Resolute Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 i suppose most of us were taught that desire should be eliminated or at least controlled. i've never been able to do that, however. so my absolute lack of motivation is because of the unattainability of my desires (needless to say, replacing my actual desires with other ones is meaningless).

Victimorthecrime Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I went to Catholic school back when the nuns ran it and it was no joke. To be fair there were some good ones and I learned self discipline and the work ethic. But "burning desire" was not on the curriculum. Obedience to God and his commandments as interpreted by the Catholic Church was the only open road to salvation. See I was an only child & an impressionable one at that so this stuff affected me more than most. When I turned 18 and was expected to choose a college and a career I was baffled & mystified but too afraid to ask questions so I did what most people do and just looked around at what others were doing and did roughly the same to my everlasting detriment. Maybe that was the plan all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Well I finally caught a cold. That's my punishment for having off 3 weekdays the week before last and going out to bars. I was in denial about it last week at work but here on the weekend there is no denying it. I have been resting up, trying to get better, but there is only so much you can do. The plan is to go into work tomorrow & if I feel sick I can schedule a day off for Tuesday. I really need groceries and am not sure if I'll be able too make it there. I can always order a pizza if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks Res. I can't believe I got thru Dec, Jan, Feb only to catch a cold in March ?. So far it's not real real bad so I hope it passes. Hope things are good on your end. I could use a month off to do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Sorry you're sick, Vic. The weather here has been so erratic...very warm to frigid back to warm and then frigid again... I wonder if that can make the immune system more vulnerable. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes pizza just works.

Victimorthecrime Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I am going to go into work today but I might schedule tomorrow off. This cold is not getting worse but not getting better as far as I can tell. For a couple of days having cold can be fun - an excuse to be lazy, eat soup, drink decaf, take naps, watch the idiot box. But 2-3 days of that and the charm is over. Yeah its 21 degrees here now. Too low for March, ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes I will be off tomorrow 3-07-17. I knew going to work would make it worse. I can hardly breath thru my nose lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Made it into work today. Glad to be home, still have some sinus congestion. Looking forward to the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Not a bad day, Sunday, got somethings done, did some exercise, got a good nap, got a rough sketch plan of a thing I have been procrastinating; nothing amazing but could be worse. I'll take it. State of mind is so important. You have to want things & have the strength to put in the work on them. jazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Nothing special here just wanted to share that one of the things I have to get through my head is to keep it simple. My thoughts get so complicated that I get tangled up in them and end up doing nothing. I have to learn to keep my attention & my efforts on the doable present. Only action gets results, anything else is noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 It's finally a sunny Spring-like day here and although I am not sure it is entirely weather related I am feeling a bit better at the moment. I am rested, I am eating well, and feeling decent. The plan today: get to grocery store (Giant), do some stretching, laundry, and then just relax & go w the flow. I might even do a little meditation, we'll see ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Considering I didn't sleep or nap well I did ok because I got the lawn mowed, first one of the year. All the other neighbors had theirs cut so I had to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks Res. I hope you all hit the lotto and meet a beautiful young woman who is eager to engage in acts of carnal depravity. Hopefully it is not the SAME woman, that would be awkward.

Victimorthecrime Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Home relaxing watching the NFL draft so I am can content tonight. Hopefully I'll sleep well and have a productive day tomorrow 'cause I have lots to do. Thank God this shoulder is getting better. At one point the pain was so bad I felt nauseous. Would say it is about 80% better thanks to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I had calcific tendonitis in my shoulder 6-7 years ago, and it was extremely painful! You don't realize just how often you use your shoulder until you can't. I developed a frozen shoulder as well from it and literally was unable to lift my arm. It's intense and constant pain and any kind of pressure increases the pain. I didn't sleep for weeks. My shoulder thankfully got much better after I had a cortisone shot. My doctor told me the tendonitis was likely from repetitive use of my shoulder. I'm glad your shoulder feels a bit better, Vic. Tendonitis can be very tough to deal with. I hope things continue to improve for you in every regard. Wishing you aa productive and pain free weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
