How are you today 1-10?

I'm sorry to hear you're on the wrong end of the scale today, April. I've been struggling with gastric issues since early April. I never get this stuff, and it had me and my doctor concerned I had colon cancer, even though I had a clean colonoscopy about a year ago. (Lots of moving parts to it. I've intentionally been losing weight since last fall but it came at a bad time with this other stuff going on.) I had a CT scan that found no cancer but I had "Moderate Pancolonic Stool Motility." In other words, I was full of $hit, which I already knew.

Things got 100% better and then declined a little last week. I finally got in to see a gastroenterologist yesterday...it took 6 weeks. Things are fine, nothing to worry about, maybe I had a virus, etc etc etc. Lots of stress that has now abated. So I'm maybe an 8 today.

So why are you in the dumps?

Sorry about your doldrums. I miss many of my friends who have passed on and it is very hard to make new ones at my age when going anywhere is a bother. I have told my kids that, to make friends, they have to get out to where other humans are. But sometimes just getting in and out of the car is difficult.
But I look at things like beautiful cloud formations and flowers to take comfort. This morning I was doing a bit more weeding. We have 'creeping charlie' in our vegetable garden which requires careful examination as to what I shake back into the earth when I pull it out. One of my chickens came to see what I was doing. The earth is so dry I didn't stir up any bugs but the chicken was hopeful with each turn of the spade. Unfortunately she kept scratching up the dirt with a lot of it flying into my shoes. I wasn't wearing socks so it kept being uncomfortable every time I emptied them.
One minute I was laughing at the situation and the next I was growling at her.
That is kind of how most of my days go--up and down.
I would say I am a 7-4.
 
Thank you everyone!!

Im probably 4 today... I dont really want to do anything.. My whole world crashed in 2021 when my friends turned on me... (Is hard to explain (They had said they adopted me into thier family and then totally disowned me))

I dont wanna get into it but just know It means alot to me that all you care as much as you do!

I love you all so much :)

It is time to out from under the rock. There is a world out there not just a few folks who had a falling out with you. What short classes can you take locally that might interest you? Painting, sewing, woodworking, … . I would love to get back into pottery.

Pottery must take alot of concentration :)

It depends on what you are working on. I had some plates that I considered unusual. Clay rolled out flat, cut out alon a big maple leaf, run the veins with a nail tool, bent upward using crumpled paper until dry, draw veins with translucent purple/beige, paint leaf with translucent beige/clear.
Mumsy took a basic class then moved on to artistic work. I have two of her pieces and will take photos later if you want to.
I never got into wheel work. My only attempt turned into a flying object which slammed into a wall.
