Murderous Gloomy Day. I'm skipping class
and instead am going to mope around the house. I've tried exercise, positive thinking and upbeat music but I feel like CRAP!

And how is your day?

1. Why not just go to class?
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 11:32 AM by KC2
Since nothing around your home has cheered you up, why not just try going to class? You never know, there may be something there to turn your mood around.

2. Because my wretched soon-to-be-ex husband
took off for a few days and there will be nobody here with the kids.

That's my excuse anyway.

5. As long as you don't have anybody to watch them,
I guess it's a valid reason. Take care, and I hope your day gets better. :hi:

7. Thanks. Maybe I'll go out an do some weeding.
We're trying to sell the house so we can go our separate ways. It isn't moving and this has caused a lot of tension. Improving the garden won't hurt and it might even help!

3. I think you've got it backwards
You're supposed to skip class on the nice days. If there's nothing better to do, class might be entertaining. I mean, unless it's accounting or something.

My day sucks ass...wish I could skip work, but then I don't get to eat.

4. True. Well, it is sunny.
I'm taking classes in the hope of finding work. If my effort fails, I'm in deep schmidt.

8. I think ounce for ounce, you do better going with
5 O'Clock Vodka or as my good friend Steve calls it, "paint thinner".

12. Hi, kiraboo!
I hope doing some yardwork on a nice sunny day cheers you up!

HERE is how my day is going!

My side of town has had 10 inches of rainfall thus far, with more in the forecast.

15. Hi Lady Effingbroke
You have my sympathy regarding your weather. We had rain for weeks but finally spring/summer has sprung. And yes, the yardwork has me feeling much better. All the roses are just starting to come out and there are hundreds and hundreds of them. It is truly marvellous.

13. I thought you were talking about the weather
What are you using for upbeat music?

Maybe you could bake something. We are out of cookies. :hide:

Trying to maintain my youthful figure and all that.

19. My dear kiraboo....
I'm sorry your day isn't so good.....

I've felt better too, than I do today.....

And I went outside, and repotted some houseplants that desperately needed it!

While I was out there, the morning overcast lifted, and the sun came out!

All that activity did help me a lot.....

I do hope you will feel better very soon......:hug:

20. You are very kind, CaliforniaPeggy.
And I feel much happier after doing some weeding in the yard. While you are developing sun it looks like we might be developing thunderstorms.

I hope the rest of your day has you feeling better! Hugs to you...:loveya: :hug:
