Hello. Hi. Howdy. How is everyone doing? Are you good? Are you bad? Surviving? In-between?

I don't know about you but lately my energy has been all over the place. One day I'm pacing like a caged animal (excess energy), the next day I just don't care about anything. I exercise, I walk, I keep busy, i just can't seem to shake this weird energy, nothing seems to work. Can't seem to put my thoughts and words together. Feel like I'm spinning going from one thing to another to another, trying to be all places at once but not getting anywhere. I know we all have our ups and downs, those little moments of joy and panic, quite times, busy times. I just can't explain this, it feels neither good or bad, it just is. I don't know...maybe getting this out there will shift the balance and get moving again.

Hopefully this is just a little pothole on my path or my 5th house is transitioning through the sea of tranquility or I need a steak and a blow job.

If you are feeling like me, know you're not alone, we'll get over this hump in the road. You got this. I got this. We got this.

Time for a coffee
 
My brain is feeling pretty energetic. My body, not so much. Oh well... it could be worse: it could be the other way around.
 
I’m alright. I’m laying in bed with my cat. I just put my parrot back in her cage and she was not happy about it. My pain is bad, otherwise I’d be sitting up. I’m watching 90 Day Fiancé.
 
Hiya...I've just finished prepping food for tomorrow, Thai green curry, a clear soup with pork ribs and a vegetable and then pumpkin for dessert.
My poppy seed bread (artisan) is proofing in the fridge.
I need to take some ladders back to a friend tomorrow.
 
I am okay, thanks for asking. To be honest, my life is too boring now. I work from home and don't have a hobby. I read some articles on the internet https://www.skillcourses.com/hobbies-for-introverts/ and decided to learn more about photography. I am really interested in it so I would be appreciative of any good recommendations.
Im also fine. That said, the price of fresh veg is really sky rocketing. I love mushrooms but the price is quite astounding given they are shipping them from China.. I'm not a camera guy sorry, (I tried a selfie in 2017) but love to chat.
 
Still here. I am waiting for the result of my latest scan for lung cancer. I will get the result on 3rd October. I'm hoping it will show that chemotherapy has sent it into remission again until the next time. The type of cancer I have is very aggressive and almost impossible to cure completely. It will come back, but I have already had over 3 years since I was told to go away and enjoy my last few weeks.

I used to have a collection of Russian cameras, mainly SLR with an assortment of lenses but also some rangefinder ones. I answered a desperate want post on the local Freegle/Freecycle for a student of photography who was about to go to an arts college with photography as her main subject.

She turned up with her father and was surprised to receive six under-bed storage boxes of cameras and equipment. She passed her A-level (university entrance level) with an A* - the highest possible and has just finished her second year (of three) with firsts in all subjects.

I know my collection is being well used.

I'm hanging in there. I'm in pain so I'm in bed watching TV. I go to a new pain doctor on Tuesday, thank goodness. I hope everyone is doing alright.

Good luck mate.

Thank you. I don't want to start chemotherapy again.

I don't have any side effects except losing hair on top of my head. After the third chemo session, the hair is recovering slower than after the first two. I have a fuzz but I kept my beard.

Apart from that, nothing but boredom. I can eat anything after chemo and do - including a vindaloo curry two hours afterward, which annoys my fellow chemo patients.

Deleted all the sadness.
Hope to see a fyxkung good post from you tomorrow.
 
Today is the second day of gloomy weather here. My pain and fatigue get worse when it's dreary outside. Also, I get majorly sad, unfortunately. I was able to clean off my desk today! It's not an easy feat considering it was so messy before. Right now, my bedroom is also my art studio, writing space, and craft studio. Things are cluttered in here!
 
I'm okay-ish. My anxiety, depression, and panic disorders are all calm at the moment, but I fell Sunday and I still have trouble getting up from bed or a chair and walking for the first few minutes is challenging. I have balance issues because my feet are doing wonky things, likely caused by my morbid obesity (I hate the phrase but there it is). But aside from the back pain at the moment (and the never ending pain in my left leg because of a titanium rod used to fix a broken tibia), I'm doing ok. I'm definitely not a "the sun'll come out tomorrow" sort of person, but I do my best to not let these things keep me from being kind to others and just trying to be a good person all around.
 
I'm still sick. It's been almost four weeks now. I'm hanging in there, though. How are you all?
 
I am a little bit concerned about the ramifications regarding the current weather, to be perfectly frank.
 
I'm hanging in there. It's been raining here, and the rain makes my pain, fatigue, and depression worse. How are the rest of you doing?
