I’m really having to make an effort to try to keep things positive today, so I guess I will just shoot for neutral. Really not feeling it today. Don’t even feel like being here to be honest. Just mostly here out of habit. But, hey, I’m relatively healthy, got a roof over my head and food to eat, so it could be worse.
How are you doing this morning people?
I am doing okay. I had a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream this morning.
I wokeup at 7am then slept again from 8 to 10am. Had a protein bar for breakfast, now its 11am. Weather is sh!t outside, cloudy and very humid.
Short of the missing smile my day has been rather easy I’m still trying to get over this illness and have too many bills on my plate other than that I think you will make it
I think moderator burnout can be a thing. Take a break from the forum for a spell to recharge your batteries.
Thanks @Patrick . I may just end up doing that.
@anon82948922 was carrying this whole circus tent on his own shoulders until he needed a change. I think it was a great move for him…being free from moderation.
He has a big heart and didn’t want to let any of us down, but he needed a break for his own mental health.
Hey, Bowens! I’m doing alright. I’m at the dentist office, waiting to be called back.
Agreed. He’s a good guy despite the damage to your ankles he may cause. 
I have laryngitis for the millionth time. I only have two days worth of my antibiotic and prednisone left and I woke up completely mute and in terrible pain yet again this morning. I can’t seem to get the hospital up in Oregon to get these appointments scheduled so I can find out what is wrong with my throat even. I fear cancer. I fear surgery of some kind at the very least. At this point if they do call I can’t even answer the phone because I have zero voice. I may have to go down to our hospital, where my docs office is and write a note to them to help me schedule the appointment. I don’t know how else to handle it. So yea, I long for a neutral day.
Hey leaf, I’m sorry to hear about all this. Wishing you well and I hope everything turns out ok in the end. Sounds awful.
It’s late afternoon here. I just finished my Spanish homework. Planning to go to bed early today.
Hope you feel better soon. Kudos.
Sending positive vibes your way! Take care and don’t overthink it…could just be something minor.
I know when I’m under the weather I google everything and think I have all of these dreaded conditions. Stay positive…I think you’re going to be okay.
I’d help with moderating if i had the time lol
I’d volunteer to be a moderator, but the problem is I’d constantly end up banning myself…and wouldn’t be around much to help. 
If @everhopeful is keen, I think he’d make a great part-time fill in moderator.
I hope you at least see someone. That doesn’t sound good. Let us know updates. I’m worried about you @Leaf
@Bowens, I’m having an ok day today. It’s neutral so far. I’m getting a haircut today and I’m looking forward to it though so that is what makes it neutral. I’m scared of going because my husband won’t be with me, but I’m happy to get the cut.
I hope your day gets better. Try taking a hot shower and then do something positive like watch a comedy show if you can.
Also, it’s ok if you take the day off from the forum. Everyone needs breaks from things now and then
Reminds me that I need to shave my beard and head. I think I will wait until I shower as I don’t want to end up with hair on myself and in my bed, it itches.
