I have been thinking about doing podcast on Mental Health and How to Survive A Pandemic, since my own life is turning around since I got my 1st dose of the vaccine. What started this was running into a friend yesterday who thought I killed myself after loosing my dog of 14 years. Oh sure I took things hard, but my life is turning around. Also I may not get another pet. I noticed of late when a pet is ill I feel very uneasy, and that is not a good thing right now. It might sound funny but I don't laugh or smile all the time. That happens when life has hit you as hard as me. My life has been dominated by members of my own family most of my life. Really it wasn't until 8 years ago after my brother died was the first time I ever lived on my own. Then go through a 5 year period where I was in and out of the hospital multiple times. Where I could have died multiple times, no kiddin at least 5 by my figuring. Last time in 2 years ago and still very healthy. To me digging yourself out of a very deep whole is normal for me. Also when I am fully vaccinated I can volunteer at the local Veteran's hospital once again. It makes me happy, helping those in need of a friendly ear to listen to them.
