Hi! I hope you are well and thank you for your support.
I am doing ok going to Physical Therapy this morn. Feeling the brunt of life a bit but this to shall pass. I did the body scan
@scarletPear1945
I hope you feel better today. ❤️ Life never stops offering us challenges but it also never stops changing. I started to value more and more the days things go well.
@amiablePeace77, 1. I had a strange week. First, a trouble maker at work no longer works at my place of employment. So, that is good. Second, two women that I work with decided to act strangely. One of them threw a temper tantrum and the other decided to be uncooperative. It was out of the twilight zone. Today I was doing yard work and got stung/bit (I don't know if they bit me or stung me) by wasps about 6 times. I found out I am not allergic to them so that is a good thing. And it didn't hurt as much as some people describe. I've stubbed my toe and it hurt far worse than the stings/bites. So that is the good part of it. 2. I am going to relax the rest of the day. :)
@purpleTree4652
Seems you had a really mixed week. Glad that you're not allergic to wasp stings, 6 times is a lot!
Hope your toes is better now, toes can be really sensitive. What did you do for relax? 😊
What's been the highlight of your week? My music lesson
How are you going to treat yourself in the weekend? Do nothing.
@Offmytrack
Music lessons sound like fun, what are you learning at the moment?
@amiablePeace77
Nothing. I play songs I know for her.
What's been the highlight of your week?
I printed up the short story I wrote for the first time and asked someone to read it. Now I'm nervous about her reaction.
How are you going to treat yourself in the weekend?
The usual - go to my mom's for lunch each day, watch a little TV, go for a bike ride if the weather is cooperative.
@WharfRat I can relate to you feeling nervous about your friend reading your short story. I took a creative writing class once and had to read my story out loud, it was it was terrifying! I hope that it goes well with your friend reading yours.
@adventurousBranch3786
Reading a story out loud to the class would be difficult. I had a speech class years ago which was horrible. Had a screen-writing class where we all read each others' work, too. That wasn't quite as bad.
@WharfRat
I would be nervous too, it's something special to share a self-written story. I wish you all the best 🤞.
Sounds like a great weekend! Where did you go with your bike?
@amiablePeace77
The weather and I didn't get along and I didn't get to ride. Maybe tomorrow.
Hi Ami:
The “highlight” of the week was fixing a fan that just hummed, but wouldn’t spin.
I don’t know how I will treat myself this weekend. I’m open to suggestions...
@UberRuminator
Congrats to fixing your fan! Great job.
For the next weekend, how about making it a retreat weekend with meditation, healthy food, a walk outside, maybe a warm bath and self-massage? 😊
How was this weekend, what did you do?
@amiablePeace77
The fan was a very simple fix - just had to take it apart and oil it.
I can try the meditation. Because of my medical situation, I almost always eat healthy food. I may not be able to walk, but I can sit outside if the weather is nice. Not really much of a warm bath or massage guy.
This weekend was okay. Didn’t really do too much apart from raking leaves and tinkering with the lawn mower.
Hope your weekend was more exciting.
@UberRuminator
Sitting outside sounds nice. What could you do to make your weekend more exiting? Are there any things you always wanted to explore?
@amiablePeace77
Given my health issues, any exploration I do would likely have to be intellectual. Perhaps I can find a video or something where I can learn something new.
@UberRuminator Hi, I hear you, I can't get around much due to health issues. I am thinking about taking a class on zoom. I hope that you can find something interesting.
@adventurousBranch3786
What class are you going to take?
@UberRuminator Hi, I am might take a Spanish class or a creative writing class. I also attend some discussions here on 7cups.
@UberRuminator
Not everything can be done when having to deal with health issues, hugs, but have you checked the DIY network? There are many things one can do without having to move around a lot.
@amiablePeace77
Is that a TV show? I don’t have cable, satellite or streaming TV service. I just have old-fashion TV that you get with an antenna. I’m sure there is a ton of stuff online though.
@UberRuminator
You can find the diy network here online https://www.diynetwork.com/.
You will also find lots of things to explore here https://www.7cups.com/home/hobbyzone/
@amiablePeace77
Thanks for the links Ami.
@UberRuminator
You're very welcome.
@amiablePeace77 Hi, my highlight of the week was doctors appointment because my lab results were good from following my prescribed diet more. I hope that I can continue to do this😊. I did treat myself on Saturday to some plantains, they were so good!
@adventurousBranch3786
Hey that sounds wonderful branch! Keep it up 😊
mmmh plantains are yummy! Did you fry or steam them?
@amiablePeace77 I usually boil/steam them at home. But my partner brought me home some fried ones and I just couldn't resist!
@adventurousBranch3786
Your boyfriend seems to know exactly what you like 😊
