Good afternoon y’all! If you are anything like me, you are so incredibly happy the weekend is finally here! But I also do hope y’all had a delightful week! This week has been a bit LONG for me because due to a staffing shortage in my office and an increasingly busy work load, I have been working some additional hours! I know I said that I was not going to push myself too far, but the stubborn part of me took control and I might have pushed a little further than I should have! The only day that I did not work 6 1/2-7 hours a day was Thursday and that was only because of a doctor’s appointment, which really took priority for me! Thankfully, my appointment went well even though he was just a little dumbfounded with one of my questions. I guess it is a good thing it was not a too much of a life changing question!
I am extremely relieved for the weekend because I definitely need some relaxation and rest time! I think it is safe to say that I am so far beyond exhausted that being just simply fatigued sounds like paradise. I know our bodies let us know when we need to rest, but I often ignore what my over exerted body is pretty much screaming at me. When I know that something needs to be done, I tend to think everything needs to be right away and never completely understand that somethings really can wait! I am trying to get better at this, but it isn’t easy because I have some control issues about tasks being completed immediately and the right way! The funny thing is when I say I have come control issues about tasks being done, I never want any help and just want to do everything on my own, so I guess just try controlling myself! I guess only controlling what I do is better than trying to control others because that is very impossible!
I have been noticing an increasing amount of anger, frustration, hostility, hatred for no apparent reason and sadness in so many people! What is really causing these negative emotions among so many? I tend to blame the actions of those in charge of the country because they seem to be creating SO much negative energy which is why I do my best to avoid hearing anything they are talking (lying) about. I know there are many people who will agree with this statement and probably many who will disagree with me, which is okay because we are all entitled to our own opinions. If we all thoughts alike on everything there would be absolutely no dynamics and that might actually be a little boring! It is perfectly acceptable to have you own thoughts and opinions, but I do believe it is also extremely important to have an open mind as a close minded person never grows!
Thank y’all for visiting my site today! I always appreciate and value your comments as they are always very insightful! I hope your Friday has been very pleasant and I certainly hope you have an amazing weekend! Please always remember that I am sending y’all LOTS of love and comfort!
Always, Alyssa
Have a restful weekend

I know that scream of the body saying to stop, I listen usually, but sometimes I just ignore it. Like earlier, I decided to pull some weeds that needed to be pulled, but my body/fatigue and the heat intolerance told me to stop.. I ignored it and got a good amount pulled.
Now, I am inside, enjoying the AC. 🙂

Sometimes I do think it is good to ignore the voice screaming to stop, but only because if we do not push ourselves some we will never know what we are capable of!
I am glad you are inside though enjoying the AC, we do need to only deal with the heat in small portions!

Be proud for everything you’ve achieved, especially with pushing yourself over the week. I’m glad the appointment went well – I find doctors being dumbfounded with questions to be a common experience (or they fill the gap of knowledge with something stupid, which is worse!) Maybe you can ask Dr Google?
Have a restful weekend and TAKE IT EASY! 🙂

Thank you so much Caz! It really was a terribly long week and I am so happy it is Saturday with NO work!! You are very right,, doctors being dumbfounded is so common and seems to be getting worse! For this doctor looking like a deer caught in headlights and so confused, I blame Trump! This is the doctor that thinks Trump will go down in history as the best president ever! He is also the one that stopped my pain medication for a few weeks because I joked about the president!! It seems like Dr. Google and I are normally on the same page and it does not go all stupid:)!
I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend as well sweetie!!

I truly hope that you had a very relaxing weekend, you must always listen to your body telling you when you have had enough.
I agree with your statement as far as not listening to the lies of our government, and the constant nonsense. For that matter, I’m just so exhausted mentally and emotionally over all the people who have lied to me over the past month or so.
I took the weekend off from writing and barely read at all. My depression is at an all-time low. I see the quack that messed with me last month, tomorrow. Thank God she will no longer be at the mental health facility come September.
I think at this point, I won’t be back to writing until tomorrow if not Wednesday. My nerves are just riddled, and my concentration is nill.

I am horrible at listening to my body and do exactly the opposite which causes LOTS of pain!!!
I believe everything that our government says is a complete LIE!!! It is really sad, but what do you do with things like that?!
I am so sorry people have lied to you a lot over the past month, you do not deserve that at all!
I am glad you took the weekend off. I hope you focused on YOURSELF!! I hate to hear your depression is bad right now. I will blame our government for some of the depression. Take your time writing again. Your blog is for you and should be something that bring YOU joy!!
Take care and never forget I am here for you!!

Oh, I definitely blame our government for 90% of the issues. I documented word for word what one person told me to the next person… no one has the same story ever.
It takes so much to push me over the edge and turn my attitude to crap.
I just need a little while to regroup and accept that from here on forward, my finances are going to end up doing me in. Heck, who needs food right? LOL!
Thank you, for always listening to me moan and groan. I don’t want to be this way, truly I don’t.

You are nicer than I am because I blame the government for everything that has gone wrong! Actually, I blame the government a lot but it is also his cult followers that still support him. The cult followers believe all of his bs lies abd that is sad!
I hate that people have lied to you and mistreated you. You deserve much more than that crap! I understand financial struggles all too much. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t eat a lot; ).
You are very welcome! I told you that I will always be here for you and always be truthful ♡

Interesting!! I’m sorry you wrestle with so much fatigue like I do. I manage the fatigue by sleeping 9 to 11 hours a night. (And I know I’m the only fatigue-ridden person out there who does this.) Again, though, I admire how you actually go to work!! Good for you!! I can totally relate to the self-imposed pressure to be productive!! “Do this!! Do that! Must do all these things right now!” AARGH. I’ve been learning that my energy flows differently through the day than others’. I’ll get up, be good to be productive for four to six hours, and then need to lie down. However, then I get a second wind and can get back into working or other things. I just can’t do what most people do: get up and go to work for all day. (Fatigue isn’t the only reason–my paranoia is extreme–but I really need a lot of sleep!)
