A Taking it Easy Type of Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I was planning on going to the social security office today however I fell asleep and slept through my alarm. I fell asleep because I was up way too early. Technically, I can still go but that means I would have to wait a lot longer. I am now planning on going on Wednesday as I have appointments tomorrow (Tuesday).

I am not really not planning on doing much today as the lack of sleep I got last night and I am not feeling all that well. I am not even planning on going to Art Group due to the fact that I am not feeling well. It is disappointing that I won’t be able to attend Art Group however I would rather get better today so I can see my therapist tomorrow as well as my primary care physician (pcp).

On that note, I am planning on taking it easy by reading the Star Wars book I started reading yesterday. I am loving the book. It is such an easy read. Something what I call eye candy.

Thank you for reading. I greatly appreciate all of you. Have an incredible day everyone and Peace Out, World.

Up Way Too Early

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I woke up at three o’clock in the morning in my neck of the wood and have been unsuccessful in getting back to sleep. So, when I was unable to get back to sleep I decided to make myself some hot chocolate and listen to a podcast about philosophy. When I listen to a podcast, I take notes on them. I take notes on the podcast so I can look up the information myself. I do this so I can educate myself to the best of my ability as well as know what the hell I am discussing when I talk about it to others.

After listening to a podcast and looking things up, I decided to read. Read my Star Wars book that I recently got. I am highly enjoying the book. I haven’t read any of the Star Wars books till I started the one I am reading yesterday (Sunday). It is an easy read.

I think I am going to end this post and go back to reading. Thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated on my end. You all are extremely awesome. Have a very good day. Peace Out, World!!!

 

My Saturday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! I have had a good day. I first had lunch with my family to celebrate my uncle’s birthday. He liked the card I made him as well as the picture I painted for him. He know where he is “going to put it.”

After lunch with my family I hung out with a friend from elementary school and junior high. I made her spaghetti as it is her favorite meal. It was nice to see her. We hang out every two months or so.

Now that my friend left, I am blogging about my day. I now plan on reading one of my new books. A Star Wars book. I am looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

Time With Grandpa

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! I am visiting my grandpa right now. My grandpa is doing well. We have been playing Monopoly most of the visit and are taking a break. I am enjoying my time with him. I am visiting him because we are both having trouble with grief over my grandma.

Missing my grandma is difficult and that is why I am keeping myself busy. Busy with various things.  Spending time with people like my grandpa and later on with Junior and some of our friends.

Another way I have been keeping myself busy is reading. Reading has been one of my go to things as of lately to help me. To help me through some difficult moments.

Thank you for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

Saturday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am still struggling with some depression from yesterday. Not sure why but I am. I am also dealing with some anxiety. My weighted blanket has been a life saver the last couple of days.

Right now I am figuring out what I am going to do for the day. I already know that I will be working on my workbooks as well as read. I will also be spending time with Junior and our friends to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Thank you for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

Depression Strikes, Again

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! Right now I am struggling with depression and anxiety. I am not sure why as it was an overall good day. Symptoms come at the most inopportune time especially those associated with PTSD.

I have been doing my workbook on mindfulness. It has been quite helpful for me working this workbook as well as the other workbooks I am doing. I am finding that using mindfulness is helping me with my reactivity and how I respond to things.

I also ordered three Star Wars books from Amazon as they were giving deals on Star Wars stuff. I got one of the books for free. I am looking forward to reading the Star Wars books as I am a huge fan of the Movies.

Speaking of reading I read today as well. I am finally getting some where in one of the books I am reading. It is finally getting good. I love to read.

Thank you for reading. May the 4th be with you. Peace Out, World!!

Wednesday Afternoon Rambilings

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! As, I mentioned in my last post I went out to lunch with some friends. Spending time with friends helped my anxiety a great deal. I am beyond grateful that spending time with friends helped me and my anxiety.

After coming home from lunch I attempted to take a nap due to not getting sleep last night. I, unfortunately, was unable to sleep due to the fire alarm going off again. This time it wasn’t a false alarm like it normally is. Someone had a grease fire from cooking. Not sure what they were cooking but I am sure it is not edible now.

Now, I am going to reading one of the books I am reading. A book that I am enjoying immensely. I encourage you to read Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb.

Have a great afternoon. Thank you for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!

Fighting Off High Anxiety

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am have some high anxiety again. Anxiety that appears to come and go as it pleases. I just don’t understand why it is so high lately. I think part of my high anxiety today is due to not sleeping. Having no sleep adds to my symptoms of the mental health diagnosis I struggle with.

I think I am going to be working on one of my workbooks. I am not sure which one yet but I will be working on one of them. They appear to be helping me in multiple ways. They are helping me better myself.

Another thing that has been quite helpful as of lately is reading. I am really enjoying the books I am reading. Yes, I am reading multiple books. I am enjoying them immensely.

Thanks for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

 

Is It Too Much To Ask For Sleep

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is three o’clock in the morning and I haven’t been to sleep yet. I have been keeping myself busy by reading. Reading appears to be of help to me. Especially on nights where I am unable to sleep. Reading is so much more fun than watching middle of the night television. Television that is nothing but infomercials.

I have also been working on my workbook. A workbook that is geared toward folks with insomnia who struggle with depression and anxiety. I am only on the first chapter but so far I am finding it helpful.

I am grateful that I have the abilities to help myself through not being able to sleep. Yes, insomnia suck shit but I am able to help myself. I am able to help myself by reading, doing workbooks, blogging and other such things.

Thanks for reading. I hope to be able to get some sort of sleep. Have a great morning even if it is still the middle of the night for you. Peace Out, World!!!
