Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Pure Exhaustion

Thursday was my last day of work and I am now on summer break.  I had a ton of plans for yesterday however, after going to two yard sales in the morning and Walmart, I spent the rest of the day on the loveseat.  Today I am going to town-wide yard sales with my bestie and tomorrow I am going to the beach with my brother.  A classmate has been in touch with me on a regular basis and she's wearing me out.  She's real intense and super intelligent.  She sent me a card and some texts.  I just haven't been up to reading or responding.  I have been exhausted.  My friend who always calls at the wrong times called last night.  I didn't answer.  Lately, I have been going to bed around 7 p.m.  I'm just that exhausted and done with the day.  I have to leave here at 6:45 a.m. as my bestie is 45 minutes away.  Then the yard sales are about 15 minutes away.  I really shoudn't be going at all.  I just found my beach bag.  I put my beach tag in it.  That's one less thing on my To Do List.  I just feel like I've been in a whirlwind for all of 2026.  My clothes are all over the place.  I'm so glad that I'm on summer break.  I have lots of plans for my house, my yard, my health.  I am hoping to lose the weight that I gained after my 89 pound weight loss a few years ago.  My 50th class reunion is in mid-August.  I have been working on finding classmates but I need to buckle down even more.  Thanks for reading!  Have a great weekend!

You have a lot going on! Maybe take some time off to regroup and re-energize. Take a nap, a short one. Sit in the sun. Hope you have an enjoyable weekend also. Been raining buckets here and the mold allergy of mine is in high gear. Trimmed the front small trees a little bit last night and went for a short walk. But woke up in the middle of the night wide awake because I had fallen asleep in the daytime for too long.

Thanks Barry and hasty! It's 3:49 a.m. The yard sales were okay. I got a giant rake for $5, nice dishes for $3, a white top for $1, new Skechers for $15 and a used pair for $5, two Dave Matthews concert DVDs for $2 each and two baskets for $1 (for both). Then I headed for a thrift store called Red, White & Blue that my brother likes. I caught a good sale on swimwear and found a mug to match another mug that I got at that store about a month ago, all for $6.10. After I checked out, I heard my name. My brother was in line. After that, I went to the gym for a massage and then I went to Dollar General for their Saturday deal. I spent way more than $25! I got two different types of cat food for the outside cats. Unfortunately, the mother didn't really like the Meow Mix and I only saw one kitten, so I was bummed. hasty, that's great that you took a walk and did some yard work. This morning, I have to go to ShopRite for two prescriptions before I go to the beach with my brother. We are only staying on the beach for two hours. The beach is so relaxing and my brother is a great beach buddy. Have a great Sunday!

So jealous Green! You get summer break and the opportunity to thrift with your friends! Totally understand your exhaustion, beaching is a lot of work (my favorite job on the planet tho).

I only get the weekends to beach and thrift, since they still haven't replaced the woman who was bullying me.

Mr K wants to take me camping the fourth of July weekend (oh boy....). I have a company picnic in a couple of days and my cousin is coming on Saturday so we can go to the WKAR history show and maybe display one of my grandmother's quilts

Enjoy your summer plans and don't forget to hydrate!

I hope you can find sometime to rest up before work starts back up. Congrats on finding good deals at the yard sales. It is way too hot here in Texas to be walking around in the heat like that lol.

My first husband was a college instructor so he had summers off and we would travel around for 3 - 5 weeks. My current husband has a regular job so I miss traveling every summer. It was a nice schedule. But my current husband is great company, where my ex was an absolute grouch (he had a drinking problem) and had a way of ruining a good time. Back then, I often traveled alone.

Do you live near the beach? I really miss island living.
