It has been a while since I have written anything. I can’t get motivated and nothing inspires me these days. I’ve been in a great deal of pain, so that doesn’t help. Along with the pain comes depression. It’s depressing to be disabled but add to that the fact that we are staying home and each day is the same as the next. Every day I ask, “What freakin’ day is it?”
I missed last Friday’s Funnies post. I looked in my file and found 3 whole funny memes and I didn’t have it in me to look for more. Nothing seems funny lately. Maybe this week will be better but I doubt it. I still have only 3 memes.
I miss my life, such as it was, prior to the pandemic. I didn’t do much then but it was more than I’m able to do now. At least then I had nothing stopping me from going to the grocery store, Walmart, or wherever I wanted to go. Dad and I miss our Saturday outings for lunch. Who would have thought that one day a week in a Mexican restaurant would mean so much?
I made my famous-not-so-famous Stuffed Bell Peppers yesterday. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. It was rough but my peppers turned out delicious and were made possible by a great friend who went to the store for me. She picked up bananas, too so that I can make my Granny’s Banana Bread. It’s actually more like cake because it’s heavy and sweet. The items my friend picked up were things I can’t get online. Since I live out in the middle of nowhere, stores won’t deliver and our local Walmart doesn’t do curbside pickup. Thankfully, we can survive without the items I can’t get online!
Well, for now I have nothing else to write and the hummingbirds are waiting for their sweet water for the day. They drink it almost as fast as I can make it!
Have a great day!

Take it easy, honey. If it ceases to be fun, it becomes like a job.

Writing is still something I enjoy but I’ve lost my mojo. With pain and depression in my life it’s a struggle to even concentrate.

I hope you feel better soon! I know what you mean about missing life before the pandemic. I’ve been feeling the same way. I don’t feel safe going out and I miss shopping favorite stores. Just getting out always makes me feel better.

Yes, getting out and doing ‘normal” things makes a person feel better, more human. It’s just the little things… 💜

I have to agree with the comment above. If it’s no longer fun for you to write your blog, you need a break. But these days, I believe we all need a break from the chaos going on right now. I understand how monotonous staying home for your and dads wellbeing can get. I also guess that your pain level adds to your frustration during this time, and I’m so sorry your feeling like that. I wish there was something I could do to help you feel better, or at the very least help ease the physical pain. Hang in there my dear friend, your stronger than you realize. I also know that depression adds to an already taxing emotional state. Stay strong Deb, sending you love and hugs from me and Snarky Charlie 🤗🤗🥰🥰😸😸😻😻

I am so sorry this pandemic is affecting you this way. I know I think it is a big deal just to get out to go see my doctor on occasion. I have taken a couple of days to just drive to a park and roll my windows down to hear the birds and see a different scenery … it is almost like going out somewhere. I hope you get back your mojo soon. Until then I send positive vibes your way with (((HUGS)))!

Hugs back! Thank you! This pandemic is hard on all of us. I’ve always been a bit of a home-body but I always had the choice to go to the grocery store or post office, or wherever, if I chose to. Those were the “new” good ol’ days. 😛
