Cindy Evanier Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 1st of May *muted yay* I should be getting excited that I would be going on my first holiday abroad to Spain in 10 years in 3 weeks time but instead we have this thing. I am just hoping the airline will cancel my flights which they are only doing on a rolling weekly basis. Once THEY actually cancel, I can claim my money back. I have had the ransom emails offering me a voucher if I cancel but to be used within 12 months. Its a lot of money; over £1600 plus more for the airport parking I paid for because its a peak time period (school holidays). I don't want a voucher because I don't know when in the next 12 months I can book again. I had the weirdest dream last night too. One of those where you wake up with a shock thinking you are still in the dream. I was trying to escape all these wild animals that were going to kill me and were mutating and doubling every time I escaped one. Today is the first day I have really felt I need to get out of this house and do something normal. I wasn't on the higher risk 12 week lockdown list just on the high risk but initially decided I was going to do and could do the 12 weeks anyway. Just over halfway and nah I was wrong. I am not going to last another 6 weeks without going somewhere, anywhere. Maybe I would feel better if it wasn't so dull, overcast and cold. My condition reacts to the weather, worsens when its bad and improves when its warm. We had some great weather recently and I was feeling ok. *Sighs* Spain at the end of May would have been so warm and sunny and vibrant and full of life. I want to rant at everyone, stamp my foot and throw a diva flounce. I better sit on my fingers before firing off responses to some forum posts 😇 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Kiyori Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Feeling kinda 💩 today I tried dying my hair dark blue irl (my hair is naturally dark brown but I had blonde highlights put in about 6/7 months ago & by this point they’re mostly all washed out) so I thought why not. Only the tips of my hair have turned blue though :(( Oh how I cannot wait for lockdown to be done with. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I really thought I was not going to be terribly affected by the whole social isolation thing because my normal life is so incredibly isolated. I was wrong. I'm going stir crazy like everyone else. My mood and sleep are affected like everyone else's. sigh It isn't all coronavirus related angst. My guess is about 30% is COVID-19 and the rest is just "normal" meh. Physically I'm feeling craptastic. I have not completely recovered from whatever it was/wasn't that sent me to the ER last week. There is physical pain... even more than normal of my legs/left arm! Oh joy. I did get some prescriptions to help with the pain and symptoms, and they do work, but they make me so sleepy and groggy and mind foggy. We've also just had months and months of miserable gray days, and even my "happy" light can't combat all of that gloom. Edited May 1, 2020 by Seicher Rae I can no longer do noun/verb agreement. Ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Macbain Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I, too, am considering ordering some Manic Panic in some outrageous purple shade and just being a freak with it. I've done wild colors before but also applied by my niece, the professional stylist. Alas, her shop is in another county, hairdressers are still closed down, AND she's pregnant. I don't dare consider telling her what I'm considering doing. She'd be horrified... lol. I haven't even confessed that I trimmed my own hair last week. My favorite was when she gave me "oil slick" hair... (not me but it was very close to this... my hair is longer and curlier) I'm still moody, but not quite as bad as I was, and I don't think I'm alone in this isolated boat - a peek at other threads shows that others are a bit testy right now, too. I think it's to be expected and is perfectly reasonable that we're all a bit snappish right now. I'm trying hard not to let it color my opinion of anyone because we're all there. Except that one dude. He's an ass, but that was also my opinion of him before this virus mess. I'm thankful that the mods seem to understand, and I'm sure they're all feeling in themselves in various ways as well, and are letting us be unless things take a really ugly turn. The world is icky right now and we deserve to be a little bit b*tchy. If ever a situation warranted it, its being stuck in the bloody middle of this bloody pandemic. I think most of us have shown that we can have disagreements on here, even pretty heated ones, and still not absolutely hate each other when it's all over and done. I've been overly sentimental and introspective, too. Too much time to think. I burst into tears yesterday because I was recording a donation in our database, and the donor wrote "hang in there" in the memo field. I don't know why it made me cry, but I was full on blubbering. Felt good to just not hold it in and let the tears flow. And then I decided I needed some classic rock... "Alexa, play the Beatles". "She's Leaving Home by the Beatles"... and Beth sobs again. "Okay, Alexa, play the Rolling Stones..." "Goooooooooooooooodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you..." "Alexa, next!" "It is the evening of the daaaaaaaaay... I sit and watch the children plaaaaaaay... smiling faces I can see, but not for me... I sit and watch as tears go by..." "FRICK! Alexa, play Queen!" "I'll soon be turning, round the corner now, outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free..." ARGH! I'm worried sick about some people, both in RL and here in SL. @Alyona Su ... @Orwar... even @Luna Bliss, who I've probably had the biggest most awful fights with, wasn't around for a while and it freaked me out. Now is just not the time for people to be disappearing, damn it. Won't they think about me?? Seriously, though... I hope everyone is well and safe. I just tried making a grocery delivering order because I don't want to go out even though it's sunny and beautiful. Then i deleted it because I just wasn't happy with it. I'll order something for delivery tonight and try again tomorrow. It's just all a big cluster of thoughts, and feelings, and emotions. I want this Merry Go Round to freaking stop. I want some stability. No, it's not a Merry Go Round... it's one of those rides where the floor moves below you and you can't get your balance. I have trouble balancing on the very best of days, and this being unbalanced while the entire world is unbalanced is just exhausting. I'm tired of being tired. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I woke up thinking about this thread, which is weird. What I was thinking was not weird, however, so I think I'll share. I have a love/hate relationship with Forums, especially SL Forums, whether official or not. They are beneficial for me and they can be so not. Like any computer, virtual, community forum, it is easy to forget that there are people behind the monitors. It is like abstract thoughts just float onto the monitors. Sure, different posters have different styles, different beliefs, and all of that, but there's still a sense of the other in the whole thing. (At least for me.) Now, intellectually I think most of us know there are humans making the posts, and I think the majority care about that. I just think in the day-to-day posting, reading, responding, processing, we're more focused on our own human's words/thoughts/being than the humanity of who is slapping up other comments. This thread reminds us of the humanity of people not us. <--- Main point I worry sometimes that people who do not post are reading things here, and I wonder what they are doing with the information I've posted... but that lasts about 37 seconds. Eff 'em if they want to mock and feel superior. If I really cared about those unseen judgey folks then I would not post. Posting in this thread has made me kinder in the other threads. Kinda kinder, this thread isn't a miracle worker, there shall always be amusing, articulate snarks to people who are really tw4twaffles on both sides of the screen. Every person is living a story. So many stories... I try to remember that my belief is to come at everybody with respect until proven the person doesn't deserve it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because my natural hair is so dark (with quite a bit of gray these days), she had to do an all over color, and that takes longer because of the grays, then bleach the individual pieces that were going to get the pretty colors, then do the color on them.

LittleMe Jewell Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I took the day off work - partly because I have all this freakin vacation time and we can only carry over one week at the end of the year, so I have to use it somehow -- and just because I needed to break the current monotony of SSDD. While I worked from home a WHOLE LOT before this, working from home EVERY FREAKIN DAY is totally different and somewhat oppressive feeling. So anyway, I slept late -- till almost 9:00 -- then got up and sat on the couch watching TV and drinking coffee until noon. Finally ate and then got into the shower; popped out to the grocery store to get my week's worth of misc items. They actually had real Kleenex tissues, but still only a few packages of some off brand of TP. I got home, put the groceries away and then vegged in front of the TV for the next many, many hours. Finally popped inworld and here to the forums to catch up a bit -- had 4 pages of Notifications to get through. Not in the mood for much inworld stuff though, so will probably finishing catching up on the forums and then go read a bit before heading to bed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 @LittleMe Jewell that actually sounds kinda boringly nice. In my way of thinking, this sounds like a productive day, something that can recharge the batteries a bit. Throw in some adult beverage and it would be darn near perfect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Landar Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Sick and tired of being ;LISHRNAUIPEHTNGR;ONFDO;GNDS;LKNREIOH;GN;OIWNFPUENGPI;BVOM*&(^)qye&*gpbljx :kjnfOA sick and tired... (that's one really long swear word there...) Ok actually I'm not tired, but I am still sick. I'm pretty sure it's not going away this time, lol...I laugh because...I have no idea Still, there's some good stuff this week, and I said I'd focus on good for the week (and today ends the week so I can get back to my cranky self tomorrow) sooooo We has daffodils in our yard, they've been MIA for a few years, but they came back this year. I never did plant them, they've just always been here, being what they are. They're all over the place, but there are some up near the house too.They're sort of by the one window, and it's been a bit windy on and off every day for the last week or two. So if you look out the window at the right moment, they look like they're waving their arms in the air. They're all..."YAY....", they look like wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men...but they're flowers..so that's cool. Stevie, the garter snake we rehabbed a few (ok more than a few) years ago is actually still alive, and she still lives in our backyard. I only know it's her because of a mark on her underside where she got hurt (and the reason we took her in, in the first place, was because of her being hurt). I like seeing her out there. Oh., here's a picture of her, aint she perty? (this isn't a new picture, but she's pretty much the same, just a wee bit bigger now) Umm, what else..ummmmm....weather's nice today I like opening the doors and windows when it's nice, even when it's rainy but not cold. I'm thinking...I'm thinking...I'm thinking.... Ok that's all I've got for now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
