Invading Other People's Space

OMG!! I was standing in line this evening at the local pub waiting to order our meals. Anyway I am making sure that I am staying further enough behind the lady in front of me because of social distancing. I'm standing there for a minute or so and then I could almost feel breath on me or I could hear the breathing. So I turn around there is a woman older than myself standing about 20-30 centimetres away from me! Are you f**king deadset lady?! I could almost smell her breath on me and it was of alcohol! Lady, you are not socially distancing with a borderline who also has other mental health issues including social anxiety. Oh and I also have had my 3rd booster and so far have been lucky enough to not have had Covid!! Can you please back the f**k up?! The borderline in me wanted to turn around and say "Can you please move?", but the niceness in me thought, just breathe and shut your mouth!! Luckily the lady taking the meal orders was working extremely quickly and I got to the front of the line pretty quickly. But as I am ordering, I turn around this woman is still literally the same space away from me!! Bite your tongue Norty Borderline! 

Once I got back to the table with my Dad and my housemate my anxiety levels came back down (well the Jack Daniels may have helped with that as well. LOL) I was ok, but I seriously can not believe that just because we are no longer wearing masks all the time, that people are not practising social distancing. Covid is still around, so isn't social distancing still a thing? Can someone please correct me if I am wrong?

Anyway what are your thoughts on social distancing and covid etc? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
