**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH
❄️ This past week was busy and went by quickly.... I had various things to do, complete, get caught up on, & appointments to keep up with.... I was able to work on and finally complete all my CEC/CEU's to maintain my Personal Trainer license, so I'm very glad that is finished. I also spent a few days this week trying to plan and get things ready for a loved ones Birthday today... And between it all, I was able to stay on track with and maintain my activity, hydration and sleep goals.
☃️ The weather here this week started off pretty cold, but then by mid-week we got some very mild (and surprisingly warm) weather, (even though that brought some rain with it) But we literally went up 30 degrees in temperature (from the 30s/40s to 70 degrees on Friday!).... But, I managed to keep up with my group fitness classes throughout the week, and was finally able to get my Pup out again for a walk during one of the milder days, as well as his Grooming. I got lots of things done throughout this week personally & professionally, and felt somewhat accomplished. Next week is supposed to bring back continued milder weather with more sunshine (and hopefully some more walks with the Pup).
❄️ Today is my Loved ones Birthday and we will be having a Birthday party as our little family comes together to celebrate it.... I'm looking forwards to just being with my family today (and having a few good treats). As well as relaxing this evening ahead~
@PoliteOcean Congrats on completing the CEC/CEU for the license! I remembered you mentioned it prior. Happy to also hear that you had a great time spending quality time with your family for a beloved's birthday. 😊

this month was so difficult ahahahah i am still recovering from the holidays
❄️What is ONE thing that you'd like to work on or get accomplished for yourself before this month comes to its close?
more efficient studying

i went out with a friend
@KateDoskocilova
Hey Kate~
Despite having a difficult month, we are just a few days away to a whole new one. May it be a better one ahead~
More efficient studying definitely sounds like a great goal to focus on. Good luck.
How nice that you got to go out and spend time with a friend. Hopefully you enjoyed all you did.
Thank you for sharing with us this week. Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. I went for a walk 3 times. I rarely read at the house anymore because it's been raining and overcast and the lighting is inadequate for reading unless there's natural light coming in through the windows. I went for a walk 3 times. Thursday I went to the library and spent 35 minutes on the public computer trying to get my insurance organization to send me a new insurance card and still couldn't get it done. What an ordeal. The people here have no idea how to organize a refrigerator. It's not hard, it's just a basic life skill. Leslie buys a 6 pound bag of carrots but there are only 3 people who live here. Stuart curses at Tony everyday. Chuck loaned me a laptop with a DVD player so I can watch DVDs. It's a Dell which isn't a good brand but at least it works. I still have a hard time concentrating because of my chronic pain. For this upcoming week I have a Dentist appointment on Wednesday and a doctor's appointment on Thursday. We are going to review the results of my blood test. We have a television at the house but we don't get a lot of my favorite channels.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ That’s great for you that you are continuing to keep up with your walks & activity. It Sounds like you are really doing a great job there. It’s too bad that you weren’t able to get the insurance card situation taken care of. Perhaps you can try again sometime in the coming week. It sounds like the issues in your household are still ongoing for you. Hopefully for you things will eventually soon come together for you to have your own place. That was pretty nice of Chuck to loan you a laptop and especially one that works... Not many are in the position to be able to do that. You are quite fortunate to have such a good caregiver that’s working out for you and one who sounds like he goes the extra mile... Chronic pain is definitely a tough challenge to deal with. Are you prescribed anything to where you are able to get a little relief? It sounds like you have a busy week ahead with your appointments. Hopefully for you your results will produce what you are looking for. Thanks for checking in and sharing your week. And please continue to keep us updated.
❄️ Hey Everyone~ How is your day going today?...How has your week gone for you?
This week has been very good and so tiring! The family side of my schedule became much more busy than usual this week, and work is always busy, so I'm feeling exhausted (and satisfied). I went to sleep an hour before my husband last night which I can't remember doing since we were married!
☃️ This is our LAST Check-in for the Month of January.... How do you feel this past Month has gone for you overall?...What is One Positive thing that you can take from this month into the New month ahead?
I have loved January. It is a beautiful month were we life, cold and snowy, and my favorite season. I have been consistent with my workouts which helps with the cold in the mornings. I think mostly I am trying to bring hope with me into the next month. We are of course still trying for a child.
❄️What is ONE thing that you'd like to work on or get accomplished for yourself before this month comes to its close?
I have an internal report to send in at work that should be finalized by the middle of this coming week. I will then present on it and defend it to leadership in February, which makes me nervous!
☃️ JUST FOR FUN: What are you plans for the Weekend ahead & What is something "Fun or Relaxing" that you could do for yourself to unwind from the past week?
I am going to see my siblings later this evening which is wonderful. We are not usually in the same city.
❄️ What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
When I was exhausted this last week I tried to either work on things that were a little less demanding from my lists or figure out ways to get a little more sleep! I'm not sure why I need it all of a sudden. Maybe it's just the season.
☃️ What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~
Congratulations on your CEUs, Ocean!
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star~
Aside from it being tiring it’s great that your week was so good for you. It sounds like you had quite a tiring balance of both work and family!! Good for you for being able to lay down and rest when needed (despite doing it before hubby)... I recently started doing that myself and it feels amazing! (I figure he can be tired on his own)! Lolol…Good job we need our rest!
Thats wonderful for you that you’ve had such a great month. And that you are keeping up and staying consistent with your workouts! …Good for you for doing so well, & keeping up with your healthy habits, & keeping your hope intact for that baby! It will happen for you! Just wait and see!…. And I have no doubt that all your efforts that you have been putting into both your personal & professional life will certainly pay off in the month to come!
How fun for you that you got to spend time with your siblings. Sounds like you are all pretty close?! You are quite fortunate.
It sounds like you are continuing on the right path and have a great healthy balance between all the amazing things in your life (personal, professional, & family)… You are doing an amazing job, it even sounds like you might be slightly less stressed than you have been in the past?? If so that is even greater for you! Keep up all the wonderful work you are doing.
(Also thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate it! And I am truly glad to be done with them as well lol). <3
So great to hear from you this week… and thank you for checking in and sharing it with us! And as always, please continue to keep us updated!
@PoliteOcean
☃️ JUST FOR FUN: What are you plans for the Weekend ahead & What is something "Fun or Relaxing" that you could do for yourself to unwind from the past week?
Hey All,
Hope you enjoyed your weekend and the follow weekend to come.
My plans for the upcoming weekend is to do a little self care, school assignments, and internship (here). I like to relax by ironically, cleaning, watching documentaries, lifestyle videos/vlogs, and cooking. I would like to get a pedicure as a “treat” for myself to relax ☺️.
@warmMemory6263
Hey there Warm~
I think it’s great that you are spending the weekend doing some SelfCare (between your school assignments and internship). And it looks like you have a really amazing list to help you there as well! Keep up the great work that you are doing. (And hopefully you’re able to squeeze in that pedicure too)! Those are pretty incredible.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and share with us today! Please check back with us weekly to let us know how you are doing and how things are going for you.
❄️ Hey Everyone~ How is your day going today?...How has your week gone for you? I feel that my day has been good a little at first, but other than that good. The week has been good too, just a bit hectic.
☃️ This is our LAST Check-in for the Month of January.... How do you feel this past Month has gone for you overall?...What is One Positive thing that you can take from this month into the New month ahead? I feel that it has been good, the miracles have been blessing my little family left and right. The positive I can take from this month is knowing that god has been creating pathways for my little family and giving us opportunities to thrive.
❄️What is ONE thing that you'd like to work on or get accomplished for yourself before this month comes to its close? I would like to work on my ptsd, because it has been all over the place lately, because I am not used to things working out for me. I also am going to work on letting me myself be more positive.
☃️ JUST FOR FUN: What are you plans for the Weekend ahead & What is something "Fun or Relaxing" that you could do for yourself to unwind from the past week? The way I love to unwind is to to send time with my little family.
❄️ What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! The highlight is that there is always positives to look forward too and the struggle is to remember that even with ptsd there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even if you see it with a blurred vision.
☃️ What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU! I just wanted to add that I passed my metrics at work, there is a possibility for a raise as well as the last stages of getting the townhouse are underway and truly believe that everything will be okay, even when it looks bumpy at the moment. There is always a positive to be seen.
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there Phoenix~
Sounds like aside from things being a little hectic for you, that overall they've been good. So thats a great thing.
It also sounds like you have been meditating on all the good things & blessings in your life and in the lives of your family.... Keeping a positive attitude, Keeping our eyes fixed on God & Knowing that God "Can" and continuing to remember all that He has done for us is certainly a positive thing! And its surely a wonderful thing to see the good works that he has been able to do for you. While creating pathways and helping you all to thrive!
I think the goals that you are creating for yourself to focus on are some pretty amazing things! Working on yourself (and your traumas/mental health), and trying to be more positive can certainly help. Trying to focus on the good things and What could go well and leaving what didn't in the past, could also be a pretty awesome step to take too. When those negative thoughts try to creep in, fight them with Not only the "Word/Promises" of God, but also with positive thoughts of all the things that could go right!
Despite your struggles (and PTSD can definitely be one for sure), we have to try to not let those labels define us or who we are, or who we can continue to be! And it looks like you are taking amazing steps to focus on the Highlights and positives and realizing that there "IS" definitely light at the end of those dark tunnels. Storms don't last forever.
How awesome for you that you were able to pass your metrics at work, and that you may even be looking at a possible raise! Good for you! Great job! And how wonderful that you are in the works of getting that townhouse. How exciting for you all! We always have to remind ourselves (sometimes easier said than done at times), but that even when things seem challenging, things do tend to workout and come together as long as we keep pushing! Keep up the great work that you are doing! As It sounds like its definitely paying off for you!
And thank you for checking in this week and keeping us up to date. And for sharing your week with us. Please continue to let us know how things are going for you!
❄️ Hey Everyone~ How is your day going today?...How has your week gone for you?
Just starting the day off. Haven't really been able to get much sleep lately. I sleep at random times -- might be due to quitting alcohol, weed, and caffeine cold turkey...so my body is trying to get back to normal. Other than that, just been experiencing pain, I just stuffed myself with some pills earlier. Haven't been feeling great physically wise...working on my mental health though.
☃️ This is our LAST Check-in for the Month of January.... How do you feel this past Month has gone for you overall?...What is One Positive thing that you can take from this month into the New month ahead?
Well, I managed to avoid an eviction! I was able to make a payment and get onto a payment plan. I might take a temp job, despite my medical condition, so I can pay off the rest of the rent.
❄️What is ONE thing that you'd like to work on or get accomplished for yourself before this month comes to its close?
Since January is over...Hm...I will say I accomplished not getting evicted lol.
☃️ JUST FOR FUN: What are you plans for the Weekend ahead & What is something "Fun or Relaxing" that you could do for yourself to unwind from the past week?
Depending on the weather and depending on if I get my tax money, I want to take my son out somewhere special. If I don't have the money and the weather is nice, we'll probably just go to the park this weekend. Just depends on my physical condition too...
❄️ What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Struggles: Physical health has been declining, trying to reach my doctor for help, seeking rental assistance, no income.
Highlights: Should be getting part of my tax money soon, hopefully. Going to keep trying to reach my doctor for help. I'm still contacting places for the rental assistance so I don't have to pay out of pocket and can save the tax money to move out of the city with my partner...we're planning on moving out of state!
☃️ What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~
@ImpudentIncognito
Hey there Cognito~
It sounds like your body could definitely be "adjusting" to changes that you are making on yourself. However, despite that, just keep in mind that those are quite alot of POSITIVE changes! And thats a great thing!... And even better that you are continuing to work on your mental health despite how you've been feeling. Continue to keep up the great work there.
Oh how awesome for you that you were able to work out a plan to help keep your apartment. I'm sure that was definitely not a beneficial thing to your mental health to keep thinking on it, or wondering how it was going to turn out. I also think that its a good idea that you have to possibly pick up something to help you make a little extra money to help with the rest of the rent. Keep in mind, that if you do go that route, that its obviously not something that is going to have to be forever. And that you are making a quicker way for yourself to put that pesky situation to rest! Perhaps you could even find something "online" to make a little extra money. I hear that there are many online avenues now where you can get paid to work. But just something that you might be able to look into as well so that you can be in the comfort of your own home when you aren't feeling the greatest.
I think thats a wonderful idea to focus on you and your son and going somewhere "special" just the two of you~ Regardless of whether you go somewhere new, or just go to the park, it will still be "special" taking time out for you both to just simply have fun and bond! So enjoy, make a time of it, and have fun with each other in whatever you do!
Declining physical health (and pain) can certainly be debilitating and cause many negative thoughts and emotions. It can be difficult to think ahead on the things that you "want" to do, while not knowing how you will feel once you get to that point..... Hopefully you will continue to find help with your doctor and treatment. And that things continue to come together with your rent & assistance for it!.....Aside from those "struggles", I also like to see how everyone is able to push through them enough to see the "highlights" and to know that they are in fact there!.. And its definitely a highlight that your tax money will be on its way, that you have a plan to continue getting the help you need with your doctor, that rental assistance is still an option, and that you are focusing on some future plans (keeping your eye on the prize)!.. LOTS of amazing highlights there for you.
As far as the real estate classes, are these classes "online"? I was just wondering if this is a course that you can do it at your own pace? If so, that means that there is No rush! And you can take your time and do what feels good and right for you when you, yourself, are feeling good. Taking that course can certainly take some time and there is alot involved. But when there is a will (and a little motivation) there is a way! And you will get there! Mental and Physical health should always be on the "front burner" otherwise you will be no good for anything else that you are trying to do or focus on! And there's no shame or blame in that! So continue to keep up the great work that you are doing in your attempts to get to where you desire to be!
And thank you for taking the time to check in and share with us this week and letting us know how things are continuing to go. Please continue to keep us updated on things.
