Random DIY mixing and More

Good morning flavorers!

I suppose it was a fairly sure bet I would not be doing yoga now ,although I could. I'm just needing to recalibrate and I did yoga 2 days I a row. Rest up day.

I woke all discombobulated and wound up in the husband's bathroom. That place is scary because it has a large mirror so I saw a shadowy figure walking toward me. I stopped just in time.

I tried really hard to not spill coffee but I did, a whole cup. Mostly into the sink but I cleaned up tehr rest, you know?

Can't say my mornings are boring exactly, I guess.

Hopefully your day goes better.

Dude no! It is a fabulous morning! No walking into walls or anything! (That I remember) or like hitting my head on stuff.

I hope my day goes well though too I think it will either be totally dead (the clinic) or totally flooded, who KNOWS.

Something in between might be nice.

Good morning mixers. Back to work. My boss fired/let go one of our delivery drivers this morning. The guy was a horrible worker and constantly lied. He had been off for the past week and a half supposedly sick but didn't have the virus. Anyway, he really won't be missed. He screwed me over several times on equipment that he was supposed to return to customers and "forgot" to take.

That is what is known as addition through subtraction.

Struggling a little here. I have a probably fairly unique problem. I tend to get agoraphobic, which I've been doing really REALLY well with the past 5 years. Only now, I'm told to stay in. Which just reinforces outside = bad/dangerous. My brain totally doesn't need this. Trying to get outdoors every day in the yard or for walks, and hoping I don't backslide too badly.

On the positive side, I'm pretty OK with being here alone. I have yard work, knitting, and PC gaming. It's monotonous, and I can't remember which day it is anymore, but I guess that's normal right now.

Hoping you can keep positive.

Good riddance to one of them.

Maybe just go thru the motions without thinking about it?

Thanks! We are bouncing off the walls with boredom (especially my 6 year old) but everyone is safe. I hope you are well too

So far!

Me too, losing track of which day it is. It's all becoming a blur.

I swear people ask more of me working from home...if that's even possible as I work my .... off on a good day. sigh I think some people have nothing to do and are creating busy work which always entails asking me for information. There is a difference in being productive with important work as opposed to just filling in blank time to feel important. Nothing feels different to me working from home except I'm working harder. I'm still mentally exhausted at 4 pm at quitting time and it all feels the same. I just keep thinking September 1st...when I reach my retirement. I hope things feel different after that date. People say you do feel different just knowing you can take your lunchbox and go to the house any time you wish. I'm going to keep working since I feel I need to maximize my money...but I'm throwing a party on that day! Let me check my retirement calculator...147 days/14 hours/0 minutes/50 seconds.

WOOHOO!!!

I was talking to Mom last night and I told her I'm not sure I'll ever feel the same about leaving my house. I do not have agoraphobia. I can only imagine how this virus has magnified your issue! I'm hoping for a vaccine very soon so none of us will have to worry about coronavirus again. I think you've got the right idea. Get outside and do projects. Completing a project will make you feel good at least. Hang in there!

I couldn’t help noticing that I have way more NETs mixed than anything else. I’ve really been putting off writing any new recipes and I need to get with it.

Welcome to the club.
What's so wrong with NET flavors, anyways ?

I'll say that, too.

I was actually "eligible" for retirement for about 3 years before I did, and knowing I could at any time say "I'm out in 30 days" (time needed for the processing and such) did make it a lot more fun.

GOOD Morning Random Mixers!

What do you play on the PC? I play on Xbox but the wife plays WoW on PC.

That's what I've heard. Just reaching your time changes you and everything gets better. I've thought about retiring on time and finding another job like some people do. But there is a lot to be said for being comfortable in your current job. It exhausts me to think about starting over somewhere else. I do work hard but I get to leave most days on time. I know what to do. I know what to expect. I enjoy my job. Good benefits. There are more pluses than minuses. I'm ready for the fun part though!!!

I usually mix 5-30ml bottles every 10 days. Average 15ml's per day(DL vaping). Always have 15 bottles in a box in my closet, this allows for one month steep time.
Today I added the following to my rotation:
Spiked Custard
Vanilla Madness
Blackberry Lemonade
Butterscotch Ripple
Dark Bourbon Cream
Mixed the following for next month:
Apple-Bacco
Blackout
Devils Food Cake
Forest Mix
Pineapple Cake
This does not count what I have already mixed, which keeps me on a 4 week rotation, which works for me.
All of this information just proves how bored I'm getting.

It’s hard. A couple times a week Himself takes me on a drive around the neighborhood to “sightsee”. I can’t watch the pets/kids on bikes/walkers and enjoy the scenery and drive at the same time. The car feels safe to me, and it keeps me from holing up so badly. I realized I was slowly cutting out spending time in the other rooms and staying back in the master suite. We’ll get through this, I promise.
