Today is not a fun Carlos story. Sorry.
I am generally an optimistic person, but every so often—and by that, I mean maybe twice a year—I get down; I get what I call The Blahs. There’s no explanation; no one did anything; it’s just blah.
Yesterday was blah, and as such, I was extremely quiet. And after breakfast, I took a four-hour nap. Carlos asks if I’m okay, and all I can say is ‘Fine.’
Fine. Fine is blah. At dinner, I apologized for the blah-ness and he asked what was wrong, and I said, everything and nothing; it’s not working; it’s staying home; it’s the virus; it’s the rain. Everything. Nothing.
And he looked at me and said:
“Choose to change your mood.”
Sadly, you can’t change from Blah in a snap, you have to, like a virus sometimes, let it run its course.

I'm much like you. Im in that funk you talk about, the Blahs. I have it too I suspect. BUT Tuxedo helped as usual. I think he needs to be placed here weekly for sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally some good news. It's only two slot filled by good people, but two more we didn't have before!!!!! And yes..... bye to both those assholes. Kamra is going to be real busy here soon.
I do worry about shootings now more than ever. It's been quiet. but now with emotions and cabin fever setting in, I sure hope it doesn't get nuts. But alas....it's only starting sadly, and will be with the virus, claiming lives I'm afraid. The stories have started in the last week alone.
And companies, states and individuals who do not follow quarantine guidelines, then what may happen, let it happen and let it decrease some of the stupidity surplus population.
Hugs and forehead kisses, Bobulah. I suffer from mild to severe depression. Balder Half learned that he couldn't fix it, just let it pass. You see, my resting bitch face can't hold a candle to my active one :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
I believe that sick people with too many guns are the cause of mass shootings, but that's just me

ReplyDeletestay well, stay safe
oh! almost forgot (Tuxedo)
xoxo :-)
Totally normal to be feeling that way Bob, it just means you're human.
ReplyDeleteWho gives away 69 million without checking? Oh wait, yes that's right, "I take no responsibility".
It gives a person hope to see idiots being voted out of office, let's hope that trend continues to November.
I hope the blahs disappear soon, for both you and Tuxedo!
ReplyDeleteFull moon, virus scariness, and most of all politics...who wouldn’t be depressed? Reading your blog helps my mental state more than I can say. Your posts and the other readers’ comments remind me daily that there are still good people in the world. But oh! the bad ones are really really bad these days.
ReplyDeleteI think you should keep "tuxedo says" and rotate it among the 3 cats.
ReplyDeleteasshat MAGAts are having their MAGAt asses handed to them in the voting booth! :)
putzy pence's mom should have had an abortion; same with the dump's mother.
Some days it’s really a chore to snap out of it some days. The pandemic is HEAVY.
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing the COVIDiots do surprises me. Nothing.
Charmaine is my Shero of the day. Yes!
And could I have Mauro to help me with my Portuguese? Please and thank you....
XoXo
I think we all get the blahs sometimes don't we. I mean, rain, not working and "just because". Hope you get over it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard, and sometimes impossible, for people who have never experienced depression or those kinds of "blues" to be able to even comprehend that, sometimes, you can't just change your attitude. I don't think SG every really got it until he himself suffered from panic/anxiety disorder. I know all the things I need to do to help me maintain my equilibrium but sometimes I crash no matter how hard I try. It took me years to understand that it wasn't anything I was doing or not doing. It took SG years longer. Most people are well meaning, like Carlos who adores you. Others are assholes. I've learned to tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a problem yet, but then I'm considered Essential.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm wondering what Yaron's split with Jared was... 50 / 50?
Candice Keller is beginning to understand what Judgment is like.
He may be a Democrat, but Jim Neil is still a bigot.
Utah, it figures.
I get that whole Blahs thing. I've fought with it my whole life, so I know it'll pass but it's horrible when I'm in the middle of it. I think the lack of structure is part of the problem for me right now (plus FB. I really should stay away from there. Turns out too many of my "friends and family" are just plain stupid.) And it does help when some good news pops up. I just hope we have a shit-load of good news come election time!
ReplyDeleteChallenging times, take time, take care of yourself. Do what you know works for you. I need to avoid the news, and find myself closing FB. I do need to take a long drive or two this weekend.
