When Life Gets You Down
You know, once in a while things in life get you down. Situations, events, occasions. For the past couple of months I have been feeling out of sorts. Some of you may know what I am talking about. I'm not going to get into the details but just know, that life has got me down. Its got me feeling like people who I thought really cared, do not.
Work is not helping. I often times feel like I am walking on egg shells there. It's awful. I hope to escape soon, actually, I hope that we all escape soon. The stress of that place is going to us sooner or later - someone is going to break. I often wonder if some simple positive reinforcement on a job well done would improve my outlook on the job.
I thought that since life has me down I would make a list of things I can do to get back up again.
1. Get a hobby - Cher is so happy with her watercolour class that I've been thinking about taking up a hobby of my own. Not sure what it is, but I'll let you know when I discover it.
2. Go back to school - Would this really pick me up? I don't know. Maybe I can get the big green and purple M to pay for it, or at least some of it. I need a way out of there.
3. Buy a new computer - boy honey, that would really pick me up (wink wink)
4. Start going to the gym (again) - I have talked about doing this forever. I have a membership and really should do it. I would like to lose 30 pounds and head back towards my pre-prednisone weight. Watch out crosstrainer here I come.
5. Stop letting things get me down - I guess what it comes down to is as hurt as I am, I cannot let this get to me. I can be the bigger person and move on. I have plenty of people who care for me and those people have really come through for me in the past months. They all know how truly important they are to me.
Anyways, that's all for me. Today has been the laziest day ever. Watched a lot of the game show network. Watched Star Trek: Nemesis (Cherie boo-hooed when Data died). Ate pizza and drank Pepsi (these are a few of my favourite things). Getting ready for Grey's Anatomy and then bed time. G'night.

Hon,
I love ya, I know that things have been tough for you this last while. Your an amazing husband, I love you. Together we will work things out. You have so much potential I know that there are good things and jobs awaiting you. As for people getting you down, dont let them they are not even worthy of you.

I know exactly how you feel. i get that way too sometimes. and other times i get extra grumpy. Don't let thing worry you so much. From past experience you will find out who belives in you , cares for you and stands behind you in the end. As for a hobby i know i would just get bored with that one. Anyways, chin up soldier and keep fighting on.

I just read your latest and can identify with those feelings. As guys we tend to bottle things up and look internally. To that, I say "screw em all". I am a great believer in living life with no regrets. Never let them get to you. Tell it like it is. If they don't like it, say it with me now ... "Screw em all". Obviously Cher thinks you are amazing, and I also know that your peers hold you in high regard. Ask the new guy, he'll tell you. When you get up in the morning, make the choice to see the positives around you. Life is an amazing ride. Enjoy it.
