    the thing is that nowdays a film is on the telly in a couple of years…. or even a year. and just feel like it is a rip off as well. only to see it in a small screen. i think i have not been to the cinema i think it was about 2019.. films are expensive. i like to go alone as i hate people talking and leaving before the credit ends, i can spend that in a good meal. or something else. but i use to love going .. i guess getting old i feel more like staying at home.

    Only cost me £7 for a ticket for the cinema, add in free bus pass makes it worth while. But the main thing is it gets me out of the flat for a few hours, which is a feet in itself.

    i used to have a cinema pass., you pay monthly and i used to watch several films a month.. maybe it is worth trying to find a similar deal….. it was the price of about a film and a half.. also there are deals instead of watching it during the weekend.. etc… i might have to consider it… but then is also transportation…. etc…. films on the telly are always the same and they repeat continuously … might also consider netflix,,,,, or something similiar…. i am not sure….. at times i feel it is better to stay at home…

    Quiet day to say the least, didn’t wake up until nearly 11. Not been sleeping as much the past week, even taking antidepressants hasn’t helped the old insomnia. Just resting up but contemplating how much stuff I’ve got to do, washing, full flat clean and two planters to wallop and plant up. Then chuck in gp appointment, fluovid jabs and maybe a trip to the cinema. I’ve just buried my old swede in the sand since late September and let things get on top of me again.

    yesterday i went home and as i was tired i felt asleep like less than an hour.. so i woke up like 5 something…. if i take a nap even if is intentionally or not i wont be able to sleep later on so that was the case… i ended up watching telly and i went to bed i think it was after 3 pm… i have to make an effort not to fall asleep today so i can go to bed at 10 ish or so. i yes i woke up around 11 … i will stay at home as i said… weather is a bit so so.. and i need to keep warm. i will see what happens tomorrow… but i am always scared about everything…. i hope it is a good week coming…

    Sorry you're feeling so down @Catherine21. Grief never runs in a straight line does it, it's horrible. You can get triggered off by all sorts of things and it's no wonder you're not feeling good after what's happened with the psychologist. Hope things start feeling easier for you soon 💛

    Sounds like a busy week ahead @Zippy1983. What are you planning to see at the cinema if you get round to it?

    I hate it when a nap robs you of your night time sleep @Schildpad. Hope you can have a better night tonight and wake up feeling more rested.

    I am sorry for your pain, Catherine. We haven't met yet on this forum, I am thinking, but it can indeed be difficult when people seemingly turn towards joy and repress the sorrow. However, life is both, ain't it? Could be an interesting topic to pursue, if there wasn't so much shame and such around difficult subjects. What is it that things often need to look Instagrammable?

    Hang in there.

    Still I Rise…By Maya AngelouYou may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I'll rise.

    Does my sassiness upset you?
    Why are you beset with gloom?
    ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
    Pumping in my living room.

    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.

    Did you want to see me broken?
    Bowed head and lowered eyes?
    Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
    Weakened by my soulful cries?

    Does my haughtiness offend you?
    Don't you take it awful hard
    ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
    Diggin’ in my own backyard.

    You may shoot me with your words,
    You may cut me with your eyes,
    You may kill me with your hatefulness,
    But still, like air, I’ll rise.

    Does my sexiness upset you?
    Does it come as a surprise
    That I dance like I've got diamonds
    At the meeting of my thighs?

    Out of the huts of history’s shame
    I rise
    Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
    I rise
    I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
    Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
    I rise
    Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
    I rise
    Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
    I rise
    I rise
    I rise.
