I rarely eat breakfast these days but decided maybe I need to have some protein to move the numbers on the scale down a bit more. It's been stuck in the same place for a month. At least I've not gained. I'm having a little bit of...

MainerMikeBrown Working on the internet is often therapy for me. So it's important for me. Not having it at times due to technical issues is annoying to me.

It started last Monday showing the path of a new storm coming directly at Fort Lauderdale. By Friday the path had veered to the west so it looked like we just might get the outer bands of a hurricane. On Saturday it was declared...

MainerMikeBrown @BelleStarr Actually, I did find a therapist years ago who was the right fit for me. She helped me a lot. It's been years since I've been in therapy. However, I still see a psychiatrist for medication management purposes.

MainerMikeBrown @Butterfingers I don't force myself to eat foods that I don't like the taste of, even if they are rather nutritious and healthy for me. Instead, I eat foods that are both good tasting to me and are also healthy for me.

MainerMikeBrown @jvincent_129 What helps keep me sane is not watching the news on TV too much. I watch the news some so I can be informed about the virus. But I don't watch it too much and get all worried about the virus. The media likes to scare it's viewers, after all.
