To be honest not that good mood wise. Being so close to units next door and them playing loud music using subwoofers does my head in. My tolerance is zero. Being in small home does not help.
The only two positives was a phone call from.a colleague i used to work with years ago. It was a surprise and cheered me up.
The other is my two cats. They calm me down.
Just got to learn to.be tolerant. Bought head phones so hope dummy me can set it up and relax.

hello everyone, thanks for interesting ideas that help.
Angela, Patience has given a detailed account of things that help her with structure and motivation.
I find I need a routine and structure so I divide things into 15 or 30 minute interval.
I need to study something for 2 hrs, I find I work hard for 15 min the break the another 15 minutes. Maybe go for a walk outside or do something else.
Find something that works for you without putting pressure on you.
I like stand up comedy online too.
Patience thanks for sharing your suggestions. I am sure they will help others reading it.

I’m not coping well today. I live alone and I’m another one with not enough structure in my life and it’s getting on top of me. I need to clean up the dishes/kitchen, do the vacuuming (my dog Possum is a great fur shedder 😭) and I feel so very down today. I want to cry but can’t, I need an enormous gentle hug. Tomorrow has to be better. PLEASE 😓

Hi Speak Your Truth
It can be hard to admit that we are having a rough day. Good job tuning in to your needs. The tears will come in their own time, and I'm sure you'll make space when they do.
It's OK to have ups and downs, and you are welcome to post here anytime.
Sending you lots of BIG, gentle virtual hugs.
