**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🌞 This past week was a little busy... Last weekend we got out & about, enjoyed the weather, some light shopping, ran a few errands, checked out a local festival, enjoyed some Pool-time, etc... As the week started, I continued to keep on track with goals & commitments to myself (Meal-planning, hydration, sleep, workouts/activity etc..) And I also had appointments to keep up with as well.
🌴 The past week was also a little stressful as I've been dealing with various things such as New insurance & trying to navigate things (as well as the hassles of dealing with others to get the job done...), Along with lots of packing as I will be getting ready to leave for my last "Summer Hurrah"~ As much as I enjoy travel time, the packing part can be stressful trying to remember everything. And I'm the type that takes everything but the Kitchen sink!... The only time I found a clear head & peace of mind was by "Working out" & keeping up with my Group Fitness classes throughout the week, "Morning walks & Cuddle time with my furbaby", & as well as initiating some 'Self care" time with Long, Hot Soaks in Epsom salts.... As by Mid-week I was starting to feel a little "Run down" physically & in my overall-wellbeing. I'm trying to get better or at least learn to try to stress less & "Go with the flow" of things (when warranted) that is.. Prayer & meditating can be helpful.
🌊 This weekend ahead intentions are to get up & hit up my Saturday morning Zumba class to start the day off...And then will spend the rest of the day finish packing odds & ends to leave for our last Summer trip on Sunday.... Fortunately we won't leave as early in the morning as we typically do, & can still actually enjoy a decent Saturday evening & squeeze in Movie night~

@KatePersephone
Hey there Kate!
Thats great for you that you are doing well, and that you will be getting out to enjoy a festival! I love those. I love looking at all the vendors and different things. And just being out enjoying the weather as well... Hope you had fun!
Ahhh… planning for the next month ahead! That is a pretty great goal to strive for. These summer months can bring much leisure & enjoyment. Then when September kicks in, the rest of the year flies right by. It’s good to gain focus & have perspective of how you would like things to go moving forwards in this part of the year. Good luck to you on your planning ahead!
By the way… I’m with you on #4!! Beach House all the way 🏝️😉
Thank you for checking in to share with us this week. It’s been so great seeing you & hearing how things are going for you. Please continue to keep us updated.
@PoliteOcean
I have not been inspired in a long time.
Inspiration is a positive emotion so it is no wonder since they are rare for me.
@Gettingbettertoday
Hey there 👋🏼
We’re sorry to hear that for you….
For whatever the reasons, some of us have been there as well in life and you aren’t alone.
Some people may have to dig deeper & try harder than others to find inspiration or positive things to help (depending on the “individual” circumstances of course).
Hopefully your time finding yours will come sooner than you expect.
By the way, it’s really nice to see you check in & share with us this week!
@PoliteOcean
After 58 years it seem I have done everything I could have wanted. Nothing new I could do seems to be worth the effort or essence like traveling abroad. I once wanted to visit new zealand because it is a biosphere but It's very expensive and will never fit in my budget. I can't waste my emotional energy hoping for something i can't have.
I had a rough week. I do not have any plans for the weekend. Right now, I am just trying to cope.
I am volunteering with an organization. I hope to succeed in helping them.
I am inspired by an organization I found locally. Yet, I also worry about them while wishing I could be involved.
A beach house by the ocean.
I sent a ridiculous amount of inquiries for therapists. Off the top of my head, I believe I reached out to six or seven. I may have found one, but the whole process took my entire week.
My highlight was meeting with the nonprofit I am going to help and I like them. I am also lucky to work with another volunteer who is pretty great too.
@HelloHereWeAre
Hey there~
We’re sorry to hear that your week was a rough one for you. And we hope that you find all the positive ways that you need to cope with whatever you are dealing with.
I think it’s so great that you are taking the time to volunteer and to help others! That also sounds like a great start in coping…As when we help others, it’s usually then that in turn we also help ourselves by gaining better perspective on things.
I think it’s wonderful that you are reaching out to therapist. It can definitely take time and it’s definitely a process. But it’s wonderful that you may have found one. And hopefully all your hard work has paid off!
Good luck with your work with the non-profit. That’s definitely a highlight! It really sounds like despite any challenging moments you might’ve had, that you are also really making some great strides for yourself! Continue to Keep up the great work that you are doing!
And thank you for checking in to share with us this week. Please keep us updated on how everything is continuing to go for you!
@PoliteOcean Here is how the past week went. Sunday James' physical therapist came over at 11:30 a.m. That's really inappropriate but I couldn't stop it. Leslie has no conception that sick people need peace and quiet. Tuesday morning Stuart defecated on the floor of the hallway. Fortunately Leslie was here to clean it up right away. I had two people fail to show up for interviews. Sifa would have ruined one of my interviews if they had shown up. Tunde is going to come back in a week so I'm not going to interview any more people. I filed a complaint with my agency against Ashley, the person who didn't show up for work. I'm also going to file a complaint against the two people who didn't show up for interviews. My agency doesn't suspend people. What happens is if they get too many complaints they get terminated. My Christian girlfriend Ileana broke up with me. She's not educated so who cares about that? James' extremely high number of both medical and personal visits has caused me a severe amount of emotional duress 😭 😩. I think the number of appointments is going to go down over the next few weeks. As soon as Tunde comes back I'm going to start looking at new places to live.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo~ It sounds like quite a start to your week.. In addition to your ongoing caregiver search dilemma. But I think it’s great that Tunde is getting closer to coming back. It seems he has been the best one so far despite not being able to work as often as you’d like. But I think I’d still take him for as often as I could get him knowing he’s going to show up and provide the best care needed when he is there. I totally agree with you that a report should be filed regarding “No-Shows”! Because that is truly ridiculous. As a nurse, I’ve been affiliated with various agencies, and things like that were not tolerated. And shouldn’t be. Hopefully those reports do some justice! But in the mean time, it sounds like that’s the best thing is to wait things out until Tunde gets back. And then start searching for another place where you might be happier. At least you have a plan to look forwards to and focus on. And hopefully for you it will come together soon. Thanks for checking in to share your week and continue to keep us updated.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
Rats! I'm sorry I missed you. You'll probably be almost ready to leave by the time you get this. I hope you have a happy vacation.
Hey All~ Happy Weekend~ How are you doing?.. And what are your plans for the weekend?! I got a grand wake up call. One of my classes is devastating. There is so much to memorize, and papers, and quizzes, and readings. I am afraid I am going to lose it, and worse I am afraid I am not going to do well in the class. Friday night was for me, and I can't do that again. I'll need it to do school work. Saturday I ran an errand, hung a lamp, did some work around the apartment, and relaxed a little. Then on to the schoolwork. Tomorrow is all school work and maybe unpack a box or two.
🌴 This is our "4th" Check-in for AUGUST~... We only have One more week left of this month.... What would you like or hope to accomplish for yourself in the last week ahead?... What are you looking forwards to in the last week ahead as we get ready to Wrap up these Summer Months?
I just want to do all the studying and preparing for the quiz on thursday that I possibly can.
🌊 Reflecting back on the past week, What is something that you felt Inspired by (big or small), ..And in what way? I started my second year of grad school. That is a biggie for me. I'm afraid that I have so much on my mind, that I have not been able to focus on anything but school, my new job, and my physical health.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... CHOOSE your LAST Getaway Destination for the Summer!.... Where are you going? You can only Pick "ONE"! .... 1) a Cabin in the Mountains, 2) a House on the Lake, 3) a Week-long Cruise, 4) a Beach House at the Ocean. 4. a beach house at the Ocean.
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! One huge struggle of this week is that my professor went on and on to class, on the first night of class, about how she should not be an instructor. My jaw dropped open. I wrote to my advisor and told him that I am very afraid.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~ No worries… I’m
Actually in the car now (just passing time as the passenger)~. And thank you for the lovely well-wishes!
So sorry to hear for you that one of your classes is not what you had hoped for. It does sound as if it’s one that will keep you quite busy. However, perhaps try to take a moment, & a deep breath, & remind yourself of how far that you’ve already come! Even think back on how you might’ve felt this way before about a class or situation, YET, you pushed through & made it! You CAN & WILL be able to do it again! …. And It’s good that you have also already set a day aside where you can just simply focus on your class work until you get into the routine of everything. But things will continue to come together.
But the first thing is to focus on a personal schedule that will work for you. Perhaps scheduling down days & timeframes where you can prioritize what needs to be worked on. (For your schoolwork & above all your health & well-being & selfcare).
As far as your professor, I surely hope for your sake that this was not something that was done in front of the rest of the class?! … Regardless, I can still only imagine how it must’ve made you feel. I’m so glad to hear that you took this issue to your advisor (not sure if you’ve heard back yet?), but you did the right thing. And hopefully they will be able to help get this resolved. That is what they are there for and to help with. Again, deep breaths until you hear back from them. And in the mean time I hope you are able to find time to manage to relax and rest before the week ahead starts and prioritize yourself for a moment. Please keep me updated on how things go with your advisor.
And hope that your next check in will bring great news for you.
We are here to support you Tree. Thank you for checking in to share your week. And again please keep us posted!
@PoliteOcean
🌞 Hey All~ Happy Weekend~ How are you doing?.. And what are your plans for the weekend?!
Howdy! Well, the weekend is almost over, but I worked and spent some time with my boyfriend and his dog! And then I'm just having a relaxing night tonight, watching some tv!
🌴 This is our "4th" Check-in for AUGUST~... We only have One more week left of this month.... What would you like or hope to accomplish for yourself in the last week ahead?... What are you looking forwards to in the last week ahead as we get ready to Wrap up these Summer Months?
I am hoping i can spend some quality time with my loved ones and get outside to enjoy the hot weather while it's still around!
🌊 Reflecting back on the past week, What is something that you felt Inspired by (big or small), ..And in what way?
I have been super inspired online and in media to express myself more through fashion! I have seen so many beautiful outfits and pieces for the upcoming fall months and I am thinking about doing some shopping around for some new clothes and also styling what I already have in my wardrobe!
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... CHOOSE your LAST Getaway Destination for the Summer!.... Where are you going? You can only Pick "ONE"! .... 1) a Cabin in the Mountains, 2) a House on the Lake, 3) a Week-long Cruise, 4) a Beach House at the Ocean.
Definitely 4! There's nothing like the beach!
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
The past few weeks, work has been pretty stressful, but it has made me very grateful for having my antidepressants. I tend to be very forgetful when it comes to taking my medication but I am pretty proud of myself for taking them like clockwork this week so I've been able to manage my anxiety that stems from work.
🌴 What is something that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add or Share with us this week?!... WE want to hear from YOU~
@librastar29
Hey there 👋🏼
Sounds like you had a great weekend despite having to work. It’s great that you got to spend time with loved ones and also get in some relaxation.
Hopefully you will continue to get to enjoy & spend more time with your loved ones as these last moments of summer get ready to come to an end. It sure is going fast. But we still have some time left for the little moments that we set out for!
Ohhh.. fashion inspiration! I love Fashion! It’s so easy to get inspired by so many different pieces & styles to choose from. And so many different looks. And not only that, shopping can be so much fun!
**I agree there’s nothing like the beach! 🏝️ Great choice
I agree that work can definitely be a stressful thing & place. But it’s great that you are able to manage your stressors and your overall wellbeing through prescription medications. And it’s awesome that they are helpful & beneficial to you in that they are working! Yay! Keep up the great work with what’s working for you!
Wow, it seems like September will be a really wonderful month ahead for you between a birthday celebration & new opportunities at work! Sounds like you are looking forwards to it all.
Thank you for checking in and sharing with us this week. Please continue to keep us updated with how everything is continuing to go for you!
@PoliteOcean
I don't have any plans for this weekend. My kids are going to start school on Monday. My middle one is in her last year of college and my son is starting his first year. So this weekend will probably be shopping for things he needs for his classes. I'm still trying to figure out transportation.
I'm just sad all the time. Nothing gives me joy. I feel like I'm living in a haze. It's difficult when you live with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (my husband). One day he says he's my best friend and I can tell him anything thats bothering me. The next day he will do something stupid, then find something to blame me for instead of acknowledging his mistake. Then he makes ridiculous statements that he wants me to agree with. Every day I dread interacting with him. It's very stressful.
