What's your mood today?

[Safe_Bet]

I always read the thread like this in AH because I like to know what people are feeling. I'm even more interested in having a like thread here so I can better understand what you are feeling when they do, say or write certain things.

For example if Sassy or LadyS write one of their smoking hot pieces while in an upbeat mood or if Eve and Ange write about Zombies when they are bummed - that interests me.

Call it motivational research; call it I care about my friends; call it bull shit - I don't care. If for no other reason, do it so that you don't get a bright, bubbly "cheerleader" email from me when you're enjoying a good depression! (And, yes, I'm embarassed to say, I was a cheerleader - pom poms and the whole deal - makes me want to vomit).

I'm introspective today.

My ex-family is disowning me in front of their church congregation this morning, while I am taking the girls to the bakery for fresh muffins.

Fuck them - I'll take love and muffins any day.

I have to say that when I'm writing, my mood could best be described as "none" or "neutral." If I'm especially happy or sad or angry, it absolutely will screw with my ability to write. When I'm writing, especially if it's going really well, I'm in a no-feelings zone. I'm totally focused on the words and the line breaks. I usually write a first draft in a few minutes, really, really fast and I almost always have some kind of music blasting while I write. I spend much more time editing after I produce a first draft.

Enjoy the company and the muffins. You'll be having a great time with your fam while those church people are probably wrecking their digestion for the rest of the day with all that hate.

hmmph! now that's what religion is all about

I tell you, go on, enjoy your life, as Angeline said, let them wreck themselves with their hate. They wouldn't be secular if they didn't have someone to exclude/hate.

I wish I had your strength.

be well

Today I'm a little pissy. There's a number of factors contributing to this pissiness:

my knee is still sore after surgery, I've actually cast 3 "absorbable" stitches through one of my wounds since Thursday and so, I haven't healed; it's been over a month,

I haven't been sleeping worth beans because of this discomfort caused by all that,

it's hot and humid (for here)

and I just generally enjoy being pissy​

Sometimes, you just gotta say Fuck It . With smiles, or with daggers. Whatever gets you through the day. Your poem today was with smiles.....and there were razor blades between the teeth. I digs that.
Feel what you need to feel about the situation. Go through the whole gamut of emotions, but don't let it break you. You got cajones, girl. My hat's off to you.


Today, I have this gnawing in my gut that is making it hard for me to write. I can't pin point it, but something feels off. Ever have this feeling, where the air around you just stirs in a weird way? Been feeling it for a couple of days and it's hampering my creativity. Funny thing is, both joy and pain work great to get my creative juices flowing. Almost any feeling I can put a name to, I can write through it. I know exactly what I'm feeling, and I use it for fuel. But this grey area is killing me. I'm feeling this indistinguishable whirlwind of God-knows-what, and it's got me in knots. Damn if I know what my 30/30 is gonna look like today.

Today I'm sad. I was yesterday and day before that and day before that... Grieving is hard.

Today I am resting,
the last month has been very hectic , I have barely had time to write, let alone to give the fourms the attention they deserve. It is good to sleep late, to get up and putter, so all in all its a good day

Slightly worried.

I have every reason to be angry, frustrated, grumpy and stressed out to the brink of panic.

I'm not. I'm rather relaxed and chipper.

But I half expect the reasons for the opposite to hit me like a ton of bricks any day now...

Fuck them - I'll take love and muffins any day.

Love and muffins is never wrong.

 

[loststar]

loving the muffin is never wrong either

 

[Unbridled_Passion]

I cannot get out of this bad mood...
When you have four children running around
who do not get along, who could be?
My sanity is on the verge, but
still I have love for them all...
but, sometimes I wish I could
just have one minute to myself...
not!

I am sliding into panic mode but I always do just before a holiday. I am a natural worrier and won't relax until I am on the boat. So if I scratch a few of you in passing do forgive me it's not me it's the worry monster sitting on my shoulder

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Restless and flattered. (I was hit on by a much-younger guy yesterday which is good for the ego. I usually go for guys my own age, but it was still a lovely thought.)

 

[UnderYourSpell]

More upbeat mode now after having my article accepted. I was the first to write about Hereditary cataracts in Staffies and it seems I have done another first in High blood pressure and the effect on dogs eyes

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Congrats, UYS! Now I feel celebratory.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Thankyou kind lady and for the nana too lol

I can't get my cotton-picking gin to working this morning. I think the fog has puttered up the engine, or sumthin....

so I am kinda nervous...don't much care for that peeing-on-command trick they make us do to get money.

Pardon ??!!

I'm ok. The week begins busily since there's a building project in the works around here so, lumber and men surround the coffee pot; not that there's anything wrong with that.
I'm still a bit tarred (hehehe, that suth'n drawl shore do hep make puns) so I'll make coffee and wave an occassional pompom.

Congrats to Annie on her article. I know you draw from personal experience and it heartens me to see the unselfish ability to share that hard-earned knowlege to smooth someone else's journey on the road. As an aside note, when I was first diagnosed with heart valve difficulties I did a lot of reading on connective tissue diseases... A couple of my symptoms related to high internal vitrious fluid pressures inside my eye that can cause retinal detachment and glaucoma blindness, I had squiggly floaties (migraine aura without migraine) in my eye and I had very high blood pressure due to my heart working harder and less efficiently to keep me alive. The poor overstrained pump... I'm also acquainted with a rather famous kayaker (3 time Olympic champ) who is(was) a cardiac researcher. He worked with our four-legged friends (who are well-loved and treated with respect and kindness in exchange for their gifts to humanity, so PETA supporters need not get riled) and remarks that the same issues are noted in canines as in humans. It may be something you find useful or interesting to look into. I just draw a connection with connective tissue genetics when I think of big dogs and hip dysplasia and other inherited traits inside a breed.

Now, I feel good that I may have given someone else material to write another article ...

Thanks for that Champ when I come back in September I will have to look into it
