It’s hard to believe all this happened just four short years ago.
Lily Kwan
My day is going okay. Thanks for asking!
clojo9372
I had a nice afternoon with my Mom. We are rewatching Dynasty. Brings back a lot of memories for me from my childhood. The acting was way over the top but I still love the clothes! 🙂
lissa crane
My day is going great! I had a shopping trip and lunch, to take advantage of the early 4th of July sales, with my two favorite girls-my daughters! It was a very nice day!
ginette4
Had a great junking day with my sister and Mom and we had some Maine lobster!
Kristen
I’m happy to say I’ve had a productive day so far 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
I had another bad night’s sleep again. I’ll have to start using my sleep apnoea machine again, darn it! No wonder I sleep alone – I’m asthmatic, got cold sores, a wonky leg, apnoea AND I sleep on just a board because of my back! Who’d have me?
Kobi Hensley
It’s only noon here but so far so good. Nothing exciting has happened but nothing bad either 🙂
Christine Burd
I am heading to zumba class and trying to decide if I want to walk the half hour there and back . Looks a little dark and gloomy , might be caught in the rain.
clojo9372
My shoulders and arms are killing me.. All I did was yoga! I guess it was all that up dog/down dog stuff… I am gonna finish up my work today and then spend my afternoon with my mother. 🙂
Mai T.
Last day of the month! I can’t wait for another week to go by before my vacation starts! Flight tickets booked!
Tamra Phelps
It was a pretty good day here. My niece hit an inside the park grand slam during her softball game, so she’s happy, lol. It wasn’t too hot, not humid, so a great day.
Sarah L
Good swim class today with one new person. Last class for a week since I’ll be downtown at the GALA Festival.
clojo9372
The sun came out today! I did my yoga and worked on my abs. I am not getting on the scale because that will just depress me. I feel better about how I look even if the number won’t justify it, so it’s best for me not to look. LOL. 🙂
Robyn Bellefleur
My day is going great so far. Taking a break from working in the garden on a nice sunny day and actually getting some chores done.
Cathy French
Today I’ve got a sink full of dishes, a bathtub that really needs cleaned and so many other chores I need to try to at least start today
KATE SARSFIELD
Today was all set for being a busy sort-the-house-out day as the weather forecast was for showers all day. What happened? I woke with the alarm, switched it off and woke up at almost lunchtime! Now my head’s all muzzy and I’m trying to do too many things at once!
michele soyer
Up and going today.. I feel energized nd very positive.. Laundry is hanging out and breakfast is done… the rest of my day I have not figured out as yet but it will be productive!
Christy Caldwell
It’s only 5:45 am, but so far so good for a Wednesday. I’m up way too early, but I’m alive. ?
Mai T.
I will be going to the hairdresser’s today and I feel nervous that she might mess up my hair. It’s so difficult to find one you’re satisfied with.
Hayley
My day was kind of lame today. PMS combined with moody friends, one of which is moving across the country and the other who is just depressed and seemingly beyond my reach. It’s hard to not really have any close friends some days. I’m sure tomorrow will be better, I’m taking my little one to the grand opening of a new bargain store called Ollie’s with our nana in the morning.
Cheryl B
Another beautiful Summer day! Hope you had a good day!
Tamra Phelps
My nephews were here most of the day, in between each of their baseball games. The youngest (7) got the game ball in his game! So, he was thrilled! Pretty good day.
Ann
My day was kind of typical, but my recollection of it is pretty hazy. Took a nap or two. Had pain that Tylenol can’t kill; still hurts right now. Tired; unwell.
margaret peg m.
Our granddaughter had stitches removed from her lip today, she was attacked by a pit bull on her street that bit off part of her upper lip. She is 4 and a real trooper!
Sarah L
Got a haircut today in preparation for GALA Festival. Have started packing.
clojo9372
Today was a very rainy day. I got my cardio and strength training in and I was able to get all of my scheduled work done. It was a good day and very productive. 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
Dad would have been 83 today so feeling a bit down generally – I miss our chats and the sheer physicality of the man – he was such a big bloke, the place seems too big for us now.
ginette4
Having a blast on my trip to my sister’s..we went 4 wheeling today! so much fun
Angie S
My day is absolutely fantastic! I’m working part time during the summer so I’m home with my almost 7 year old daughter at the moment. We’re enjoying our sleeping in, reading through the Harry Potter series, going to the movies during the day and so much more!
Time with my girl, I can never complain!
michele soyer
Great beginning to my day… have a nice chat with an old girlfriend.. Nice to catch up and hear how happy she is…
Scott MacMillan
The sun is bright and there is a nice cooling breeze wafting from the lake.The makings of a great day.
Mai T.
Bought the tickets to Berlin and Paris yesterday. Oh boy they are expensive! But I can’t stop being excited about the trip.
Katy
Today was great! My daughter and I were able to play outside a few times and we had fun running general errands. A good Monday overall!
HollyW
My day was a great one today. I took a long walk an went shopping. I am about to call it a night now.
Daniel M
my day is going really badly, why is everything falling apart.. again…
clojo9372
Another power outage today. They are very inconvenient. Wasn’t able to get what I wanted done, done. So I had to improvise…
Sarah L
Good swim class then a trip to the bank to get a gift card to carry around next week when I’m at GALA and a trip to Costco for a bunch of stuff.
Ann
The fun just never stops. Need to see a dentist, but am having major problems over here. Under state law I can’t pay out-of-pocket for dental care. The rest of the story is just complicated, stupid insurance crap.
Cancelled my 4th of July trip, b/c I just put myself on the wait list for a couple Dr. appts.
KATE SARSFIELD
Drove Mum up to hospital in Dublin for an MRI to see if the cancer has been reduced. Results in a couple of days (I’ll have no finger nails left!).
Cathy French
today I’m starting to feel back to normal after sleeping all day yesterday. Baking my boyfriend a birthday cake, he’s 44 today.
nancy munson
My day is going good. I am drinking coffee, went grocery shopping, got some laundry and dishes done, playing with my essential oils, that’s about it!
Linda Manns Linneman
I am having another Jesus filled day. I continue to get alot of cleaning done. I can’t do alot in one day as I am having problems with my back. My grandchildren are gone with their mother for the week. I thought I would get some deep cleaning done while I can. Have a great day. God Bless
ginette4
Having a beautiful vacation day with family 🙂
Katy
Today is good. I was worried because my toddler daughter and I didn’t sleep well last night, but we’ve done some fun low-key things around the house and should get a decent nap on in a few minutes- that always makes me happy!
Tammy Iler
I’m having a great day despite having to work lol
Chrissy
Today is going ok. I feel slightly overwhelmed trying to plan my child’s first birthday party since my whole family is coming into town meaning 12 extra people staying with us on top of planning everything!!!
michele soyer
I am off and running this Monday morning.. sun is out and there is gardening to do as well as lawn work after all that rain so here I go…..
Mai T.
I’m thinking about a trip to South Korean during an autumn month but it costs greatly. Sometimes when it comes to vacation, YOLO is the only option.
Tamra Phelps
It’s been too quiet around here today. My brother’s family has gone out of town for my oldest nephew’s baseball tournament, so kids have not been going in & out all day, lol. And I’ve been looking up every so often, thinking “this is too dang quiet.”
Linda Manns Linneman
I had a great day today. I started it out with a cup of coffee watching Charles Stanley. I then got alot of deep cleaning done. We also got some rain to help our grass, plants, etc. God Bless
Sarah L
Quiet day at home and now off to our last rehearsal before GALA.
Ann
Starting to plan a trip to visit my ex in a week or so, in part to figure out whether I’m going to be a suburban stepmom. Also trying to decide whether to shred or burn (or both, maybe?) my CV.
Cathy French
Today I’m just exhausted and tired. Ugh, hoping it gets better later
Michelle C
My day is going very well. It’s Sunday so I’m planning on spending lots of time with my family and we are going to go out for pizza!
KATE SARSFIELD
Mum has to go to Dublin (5 hour round drive) so I’m just checking the car’s oil, water & tyres etc. It’s an early start so an early-to-bed evening ahead of us.
clojo9372
It’s Sunday! I love Sunday. I have a lot of fun projects to work on today. I plan to enjoy myself while doing it. 🙂
michele soyer
I am feeling happy and grateful today for all the things I have emotional spiritual and physical.. My family makes me feel loved and proud to be their wife and mum….Great day!
Mai T.
We are doing some planning for next month’s trip. It’s so expensive when purchase close to departure date. But YOLO!
clojo9372
Today was a good day. Did a little work and did my cardio kickboxing. Then I had some pizza! Probably undid the good I did with the workout but it was worth it! I love pizza and I hadn’t had it in a while! 🙂
Sarah L
Had a good rehearsal this morning (too early) with 400 other singers. Only one week til we sing at the GALA Festival.
Jan Lee
My day is going ok. Nothing big, did some chores, played some games. Hope to go to bed and sleep after I read some in my new book 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
Visited Dad & put fresh roses from our garden on the grave. He was a terrific rose grower and I only hope I can remember all he taught me. Otherwise, the village is still in shock after the death of one of the young men in a crash. Numb.
Linda Manns Linneman
I am having a great day. Getting alot of house cleaning done. Hope your day is great also.
Kristen
My day’s going well….had a nice breakfast/lunch with last night’s leftovers, now we’re heading out to the Farmers’ Market.
Ann
I am literally, physically, nodding off right now. …I think. I’m pretty sure.
ginette4
Having a great day..sun is shining and we’re off to the pool
michele soyer
I tis an absolutely gorgeous Saturday .. laundry hanging out and I am going to make some pizza dough so we can have a pizza party today….
Mai T.
My mom is always complaining about others while she’s not really a model herself. This is due to lifestyle and upbringing. I cannot criticize her but sometimes I’m annoyed.
Sarah L
Good swim class then went to ARC for their .99 cent sale. Got 3 pants & one top for $4.
Ann
My day was pretty– oh, whatever.
~ * ~ * ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! ~ * ~ * ~ Wooooooo!!!!!!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

I like the Women’s Drawstring Backpack in black. This would be great for work to put all my ‘things’ in.
polly
It is a nice HOT day in California. Enjoying my day off and also the weekend off. Life is Grand!
ginette4
great day today..had my first facial and it was amazing..love being pampered
KATE SARSFIELD
We got some awful news yesterday evening that has really affected everyone in the village and surrounding area: the lady who works in the village pub/shop lost her mother at Christmas, then her brother and yesterday her youngest son was killed on his way to work. And here’s me complaining because I can’t wear high heels any more. It’s just too awful to even comprehend.
Tamra Phelps
That kind of thing, happening one after the other, must be horrible for her. Just overwhelming sadness that doesn’t end, I think. (Especially losing her child.) I hope she finds the strength to get through!
KATE SARSFIELD
Well, she wasn’t doing so good after her brother died (suicide) about 6 weeks ago so now this? She’s got her faith so that’s going to help I suppose. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain she’s going through.
Linda Manns Linneman
I am having a blessed day. God is so good. I hope yours is well also
Debbie Campbell
Well this has been a long week, but at least it is Friday! My work day is almost over and I’m not too busy today, so that is a plus!
clojo9372
My day has just begun! It looks like it will be a sunny day. We had a lot of rain the past few days…
michele soyer
The sun is out and my husband is already in the garden … I did all my weekly baking yesterday so I am free today to do anything I please.. I see a great day filled with music and books…..
Mai T.
What a great nice day! It’s the mid-summer vacation of the Nordic country so we have an extra day off. It’s precious!
Ann
My day was… sad. Yeah, I think that’s probably the best word to describe it.
clojo9372
Today wasn’t a very rainy day but it was cool and comfortable. I got some work done and am having a pleasant evening.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Warmer than yesterday but still not as hot as 104 degrees.
Kristen
My day is kinda sucking….I am frustrated because I didn’t plan ahead!
ginette4
Baked a cake for my daughter’s upcoming birthday..I won’t be here to celebrate but there will be a homemade chocolate cake
KATE SARSFIELD
Last night I got up ‘cos I couldn’t sleep (got a temperature) and took the plunge: I’ve ordered a new bed & mattress! My old divan is falling asunder as several cats have used it as a scratching post! No more spending till Christmas!
michele soyer
I think I have to vent today.. I really dislike it when people lie to you and play games.. I am at an age that games just do not fly.. Tell me the truth and let me move on please….Now I feel better!
Mai T.
I had a blast with the girls in the capital city. I met a cute guy and hope to meet him again.
margaret peg m.
Today is a GREAT day in Cleveland, Ohio…celebrating our Cavaliers basketball teams great national win. Recognizing the Champions!
clojo9372
It poured all morning and we had another power outage. But besides that it was a good day. 🙂
Sarah L
So glad it was cooler today than the 104 degrees we had yesterday. Good swim class then home.
Ann
I thought it was supposed to rain already, today. Just a few sprinkles on the windowpane. I really wish it would rain.
ginette4
Feeling amazing today..went for a bike ride with my daughter..nice time
KATE SARSFIELD
My sister arrived with a load of packing cases for the recycling bin and of course she didn’t squash them so the bins were overflowing. I emptied the lot onto the grass & started to flatten them but slipped & fell. I was so scared I’d undone all the ligament transplant surgery but I think it’s ok just a bit achey.
Francine Anchondo
It is going well. I am going to take my kids swimming in a little bit .
michele soyer
The sun is shining today so all is well in my world.. Laundry already up and starting to make breakfast…
Ann
My neighbor across the street had a whole bunch of yellow irises (like bulbs, sort of– I’m a super-novice “gardener”), and I went over and talked with her for a bit. I got 3 shopping bags’ full! Also got the same amount in mosquito bites. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. (Grrr…)
clojo9372
I had a very good day. It was kind of laaaaazy. I didn’t do much at all. LOL.
Cheryl B
Oh, what a beautiful day! I hope you had a great day!
Natalie
I hurt myself running last week so I am in pain this week. Other than that, I had a good day.
Sarah L
Bleh. Current temp 104 degrees at 4:38pm. Sorry, but that’s too hot. Just staying inside today.
Sarah Phillips
Today is actually my birthday, so I’m having a great day! 🙂 I’m stuffed full of cake and feeling happy and loved.
KATE SARSFIELD
Nothing out of the ordinary at all today. Sill feeling sneezy & chilly so just did the bare minimum of housework then a trip to town to stock up on Mum’s meds etc.
ginette4
Today I went and got a haircut..seems that every time I go I get it cut shorter and shorter..lol
Cathy French
Today I’m catching up on laundry. Have a bad habit of leaving them in the machines for a couple days. ugh
michele soyer
My husband is going to Sams Club today to pick up a small beverage refrigerator for the patio downstairs.. Since down there was my moms apartment when she passed away we sort of used it when guests come..Even with the kitchen we need a small frig for outside for parties.. Off he goes….
Sarah L
Today was 20 degrees cooler than yesterday’s 100. However the rest of the week is going to be HOT!
Ann
My day… was pretty typical; ordinary. Unremarkable, I guess. I felt kind of “off” for most of the day, though. Maybe that’s typical, too. I dunno.
Linda Manns Linneman
Today has been a rough day. My grandchildren were at each other and my stove quit working. I am praying for a better day tomorrow
ginette4
Had a good day today..spent the morning with my sister and Mom, had a good time
clojo9372
Today it was POURING just like yesterday, but I didn’t mind. At least the power didn’t go! LOL. It was a good day. 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
Ugh! I’ve caught a cold from all the dashing around in the rain I’ve been doing lately. I just made myself some homemade veggie soup (in JUNE, for heaven’s sake)!
Cheryl B
I’m enjoying this sunny day! Have a marvelous Monday!
Francine Anchondo
My day is going good . I just have to get myself in gear to start packing.
michele soyer
today is not only the solstice but a full moon….what could that probably vibration wise bring to the day… well it is pouring here right now and I am trying to think sun!
Kristen
Not a great day for me unfortunately….I spent in sick in bed 🙁
ginette4
Had a great day today..spent the day with 2 of the most amazing Dad’s and family
barbg
My day is going great today. My kids & I went to Bubba’s Grill here in Indianapolis and enjoyed a delcious meal. The service was even great! I love that they 28 TV’s going at one time. It was pretty awesome. The Bacon Cheeseburgers are excellent.
Sarah L
Had two great concerts yesterday. Today is too hot: 100 degrees. Good thing I don’t have to go out.
Linda Manns Linneman
I am having a wonderful day celebrating Fathers Day with my son and grandchildren. Hope you enjoy your day
KATE SARSFIELD
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and grandfathers etc. out there, especially those who for whatever reason can’t be with us today.
michele soyer
Experiencing a power outage right now.. There was a torrential downpour with thunder then wind….Well doing my best to make this Fathers Day a good day anyway!
clojo9372
Had another blackout today. It’s a shame because it’s Father’s Day… but we made the best of it. I wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who read the blog! 🙂
ginette4
Had a busy day..getting things ready for Father’s Day tomorrow
clojo9372
Much better day than yesterday! We had barbecue this afternoon and it was delicious!
KATE SARSFIELD
It’s the summer blessing of the graves and remembrance service in the graveyard on Father’s Day so I popped up to make sure Dad’s grave was clean and weed-free!
Linda Manns Linneman
My day is starting out great. I had my cup of coffee. The grandchildren are getting ready to go to Busch Gardens. The sun is shining.
michele soyer
Planned to have a BBQ today and feel so lucky that we have the grill under the carport so rain or shine it goes on for my husband….
szynkers
Great day for me cant wait for this giveaway
Sarah L
I’m off to bed. Have to get up pretty early and have a tech rehearsal and then two concerts on Saturday.
Diane Richards
It’s Friday! Weekend is finally here. Looking forward to seeing an old friend at a concert on Saturday and escaping for an over nigh trip in the Sierras 🙂
Feeling Blessed!
Wishing everyone a great Father’s Day Weekend!
Rajeeva
its morning the 18th. it started ok. lets hope it stays that way
clojo9372
Today started out nice but it didn’t last that way unfortunately. I am hoping to have a better day tomorrow. 🙂
Sarah L
Good swim class, but small. Then had lunch at Smashburger. Then went to Kohls to spend the $10 they sent me on a new pair of slippers. Had to pay $2.71 for them. (Dearfoams half off)
Natalie
I had a great day at work today! I am so happy that it is Friday!
ginette4
Had a great day today..breakfast with Mom and sister, went to the market then spent the afternoon with daughter went to the spa and got manicures 🙂
Ann
Fed up (still, and always) with having very literally no money. I think most people couldn’t imagine what that’s like… Anyway, I’m watching a little rabbit in my neighbor’s yard, through the window. It’s really cute.
KATE SARSFIELD
Finally managed to get the bedding washed & dry after all the storms this week. Then spent some time tidying up the wind-swept gardens.
michele soyer
Today is a rather painful sad day.. I just got news that a friend’s daughter at the age of 32 passed away… We lost our son at the age of 38 so I empathize with her so much….
Cheryl B
It’s finally Friday! Have a good weekend!
Dianna
I had a great day. I’m off work for the summer and enjoy every minute of it! I hope you had a good day, too.
Ann
Today had its ups and downs. I found a box of really nice clothes in a box labeled “Donate/Sell.” They used to be WAY too small for me, but now they fit! Finally, I have a few items of clothing that actually fit! …On the “minus” side, yesterday my mother said that I look “like a ghost.” Made me kind of… sad.
Natalie
I had a great day at work today. It was busy but not TOO busy to be overwhelming.
Sarah L
Had to get up WAY too early. But it was for a good thing: got my infusion after missing it for 2 weeks due to the cold I had.
ginette4
Went to my specialist today..more test to be done but on a happier note my daughter and son and law might be expecting..it’s a great day!
KATE SARSFIELD
I hardly slept last night because of the thunder & really heavy rain so today I’m tired and cranky and afraid to open my mouth in case I bite someone’s head off!
Francine Anchondo
It is going pretty well going being really busy today.
clojo9372
Today is a good day! I have the house all to myself. I did some yoga which gave my muscles a much needed break from training and jumping. I am enjoying the rest of my day! 🙂
Cheryl B
After a stormy, rocking and rolling night, I am really sleepy today.
michele soyer
Getting ready to hit the stores today.. Sams Club then other grocery stores then the Mall.. I do enjoy this once a month shopping trip!
Mai T.
The shoes I ordered from Amazon were across the globe shipped even faster than shoes I buy domestically. It’s funny how logistics work sometimes.
Ann
I went to give you some Klout, and got a fun little message letting me know that I’m some kind of expert on Target.
I just busted out laughing.
Actually it is a bit sad… Off and on throughout today, I thought about how I’d like to just go to Target like any other person and simply BUY some crap. But nope! No dinero. Having no money, literally NO MONEY, is… I can’t even begin to explain how horrifying, the experience.
But, I’m a Target expert. Cool.
Sarah L
Great massage and then a good swim class.
ginette4
My day is doing so well today..feeling good and getting things done
Kristen
Sorry to say my day is not going great so far….have been sick and seem to be getting worse instead of better….bah! 🙂 (still in mostly good spirits though!)
Francine Anchondo
My day is going pretty well so far. It is really hot outside again like it has been all this week.
KATE SARSFIELD
It’s still raining cats & dogs over here in my little corner of Ireland. The ‘sunny south-east’ – ha! However, that means I can concentrate on getting some housework (ugh) done instead of pottering about in the garden (sigh!).
clojo9372
I am feeling much better than I did yesterday or Sunday. My throat is still a little sore but nowhere near as bad as it was. I am gonna catch up on the work I didn’t finish yesterday.
michele soyer
Sitting here with my coffee trying to figure out what to get my husband for fathers day….what does one get the man who has everything??? A gift card of course….
Mai T.
The embassy does not accept the worldwide insurance I bought, it demands the insurance to say only the specific area my mom is traveling to. What a ridiculous thing to demand!
Ann
This morning, last-minute canceled a Dr. appt. that had been scheduled over a month ago due to being too sick. I felt so bad and guilty about canceling, in large part because I myself was once a practitioner, and HATED– well, what I hated was no-shows. And this is apples and oranges.
I think I might be really sick, like sick-sick. Former colleague of mine, who are all now doctors of various types, have suggested that it might be [various bad things]. My father’s mother passed away when she was a couple years younger than I am now.
Connie Gruning
Oh Ann! Prayers headed your way!!
KATE SARSFIELD
Thinking of you Ann. Please seek advice.
Ann
Thank you both. Your words mean a lot to me. <3
Sarah L
Just a lovely quiet day at home. FedEx brought me a prize I’d won with cheese, cutting board, apron and a stuffed cow.
clojo9372
I have a sore throat today. Came out of nowhere! And now I have a headache. I think I must be coming down with something. Other than that, it’s A VERY good day and I am happy. 🙂
Connie Gruning
ME TOO!!! Except, I’m pretty sure I got mine from Alice!
KATE SARSFIELD
We’ve had monsoon-like rain & thunderstorms all day so my plans to go out to buy myself a new bed were scuppered. A canoe might come in handy though if it doesn’t let up soon!
ginette4
Feeling so much better today..I’m baking bread 🙂
michele soyer
Just thinking about my childhood and how great it was… growing up an olny child I never ever felt lonely..Happy memories….
Ann
More of the same over here. I think. …I’ve been so down lately. Have I? …Thinking about my life, and how everything fell apart– and so horribly and entirely, too. I can’t even begin to explain. …And once again, an awareness that This Is The Internet.
It’s been a terrible day. Also, I feel like my entire GI system (stomach, etc.) is turning inside out. I’m just… hungry. And sick.
I shouldn’t post this.
Tamra Phelps
My youngest nephew spent the day here. He had a new game, so I spent the day playing BRYNK with him. It really thrills him when he beats me, lol.
Sarah L
Good swim class today. Then big rainstorm on the way home but got my car in the garage before the hail came.
clojo9372
I had a better day today than yesterday. Did my cardio and worked on my abs. I feel better about myself today and I’ve lost a few pounds! I still have more weight to take off but I feel like I’ve made some progress!!! 🙂
ginette4
Day is not going so well..so nauseous today, need to slow down or I’m going to get sick..hate not being healthy..hope your day is going better than mine.
Mai T.
My mom was informed her visa is issued today. What a great news! I can’t wait for next week to come.
Cathy French
Today I feel like my self again. After the funeral and finding out about the will and me being omitted from it, sigh, I at least know what day it is without having to look at the calendar.
KATE SARSFIELD
Dreadful news about Orlando – we just can’t get our heads around American gun culture.
michele soyer
Well the sun is shining and all is well in my world.. I have to tackle the closets today we shall see how many I get done before I get fed up.. it is all good though..
Ann
This day just flew by, as too many of them do. Stress, worry, anguish, sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, and a general “what in the world am I going to do?!” about finances dominated/controlled much of my day/thoughts; this is unfortunately very, very typical.
KATE SARSFIELD
Pardon my intrusion Ann. I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone. So many of us feel the same helplessness and anxiety, but you know what? You got through yesterday and many days like it. It takes strength to do that. Take care of yourself.
Sarah L
Sadness in my heart over the Orlando shootings. Chorus rehearsal tonight will be subdued.
clojo9372

Mum decided she was well enough to play the organ in Church for the first time in 8 weeks. The choir gave her a beautiful bouquet, so thoughtful of them.

Another rainy Sunday. That is fine by me.. After breakfast and the papers I plan on relaxing today and enjoying the rain and the day!

Had again a talk with friends til 3AM and it was so much fun! It’s so depressing to think about the next working week of hell.
Ann
I HATE SUMMER. I cannot stand the heat, the sun, the humidity, the lack of humidity, any lack of breeze, bugs, everything. Hate it, hate it, hate it. It makes me so flippin’ irritable. I hate it. Hate it. Whine whine whine. Waaaaaahhh. I have really, really fair skin! I turn pink like THAT!
Actually, I’m not really in all that bad of a mood. Despite everything, hah.
(Hi, Ms. Connie! Happy weekend! 🙂 )
Sarah L
An interesting rehearsal for our big 400 person mixed choirs. It was too hot.

Natalie
I am having a good day so far. I just got done working and am looking forward to taking a nap.
Nancy
They have many great bags to choose from. This is one of my favorites in their line up: Simple Rivets Messenger Handbag Shoulder Bag Ladies Tote Cross body Bags in Brown.
Nancy
They have a lovely selection of affordable bags. I have never understood why so many purses are so over priced.
Nancy
My Saturday is going great. I hope yours is fun as well. It is going to be very hot here today – all the way into the 90’s!

KATE SARSFIELD
What to do? What to do? Last night the kitten arrived home with a rabbit (dead) and took it up a tree in the front garden where he left it! I’m sitting here looking out at it and I can’t find anything long enough to reach it & I’m not going up a ladder with my dodgy knee. Perhaps the crows will discover it & deal with the problem for me!
Cheryl B
Fantastic Friday, Summer break has finally arrived!
michele soyer
Well today I have decided to change my kitchen curtains and canistersall that stuff to bring a little of summer into my cooking space…

Having a great day, making plans to visit daughter this weekend,
KATE SARSFIELD
Last night my back was so bad that I got rid of my mattress & put a thick quilt on the boards I have underneath – bliss! So that’s my mind made up – no more mattresses for me!
Maureen
I could use some more sleep.
michele soyer
I have the laundry going and there are probably 3 more loads to go.. Where do I get all this laundry from? Then I think I will clean the top of the frig and the hanging pot rack…I plan on having a positive happy day…

Kristen
Good day….recycling and voting….now spending some time online….looking forward to a nice lunch….then maybe some grocery shopping….
Ann
[Still] feeling awful; it’s become a lot more physical now. Sick sick sick. I truly can’t remember the last time that I could say I felt well, or maybe even “decent.” And the STRESS, making all of that so much worse.
ginette4
Just fine over here..a little cold today but all is well 🙂
Cathy French
Today I’m biding time until I have to go to my dr appointment. Happier today than yesterday which is a plus.
KATE SARSFIELD
UGH! The farmers are now spreading slurry on their fields (for the uninitiated, slurry is animal poo) so we can’t even open the windows. Luckily rain is forecast – not often we say that in Ireland!
Maureen
The weather is cool just before we are supposed to get into the 90’s later this week. Enjoying the cool.
michele soyer
Rainy again.. I think I might beg to see the sun.. Day is going well and I think I will get some well needed baking done today and clean around the high parts of the kitchen..
Mai T.
My PMS is here and the run is tomorrow. I hate this. Sometimes I really wish I was a boy. A girl’s life is tough.
Edmond
Good Golly Miss Molly , just reading some books. Not done much. . Wow, prize $50 gc is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. 🙂 Pick me, pick me! Dear Santa: I’ve been nice. My X-Mas wish this year is to win this contest.

I feel… like absolute hell. Very much aware that this isn’t my personal diary and that this is The! Internet!, I’ll go against character and just say… Things are bad. Bad-bad.
Sarah L
Went to the other pool to meet my friend, but she didn’t show up. Had a good swim anyway.
ginette4
Great day today, parents came by for a visit
Cathy French
Still playing catch up from yesterday. With the funeral last week seems I haven’t gotten anything done.
KATE SARSFIELD
Just take your time Cathy. This isn’t a race to see who can get back to ‘normality’ the quickest. Take as long as you need.
amber lee kolb
My day is going pretty good!! I am just about to leave work and go home and plan my grocery list. I need to get thrifty because my job is ending at the end of the month.
KATE SARSFIELD
It’s a holiday over here in Ireland so I haven’t even bothered to get dressed yet! I’ve had a back ache since mowing the lawn & intend to just soak in the bath & take it easy.
clojo9372
It is raining really hard and I feel like sleeping in. But I can’t it is Monday afterall… LOL! 🙂

Happy Monday.. it is pouring outside and the thought of having to leave the house is not pleasant, so I believe I will put things off until tomorrow.. Feeling great though the weather is awful…

It’s a waiting week for me since I’m expecting the result of my mom’s application. I hope she’ll get it so I can have a fun summer vacation with her.

We got a taste of summer with a long stretch of hot weather. I can’t handle the heat!

Long rehearsal today. 375 singers practicing for our July 2nd performance. Still have cold.
Ann
MS. CONNIE! Seriously, I have not said hi to you in so so long. I want to know how YOU are! (I literally just paused a moment.)
BRIEFLY (ha…)…
I didn’t go to bed last night: went grocery shopping for a few hours (3+? ugh) in the middle of the night. We had NO FOOD. I had been eating PB&J on just one slice of bread, and then we ran out of J. Then I’d have PB and bread. Then, alternating between PB and bread. Ugghhhhh. I hate… I… I hate… being poor. I wasn’t supposed to be… poor. (Who is?) …Goddamn. Just, damn.
(Sorry for swears.)
Hope you’re doing well. I’ve missed it around here.
Ann
Oh, no! It’s happening again. I’m not able to log in to the entry form. (That’s why I was out last month.)
I think that posting that TMI comment (just above) was the last thing I had to do here for today. After submitting it, I had to re- log in to the entry form… And now I can’t. I’m just shut out. I’ve tried refreshing the page, starting a new tab… I’ll keep trying. 🙁
Ann
I got it to work on my phone. Whew… I’m glad to have a phone again; I didn’t have one for eight weeks. 🙁 But it’s all good now, I think. Have a good night!
Liberty
Just got off night shift. Slept for a couple of hours. My grandson come and checked on me early this morning. So being I got up I made him waffles. We had a great day!!!
Cheryl B
We had a wonderful weekend. Hope you did as well.
Sean Cuthill
It is hot again. It makes for a nice weekend but the heat can be overwhelming.
KATE SARSFIELD
I didn’t do a heck of a lot today but what I did do took HOURS! The ride-on mower is still waiting for a spare part so I decided to use our old rotary one. We have almost 2 acres of lawn! Am I mad? What was I thinking?
Cathy French
Today I’m playing catch up on all my emails and saved giveaways
Maureen
It is a Sunday–day of rest hopefully it will be good. So far so good.
Melissa Storms
I am feeling lucky this morning because my cat was waiting at the door to be let in. She somehow managed to get out of the house by pulling out the guards around the air conditioner. There are lots of coyotes here and I never let her out at night. We will be taking care of her escape route today.
michele soyer
Sunday yes!… having breakfast with ,my daughter.. husband out in the garden.. happy to relax and read and listen to music today.. no housework1

Jill Rivera
I just want say I can think today. I did not realize I had a fever and was sick yesterday.
Maureen
Do do I need to learn to relax. I am stressed out.
KATE SARSFIELD
The farmers all around us are busy cutting grass in the fields till 2 in the morning so I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep ‘cos of the noise & sneezing. But it’s a holiday weekend here in Ireland so I’ve just had pizza for breakfast!

Beautiful sunny day! This kind of weather makes you want to go outsdie and enjoy the beauty of the day.. I feel positive and happy….

It is raining again. So Boo! It has been raining for 2 weeks.
MPaula
My bae pleased me first thing this morning by being awesome. I ate leftover homemade curry with leftover restaurant-cooked shrimp. The restaurant was new to me and served me the most excellently spiced (2 out of 3 on heat level) dish. I could probably eat their most spiced dish but I was pleased with what was presented. So friends 2 out of 2, restaurants 1 out of 1.

Having a great day today..things are looking up for us and I couldn’t be happier

KATE SARSFIELD
More glorious sunshine so I’ve been washing blankets & quilts then putting them away for the summer. Other than that, not a whole lot happening.
clojo9372
I am very tired today for some reason. I am having a hard time getting myself moving. TGIF!!! I am looking forward to the weekend! 🙂
YVONNE WOODSTOCK
I’ve had a fairly good day. I was happy that I didn’t feel tired and that I was extra productive today. 🙂 The sweet emails exchanged with my husband whenever he had a little break or lunch break at work made my day.
Mai T.
Friday is here and we girls plan to go to a bar listening to retro music! Hope it’s a good night.

Tamra Phelps
I’m not completely sure if you want the NewChic item comment here or on the NewChic post, so I’ll just do both, lol. My favorite is the Women PU Leather Travel Rucksack Backpack in yellow (which really looks like a dark caramel color to me!)
Tamra Phelps
Today was pretty nice (except for one pop up storm, but it passed quickly.) It was ‘pay the bills’ day, so that was painful, lol. One of my nephews had a baseball game, so his little brother came over here to stay (he didn’t want to go.) Now it’s starting to thunder & lightning again…
Sue A.
We’ve got heavy rain and I’m feeling refreshed. And don’t you just love the sound it makes!
Terry Poage
Thanks for the giveaway.
Dawn Monzu
My day is going pretty darn good. I am looking for a job, and I’m trying to get hired by Uber…but it is a little more of a process than I thought it would be. Anyway! I am excited because I am going camping Friday, and I haven’t been camping in at least 15 years! I hope I remember how to put up my tent! haha God bless everyone!

I am having an awesome week! I just moved into a new condo and I am loving it! It is so nice and cozy!

I have had better days (weeks). I am stuck on the couch with back pain while my husband waits on me and I wait on visiting the neurosurgeon in a few days. OUCH! Thanks for asking.
michele soyer
Fantastic day… it was raining but now the sun is out and I feel positive about this week!
KATE SARSFIELD
I had the most scrumptious meal last night: a veggie chow mein. Man, I love noodles! Off to Dublin early tomorrow so basically not doing a whole lot today!
clojo9372
We had another power outage! It happened in the middle of the night. Now I feel kind of lethargic because I didn’t sleep well because of it. It’s time to start my day and I will do my best to get all my work done early so I can take a little nap in the afternoon.
