**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🌞 This past week has been well, and pretty standard overall~ Last Saturday I started off by celebrating Two of my loved-ones Birthdays.... I had a great time & it was nice to come together & see & be around my little family~... On Sunday I took some "Semi"-Self-care time & relaxed for a bit since it decided to 'Storm' that day... But I stayed on track & continued meeting my wellness goals for the day.~ And was able to tackle a few projects in the house (like finally cleaning out my closet-clutter)! Which helped to "clean-up" my mental space a bit!
🌴 I got back on track at the start of the week & continued on with my Meal-planning & tracking, Fitness classes/workouts/Activity...And Sleep was a much better improvement from last week & I met my sleep goals a majority of the week. Although Hydration fell slightly behind....I also had a few appointments to keep up with. The rain finally gave us a break this week, and the Sun/Heat/Humidity are all back in full-force "together again"! But It was a pretty beautiful week, although I had to get out "very early" in the morning to get in walks with the Furbaby before the Heat kicked in.~
🌊 This weekend ahead is supposed to be beautiful & sunny,.. Intentions are to get up early for a Saturday morning Zumba class to start the day. And then afterwards I am supposed to meet up with a few ladies that I have met in my Aqua classes. (Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't just "get-together").. My "personal circles" outside of Fitness classes or Work have always been small. (Quality over Quantity)!.. But, these few ladies I have grown to feel pretty connected to recently. So I decided to put aside my feelings for "bit" anyway, and meet up for a small, intimate cook-out just the 4 of us. Its already felt over-whelming thinking about it, as I also have other things/errands I need to do and get done as well. And the day/time was "decided on" while I wasn't around... So I figure I'll at least try to make an appearance & connect for a bit. Sunday I'll be on my own with the furbaby again, so It'll be a lovely pool-day, relaxing & a few movies/shows.~
🌞 Hey All~ Happy Weekend & Welcome to "AUGUST"~ ....How have you been & How was your week? I know it's been awhile since, I have been doing this and that's on me. I needed a break from things tbh, but im doing so much better now!
🌴 This is our "FIRST" Check-in for the Month~... What are some things that you are looking forwards to Or have planned for this Month ahead?!...
The plans for this first weekend of August is going to the clay store tomorrow with my husband and then a cookout for Church on Sunday❤️
🌊 What are some New Monthly Wellness Goals that you'd like to incorporate Or work towards for August?! ...And in What ways will you Or can you 'Challenge' yourself to keep
My goals for this month is to continue to maintain my relationship with my growth, my loved ones, and boundaries. An keep my eyes focused on my priorities rather than have someone try and tell me there ideals for my life.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... What is ONE Simple Pleasure in life that NEVER fails to make you Happy?! I have been streaming my videogame with my husband, so it's been making me feel a lot better pouring creativity into that along with running my own mh group on a social site with rising members!
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Highlights: I have gotten alot of stuff done for wedding, more guests are coming, and its making me so happy to see the progresses that are being made. We are going tux looking for my fiancee !
Struggles: Its been a bit bumpy with some toxic friends and their willingness to try an deflect my boundaries. Along with contemplating detaching from someone that believes its okay to still do the same childish behaviors...
🌴 What is something that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add or Share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear from YOU~
I have worked so hard on my creativity, I still haven't gotten a job yet but I have enrolled into the GED program that I can possibly do online, and also sought out information for my daughter to go to Pre-k. I'm excited, and my relationship with God has gotten stronger, I'm counting down the days till I am marrying my bestest friend
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there 👋🏼 Welcome back~
Taking a break is understandable & something we all need to do at times. And it’s good for you that you’re doing better 👍🏼.. It sounds like you needed some self care time.
It also sounds like you had a lovely weekend planned with family and church friends?! Hopefully that all went well!
It looks like you have made many great goals to continue to challenge yourself with this month ahead?! … Maintaining the growth you’ve made with loved ones and boundaries, while also staying focused on your priorities for yourself are all great things to continue to stay on track with. As well challenge yourself with in continuing to maintain that progress.
Despite your struggles of the week, contemplating detaching yourself from toxicity or from someone you feel isn’t serving a positive influence or purpose in your life or wellbeing is okay. Sometimes we have to separate ourselves from that for our own Mental & wellbeing… Inspite of those struggles it’s great that you had many highlights in your week. And that things are coming along quite nicely with your wedding plans!
It’s wonderful for you that you are continuing to work on things in your life by working on your creativity, your GED, your daughter’s schooling, and future wedding. And it’s great that even though you are still job searching, that you are staying busy, and feeling excited, and above all continuing to strengthen your relationship with the Lord!
It sounds like you have been doing quite well lately! And that things are continuing to stay steady & come together for you…continue to stay close to the Lord as you have been! And Keep up all the great work that you’ve been doing.
And thank you for checking back in with us this week and letting us know how things have been going your way. And continue to Keep us updated!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
How did your get together go with those women you met in class? I hope it turned out ok.
How have you been & How was your week? It's been ok and a bit crazy. I'm moving next Thursday. The packers are coming next Wednesday. All it feels like my brain has been doing is planning, what should I pack first, should I pack that, should i throw that out, do i have enough supplies. It's been hard some nights to get my brain to slow down. I actually fell asleep thinking all those strategy thoughts. I haven't been sleeping well. Yesterday, it was 104 F here without even counting the heat index. And I had to do laundry. I got sick. I think it was a combination of stress, anxiety, heat, going from cool to hot to cool to hot. I felt like I was going to pass out. Today I decided to do a little errands while it was still cooler and then sleep most of the day. I feel better today but am still taking it easy.
🌴 This is our "FIRST" Check-in for the Month~... What are some things that you are looking forwards to Or have planned for this Month ahead?!... I move on the 8th of August with my kitty, Chloe, and I start my new job on the 12th. I just want to keep taking it easy and slowly move in while giving Chloe combings and massages and giving my feet massages. Then I want to slowly get back to working out and meditating. My new apartment community has a great gym.
🌊 What are some New Monthly Wellness Goals that you'd like to incorporate Or work towards for August?! ...And in What ways will you Or can you 'Challenge' yourself to keep those goals?! I want to slowly work back into working out, meditating and eating well, plus playing with Chloe. We'll have a nice private patio in our new apartment, so I am planning to put a big bowl of water out there for the birdies so Chloe will have something to watch while our patio doors are closed while I'm at work.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... What is ONE Simple Pleasure in life that NEVER fails to make you Happy?! Having my windows open at night when the weather is cool at night.
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! In this last week before I move, I have already planned most everything out. I am just facing the squeeze of carrying out all these duties every day, leading up to the packing day and the moving day when everything is out of my control. I've kept the internet past my moving days so I can keep watching the Olympics. I love the Olympics. It is my favorite sporting event.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~ Thank you for the well-wishes & for asking. The get-together went well. It was only the 4 of us ladies, and a nice little mini-cookout with some chit-chat & conversation. It was a nice 2 hours spent and a beautiful day out to enjoy it.
——-
It certainly sounds like you have quite a bit coming up with your pending move in the week to come. It’s understandable that your mind is going what I call “a mile a minute”! And that you’re feeling many stressors & anxieties, etc… and of course all the extra stress definitely isn’t helpful to our wellbeing so no wonder you weren’t feeling well... It’s great that you have movers/packers helping you through it all. And what I like to do when I have moved in the past (with each move that is), is to continue to get rid of what no longer serves me a positive purpose. And I try to downsize my things. Clear out clutter that I don’t want to take into a new place & space! …but it’s good that you decided to take a rest & give your body & mind a break. And it’s wonderful for you that you’re feeling better!
It certainly seems like you have much to look forwards to this month ahead with the new place & new job! And it will be great to hear how it all continues to unfold for you going forwards. I think it’s awesome that you are continuing to take it easy on yourself, and work your way back up to working out & meditating. And how amazing that your new apt has a gym??!! Wow! How exciting for you! And I want to hear updates on how all of that is going & working out for you! And I think the private patio is going to also be an amazing space for you (& Chloe)!
It definitely sounds like things are coming along beautifully for you! And all your planning will continue to come together & pay off nicely. You are doing a wonderful job Tree! And thank you for including us into your story! As well as for checking in with us this week to let us know how everything is going! Definitely continue to keep us updated on things!
@PoliteOcean
My apartment doesn't have a gym. My apartment community has a gym. But it's a nice one. They have a peloton bike, and those balls with the handles. lol I can't think of what they're called right now. They also have lots of other equipment. It's a nice size gym.
@purpleTree4652
That sounds wonderful.. and sounds like a great little place to workout (maybe before or after a day at the new job)?! 😉
@PoliteOcean untag me
@PoliteOcean Going back 10 days ago my back muscles were severely cramped and painful because of James moving in. My back muscles started to relax after about 5 days. I'm really disappointed Ashley never showed up for her first day of work on Monday. Tuesday I took a shower which is a major accomplishment. My new book on 19th Century photographer Nadar arrived. Wednesday I did my laundry which was a huge accomplishment. Leslie was out of the country all week. Sifa didn't serve me breakfast Tuesday or Thursday. I sent a text to Leslie and she called him up on the phone and got mad at him. Having James here is cramping my style. He's a selfish whiney brat. If I wanted to hang out with brats I'd go back to being a high school teacher again. I had someone named Dominique who was supposed to come over for an interview in Saturday but she cancelled on me. Late Saturday afternoon I got a new list of 8 potential caretakers to call. These people are so irresponsible I'm not going to calling them until Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. My credit score has gone up a lot this year. I just hope it stays that way. I'm in a lot of pain all the time. 😭😭😭
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ I’m sure it was pretty disappointing to not have yet another supposed new caregiver show up. I don’t understand how agencies continue to keep people like this , or why those people even bother to accept a job if they know they don’t want it & aren’t going to show up for it… it just doesn’t make sense to me… Thats good you were able to get a shower in for yourself and take care of hygiene needs. And that you were also able to get your laundry done. That’s crazy that you weren’t given the proper coverage with Leslie being away to get your bfast... As whoever Leslie left in charge should know better than to do that. It’s good you were able to text her to let her know what was going on. Hopefully for you it remedies the situation. It’s also good that the agency continued to give you another list of potential caretakers. Now if only they can send you reliable ones that would be even better. Thats also good news for you on your continuing improvement in credit score. Hopefully one day soon it will also play well into you being able to get your own place. And hopefully for you your pain will start to lessen in some way. As Pain in any form anywhere on the body (especially when chronic) can certainly be stressful & taxing. Thanks for checking in and sharing your week with us. Continue to keep us updated on things.
