It is not a good day already.  Depression sucks ... i am halfway down the rabbit hole and i am tired of trying to crawl back out. i am holding up my hands and letting go ... sliding down to the bottom.  Don't bother looking for me.

this has been a busy day at work. trying to get my jobs done so i can rest this weekend and start Monday with a clean slate. only 3 small projects to go. 
So question for DiC anyone have any plans for the weekend? myself we have cancelled our family cook out for this year. 

Nope, no plans. But, then again, I never plan, so no plans is to be expected in my case.

We are thinking about a same day road trip. One of the saddlery outlets I deal with opened a brick and mortar store about 2 hours from here.

Thanks for letting us know. 

Take care of yourself too. I know firsthand how hard it is to watch someone you love battle their demons. You're a good man. 

This isn't so bad. There have been times where I've had to pick him up and force him into the car to get him to hospital. All while he is telling me how much he hates me and life. That's hard. 

This time is not remotely like that, thankfully.

Nothing outside the normal weekend stuff. I will need to wrestle my scaredy dog into his thundershirt. I dont think it helps much, but he looks dorky in it so it's worth it. 😉😆

hi rick,

So the fun goes on at my job. 

First thing this morning we are bombarded with tales of some young guy jumping in our lake, then jumping in the pool. 

I checked the security cameras and sure enough...caught the culprit jumping in the pool. [Lake is too far to trigger the sensors]. Did a pretty nice front flip too. 

We recognize him as one of our resident's grandson. We know that this young guy (early 20s) has some mental issues. He was in a behavioral hospital earlier this year. We got ahold of his brother (the grandparents, who are our residents don't speak English) who told us that the guy was not being complacent taking his meds. 

When we called the pool company to see if anything needed to be done to the pool (lakewater is gross) she laughed and said "well aren't you supposed to rinse off before going in the pool?" 

Pool is ok. Kid is ok. Residents are ok. My sides hurt from laughing.

FYI, never jump in a lake in Florida. Gators and goose poop. 'Nuff said.

The best piece of advice is, "if you see a puddle of water in a pot hole on the street, assume there is a gator in it."

Actually had to call animal control once, because we had a gator roaming the front yard of our house and the neighbors.

I'm glad this isn't as bad as it's been.  Thoughts of love to both of you.

i can handle raccoons - possum but you know i would run not walk if i saw a gator in my front yard. the worse animals around here are deer and running across the road.

I like the gators when they're wounded and bleeding out orange and blue...go Noles!🤣

That certainly defeats the purpose. Hang in there. Things will even out eventually (so I keep saying).

Sending good thoughts to you, tim. The hole is never too deep for you to find your way back. Just keep holding onto Mike's tether, he'll pull you up. 

[mollyhousemouse]

hello @JayT it's good to see you

yes, it does feel good! and if it happens, it will make work SO much better as i was just handed our largest customer 😮
when i logged off today, my To Do list was still mostly red, and there were 20 some unread emails, so i missed my goal, but will try to put in a couple of hours on Saturday

the dogs got a possum one night in the backyard, we thought it was dead. we pulled the dogs away and put them in the house. when Phil and the boys got back outside to scoop him up for the trash, it was gone!

I *know* that here in Ohio there isn't anything that can hurt me in the water.......but having a childhood and most of adolescence in South Florida means I have a deep seated aversion to getting in fresh water....especially murky water I can't see through.  

[Starrynight22]

tim I hope you feel better soon. 

[Starrynight22]

Hello and good night everyone.  I told myself I'd go to bed at a decent time tonight.   Lol.  

 

I shouldn't have trusted myself

Good morning everybody!

@MichaelS36 after a rough day, I'm hoping you can use a little positiveness.

I like your confidence and strength. It shows with every post. You have an encouraging word for those who need it. You also have a wicked sense of humor that shows itself once in a while. You are a caring person. 

I hope today will be a good day for you and tim.
