**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
☀️ This past week was a bit busy... Last weekend started off by squeezing in an impromptu Beach trip... I relaxed, enjoyed, & had great weather while there. It was nice to refresh & regroup again before beginning a busy week.~
🌊 As the week itself came rolling back in, It started back off with an appointment... Then back to business with usual Work, Errands/tasks, Fitness classes, Early morning outdoor time with the Furbaby to "beat the heat", as well Volunteer work, & having to squeeze in another appointment before weeks end... I'm continuing on in my personal August Wellness goals. And Sleep, Hydration & Activity goals have been going well~
🌴 This weekend ahead will be another "Scorcher" here, (as well throughout all next week🔥), with nearly 100-degree temps!... I have no heavy or concrete intentions so far, other than some Pool-time, & getting in my workouts to start off each day~... And some relaxing before starting off the week ahead~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean Hi Ocean. How are you. I spent most of this week dealing with login issues for my Amazon account. It was extremely aggravating. Also my Smart phone was absolutely inundated with pop-up adds. I haven't been able to install a pop-up blocker. I'm making good progress on my reading goals. The big problem is that if a web site wants to send me a verification code by email or SMS it is super difficult to check it and stay logged in because I cannot switch windows on my Smart phone. A few weeks ago I bought a handheld TENS machine for my neck and a motorized cupping device for my thighs. My caretaker has been absent all week because they were on vacation. It's cool because I can take care of myself around the house. I'm trying to think if there is anyway I can be more effective with my hydration goals. I started to take Liquid Glycerol but I have no way of knowing if it's helping. I also started to take phosphoric acid internally but I don't know if it's helping. My new pair of jeans arrived. I hate wearing dorky clothes. For this upcoming week I have a massage scheduled for Wednesday. I desperately need a laptop but I can't afford it now. I don't have a printer where I live and it's caused me a lot of emotional distress.

Hey there!~ So nice to have you join us again!… Sounds like you had a rather challenging time dealing with your phone this week. I’m sure that can cause some aggravation there... But How nice that you were able to get yourself a Tens unit. I had a “makeshift” one once, it seemed pretty decent at the time.. Never had a cupping device though. How are they both working for you so far?!.. Have you found them to be beneficial to you? That’s really great that you are working on your hydration goals. Definitely important during these warmer Summer months... I have personally found electrolytes to help meet my own goals during these hot months, and in the dry winter months as well. But perhaps having a water tracker if you don’t already have one, could help in ensuring you are at least meeting your own personal minimum requirements? And there are definitely ways to tell whether your hydration goals are effective just simply in the way you might feel physically should you even mildly become “dehydrated”. (Whether through thirst, headaches, fatigue, urine output), etc… Just a few things to take note of.. How nice you have an upcoming massage scheduled for yourself. Definitely great for National Wellness Month & taking care of yourself. Hopefully you eventually find that all the other things come together in some way with your phone, eventually a laptop, as well a printer. Definitely all important items when you really need them. So it’s understandable. Thank you for checking in again to share your week with us. And please continue to keep us updated on how things are going. And how you’re doing!
@PoliteOcean
I prefer a low temperature 😂💚
I'm sweltered and finding it hard to sleep.
But making the best of it 🥰
My favourite time of the year is around the corner so cannot wait.
I'm otherwise good.
Hope you are well Polite 🩵
@Amanda84
Amanda!! So lovely to see you this week!! 👋🏼🙂👋🏼💕
Lol.. yes I remember you saying how you prefer the colder weather. Understandable that not everyone can tolerate the Summer heat. 😄 .. Glad that you are able to make the best of things though… (Soon enough us Summer-lovers will have to do the same when It’s time for us to freeze 🥶 again) 😩 … But Autumn is typically Lovely for sure..
So Good to hear that you’re doing well and again so happy to have to stop by, say hello & share with us this week! Please don’t be a stranger! 💕💕
☀️ Hey all, Welcome to the Weekend~... How has your week been? At work, my week was productive....at home not so much......I've kind of lost my mojo somehow and spent every day after work with my feet up doing really nothing at all but watching television, neglecting household chores, my fitness routine, and all the usual things.....don't know why or what caused this but I need to get back at it....one minute I have great intentions, the next I'm like "forget it".......and for whatever reason, that wins....
🌴 This is our "3RD" Check-in for August~... And we are now Half-way through this Month~ .. This time of year may start to give us those "In-between" vibes or feels.. My in between is becoming reality....I already have leaves falling in the yard and piling up in the corners of the fence where the wind blows them......its depressing because its too early for this....Especially as we start to round the corner towards the last quarter & stretch of the year... What's been something that you felt Motivated or simply Inspired by recently, Or that keeps you moving in a positive direction?! My current headspace has me unmotivated as of late....maybe I'll save this question for when I can get my mojo back....
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: It's Still Summer-time, & it's been a HOT one!... WHAT Indoor Temperature do you prefer in the Summer?!... What is your Thermostat currently set at in your home?! So weird story....when we are up here in New England, we keep the window units set at 66 in the bed room and 68 in the living room, and are comfortable......when we are at our other place down south, we keep the central air unit set at 72, anything lower than that seems "too cool"....I'm not sure if it has to do with central air vs window units or what, or maybe its all in my head.....its just a weird phenomenon....
🌴 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through Challenges in a Healthy Way?! Still working through this "I wanna be lazy" challenge that has set in....we will see how it goes this weekend.....
🌊 What is something else that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add, Or Share with us this week?!... We want to hear from YOU~ Thanks for engaging us again with some great questions....Have a wonderful week......
@CyclingThroughLife
Hey there Cycling 🚴 ~
Sometimes having what we feel might be an unproductive time, may be exactly what we need in the moment, (Physically, mentally and emotionally)… The way I see it, is that if we are spending the “majority” of our time tending to the daily usuals of Work/tasks/errands/goals & daily regimens of life, then taking that same amount of time out for ourselves only “every now & then” to do nothing can be good too & just as needed?!
Yes I totally understand those “in-between feels” as well... I feel it’s why I posed this question this week?! …. (Driving down the Highway to my workout class this morning, the sun was shining, the skies blue, the weather already hot, & Summer feels all around me)… (But yesterday as I was walking my dog in our usual place, I noticed all the smaller baby-trees turning dry , 🍂 losing their leaves, & laying all over the place)…. Definitely a whole other vibe. I even noticed how it’s getting darker earlier than just a week or two ago. Not something us Summer-lovers can always fully appreciate! Especially when it’s only August still…. So I totally understand it.
As far as temps & units.. I definitely think it has to do with Central Vs. Window… When I lived up North (using Window devices), Vs. Now living in the South (all Central), it definitely makes a difference! I actually have to keep my central unit here in the South on 79!!! Anything lower than that is FREEZING 🥶! Lol.., So it’s surely not in your head!
Try not to think too hard on those “lazy feels” .. after all it is the weekend. So try to enjoy! The New week ahead of us will be here soon enough Cycling, & Perhaps it’ll be the week where you’ll be feeling more like yourself & back on plan & track with things. And no doubts that it’ll come together for you… Take it one day & one thing at a time. 👊🏼 And Remember it’s also National Wellness Month, & sometimes doing nothing or taking a break from everything is taking care of our overall wellbeing!
So glad you were engaged with the questions again this week! And always glad to have you check in & share your week with us Cycling~ So please continue to keep us posted & updated on how you’re simply doing! Take care & May your headspace soon be back to where you desire things to be~

. What's been something that you felt Motivated or simply Inspired by recently, Or that keeps you moving in a positive direction?!
this quote helps me remember i not my disability but a person with disabilities
It is so important to showcase people with disabilities with intersectional identities because that allows viewers to see beyond disability. People with disabilities are multilayered, we are complex breathing human beings defined by more than just what we lack.” – Lauren Ridloff
🌊 In what Small ways were you able to celebrate or prioritize yourself Physically, Mentally, or Emotionally this past week?!...
just by taking time off being online most the weekend i did not come online but end up resting and just playing games and watching movies on tablet also got more rest then i have been
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: It's Still Summer-time, & it's been a HOT one!... WHAT Indoor Temperature do you prefer in the Summer?!... What is your Thermostat currently set at in your home?!
around 65F right now it about that inside without having AC it been hot inside a lot this summer i ready for fall weather
🌴 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through Challenges in a Healthy Way?!
just being alone home aid did not come on Friday so was home alone with no ability to get out so it was 4 days without her coming this hard on me as i not go out much without someone with me due to getting dizzy i end up resting a lot and playing games and watching movies that helped
@stormieandpaws
Hey there~
That’s so great that you have a Motivational quote to reflect upon for yourself when needed. One that helps inspire you & that also helps you in keeping up positive vibes about your disability.
Taking time off-line & resting when needed for your overall wellbeing, is definitely a great way to focus on yourself. As well do something good for yourself.. What movies did you enjoy watching?!
Seems like there are many that enjoy the Fall season. I know it can be a nice transition before the winter months come in, Since it’s still nice & mild, but without the extra humidity or heat.
Sorry to hear that your Aid didn’t make it to your home for a few days & that you weren’t able to get out & about. I know how just having a change of scenery can be so helpful in our wellness. It’s great that you were still able to be productive by filling your days with things that were both beneficial & enjoyable to you.. (Such as getting in the needed rest, as well as having games & movies to occupy your time).
It’s good to hear from you this week. And we’re so glad to have you share with us to let us know how you’ve been doing! Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you!
