Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

You can set up installment payments, Bones. I think it's either monthly or quarterly time periods... with the first one sent in with your tax form. If you have TurboTax, the info on how to set this up will be in there... there's probably a form you have to include. Or just check the IRS website - it's gotten easier to navigate (not a lot... but some).

Thanks, P.R.

I hate the idea of having to choose between the tax bill or food/medications/housing.

Woke up at 4:30 this morning feeling anxious.

I don't blame you, Bones!

I'm really sorry for all the uncertainty you're feeling.

Is there anyone in 3-D you can talk to about some assistance?

Hops

Hops

I'm not sure what 3-D assistance that I am eligible for.

It'll be OK, Bones...

You can tackle the issues, if you only deal with one thing at a time - pick one thing; do what you need to do... rest or reward yourself... then pick one more thing.

At the university, we had a "community nurse" who pointed out that the quickest way to lower stress levels, was to learn realistic expectations on how much could be accomplished in one day. Instead of a long list of things... she suggested that there was really only enough time to do 5 things. (I've since learned that 3/day is more comfortable for me... and enough for me to feel I've been "productive"; each of us has our own comfort zone here, I think.) And sometimes, there's even an "order" that things need to be done in... what I call "dominos"... I can't accomplish the real goal until I accomplish about 5 other things first - they're prerequisites, you know?

It will be all right...

It's hard to break through the Depression.

Yeah, it is...

and it's really interesting the kinds of things that really work vs all the usual advice, which doesn't. For me... doing something = having some control = feeling better... that's where my "just pick one thing and do it" comes from.

I am trying to do that.

Irregular sleep not helping much.

[Hopalong]

Dang, I wish you could get one really good HOT water magnesium salts bath.

Shoot.

First time I did it I was amazed how it changed my sleep.

But maybe oral magnesium could help too.

Trying to figure out how to do this in spite of the physical challenges.  Even swallowing can be a challenge with various medications due to the way my jaw and palate were mal-formed at birth.  At one point, I thought I found a solution regarding multi-vitamins when I found a drink mix I could use with bottled water.  I thought, "PERFECT!  This will take care of both my vitamin needs and hydration needs at the same time!"  Then I couldn't find it any more!     When I contacted the company, they informed me that they discontinued the product and suggested I cut up or crush their tablets.     I have NO interest in that kind of hassle!

Lots of thoughts going through the brain this morning after waking up at 5:00 AM.  One of them is feeling appalled about a case I watched on Judge Judy yesterday involving a pit bull attack.  The defendant/owner of the pit bull had the unmitigated gall to counter-sue, claiming the plaintiffs beat his dog excessively WHILE THE DOG WAS STILL ATTACKING, BITING, AND HAD ALREADY KILLED THE PLAINTIFF'S DOG IN FRONT OF THE PLAINTIFF'S FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD!!!!  HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?
