Hi Imvalentine,
Your work situation sounds awful, I feel for you! It sounds like it's best for you to look for another position.
I bought new shoes and have so far just been wearing them around the house. My left foot is still quite painful. Today, I got some ball of foot pads I'd ordered, so I'm thinking of trying a walk downtown tomorrow. I have used the treadmill at the gym, but I find that I need the fresh air, and just looking at things to help my mood and anxiety. I will walk at a slower pace and just see how it goes.

Good morning.
How are the walks going in new shoes Lesher? I’m still being lazy except for weekend yoga and the workout at work-ha ha. I am actively looking online for different employment. The office manager is on vacation this week so I won’t be under her rude bossy thumb. I may get fired but I’m not quitting until I have something else confirmed. I feel much better knowing I am “temporary”. Deep yoga breaths and shoulder rolls help anxiety also.
I may need a lot of deep breaths this afternoon. My son bought a huge pool, splash pad and legal fireworks. I will be grilling hot dogs for 3 grandkids. I’m going to be a trouble maker and ban my daughter’s cell phone. It is super glued to her hand! I remember getting so drunk on past 4th of July’s and dragging myself to work the next day in a stupor. I’m grateful for being sober and present this year.
Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July to you and your family Imvalentine. My left foot is still really painful so I can't do my brisk walks which is annoying.
I have new neighbours who moved in over the weekend and they had a noisy party yesterday. I'm not coping with the change very well. I feel unsettled and want to move. My neighborhood has changed so much. It used to be a quiet area, with older people, but now, it's younger renters who are party folk. I'm crying a lot this morning and feel so sad. Before he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, my husband and I talked about moving to a lake front home. I couldn't afford this now, and I don't want to manage such a home on my own. I just feel trapped and very low. But I won't drink over it.
All the best with your new job search.

Lesher I’m hoping you feel at least a little better. I’ve been told and have read it’s good to cry. I rarely do. I’m thinking of you. How is the foot coming along? A walk sounds like a good distraction.
The family 4th get together was fine. My daughter had her phone attached to her hand and ignored my request to put it down. I tried to ignore it and concentrate on the little ones.
Work still stinks even with the office manager off. Yesterday it was a portal opening for healing and happiness…then the usual mean BS from the owner/therapist. She responded to a group text from 8 in the morning at close to 9 last night. I’m hanging in so far. I have started to clap back without losing it. I’m not going to drink at the place to work up more bad feelings.
Take care everyone.

Checking in. I looked at the June thread and thought should I join in or stay here or both? Lesher I did see you had 30 days recently. Congratulations that is a huge blessing. The hike sounds fun. It’s difficult to put yourself out there in a new group.
I was finally fired by phone Friday. It was a very long 4 day week of BS. Ordered to do the dishes and then told “good girl” was a low blow. I started to be assertive with all of the baiting and picking. I’m glad I asserted myself politely but strongly. I also brushed up on computer skills I was afraid of. Basically not being afraid in general! I have a pre screening on a job scheduled so there is hope. My dream job turned into a big bummer. I didn’t think about alcohol until my daughter asked if I was ok that evening. I thought about the consequences of drinking had on the my children. I’m grateful I can be present for the Gkids.
A hot mid 90’s day ahead. I’ve threatened to get in the kiddie pool and this may be the day!
A good Sunday to everyone.

I'm sorry love, but it sounds like they really need a junior in that role. I am glad you have something else on the horizon; I am betting y9ou will get a way better job.
