Like A Broken Record

Geez…Not quite THAT broken. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

Still, the point stands.

I hope everyone has been doing well this week. Wanted to check in and say I was thinking of y’all.

Kind of ironic that today’s prompt is about health and well being. That’s where the “broken record” part comes into play.

I have not been posting as much for quite some time for a multitude of reasons: New job, different schedule, health stuff, etc.

Part of it is that I have been tied up with all those things, but part of it is because I am tired of coming here and sounding like a broken record.

I’m sure by now everyone is sick of reading “Job, health, job, heath…” every freaking post. I know I am damned sick of typing it.

I never really want to be the fellow coming around here just posting negativity and bitching. God knows there’s already enough of that in the world.

Yeah, posting the same ol’ shit yet again.

But, that said, it is, unfortunately, my current situation.

Next week I have a bunch of appointments going down. I am hoping that is at least a start on the road to recovery, if not the road itself.

This has been a very difficult week for several reasons. I am really struggling at the new job right now, and it’s made me become very discouraged the past couple days.

I hate being the reason anyone or anything gets slowed down.

We just got clobbered again today with high heat and humidity, which also taints my outlook.

Still sweating freaking bullets!

My back is also acting up a ton, and that really, really makes a rough day even rougher right now.

And then, to top it all off, it was such a bummer to hear about Ozzy Osbourne. Very saddened by this loss. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Next Week’s Triple S will be a proper tribute.

Until then, Rest In Peace, Ozzy. And thank you so much for the music and the memories.

On that note, as I look at the clock, it is almost time for bed.

I bid you all adieu, and wish you the best going into the weekend.

Stay Frosty, kiddos.

  5. I can relate so much! I’m getting pretty tired of sounding like a broken record too regarding not being able to write so much stuff of my own and instead basically just answering prompts and challenges. It’s temporary of course, but I hope I’ll get out of it soon and get creative and inspiring again.

    I wish you luck for the coming week โค๏ธ

  10. I once heard a saying that the blues is nothing more than a good man feeling down. Everybody needs to vent brother, without it more physical and mental problems arise. The stress your under is also probably adding extra pressure to the dilemma. I’m no doctor and hope all the appointments you have will shine light on the issues and soon having you swinging through the forest with happiness and good health. Try to relax the best you can and NEVER fell you are letting us down by ranting, hell I do it all the time. Peace & Love bro.

  15. For some of us, like you with your back issues and me with fibromyalgia, the heat and humidity are painful and exhausting.

    I’m sorry about Ozzy’s passing. His music was amazing. My husband, Marshall, was never saddened by the death of friends. He would simply talk about the joy that person brought to him. He’d think of them more often and smile. May thoughts of Ozzy make you smile, Kevin.

    1. Thank you, Mary. Yes, it has been a difficult and draining week. I have been doing my best to lay low and recover. I hope you are taking good care as well.

      Marshall certainly had the right idea. I admire that mindset. Let us not dwell on the bad. Let us remember the good. ๐Ÿ™
