Sounds like a few good plans @eudemonism

it does sound as though your cup runneth over re your daily events
avoiding stress paramount for us all....needs constant reminding in my case. Always forgetting where I am on the list still...a work in progress...
I am in the throes of retiring now...current situation has exasperated my health too much now...so goodbye to paid work...will look into going back to volunteering next year
worked professionally previously...did not complete university though...can't reveal anymore for privacy reasons
I would love to write myself....on the list ...possibly one day...fiction though..
@Adek Skin specialist thumbs up...senile warts and moles!,,,apparently senile warts (large freckles ) appear at the age of 40...
@eudemonismpleased to read about your ideas....books.....order in at library? Good idea...I do that too......all the best with giving up the cigarettes...very hard...so be kind to yourself...reducing gradually is a good outcome to start with too...my husband has been trying for over 15 months....he has cut right back which is better than nothing...especially health wise.....

That is such a true distinction @eudemonism I wholeheartedly agree.

cynicism and realism are totally different...quite right
I feel as though my responding on here gets under your skin now for some reason
I can honestly say to you....hand on heart....I have always tried to consider your feelings...your pain....
If you knew me personally you would know that I am the last person on earth to ever want to hurt someone's feelings....in fact this has come at a cost to me......
I can be cynical in my attitude towards large corporations...part of the medical system....sincerity of some people who work in those areas.....I have been badly burnt by them
I do not want to upset you or cause you any further pain....
Would you prefer that I stop writing on this thread?......If this makes you more at ease I will do this for you...I sincerely want you to continue using this thread for yourself....if that means my leaving ...so be it..

thank you so much @eudemonism
I believe you when you say how hard your life is and hence I wanted to make sure that I wasn't just making it worse for you.
keep on writing....I know when I write it does help me...I am not in a good place at the moment....anxiety high...depression hanging around.. lurking in the background...
writing out my thoughts and responding to others helps me too
your taking the time to write back what you did has helped me immensely...thank you..confirms that you are a caring considerate person
dealing with day to day stuff is the absolute pits sometimes....
when I have to spend time with family whom I don't like I tell myself that I am doing it for my husband and myself not them. It is what it is and the time will pass. All they have to do is respect me.
I don't think that you are referring to family....whoever the people are they need to know what you will and won't tolerate......called setting boundaries....hard to do at times but part of being kind to ourselves
hope that you get to read some of those books that you wrote about earlier
thank you again

just read your last response
odd because what I have already written is about exactly that
we will not let people take us for granted....we will be there to help but not at our own expense....if they disrespect us we have every right as human beings to tell them so and set boundaries. Sometimes we have to say goodbye to people like that. They are leeches.
Be kind to you
