Did they change some of the gems on here? I'm seeing ones I haven't before like amethyst and opal. Or maybe I just wasn't very observant.

The VA is now requiring frontline healthcare workers to get vaccinated. Can't wait until it's eventually mandatory across the military.

It's so muggy here its ridiculous. The kids swam and I read pool side. I'm about to make dinner.
R and his girlfriend broke up. I am very sad about it. I loved her and so did my kids. I'm hoping they work it out.. late teen/early 20s girls are sometimes hard to like but she was great.

Also MJs new favorite thing is to be "nakey" which means diaper only and sometimes I can't even keep that on her 🤦♀️

It's just based on how many posts you have. I use the web and mobile version and not Tapa so it might look different for you. It's by your screen name.

A little better, but I’m still risk managing, only a few social contacts, no playgrounds/pool when they’re busy, no eating out etc. For now that is fine. I pushed myself (I mean I can’t wrap the kids in bubble wrap forever) and we took a trip to the zoo. We avoided play areas and indoor exhibits. I felt relatively safe and the kids were exuberant, which made it worth it. I talked to my h and he’s keeping an eye on me, if I’m not doing better in a few months I’m going to find some help. Thank you for asking . A few months is a long time, nam. Agree, especially when you've been struggling for so long.

Hey. It’s been a long day. I have had a headache for most of the day, thanks to mastitis, but life goes on so I had to suck it up. Took the girls to swimming lessons this morning, then we stopped and grabbed lunch to go because I didn’t want to cook. The big girls have been fighting all day and V was super whiny so I was ready to pull my hair out by the time dh got home. As soon as I was done with supper I left to get school supplies at target. Dang it’s expensive. I’m planning to go to bed soon.

Hi! Our older kitty had a vet appt this morning -- he's not eating as much as he used to. I assumed it was bc if the new cat, but it turns out it's hyperthyroidism. Apparently 90% of cats who have this get a little wild and eat a ton, but there's the 10% that become sloth-like. That's our boy! He stated a new med and will have to be seen in a few weeks to check his kidneys, but a dose of Sub cutaneous fluids and anothrr of antibiotics have bolstered him and he ate regularly today. Yay! We swam all afternoon and then watched the olympics highlighted.

I forgot to mention, I checked the mail today and there was a handwritten letter in there. It was an invitation to visit the Jehovah’s Witness website to learn 🤣 I think an old lady sent it

A few months is a long time, nam. Agree, especially when you've been struggling for so long. I know. But I feel it’s highly dependent on sleep deprivation and COVID. So I’m hopeful that if things in those departments will improve I’ll start feeling better. If not than I know I need to get help. Pdq I’ve seen my mom struggle with anxiety, depression, ocd almost my entire life, she currently in one of the worst points ever, she can’t work, can’t go in to the city for an errand, has different kinds of therapy and is on two types of medication. So I know I need to be careful and not underestimate things. It was my master’s thesis, intergenerational transmission of anxiety and depression… go figure 🤦🏼♀️.

inthekitty, I'm sorry the ropes course sucked. Was it a bad course or are you guys afraid of heights? We had so much fun when we went and I want everyone to love them! trtlcrzy I hope your boobs are better! guster hyperthyroidism is so common in cats. You should see him improve pretty quickly on the medication. They can live for many years with it. nam2013 I don't want to harass you but saying your anxiety is highly dependent on sleep deprivation and COVID is an excuse not to get help. Who knows how long both of those things will last and don't you want to feel better now? I understand the hesitation. Especially when you have three kids and the idea of scheduling alone is anxiety provoking. I hope I'm not being too harsh but I've given myself all of the excuses before and I can tell you from experience that there will always be some excuse to delay getting help.

wedding the girls did a kids course at the zoo pre-Covid and loved it. This course had too many challenging/wobbly obstacles. Madison hated it. Like nearly had a panic attack. She froze. It didn't help that not long after we got there they let a huge group after us and moved them ahead of us so it was crowded and the zipline line was super long. I really think they should have had at least one staff member up at the top helping with the zipline. Cass got stuck on the zipline and thankfully figured out how to pull herself in by the rope but it scraped the side of her face. They also didn't supply gloves. Eta: the course the girls did a year ago was a one way course. This was like a 3 tier octagon thing and there's no set way to move through. Also there was a mixture of difficulty throughout but I wish there was a "path" of more stable obstacles for those who don't like feeling they are about to fall to their death.

The JWs are hitting it hard. Must have been a call from their leadership. Although JW believe only a certain not large number of people will get into heaven so I don’t know why they’re recruiting.
