I'm soooo excited to move into my new house. Only 4 more weeks... Although it will be hard moving my cat, people will be in and out of the house on the first day so I will have to shut her in one room and put a sign on the door to say there's a cat in there.

Feeling relieved. Just went out for our works Christmas do with people from work. Came home early and relatively sober because I have work tomorrow. Feel so awkward at these functions. Truth is I'm an antisocial git that gets trashed in my free time on Sundays. I work weekends because I hate socializing. I feel like a party pooper so I work antisocial hours.
I should just add that they're really nice people and I love them to bits but something inside is very negative and can't express the same kind of joy for life. I don't know what is wrong with me...

I am envious of those 'oblivious' happy folk, who find a positive note in the saddest of situations. For me, forcing to socialize works as the best counterweight to the awful produce of that little factory.

I'm sorry to be a total downer but I wanted to write this in case anyone has been through this and has any advice. I have had my dog for 16 years. Over the last year, he has gotten a lot of health problems. We think he has dementia and he will often whine in the middle of the night or a lot of times during the day as well, it's either from pain or the dementia. I came home today and my dad said he had been doing this for over 4 hours, which is longer than normal. He seemed especially bad today, so my dad called the vet and we made an appointment to have him brought in tomorrow to be put down. Has anyone been through this with their pet? I know it's the best thing to do for him and it will probably be like a relief after it's over with, but it will take a lot of getting used to not having him around anymore. I've had the dog since I was 9 and I'm 25 now, he's a very big part of our family. I got so upset when I found out we were taking him in and it hasn't even happened yet. I even called out of work already for tomorrow because I just know I will be a wreck all day. I haven't been able to spend much time here lately. But, I do want to say something about this. There's not much that I can say that would make you feel better. If there was, I'd say it. The only that's going to make you feel better is the passage of time. Eventually the sadness will gradually diminish to the point that the fond memories will surpass it. Be aware that a rush of grief can return when something reminds you of a loved one. My mom died over 25 years ago. As Mother's Day approached the first year afterward, I was in a store that had a display of Mother's Day cards. As I reached for one I thought she might like. it hit me like a ton of bricks that I didn't need to buy them anymore. I had to leave the store. Couldn't let anyone see me cry. Most recently, when I made a comment about TMIO, I thought about how much my mom would have liked it. Again, I felt that rush of sadness, I'll always miss my mom and dad, as well as a lot of pets, friends and relatives. If you are lucky to live as long as I have, you will too. But somehow, we move on, until it's our turn. Just remember, dogs to to heaven too. My condolences. It only hurts until the pain goes away.

I wasn't going to put myself through a hangover at work again. That was a nightmare. People from Birmingham have a rock edge about them. They're cool. I just needed to chill out.

Feeling terrible, nervous and VERY exhausted.. We just finished this huge semester-project at my uni and damn it took all life out of me. All these frustrations and sleepless nights.. I don't eat at all, and I look like a huge mess. Tomorrow we are going to present the project and I really have to pass. I simply cannot handle doing this again. The worst thing is, Im not even proud of it. We wrote 140+ pages but i still have a feeling we could have done way better My confidence is at a huge low. Thank god, it's christmas soon. I can't wait to see my family again and just relax for a few days

I feel disgusted today after I found out that radio stations won't play Baby It's Cold Outside because of #MeToo. People get too far these days with everything. I hope these BS is ending soon and we all will be happy.

My goodness. Feeling bored. Spending time with family over Christmas. Just eating, watching TV, then going back to bed every day. Could really use a cannabis pipe to break up the tedium of each day but I can't out of respect for my family.

I hope these BS is ending soon and we all will be happy. Interesting post but it doesn't make any sense. Not to me anyway. Why won't they play it? In the wake of #MeToo, the lyrics really don't age well. Especially lines like "What's in this drink?" imply date rape. I think people are being maybe a bit overly "woke", given that the song was written in 1944, it was a different time then and social context is important with these things. I don't think a nationwide ban was necessary but I understand why some find the lyrics to be offensive in this day and age. The woman clearly wants to leave and the guy is pressuring her to stay. In the social climate we're in right now, it's probably not the best song to play.
