Good morning, friends I haven't been so friendly with lately. This job that I started last Monday is AWESOME! But it's also robbed me of writing and social media time. I just haven't found much extra bandwidth for it yet. I wanted to post to @medium every day, now I haven't for almost a week 😢

I feel sometimes that it’s harder to commit to ourselves and our #writing than it is to say no to people when they want something from us. I worked as a #freelancewriter for the last seven years - VERY FEW friends understood that just cause I didn’t go to an office didn’t mean I had to WORK.

I 100% agree! My daughter asked if I was excited about this and i replied: “No, not even a little bit. I’m interested in fresh, original content and new stories that haven’t already been mined for all “they” think they’re worth.”

Scary. I’m #reading a Bill Bryson #book now, A Brief History of Nearly Everything, and learning a lot. Like how of ALL the water on Earth, we can only drink 0.001% of it, apparently. There isn’t as much as we think there is that we can use, and yea, it takes a long time to replace.

Thanks for reading, Bob! You should consider becoming a #medium member! Then you can read ALL the stories everyone writes not just my friend links. (It’s a hell of a lot more pleasant than reading the news! 🙄)

#goodmorning friends! I dragged ass out of bed but coffee is already helping … kind of 🥱🙂 What are you all doing today?

What's up? My second story this week about #weightloss is up on #medium - here is a "Friend Link" if you aren't a member and want to give it a read. (Please pray for me, I can't help myself).

I Need to Lose More Than Bad Habits
But the bad habits are probably what I should focus on first.

I love my new job! Yes, it was only the first day, but I THINK I will continue loving it. I am surely going to give it a fair shot. Just need to get used to getting up before 6am… 🥱🥱🥱

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 04/12/2023
#goodmorning friends of Bluesky! I was up at 5:30 which is unnatural to me, but I best get used to it because I start a new job today! It's at a non-profit community center with a thrift shop, food bank, and senior center. I will get to steal from the rich to give to the poor! How satisfying!

I’ve been crying on and off today, missing my boyfriend, thinking this would have been our 4th anniversary 😢 So I have my BFF txting and reminding me how awful he was to me. Doesn’t make it hurt any less though 😢 #love #breakups #heartbreak

Oh, I always forget to hydrate well. I'm so bad at that. Thank you!

Yes, it's scary - I also enjoyed his book Prey - more about nanotechnology, and that one was horrific to me! Sphere was also a great sci-fi book... really made you think. I can't believe he published JP in 1990! And he was married FIVE TIMES!

I loved the book! Michael Crichton was an excellent author.

I “slept wrong” and now my neck hurts depending on how I move it. Any #advice on how to make it feel better without medication? (I don’t have a heating pad or I’d try applying heat).

I want to watch this one, too. Looks very interesting!

Yes, life goes on. We slog through. I'm sorry you have heartbreak, that you feel ill, and need to drive far. 💚 I don't really mind the rain though, because I don't plan on leaving the house!

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 03/12/2023
I 💚 #hughhowey but hate paying for so many streaming services. I’m really looking forward to watching this but I’ll wait til it’s all out and I can watch it quickly then cancel MGM+ 😂

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 03/12/2023
Good morning! Yesterday I said #goodmorning and made nice new friends, so maybe continuing isn’t a bad idea. Today would have been the 4th anniversary for me and my boyfriend, but he left me 9 days ago 😢 It’ll rain all day, and tomorrow I start a new job. That’s where I’m at, hbu?

Mmhmm, another rich dumbass who wouldn’t invest in his own workforce. You gonna tell me you run a dinosaur island with, what? Seven employees not including the heli pilot, the dude who drove the boat and the one cooking Chilean sea bass?

Tonight's story in "Night Notes" my personal pub on #medium is about how it makes me feel better knowing someone else is suffering like I am. Cause I'm a bitch? Or not? #schadenfreude #breakups #relationships #writing #blogging

I Admit I’m a Bit of a Schadenfreudette
Sometimes when I’m feeling bad, I feel better knowing others feel worse.

Well, yeah. Like a BADASS!!!

I wish I could just skip tomorrow. Tomorrow would have been me & my boyfriend's 4th anniversary. He left me eight days ago. We were 8 days away from reaching 4 years, and that stings. I'm sorry if anyone's already sick of hearing I'm sad over it, but tomorrow will probably be worse. 😞

Yay! I got mine last Monday. Had a fever of 101.2 Tuesday night, felt fine Wednesday morning. #worthit

I got all of the errands done that I needed to do today. Then I ate (probably) way too much #tacobell 🌮

If you still wear a mask in public, too, high-five! I've had Covid-19 three times, and since the last time in Dec 2022, I've had uncontrollable tachycardia, worse joint pain than I had before, and short-term memory problems bad enough to piss off my loved ones. #covidsafe #covidisnotover

Hard same! I'm going to start now by getting off the internet and going to get my oil changed, then grocery shopping before more interneting! And also, #writing of course!

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
I agree. I start a new job Monday, so I need to relish these last 48 hours of total freedom from job stress.

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
I feel like it was the same way for my sister - I was 12 when she was born, and I was long gone from our parent's house by the time she developed her personality. She definitely got a better upbringing than I did. Now, we are not close. ☹️

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
Huh. Perhaps our situations were similar - but you were the smarter one. I kept trying to hold on when it seemed everyone knew it was a waste of my time.

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
Nice! Being able to enjoy a clean house makes for a good day. Also naps. 💚

My thinking is, if they'd really cared about us in the first place they probably wouldn't have left, and if they care NOW, it's more about their own loss than our pain.

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
Yes, one hundred percent, I am in that hurt right now and it is awful. I'm just trying to convince myself it's for the best.

Alison Mitchell @alisonmitchell.bsky.social · 02/12/2023
Ha! Nothing wrong with that (as long as it's faux, IMO - it makes me uncomfortable when people where the flesh of animal corpses). I hope you have a good day, too!

I loved the Sweet Valley High books when I was a kid - they made me want to have an identical twin SO MUCH. Then, my parents had my sister when I was twelve, and I wished I could have stayed an only child. The grass is always greener!

Good morning to the few people on this app who follow me, or ones who find this post. I'm going to try to have a better day than yesterday, how about you? #goodmorning

I have absolutely nothing against Furries, but I am wondering why, when I scroll through feeds that are suggested for me to follow, there are so many for Furries 🤔
