. Btw: I’m about to send my first daughter off to study out of town. I’ll miss her, but that’s the job, as parent, right? We raise them to go live their own lives. She will, soon or later, choose her life, and her future. This is like what happens to me, and may brothers earlier, leaving my town and familty to go to big city for the big O. big Apple. But yeah… it’ll all be alright. Somehow, it always is. *hugs* -=-=- BASIK

Doing well, my friend in the Air Force is here for a week. Summer is my favorite season despite it hitting 100 this week. Put my hammock out yesterday and put the canvas on my pergola. |

Being perfectly honest with myself. I'm jumping between everything is fine to everything is not fine at all. Part of me is very scared for the future, general public safety in the UK and all that shizz, particularly for my kids. Another part of me thinks, ehhh, things are okay, you still have a job somehow after all these years. Stuck inbetween jumping from tree to shining tree, struggling to keep myself afloat with all the financial demands being placed on me still though. HMRC want more money from me again which isn't exactly great news. I'll get home from work and try to convince myself to get on with more work when really, I just want some time to relax and end up getting stuck in some sorta limbo inbetween the two. It's not great. At least time with the kids at the weekend is nice and fun though. So, yeah, kinda the same as usual, hoping some good fortune with stocks and shares appears on the horizon , ideally in the next 2 years would be great. Hope things are good with you Jay

Me and Mum are doing ok. Health wise, Mum's having issues with her back. There's a lot of hills around here, and they seem to be adversely affecting her bones... :/ My head's struggling in the heatwave, but otherwise I seem to be coping ok. Between the two of us, we're about 1/5th of a totally fit person  Finance wise, Mum is now getting her ("Don't tell everyone how old I am") State Pension, which is roughly 1.5 times what she was getting for Carer's Allowance. (Carer's allowance is about £80 a week.. .. Which is fucking terrible, really, for someone who's meant to be caring for another person, but also has to survive, themselves..) My disability was pretty much paying the bills, there, for a while. Any profits from the house move were lost a long long time ago. We've been coasting it, if I'm honest. Now we're much more stable, and hopefully that continues for a while longer. Though, knowing our look, the roof will probably come off at some point in the next couple of weeks, and we'll be right back to square one again. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
