🌻 This past week was rather a hectic one... and I'm glad to have made it through it. I spent the first part of the week helping and assisting a loved one through a surgery & recovery. By mid-week I was pretty much a Zombie and completely exhausted from it all. I did however stick to healthy eating, and getting in my step goals while waiting at the hospital. But getting good sleep was almost null & void. But in the Grand scheme of things, I'm just so happy for my loved one that they are back on track and on the road to recovery.
🌞 By Thursday I was able to put a little more time into myself again, got back on track with better rest, and was able to finish up the week with my Group Fitness & Aqua classes. I'm still feeling "elated" over helping out with the 'Warm-up' from last weeks class. And It makes me feel more determined than ever to get back to instructing in a manner that I will be happy with, comfortable with, and have more balance with as well. While also continuing to help others.
🌻 This weekend has been a beautiful one so far, and we were able to get out and about and enjoy the beautiful day that this first day of Fall has brought. While its still quite lovely and warm here, its really nice to not have all the excess heat & humidity. I got out and did a little bit of shopping and took a nice drive.... My pool is now closed for the year, and I'm ready to focus on my Goals for this last quarter of the year ahead.
@PoliteOcean sends wishes of good health to your loved one ❤ yaaaay! For cooler weather😁 what is aqua fitness?
@Tinywhisper11
Hey there Tiny!
Thank you for the Well-wishes they are appreciated! ❤️
Also, Aqua Fitness is any type of “Exercise in the Water”. (Aqua Aerobics, Aqua Zumba, Aqua Kickboxing)! Etc..etc…All of them are amazing and Soooo much fun. Especially if you like being in the pool and water! (Which I certainly do). 😊
@PoliteOcean
I am doing well. I visited my momma 83 years old who had another stroke. She is doing okay ✅. I brought out crafts to do with her and her friends in the personal care home. I visited my aunt 70 years old whose daughter died of a a drug overdose to help support her through this difficult time.
I continued to walk while on the road. I my food intake was pretty good overall. Just super tired now that I am home. Grateful to be able to support my family.
I am back to routine now back home.
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Despite dealing with so much this week, it’s great that you are doing well!
We are quite sorry to hear about your mom & her Stroke. I’m sure it’s been quite a challenging time for you both. But it’s really great that she is doing ok. And that you were able to visit with her and bring her things that she enjoys! Im sure that visiting with her and spending time with her (and her friends) brought her much joy! Plus it also aides in her recovery!
And despite all that’s going on with your mom, your aunt is also quite blessed to have a niece that is able to make time for her during her times of difficulties as well. She is lucky to have you as a support system.
I thinks it’s awesome that you were able to keep up with walking, eating well, and making time for yourself through all of this. And that you are now back home and into your routine again…..(I can certainly relate to all of this after this week as well!) And it truly is an amazing thing to have such great support in our families.
Hopefully you will get the rest that you need for yourself this weekend! And thank you so much for checking in and sharing your week with us!
Please keep us updated on how things are going and how your mom has been doing.
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful God bless you ❤ I hope your mum is doing ok, I'm sorry about your cousin 😥 sends my condolences to your aunty and your whole family. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤❤squeezes you tightly
This season I’m looking so forward to the beauty of the trees and indulging in all fall activities! I love handing out candy with my father and step mother, and I love dressing up and bringing out my inner child for a night. I love the drink flavors that are out, and the crisp smell to the autumn air. I love pumpkin pie, grape season, and apple picking 🍎 ! This is my favorite season and I’m so glad it’s upon us! If I could pick anywhere to live it would be a cabin with a loft in the mountains over looking a beautiful view filled with trees and wildlife! Happy autumn everyone! Enjoy the beauty the world has to offer! Cheers and much love to you all!!
@AnimalLover1125 happy Autumn lovely ❤❤ cabin in woods great choice. Except I would of picked the lake house. Cabin will have lots of hairy scarys in it😱😱(hairy scary=spiders) I wouldn't like that part ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
Tony tiny tiny! I miss you so much! It’s so great to hear from you! Okay okay you’re totally right to many spiders didn’t think about that. Can I move it now please! We will be the best roommates ever!!! I love you tiny!!!
@AnimalLover1125 my lake house is big enough for us both ❤❤❤
Yes!!!!! Whoot whoot !! Can’t I miss you I saw you in chat the other day, but I had to schdoodle because i needed to study! Come back! Love you tons my tiny! 😊😊
@PoliteOcean My weekend has been going alright. One thing I've accomplished in the past week is getting an A on my test. A highlight from my week is that I was able to make a new friends in class. One struggle is that I'm falling behind on my math class. My favorite part about autumn is thanksgiving because my family can enjoy a day off together and eat a nice meal.
@jzheng2025🎉🎉well done in your exam 🎉🎉 that's great news ❤and you have friends outside cups😮😮😮 traitor😮😮😂😂😂😂 yaaay! Thanksgiving meal ❤❤
🌞 Hey there everyone~ How are you doing today?...How is your weekend going so far?
It's stressful and busy, and I am unfortunately always struggling with image issues, but there is also lots of good. It's beautiful weather, and my husband and I enjoyed it while we were squeezing in some chores today. It is the first properly grey drizzly day we've had here -- just in time for autumn!
🌻 We have ONE week left in this Month of September, ... what is something you are looking forwards to, or hoping to get accomplished in the last week ahead?
Coming close to the end of the busy season at my work. Not quite this coming week, but still every day we're closer to being on the other side. Once our deadlines come I can only hope for a good review, so my job is secure for another few years.
🌾 We have "Officially" entered the Season of AUTUMN (Fall) for Many of us.... What is your MOST favorite part about this Season?!....What are some things that you look forwards to the most this time of year?
This time of year my city is starting to be even more beautiful. The fog here is my favorite weather, and when it is cold and foggy I am so very happy. I have the most beautiful walk to work, then.
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE "ONE" , which will it be?!.... a BEACH-HOUSE, a CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, OR... a HOUSE ON THE LAKE?
Definitely a beach house. Salt water is so much nicer to swim in than lake water. And I love mountains too, but I love to swim too much (:
🌻What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
The best thing I did this last week for myself during this crazy time at work is spend time painting in the late evenings. It's overtime, so there isn't a lot of spare time, but I'm not going to be able to do any useful work from 19:00-20:00 anyway, so I figured I may as well spend that time doing something that uses a different part of my mind from all the work. It's been very nice, and it hasn't made me feel more exhausted, like I worried it would.
@nordurnStar good luck with work ❤❤ and yaaay! Painting is very therapeutic, I like to paint too 😁❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 I'm sure you are much better than I am, but it is still a great way to spend a night 😊
@nordurnStar the best thing about art is there's no right or wrong way to do it. Even the worst of painters can create beautiful art ❤ so we are both amazing in our own ways ❤
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star,
Despite the stressors it’s so great you were able to see the beauty in the day and take time to enjoy the weather.
I must admit I haven’t heard many say that they enjoy foggy or dreary weather (more than sunshine), but it’s great that you do and that it’s something that works for you and makes you happy. There are times that I do prefer a dreary day here over a sunny one (but it’s mainly when I dont want to feel obligated to do much)! Lol
I agree with you in that I love to swim too. I’d stir a beach house (and being at the beach at all) ANY day! Great choice 👍🏼
Great job to you on taking time for yourself amidst the struggles of the week, and doing something that you enjoy with painting….While also relaxing your mind a bit. Keep up the great work at incorporating time for SelfCare. It’s so very important that we do that for ourselves.
Thank you for checking in and sharing your week with us! Please continue to let us know how things are going.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
Hey there everyone~ How are you doing today?...How is your weekend going so far? I think I'm fighting off a bug. My kitty is sneezing, too.
🌻What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I had a good week at work. Unfotunately one of the students who reports to me got busted doing something she shouldn't have done. She already had an attitude, and wednesday night she got busted. Thursday night she called off. Let's see if she comes back to work next week and still has an attitude. It's her problem to deal with. I already did my part and reported her to my boss. I'm still on probation so I have to let my bosses know if anything happens during my shift.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
Oh no! Something seems to be going around as I’ve seen some others said the same thing. It’s that fine of year and allergies are also very high this time of year too. Sending well-wishes and positive vibes for both you and your Kitty for speedy recovery!
A cool house in the city is nice too. Me personally I just enjoy being around water. I find it to be so therapeutic. I don’t think I’d want anything in the mountains though!! I’ve seen to many crazy movies Lol
Despite dealing with a troublesome student, Thats great that you still had a good week at work. It can certainly be difficult dealing with problematic people and co-workers. But it sounds like you did the right thing. I certainly would’ve made that decision too. Being at work can already be challenging at times, but to come to work and deal with other’s attitudes is another. Not something that we should have to put up with while trying to our jobs…. Hopefully the week ahead will better regarding that! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things are continuing to go. And for sharing your week with us.
@PoliteOcean I'm typing this on my Obama phone which is an ordeal. Here's how the past week went. Monday morning I called my agency and they read me a list of 8 potential caretakers over the phone. I called all of them Monday afternoon. Tuesday some one named Alesa came over and I hired her to be my caretaker. She was supposed to start on Wednesday but she never showed up. Another poor person with a poor work ethic. Tuesday night Dennis died around 8:30 p.m. Now I don't have to listen to him curse at Alan or Amanda every morning. Wednesday afternoon I called this fellow named Charles "Chuck" and offered him the job of my caretaker. He has come over for an interview on Monday. Thursday was his first day of work and he actually showed up. He also worked on Friday. I still can't get on the internet 😭. Leslie is a bad bad person 😭. Tuesday morning there were no glasses in the kitchen so I had to drink my blue juice smoothie directly out of the bottle. For this upcoming week I'm going to try to look at an apartment so I can move out of here.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ it’s nice to have you checking in this week. Sorry to hear about yet another caregiver not showing up. I’m really at a loss on that. Have you ever reached out to any of the agency’s about these caregivers who are taking the job but then just not showing up? It really is such an odd situation. And seems the agency should be doing something about that. But that’s good for you that someone did finally show up and has started. Hopefully that situation goes better. I think it’s Also good that you intend to look for another place to stay. If you are paying to live some place that you don’t like or desire, nor care for the people there, then that sounds like the best idea for your situation. Especially if your caregiver works out for you, then you will have the extra help you need when you need it. Oh wow on Dennis. I wouldn’t wish death on anyone as that’s bad Karma where that’s concerned. And That’s so crazy for him. What happened to him? It’s good your phone worked for you to be able to check in and share this week. Continue to keep us updated on things and on how your caregiver is working out. As well as the apartment hunting.
