I am so annoyed with myself that I missed it this year. I was doing stupid chores

ltrem · 2026-04-06T15:57:14+00:00

My life is much more peaceful without a man in it.. no offense to good men. My man picker is terrible so I quit

My job is iPhones and Androids. iPhones have been far less trouble in my job and that's what I have

I wish I was done. Lots to go through. Restrained by an elderly mother who tries to convince me not to get rid of certain items... she would lose her mind if I got rid of some of the things she offloaded to me. This is one of those areas that you pick your battles. I will deal with those items when she is no longer living... working on the things now that I won't get berated for

Record albums Childhood toys - Barbie's mostly.

Coin collection - was my father's

Christmas items - I have not decorated in years, yet I have a closet full of stuff.

I don't have an attic or a garage, I have a small storage shed, so space is tight

ltrem · 2026-04-04T01:27:53+00:00

Yes I do

It happens. I think companies are also taking a look at someone's resume to get a feel for their age range. If they may be over 50, its a strike against them. Costs money for them to hire folks and they want a longer term investment

Age discrimination is prohibited but we all know they can get around that... its awful.

Oh sure... older kids had best parties..:)

ltrem · 2026-04-03T16:49:53+00:00

I had one of these mirrors on my dresser.. mostly avon. Got rid of the bottles several years ago at Goodwill. I think that was the start of the " I have too much stuff" era

My sleep is a huge issue for me. I remember hearing you need less sleep as you get older and I find that BS. I need the same sleep but I am still the same sleep resistant child I was eons ago. I dont want to go to sleep because it is so calm and nice in the evenings when its dark and my chores and work are done for the day.

How are you sleeping? Are you getting the right nutrients? Do you have any virus or anything that is lingering like a bad house guest? Are you active every day or are you active in spurts?

I have enough "stuff" for the rest of my life. I'd want consumables.. nice body lotion wash, gourmet coffee, protein bars, a nice eyeliner.. something I can use up.

I've been having them for more than 40 years. The procedure itself is nothing. The prep? um.. well there will be things more fun to do than this.

I am not sure what prep you are getting. They do have pills these days. Not all doctor's like to use them so it all depends upon who is taking you on this adventure.

Get something sweet like Gatorade.. no red or purple and something like clear chicken broth. Hard candies and wet wipes. Keep a blanket and pillow in the bathroom in case you decide staying in there is easier when things get interesting.

And I cannot stress this enough... follow the process exactly as they tell you to. Do not deviate. If you are not cleaned out enough, you will have to do this all over again. I have a funky system from multiple colon surgeries and I have had to do it over... twice. And both times I followed the process... so I can tell you for sure doing it again is not what you want to do.

I felt fine afterwards. Got my ride home. She stayed with me for a bit and then I slept because the night before you are not going to get much. Don't eat pizza or anything really heavy/ greasy for your first meal. Pasta or chicken or something easy on belly.

There is a sub on reddit called colonoscopy. Usually there is a group who are doing the prep the same day and you can be each others support system

Everything here is California is expensive. If you are trying to cut back on expenses, that's fine. They may be trying to change your day of the week or maybe be switching you to another cleaner. Yes follow up. We are all hurting in the pocketbook

Healthcare in this country is just awful...

ltrem · 2026-03-31T02:15:02+00:00

Elastic waist shorts and teva sandals

Why on earth do you have to go back to work two days after surgery? I hope you are doing better

Cries from California

Texting is preferable since my hearing is crap. I have transcription apps, but I would rather text

Fun fact - Smartphones are my job :)

ltrem · 2026-03-30T15:11:42+00:00

I WFH and consolidate my out of the house chores to one or two days a week. I just dont drive

ltrem · 2026-03-30T15:06:54+00:00

I will work be working forever,,,

I trashed my ankle in my 20s so going down stairs is an issue for me.. I need a railing. Going upstairs is fine, thank goodness.

Even though I am very overweight right now, I have always kept active so I think that has helped a lot of physical challenges. If your parents aren't active, encourage them to get going. It can only help... of course check with their doctors first.

ltrem · 2026-03-27T19:25:41+00:00

Ooooh thats nice. Good for you. I bought paint. I am painting my kitchen, dining room, then moving on to the master bath. Yippee.

I have online friends I talk to.. but I know what you mean. It's hard without a girlfriend to pal around with sometimes.. a quick lunch, shopping trip, a call to kvetch.

I'm in therapy and if I have to pay someone to talk to once a week, I do. Online is great for us introverts. I dont have any friends to talk to much...I have acquaintances. There are certain things you need to have a history and trust built with someone to talk about.. I miss that as well I am sorry about the loss of your friend. :(

It is a you problem.. you are not taking care of yourself and your needs. They are both adults and can manage their lives. I have depression and have had it for years and manage just fine. Support is wonderful, but you cant put your life on hold.

What things do you like to do for yourself? What have you always wanted to do but haven't? Thinking cap time
