I'm just real nervous & depressed over everything. Haven't felt the same way about anything since Parkinson diagnosis.

Yea it sure feels like a kick in the guts. Might be worth getting some mild tranquilizers if you are able from some doc? but the other very useful option is to access the services of a good counsellor who can talk things through on a caring but rational way. We all need help along the way and sometimes busy doctors can't always find the time unfortunately? Yes you do need medical interventions obviously for the Parkinsonism but that may take time - your emotional needs are immediate?

The worst thing to happen to me yesterday was finding two tiny cavities in my left-front teeth.

I have severe anxiety and for some reason my teeth have become a trigger-point for me, in recent months. I worry about them excessively and take extra care of them.

Now, having just had a cavity filled (and one re-filled) a few weeks ago, I've found two more.

I'm going for a clean and exam July 8th (sooner if they have a cancellation) and will schedule what needs to be done then, but in the meantime, I am searching for ways to calm my anxiety about it.
 
Worst thing happened a few weeks ago, but still fresh. I speak often of my niece, Julie. A few weeks ago her mom passed away at 86 years old. My brother (Julie's dad) is 15 years older than me. So I have pretty much known my sis in law my whole life. That, in and of itself, is hard.
But having to watch Julie grieve is the worst. I am very concerned for her mental health and well being. She is in grief counseling, but she can be like me...holding in emotions and not freely sharing.
PLUS...Her partner, Michelle, has moved out.....hopefully temporary. SO there is THAT!! I know Julie posted on FB recently that both Michelle and her dad were her rocks through all this, so I hope they can fix this. 😭😥

I fell off the ladder on the third rung when my slide started coming off and I slipped. I was hanging a planter for my neighbor. She said her son promised to stop by on Sunday and do it, but he never showed up. I asked her if she would like me to hang it and she was very delighted that I did it. She wanted to pay me, but I couldn’t take any money for such a simple job.

I enjoy doing favors for my neighbors. It helps to pass the time.
 
The worst thing to happen to me yesterday was my phone being completely cut off from the hive. I was on the first walk with Lucius and my affirmations stopped. I thought my phone was just switching from wifi to 5G, but no, it had no service. When I tried to text my husband I got a "This phone is not connected to a network. Emergency calls only" message. :eek:

Turns out it was a glitch caused by extending our network plan the day before and my son's new phone coming online.

All fine now and now we have unlimited data! Woot!

So, as far as worst things go, it wasn't so bad.

Hey, maybe I made someone happy that they found a dime.

Like @gruntlabor , I would have picked it up, too. This is legend I've always heard about it. And considering I found one immediately after my little brother's funeral, I'm not going to pooh-pooh it.

"In folklore, finding a dime is often seen as a spiritual sign, a message from a deceased loved one, an angelic presence, or a sign of good luck and being on the right path. It's considered a spiritual confirmation or a "hug from heaven," particularly if found at a significant time or place. Some interpretations connect the number "ten" on a dime to themes of new beginnings and moving forward."

I'd have been delighted to find it --an indicator of good luck, ten times the good luck that a found penny would have brought.!
I'd have polished it and kept it in a place of honor.

Speaking of lucky pennies... one of the more famous ones......
Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s lucky penny was a penny given to him by a Make-A-Wish child named Wessa Miller before the 1998 Daytona 500. Wessa, who had a severe illness, told him the penny would help him finally win the race. Earnhardt, who had never won the Daytona 500 before, famously glued the penny to his dashboard, and it remained with him through his historic win.
