    You're in the best position with a job already....you're not desperate so might as well put yourself out there

    1980s, a 7yr old boy, one car and a house that we couldn’t afford the payments on.
    My husband quit his job and became self employed.
    It was terrifying! I was working full time from home drafting and he struggled but after about a year things turned around and he was successful starting his own company.
    It is a very scary thing to do but he was so miserable at his job and terribly underpaid.

    How badly do you want to quit?
    I won’t say you should do it but if you can find another job you think you’d like better or make more money, go for it!

    I’ll add that when we went through this, we were in our late 20s.
    I imagine it’s even scarier in your 30s, 40s.

    Best of luck to you!

    Why do cucumbers always taste good, in drinks, cocktails and foods but when I buy a bunch put them in the fridge they quickly start to smell and make me sneeze hard ?? Why do I suddenly size up 10 inches on my belly for what my AI calls inflammation and wrong foods and build up of fluids? Why is there a walk pad next to me and dont I stand on it. Why do I wait months for nice weather to go out and walk and jog and just stay in and let the summer go by? Why does coffee not wake me up but fade me out. Why don't I continue beauty treatments if they work that good. Why do I not see a clearly weight loss in the clearly weight loss picture.. That was it.. Im good for a year .. haha

    In the 1970s there was a trend, we all wore POW/MIA bracelets of soldiers in Vietnam.
    I can’t remember what happened to the one I had, wish I knew.

    Be honest - is this too much garlic?

    I’m glad that for me, it seems like it works better than anything else because slathering castor oil all over my neck and face, massaging it in, waiting for it to dry makes for a rather long nightly routine.

    That is one long run-on sentence, 😂

    I went to the gym for the first time in one month. Damn golfers elbow has really upended my lifting efforts. Occupational therapy is helping a little, but I don't think I'm seeing significant improvement. I didn't lift heavy today, but it felt good just to go and lift something.

    Summer is over here.
    A few more days in the 80s but the weather has definitely changed.
    I love the Fall but it takes me a while to adjust, today is the 4th day with no sunshine.
    All I feel like doing is eat and sleep.

    We are having 100 degree days here for several days…Yuck! We need rain so bad and irrigation is cut off early because of not enough snow fall this past winter. Can hardly wait for fall! 🍁

    I hope it comes soon and brings you rain! ❤️

    I didn’t water my lawn one single time this summer, (my town charges more for water than electricity) only my flowerbeds. The grass was getting crispy then it rained a couple times and it’s completely green now.

    You are a lovely woman with a lot to offer! Don't let anyone else dictate your worth in this life! You never know what a difference you could make in someone else's day or existence. Think about reinventing yourself in this phase mentally. Do it for yourself first not anyone else and see what benefits you the most. I am currently on this journey myself…a totally different person from 5 years ago mentally. I wish you happiness! 💖

    Thanks M! I hope it rains too…my irrigation pump broke this summer and that didn't help either!

    please don’t say that, I feel sure you have many people who love and care about you.
    I was just mumbling to myself today how no one ever asks me to do anything, no one calls unless they need something from me, etc.

    I think we all must feel that way sometimes. Chin up beautiful!

    You are loved. Never believe otherwise. Please take to heart what you've been told - you have worth and there are people who love you. Sometimes the people around us get so busy they can't see what we need. Maybe you could volunteer somewhere (Meals on Wheels, an animal shelter - I don't know where you heart is), or take up a new hobby or interest. Hugs to you; hopefully this feeling passes.
