I'm sorry you can't get a pet - maybe you could do some animal work at a shelter. At least, you'd be around them and have some critters in your life, Oded.

If you're particularly fearless, you could spend some time at a zoo. Animals do get to know people who they see often, and I made a few very sweet "friends" that way, before I was able to get a pet of my own.

Joy: I am finally starting to recover from my cold!

Sorrow: The last day of it which was yesterday was the most SEVERE and I wasn't able to do anything at all so I missed doing my routine and have to play catch up now. If you are someone with OCD like me, missing out on a routine really starts gnawing at you.

Glad you’re feeling better, Dayzee.

Me, too, and my empathy's rising `cause my cold's returning … eeesh.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 1:32 am

Oh I hope to God my cold doesn't return and if I do get stuffy it is only a three-day cold like this one. Preferably without it being at its worst on day 3.

Boo! Bad pun! That sucks! Sorry but you need to be punished. *throws a tomato*

And yes, in case you didn't realize it, that was a joke.

I liked it. Then again I have a fondness for puns. Congratulations Hilaoroo!

I’m visiting my parents up north this weekend

My severe winter allergies are coming back, and my nose is usually stuffy for months because of it.

Thanks, all!

Joy: FINALLY got my brother's computer fixed! Hard Drive went bad, followed by RAM issues, and THEN a missing activation key...but we got it fixed!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Nov 18, 2019 9:11 pm

Sledge hammers … always the thing for delicate circuitry work.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Nov 18, 2019 10:26 pm

Sorrow and Annoyance: I took EIGHT hours to finish two homework assignments because they kept on giving me trouble and the questions kept going on and on. It was really getting on my nerves. Now my whole day is shot.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 3:06 pm

Broke the day of housekeeping with some beach time - cold, rainy, few people. Good weather for thinking deep thoughts and talking to your dog.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 5:21 pm

Yeah I tried to go to the beach one time when it was cold and rainy out but I couldn't enjoy it.

Melancholia helps.

Sorrow: My mother woke me up to tell me her friend died from breast cancer.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Nov 21, 2019 7:07 pm

You've been keeping us posted on her friend's challenges for some time, Amazee. I'm deeply sorry for your loss and your grief. Prayers and condolences.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Thu Nov 21, 2019 8:13 pm

So sorry to hear that, Dayzee. You’re in my prayers.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 12:45 am

Thanks. Unlike the other friend that died, I actually knew this one and had memories of her all throughout my life.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 1:40 am

That's just hard, I know.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:18 am

Plus she was young also. I mean not real young but she couldn't have been older that 60.

Joy: I finally got in to see a doctor and now have a GP.

Sorrow: My friend's wake is tonight.

I'm sorry to hear all that's happened, stay strong Amazee. Sending you all the best.

Sorrow: My friend's funeral was today so I spent a few hours at that, then went home and slept for 6 hours.

Hope you're feeling better now. Funerals can be deeply taxing.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 10:17 am

I am feeling better now but only a little bit because I am trying to keep my mind occupied on other things.

That's part of the process. All good wishes, chum.

Joy: I can finally stop snapping at people for listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies since Thanksgiving is officially over and the yuletide season can start!

Nathan Kerbonaut · Post by **Nathan Kerbonaut** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 6:47 pm

Good thing I didn't tell you my family put up our Christmas tree a week ago

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 12:21 am

My mother has a small miniature tree she put in the parlor a few weeks before Thanksgiving and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes at it.

Joy: Got a new phone to replace my brick from 2013.
I've gone from a Nokia Windows phone with 512MB of RAM to a Samsung Galaxy S10e with 6GB of RAM.
Sooooooo much better!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 11:59 am

Neat!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 1:50 pm

I still have an old flip phone but at least it is better than a brick. XD

Nathan Kerbonaut · Post by **Nathan Kerbonaut** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 5:42 pm

Lucky you, that's a very nice phone and a huge upgrade. Android too, good choice

Same here … basic clam shell (clam don't want it back).
