Joy: Today I'm studying computer animation, that course will be a year and a half.

Sorrow: I'm afraid those bad thoughts about those dead celebrities will forever be on my mind.

Sorrow: Woke up to our basement flooded...well more like the floor was soaked and ended up spending half the morning replacing a connector for the ice machine. Got it fixed and now we're just letting the basement dry out now (Just a few damp areas now).

Joy: GODZILLA VS KONG TRAILER LOOKS GOOOOOOOOOOD!

Finally - got through the vaccine site maze in my state and have our anti-covid shot scheduled!! (Of course, the real trick will probably getting the follow-on shot scheduled within the time period the dose is effective. Nothing is ever simple anymore.)

Sorrow: In our state (Rhode Island), the vaccination still isn't open to the public yet.

Flooded cellars are seriously no fun. When we moved into a new home in Arlington VA back in 1987, we arrived to find the basement flooded and had to hold up the movers until we got it cleaned and dried. Owed the kids a trip to King's Dominion for that one.

Well we got it cleaned out (just letting the rugs dry now) and fixed the issue that caused it. What happened was the tube for this broke which caused the issues. Thankfully, we got it fixed and all that's left is the drying out of the few rugs we had down there.

Glad to hear that, Sean. It's always nasty business.

Indeed it is.

Joy: The COVID positivity rate in my state is staying below 5%!

Joy: Had a lovely hiking adventure today. Sometimes it's the simple pleasures in life. ^^

Go here for the pics.

What beautiful pictures.

And you're not in any of them.

Hmmm... Is there a connection there?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jan 25, 2021 5:39 am

Yup. I'm ugly.

Also I was behind the camera.

You could have another picture taken in your furry outfit.

No-one who'll send a pot of Vegemite 12000 miles can be said to be ugly.

And is the age of the selfie dead? (Good)

Joy: I think I found a way to make myself sleep a little better and that is to take the comforter off the bed since when I am sleeping on it I end up sweating and waking up!

Post by **SeanWolf** » Mon Jan 25, 2021 12:48 pm

Joy: Basement's clean and rugs are...mostly dried xD

Sorrow: Snow tomorow....
But Joy: Can spend the day playing Batman: Arkham Knight!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jan 26, 2021 1:19 am

Joy: We are getting snow tomorrow but we finally have a snow blower!

I, on the other hand, have only a bent aluminum shovel so .... Wait a minute[/i! We're sheltering in place! We got nowhere to go no how. And there's lots of coffee... So ... snow away there, Winter!

Sorrow: For some reason I don't know why I woke up in a funk today and am easily irritated. I hope it clears up as the day goes on.

Hope you feel cheerier soon, we all get days like that.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jan 26, 2021 12:42 pm

Yeah I am sure I will. I just need to give it time.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:41 pm

I often have those days. I remind myself that, most time, it's something biochemical and will eventually go away. So far, it always has ... but the waiting can be dreary at times.

Maybe I'll outgrow it.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 2:37 am

Joy: The feeling went away pretty fast an hour after I posted here previously!

Good to hear

Joy: I am feeling I have some progress in the online computer animation course

Sorrow: during the course, my mind decided to search those dead celebrities again and I missed important tools to learn.

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 3:53 pm

Thoughts fade over time I guess, I suspect the less you worry about them the quicker they'll go.

Joy, spoke to Dad, he's much better.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 6:48 pm

Sorrow: Because my father never bothered to get up and actually PUT the snowblower together for us before it snowed, we had to manually shovel the driveway ourselves (me and my mother) and I still have a backache from it.

Anyone in particular come into your mind when you do that, Oded?

(whispers a quiet "Yay!" for your Dad.)

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 1:52 am

Dread: We are supposed to be getting another storm soon which is going to take place on Monday and I know we won't have the snowblower put together by then.

Your dad needs to get his tail in gear and do it, Dayzee, bug him relentlessly this weekend.

Great to hear about your father, DDeer!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 10:50 am

Well, the snow came - it's a beauty, just the classic winter scene where the snow is more decorative and purifying than sloppy and nasty. No wind, no rain, and since we've no place to go ... oh ... okay, dear. Missus likes the driveway cleared off before it freezes so, grab the shovel and go.
But it's still quite lovely.

Joy: Was able to wake up this morning and not feel the need to force myself out of bed to get energy as I already had the energy.

SORROW: Guys, I think I might be targeted by a demon. This isn't like, one of my regular pyschotic attacks, I know when I'm having a pyschotic attack. And unless animals constantly attacking you, having vivid nightmares of satanic images, hearing voices when you don't even hear them (I know I have a mental-illness, and this REALLY isn't normal for me!), seeing a random man in dark clothes constantly pace your backyard every night, feeling pyshical pain whenever I read the Christian Bible or hear the pastor preaching is normal, while, I got news for you, it ISN'T. I hope I'm just having a bout of paranoia, but this has been going on FOR MONTHS NOW. It first started in July of 2020, has been happening when I first joined the forum in November, and hasn't stopped since.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:54 am

Joy: Tonight is my mother's last night of work for the week when she worked 4 nights in a row so I don't have to worry about her falling asleep at the well!

DDeer · Post by **DDeer** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 5:48 pm

For my part Rydr I would say this, Religion can offer comfort but superstition is another thing entirely and something that can take over your life if you let it. I'm sure you feel convinced that bad things are after you at this point in time and it must be difficult but hold in there things will hopefully turn a corner and you will be able to see things more rationally.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:25 pm

Rydr, you've been really active in the Housepets community since you've joined so that intensity might be feeding and molding the impressions your subconscious is generating.

Whatever their origins, they are clearly making you anxious and unhappy. I would very strongly encourage you to share these concerns with whatever medical professionals you normally consult. You have my prayers and best wishes, friend.
