Present and accounted for! Its gotten cold again here in NC, we're expecting some combo of snow/freezing rain tomorrow with temps in the low 30's. Yay! I'm definitely ready for Spring.

I'm heading over to the office for a couple of hours, and then my work week is done. I bought a new MacBook Pro for "work at home" yesterday and it should be here tomorrow so I'll have plenty to do setting that up.

This is the first week I've felt really good and not been sick in a long time, so I'm enjoying that and keeping fingers crossed. I'm going no where public and staying away from all the germy people! LOL

Have a great day all you lovely people!!!

Hi Jan ...Thankyou for being you. You are a true blessing. The weather here has been wonderful. It will be 76 here today but 115 is right around the corner. Just got back from the Dr and not sure if I mentioned but I am having triplets. Yep I am going to have five kids set of twins and than triplets. I am as big as a house and not due until 4th of July. Twins are both boys and now having two boys and one girl. Anyways they are growing and healthy. I’m not on bed rest but I’m sure that will happen. I’m trying to read I just read Kristen Hannah new book Four Winds it was a great book but she is my favorite author it helps me get out of my head. To much time to think. Hope all is well with everyone. Namaste Pema.

I just got out the psych ward. Wasnt a nice stay as i had isolate away alone in my room due to covid virus. Was very lonely and hard when already hearing voices driving me crazy. But i feel a tiny bit less suicidal now.

We are in lock down in my country so u cant go out or see anyone so it sucks alot but its for saftey. We hope to get the vaccines with in next 6 months. They are doing the priority people now first. Old and front line workers.im niether luckily.

Hi all! Wow I wish we had 76 degrees or even 30! It’s in the teens here.
I’m doing pretty well. I just got my nicotine patches in the mail today. Debating if I should put one on now or wait till I finish my vape pod today.
I also picked up a book I started a few months ago. Anne of Green Gables.
Still working on my course work and spending a lot of time at home of course.
I’m teaching Rocket to hold a treat on his nose and wait for it. He’s pretty smart!

Freezing rain Kat... Yikes.... That's nasty stuff.... We've had an extreme cold warning... It's supposed to be -9 tomorrow Celsius......76 sounds divine!!
Stay warm and safe tomorrow sweetie

Triplets.... Wow.... You are going to be a busy mama..... Will you have any help sweetie?... I worked as a nursery nurse for a couple of years a long time ago....

We're going to have to have names for Pema's babies post in a while... smile

Big hug Alittle.... I'm sure it isn't easy in the hospitals right now.... Thank you for mentioning how hard the front line workers have it in many industries

It's good to reflect on and how fortunate we are

I hope that you start to feel better soon sweetie.... I hope that you'll get your vaccine soon and feel better soon as well.... xo

Hello! I’m here and accounted for! I’m okay I’m just out here taking things as they come... I’m just vibing. School has been kicking my butt and it’s going to be extremely cold here the next few days. But I’m okay

I'm doing good. Started using a therapy light about 3 months ago and it worked! No more depression from SAD. It is extremely cold here in Minnesota, USA, -12 for the low tonight, -3 for the high tomorrow.

I just got new car insurance. Saved $6.00 a month. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it does add up.

Congrats on the triplets. Take care of yourself.
Thanks Jan for the roll call. It's good to hear how everyone is doing.

Hello. I',m hanging in there, trying not to be too hard on myself. I got a light box and have it on. There is snow and icy rain in the surrounding areas. Still experiencing fatigue so I don't have a lot of motivation.

I've been doing artistic stuff online.

We are having a cold spell right now, with a low of -7°C tonight. They keep saying possible snow but so far none in our area.
I'm thinking of taking a course, but I'm not certain which one. Currently, I'm leaning towards editing. I'm concerned about the medications affecting my concentration and memory.
I started a new book that really resonates with my childhood. Here is a couple of points:

"Even if you have acquired new information that could be useful to you, you won’t have access to it during an overreaction unless you can calm yourself enough to access it."

"Parents who become agitated or take on their children’s anxieties are only adding to their children’s belief that feelings are dangerous. Rather than absorb a child’s emotional state, parents need to soothe the child and then help the child sort out feelings, fears, and possible solutions."

Hello SunCloud and everyone else! I'm doing really well. Better than I've done in months I feel like.
I'm motivated, and generally feel like my life is going in a good direction, finally.

Pretty sleepy today, but thats prob cause I stayed late and had to get up early for work this morning. I will try to go to bed earlier tonight.

But overall, I'm doing well. Hope everyone else is hanging in there as well.

Saying hello! Been tied up with big work projects.... hugs all around!

Not doing good at all! But not because of the pandemic. Just personal things. Glad you are doing well for the most part.
