Re:
I'm not sure what our gas prices are today. They change every day. I know it was at $4 a gallon last week. I know people on a limited budget are having a lot of problems with prices on everything going up. I've been trying to cut back because I just don't know where this economy is going at this point. I'm definitely on the mend and look forward to having my hot coffee again and being able to eat regular dinners. I hope you have a good day. It's raining again. It looks like we will be in the 40s today. I'm wondering if your daughter will still run her business when you move? I know her clients will miss her.

I totally agree with keeping bad news to a minimum. I don't pay any attention to Trump because he has great difficulty with the truth. I don't give liars any of my valuable time. Today was my first day of sticker shock so to speak when I put gas in my car after spending an incredible amount of money at the salon supply store for a mere 8 items, so the $4.26 per gallon didn't make me cry. Lol The offshoot of tariffs and transportation is eating into the profit margin. I give my daughter credit for not raising prices as they are raised on her. I know her clients appreciate it. She has kept her haircut prices the same as well. I know rain is better than snow but too much if either one weighs heavy on the mind. Hang in there great days are coming! I'm proud of you for taking care of your extractions. You'll be back to your morning coffee in no time!

Re:
BearcatMike, thank you for sharing such powerful words. I really think I've had such a hard time is because I had two teeth pulled out on opposite sides of my mouth. I think I should have had one tooth at a time. I'm just thankful they were in the back of my mouth. My reasoning was that I didn't want to have to go through it twice. It will be nice to be able to drink whatever I want to without worrying about it. I hope you have a good night.

I hope you will be able to drink whatever you want soon. You have incredible discipline. As for the negative news. It is important to keep the negative to a minimum. Your source is absolutely correct about eliminating the negative. There is a verse that says as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. I wish they had added "think" and "hear". Whatever we listen to will definitely influence our moods. The brain is so powerful. We definitely live in a negative world. Peace.

I thought I had better have a check-up at the dentist. Yes indeed the receptionist said come tomorrow. Eek! Can't I come next week I asked tentatively. I like to prepare for the event. Having to finish driving .I do have three people who offer to take me, but I like to just use local visits to suit them. One misses the car, but we all come to that.🌺

I try to keep negative news to a minimum. Doom scrolling is not good for the soul.

There are song lyrics with good advice from many years ago. "You've got to e-liminate the
negative, ac-centuate the positive, don't mess with Mister In-Between." Considering what's on the news reports these days, this takes some conscious effort. Also, "Don't worry, be happy."
