What’s wrong Linda? hope you feel better soon.

Very depressed and I can’t snap out of it. It’s not just one thing, it’s a bunch of little things and I’m to the point now where I wish I could take anti-depressants without side effects. But those things mess me up bad.

Thank you for asking, Susie, you’re very kind.

Come on Linda, snap out of it! I also get very depressed some times. Go out on your shooting range and pretend your shooting someone you don’t like, it might make you feel better.

Hugs to you xxxxx

That actually sounds very satisfying right now. What a great suggestion. Don’t know when I’ll be able to get there, though. My boss has been working me half to death. That’s another thing depressing me. I want my regular freaking hours back before HE’S the one I’ll end up using for target practice.

lol

Chicken Salad today.

What do you work at?

I work for an independent businessman (we have connections to the U.S. Military and that’s really all I can say) whose business is growing and getting busier. He keeps telling me he’s going to hire someone in to help me (for the last year and a half) but he never does it. I’ve worked for him for 10 years and I’ve only ever wanted part time hours. But since things are getting busier, he’s asking me to work extra hours and extra days and I just can’t do it anymore.

I told him yesterday, “This is my last week of working extra days. Either find someone else to take over on the days I don’t work, or deal with me only being here 3 days a week.”

Today for lunch I’m having a poached salmon fillet and orzo with tomatoes and peas.

Yes you will have to be blunt with him and tell him what you want.

Your lunch sounds nice.

That man is driving himself crazy and taking me with him.

Lunch is fairly balanced, although I could use some more veg. But it will do. I have a nice tuna steak I want to fix soon as well. I love medium-rare tuna steak.

Today we had:

Quiche and Salad.

Yeah, my beautiful lunch I had the other day ended up in the trash. I had just started eating when my boss showed up. He got mad about something and started banging his hand on walls and slamming doors and it completely ruined my appetite. So the whole lunch went into the bin and I left and went for a walk to cool myself down and get away from him.

That salmon was so moist and tender and I kicked myself later for throwing it out. I could have at least saved it for my cats.

I would leave that job and your boss if I was you Linda, you don’t want to make yourself ill.

I’d love to leave, but I can’t. It’s just me and him and if I walked out on him right now, he’d be up a creek. He doesn’t even know how to use a computer. I’m all he’s got.

He’s full-blooded Italian and while he’s kind and generous most of the time, he’s not someone you want to mess with or make angry. He’d give me the shirt off his back, if I needed it. But he’s going crazy and taking me with him. We’re getting busier and busier and he keeps saying he’s going to hire someone to help me, but it never happens. And that’s mostly because he trusts no one. So I’m the one carrying the load.

Anyway, heck with all of that. Summer is here and that means only one very important thing…

Hi Linda,

What is in the sandwich, looks like cream cheese and tomatoes?

Today its a full Roast, with Gammon.

Its Cheese & Onion Quiche with Salad today.

Not sure what’s in that one, as it’s just a random tomato sandwich pic I found online. But I always use mayo. Not a big fan of cream cheese in sandwiches.

Sorry Linda, I thought it was a sandwich you had made.

No problem :slight_smile:

And today I’m being bad and I don’t really care. I went to McDonald’s and got my favorite junk food meal - a Big Mac (no cheese), a 6 piece chicken nugget and fries. This has been the worst few weeks in a long time and I needed comfort food. My son’s dad has been sick with the flu, we lost one of our dogs to lung cancer, our air conditioning broke down and our shower is now finally fixed, but was torn up for weeks because the knobs broke, the tile fell apart, etc. So we needed to have a whole new shower ensemble installed and they took their sweet time getting it done.

So I go to McDonald’s and the line is long. So I wait and wait and wait. Get to the speaker to discover they’re accepting only cash because their credit card machines are down. I was like “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

So I left and went to another McDonald’s. This just hasn’t been my month. June can kiss my behind and I’ll be glad when it’s over.

Now all I need is to get my gun and do some target shooting. What I’d really like is a big outdoor range set up with a ton of watermelons and about 600 rounds of ammo.

Go for it Linda.

Today we are having:

Steak Pie marinated in Red Wine with a cracked pepper pastry with cheese & onion potato bake and bake beans.
