so the day goes on

I wrote an email inquiring about an opportunity to volunteer somewhere.


I wrote some emails to friends and family. I ate something and rested in the sun


and went for a walk. For some reason as the day goes on - my anxiety goes up -


I drank some punch earlier and had a couple slices of cake. The sugar might cause this.


I think on my vacation days I might get a fish as a pet after all. Being a single man


in a Board and Care with other adults is tough. I want ownership, I think, of some things.


Not much here is mine.  Sometimes I can accept it - and other times I have a hard time doing so.


So, I think I will get a pet and give myself a 'significant other.' hehe It's hard. I want to share my day with


others as in - having a life but anyways - so it goes.

thanks IWBD. I spend most of my time doing solitary things. I am lucky and tomorrow my work week starts again - so I will be back into 'gear' so to speak! :) There are many things I like about working.
I am part of a team. I am making money. I am running a big machine (the market). I also interact with the public. Then when I come home, I wash up and try and take care of errands. I look forward to hearing back about the volunteer thing. Peace.

Hope you find something you will like to volunteer. It's a good way to spend your time. I think helping others always helps. Sorry you are having anxiety today. Lately I've had more anxiety than usual too. I think you should get the fish. They are relaxing to watch. Being alone can be hard. I'm lucky to have a cat.
