I plan on working in the back yard until the big game comes on then watching that and relaxing 😌
@LostanLonely
Sounds like a lovely weekend, the Big Game will be surely a Big thing , saw it's all over the internet, guess most of the football fans will be on the screen watching.
Rest in bed until my hectic schedule starts again. Rest is very important
@AddictedTealover98
Hope you will enjoy your rest, it's a must to me when it get's hectic.
What is your favorite self-care and what are your plans for this weekend in respect of self-care? My favorite and my plans for the weekend are the same - see my girlfriend as much as possible.
@Offmytrack
Nice, are you watching the game together?
@amiablePeace77 Game? No, we usually cuddle a lot.
@Offmytrack
Cuddling is a lovely way to bond and also very healthy for us - helps to strengthen the immune system (just one benefit from many)
What is your favorite self-care and what are your plans for this weekend in respect of self-care?
Reading, drinking good tea, having a nice little cake, with a nice smelling candle beside me. I did some housecleaning today (for which I'm very grateful and happy) and I will do some more tomorrow morning. I will bake a cake and a bread für Saturday and Sunday, make my special meal for Saturday evening and Sunday noon. And then I will enjoy all those things while reading, listening to podcasts and relaxing.
@MAE1701
That's a well planned weekend. Just sitting somewhere in peace with a cup of tea and a small piece of cake, smelling a vanilla candle sounds already very relaxing. Have fun and enjoy your bread and meals
@amiablePeace77 Right now I feel like that one asleep in the trees. Hauling leaves is heavy work when they are wet.
Not sure about weekend but exericises and mindfulness practice for sure.
@soulsings
Hope you got a good rest.
I remember hauling leaves when in my country of birth, I would have never expected them to become that heavy when packed tightly in a bag. Found this video, it looks easy on the video but not sure if it's really that easy. https://youtu.be/Uj9yZVv1xSY.
@amiablePeace77 yes that works for people that bag their leaves. I compost them so this is more like what I do
@soulsings
That's a smart idea and yes, composting is much better - take from the earth and give back to the earth.
Going to begin the big redo of the backyard. Spring goal is for complete xeriscape and a new oak tree to attract squirrels for our indoor cats to watch. Looking forward to first physical activity in months to destress from work.
@AGander
Xeriscaping is a wonderful idea to help saving water 
, "Squirrel TV" for your cats too . Physcial activity particularly in the garden is a great way to destress. Hope you can make it a routine.
Hope everyone is well,
@scarletPear1945
I am well scarlet , hope everyone else too, how about you?
Self care? I took a break. No extra work. Didnt answer phone. Piddled thru my days, took care of routine stuff. Like cleaning the bathroom. vacuuming(very interesting word). Texted my therapist. And watched my dog sleep after walking. Now getting ready for work tomorrow. Isnt just the most interesting thing youve ever read? Tomorrow I will work. But one day, work will be #2. And I will stop feeling this way.
@Lauren63
Lauren, sounds very good, not always work , there is a life apart from work.
