Helllllloooooo, Pollies!
Nash, I wish you a Happy Birthmonth! 
Carol, how is the business going?
Not much going on in my world. School ended on June 26th, and I have pretty much been a vegetable since. It is too hot to take my walks, so I have been hanging around the house (fridge), watching TV, and wasting the days. I wonder if I am depressed. I have no get up and go. No desire to do anything. Not sure if it is because of the heat, the fact that I am physically and mentally drained from the school year, or if I should talk to my doctor. Maybe I just need a hobby. Besides eating.
What do you think?

Jeanette,
You guessed it. You need a hobby. A cause. Something or someone else to focus on other than yourself to fill in your free time. I wake up depressed every morning . I know how that is. But once I get going, the depression goes away.
I don't believe in all the psychiatrist hoopla, certainly don't believe in the anti depressant drugs that are over prescribed. You just need to get your mind off of yourself.
I get you on the tv watching too. On those days when I have nothing to do (that I want to do) if I find a movie or tv show that grabs my interest , its a good diversion . My mood is uplifted and a good portion of my day is occupied with mindless tv. But I'm in a better mood . No longer depressed.
By the way. What tv shows are you hooked on. Lifetime Movies by any chance? I think I've seen them all at least 5 times.

Nash, I will watch pretty much anything when I feel blah. It’s more like the TV is watching me.

Hello pollies. Good to see you Jeanette! And you too Nash! Since I am a tad overworked these days, I am envious of you all with free time. My three buildings are booked most weekends and I get one here and there on weekdays. But thhe money goes into the fourth cabin still being built, so no income-just outgo. And I am getting some really sloppy folks on occasion. Took me 4 hours to clean one building last week! And the fellow who did our lawn left so I had too climb on the mower and do that too. DH went into the hospital last Sunday-they found nothing after two days of tests, but he still feels unwell🤔 And he is week cuz he wasn't able to eat much for over a month,so little able to help here.
Well, hey, aren't I the cheery soul? Bet you're glad I dropped in.
Jeanette, I have never found that being busy made me happier. Am pretty miserable right now trying to learn computer things, tie those things to my phone, cook, clean and be a caregiver. Isn't there something else you like besides food? Travel? Reading? Volunteer at a hospital? Swimming? Guess I'm no help to you here, but glad to see ya.

Carol, why are you building a 4th cabin if you are having such a hard time with the ones you already have? Especially since you have no help. You're going to end up in the hospital with DH!
When you say he feels unwell, what exactly is bothering him?
Are there any high school or college kids around who need to do community service? Maybe they can help you out for free.
I'm proud of you for learning all these new things!
I am thinking about going away for a long weekend like I did last year. I don't know where I want to go, but it needs to be close enough that I won't have to fly to get there. And I will read when I get there.

We are doing the fourth bldg. Because that was the plan. If all goes well we should end up owning one cabin outright. These cabins can be moved, so we are able to sell them. There are options. It was never supposed to be just me trying to do so much, and I feel certain that our tax lady won't be pleased with my files and ways of tracking guests and money. Am beginning to feel resentful and exhausted to be honest.
I hope you decide on a peaceful place of beauty for your reading vacation.
