🌞 This past week was another "mix" of things.. Last Saturday I started off the weekend simply taking a "Self-care" break.... So it was a quiet day at home, sleeping in for a bit, some outdoor time with the furbaby while enjoy the beautiful & mild Spring Weather, and then preparing for Easter Sunday~..... I didn't do any of my typical Saturday things, No fitness classes etc... so I just did a morning workout at home to start off the day... On Easter Sunday we celebrated at my Mom's home with a wonderful dinner & Spent most of the Day there... I simply just enjoyed being with my little family~
🌷 As the week started off, (without too much detail), a close family member became very Sick... and had to be admitted to the Hospital. They have been there all of this past week, and will continue to be there into the coming week ahead ... But they are getting better as each day passes (& hopefully for them, looking to get released early on in the coming week ahead).... With that being said, concerns were placed there while playing the waiting game throughout the week.... In between all of that craziness, I did Not do my best to stay on track with any type of meal-planning etc... But I simply just tried to eat as well as I could.... I did however stay on track with my workouts & was sure to get something in each day. Surprisingly with so much going on, I also managed to do rather well with my Sleep goals without even trying. Hydration also wasn't too bad either~
🌼 This weekend ahead, I'm just looking to try to get back on track with things, and finish up the last week ahead Stronger than this past week was... Intentions were initially for some travel-time North to enjoy the weekend.. However, I felt it best to stay local with my family member now still in the hospital... So intentions for now are to get in my early Saturday morning Zumba class, head to a local Spring Festival afterwards, and simply try to enjoy where the day takes us... Sunday more early Zumba, and then prepare for the last week ahead as I look forward to continuing on with my Goals for May~
Enjoy the Weekend~
@PoliteOcean I'm writing this early Saturday morning. Going back to last Saturday, I made my first video call using my Smart phone. Usually I don't like that because I'm in a bad mood all the time because of my chronic pain. The woman on the other end appreciated it. I don't like my new novel "Ruth" by Elizabeth Gaskell. She is a talented and gifted writer but for some reason it didn't grab me. My new pillow arrived and also my new jacket. I started to read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. It's a very famous book. I'm trying to line up medical appointments for May. It's difficult because a lot of alternative medicine practitioners have odd hours and don't have a receptionist. I dislike leaving messages because I never know when they are going to check them or get back to me. I can't find anyone in driving distance to give me a chakra adjustment. One applied kinesiologist wanted $450 for an initial consultation and it would take 90 minutes. That's way out of my price range and I can only handle a 30 minute appointment. Friday my groceries were delivered. I bought candy bars, Ho-Ho's, poptarts, and peanut butter. You know - the essentials. 🙂 I'm not diabetic so it's okay. My A1C is normal. I didn't go anywhere because Tunde is gone until May 6th. I love having my own bedroom with a TV. My mind is becoming more sensitive to how much muscle tension I have. I've been doing a lot of de-stressing after being abused by Stuart, James and Lemay. Leslie says nobody likes Lemay. I have a new move out date for moving out of Leslie's. It's August 30th. I'm really really hoping I can start my Certificate of Achievement in Art History this October. I also want to start my Certificate in Information Systems from Penn State World Campus. I've been more consistent with my devotional times and meditation times. My fungus has gone down by a lot. For this upcoming week I'm going to try to start reading "The Ambassadors" by Henry James. I'm not going to use "Washington Square" for my literature club. I dislike short books. For this upcoming week I have a therapy appointment with Jim on Wednesday for 30 minutes. I hope we can get to what I want to talk about right away. Sometimes Leslie serves me dinner in my bedroom which is great. Usually she charges a lot more money for that. I spent the whole month of April reading books I'm not going to use for my literature club. My biggest problem is Leslie's granddaughters are here for several hours every day and make a lot of noise.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo~ Congrats to you on making your first video call with your Smart phone… I know those can be a bit nerve-wracking sometimes… I think personally for me, if I can get away with not having to put in the effort to get ready and go out to an appointment, then I’d much rather do the video call~ Hopefully despite the chronic pain you have, that perhaps you found it easier for you as well? And it might even save you time/effort in the future should you have to do it again, or if for some reason don’t have a way to physically go in to an appt?… That’s too bad that you didn’t like your new novel. But that’s great that both your new pillow & jacket arrived! And hopefully for you, you’ll enjoy this next book that you are reading better... Good job on being proactive & productive in working on your May appointments.. (I like to take time to look ahead as well to see what I can knock-out & get done too ahead of time).. $450 definitely sounds like an outrageous price tag for any appt let alone a consultation! Yikes! 😳!! Thats definitely beyond anything I’d want to pay as well. But Hopefully things will improve and come together for you on finding something that works for you & fits the budget better!…. (Ha! “Essentials”).. 🤭.. It’s definitely good your A1C is normal for those “essentials” lol… I’m sure you are definitely enjoying your own bedroom with a TV as well, (it’s definitely the little things that can bring joy).. I think it’s awesome that you are making goals & plans again for a “move-out timeframe” going forward, as well as looking ahead at starting your Certificates in the Fall! Those are really positive goals to place focus on. Good for you. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼Amazing job on also being more consistent with your devotional & meditation times! .. Sounds like you are doing a lot of wonderful work there for yourself. As far as your Therapy appt with Jim, perhaps you can talk to him & let him know what you’d like to talk about or focus more on before starting your session that day?.. I know some therapists will “ask” first what you desire to talk about before starting a session. But I know that all aren’t the same. Again It sounds like you are doing a lot of great work for yourself and hopefully for you as you continue to focus on your goals, plans & intentions going forward, that all the other non-positive things will become smaller in your life. As the more positive things get bigger for you. Again keep up the great work and thanks for checking in to share your week. Please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go.
I had a good week. I hydrated with 8 glasses of water. My skin feels soft. I will keep hydrating well, everyday.
@LynnieListens

Keep up the great job that you are doing in staying hydrated daily. 👍🏼… Please keep us updated on how those goals are continuing to go for you. And thanks for checking in to share your week with us.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
I hope your family member gets well soon.
Welcome to the Weekend!~ How did your week go?!... (If you celebrated, How was your Easter Holiday)?! My week was hilarious. My last day of work was friday the 25th, but I quit on Wednesday. I woke up and didn't want to take a shower, so I quit. LOL My ex-boss sent me a mean email, so sent him one back. It had nothing to do with what he said. I told him off for not warning me what a dangerous place it was to work, while he was interviewing me. I also told him that I moved for that job. The amount of stress working there caused me was monumental. So I've been off for a blessed 3 days.
The bummer is that one of my profs wants me to rewrite 2 of my assignments. I wanted closure for the semester. Did I tell you this already? I'm working as fast as I can.
🌷 This is our "4th & Final" Check-in for the month of "APRIL"~ ... How do you feel the month went for you overall?!... What is ONE Word you would use to "Sum" up the month for yourself?~ Oh, I got a smallish scholarship. That's the good part of the month. Plus I got the new job for more money. My month would be usual.
🌼 As we move ahead into these last few days of the month, What is something that you are focusing on to finish this Month off Strong for yourself?!
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: What are "Three" Positive or Healthy Words that you would use to Describe yourself?! educated, nice, unstoppable
🌷 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?! Please see above.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree, Thank you so much for the well wishes regarding my family member. That’s very sweet of you and very much appreciated! ❤️
….
Wow… That’s great for you that you are not only done with your previous job, but that you were able to let your prior boss know exactly how you felt in working in what you deemed to be dangerous conditions for yourself. And especially not being warned about those things prior to hiring you!.. I’m sure that felt good to get that off of your mind?!… I know how sometimes particular work places can be so mentally exhausting, frustrating & challenging to put up with. (I’ve definitely had my share)… When I was younger I just put up with it, but the older I get, I realized just how much more important it is to protect our mental health & wellbeing… So it sounds like you did what you needed to do in order to keep protecting yours! (And I’m sure this break you’re on is feeling really good, & well deserved)!
Yes you did in fact mention the assignment/rewrite.. But no worries. I’m sure it’s something that continues to also have you stressed at the moment, which in turn is affecting your mental health as well…. … But it’s certainly a highlight for the month that you got the money you needed to continue on in your schooling! As well as the new job to continue to support those efforts & goals of yours! So I’m sure that is another huge load off your mind?! … Hopefully you will soon get the closure & peace that you need from this semester to follow as well!.. Good luck to you!
I love your “Positive & Healthy” words to describe yourself! I can definitely see ALL of those in you!! I think I would also definitely have to put “Unstoppable” at the “very top”! Because you have definitely proved that time after time! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great checkin for you this week Tree! You are doing amazing my friend! And you are certainly continuing to power through no doubt… Doing a great job there, so keep up the great work. And thank you for continuing to share your week with us and just letting us know how things are moving along with everything. And please continue to let us know how you are doing going forward.
