**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
❄️ This past week was well overall... Last weekend we did get our "First" bit of Icy-Snowfall (Which again we don't typically get here but once every year or two).. It wasn't too bad, And thankfully we didn't lose any power.... But overall it was nice to just stay indoors, out of the cold, relax, & honestly be a "little lazy"! Especially since most things "here" were closed or cancelled... However, I did manage to squeeze-in Workouts from home both Sat/Sun...
⛄ As the week started off, things were still closed or Cancelled here on Monday (as the Ice started to melt).... But On Tuesday, things opened back up & returned to the usual. And I was able to get back on track with things... Later that day we also had a Family gathering to come together & celebrate a Loved-ones Birthday. So I had a great day & evening that day.... As the week progressed, I did what I could to stay on track with Work, workouts, sleep & hydration goals.. Overall, January wasn't what I was wanting or expecting in terms of my Personal goals & progress due to some issues. But thankfully, those issues are resolving, & I'm looking forwards to Fully & completely getting my head back in the game for February ahead...~
❄️This weekend ahead, (out of the blue), we are now looking at another "possible" Snowfall for Saturday... When that happens "here", (since it doesn't happen often), that means things either close or cancel, No matter WHAT the Amount of accumulation is... So that could also mean another weekend stuck indoors... So intentions are to make the most of it, & get in some Home workouts of course, & also possibly work on a little deep cleaning, which will be the perfect time to do so... As It won't be too long now before Spring is here... (Ground-Hog Day is on Monday Feb. 2nd), which will (in good fun of course), tell us whether we'll get an earlier start to spring weather! 😎.... Although, the Cherry Blossoms & Daffodils are already making their appearances here!
@PoliteOcean
Sending you spring vibes
@peachThinker662
@PoliteOcean
A game night with appetizers for me 💚🤗
This week was busy, looking for to a quieter weekend, to just catch up on the mundane tasks I put off all week 🥰
Hope you have a great weekend Ocean 🤗
@Amanda84
OMG! THAT GIF! 🤣🤣🤣
(Appetizers do sound pretty amazing!) lol... What would you make (or buy)?!
I hope that you enjoy a nice, relaxing & "quieter" weekend ahead that your heart desires!.. And that you are able to catch-up on all the things & tasks that you've been wanting to get done!... (That is one of my goals as well, although when I say I'm gonna do it, I always seem to fall short of it)! 🤪... So here's to the BOTH of us making that happen!! 👍
Enjoy your weekend ahead Amanda! 😊
@PoliteOcean
I know right, cutest gif ever 😁
I'll probably have like Doritos and maybe maltesers 💚
Not gonna lie, there's a distinct possibility that if my bed is extra comfy that these chores will continue to be put off 😂
Thank you, have a great one 🥰
Bed and Doritos sounds amazing ❤️
@peachThinker662
I know right 💚
@peachThinker662
Most importantly, whose the football team? 😁
@Amanda84
is it this football?
Or this one?
@PoliteOcean
🌊 struggles: waited an entire week anticipating worst case scenarios with my med provider and well, I have to come off my anti depressant as it’s not doing much for me any more. I’m scared of potential side effects. Scared of feeling worse than I do now. I want to be brave and see the silver lining and do it with grace and safety.
💙 accomplishments: had a football watch party with family, enjoyed some food and had fun. Got through a week of work. Really enjoying it. Bills are getting paid and starting to feel more financial stability after not working for some time.
I can’t wait for spring. We have A Lot of snow here and it’s been very cold. Makes my bones hurt!
🌟 I enjoy game nights with appetizers. We like games in this house of any kind. Very competitive too , makes it that more interesting 😂
@peachThinker662
So proud of you for accomplishing a great first week 💚
Oh hunny, I’ve done like 6 weeks!!!
Who am I ?? 😂
@peachThinker662
Well then, I'm even prouder 🥰
@Amanda84
❤️❤️❤️
@peachThinker662
Hey there... ~
Aww.. I'm so sorry to hear that things didn't go as you had hoped in regards to your meds. I can certainly understand why you would have concerns there!... And all of your points are totally valid!.. You are already very "brave" in just being able to admit & share those feelings & talk about it here with us!.. I do hope for you that your "Silver lining" on this matter will soon appear for you! And I hope that together, perhaps your and your Healthcare provider can work together on finding something that WILL work better for you going forward?! There are so many medications out there (with some trial & error), that can & may work even better for you. And of course that can take time, but talking with your provider can help.
A "football watch party"! NICE!.. (While I'm not much of a Football fan, my ENTIRE family is)! lol... So I know how fun they can be coming together & just enjoying some good-old fashion fun with family & good food!.. I'm glad you enjoyed it!..... And how awesome for you that your Bills are getting paid (ALWAYS a good thing there!).. And that you are starting to feel more stability with your finances! I know that can certainly take a load off our minds in knowing that we are able to pay off bills or pay down any debts. It makes you feel "Secure"! And that's definitely a good thing.
I'm sorry to also hear for you that you've been having a challenging time with the Winter season. While we rarely get snow here, It's been brutally colder than most other winters we've had here... But I also grew up in the North, so I remember all those MANY snowy & cold winters that lasted for MONTHS on end! So I feel for you.... I hope that you are taking good care of yourself with some good Winter "Self-care" time! (Hot baths & Hot chocolate perhaps)?! :)
haha.. We can all get very "competitive" here too when it comes to game nights.. What kinds of games do you enjoy?!
Thank you for checking in to share your week with us and letting us know how you've been doing. We are here to support you! Please keep us updated on how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
we play “jackbox”, Yahtzee or uno 🤗
when it’s nice out, Cornhole is a favorite , along with wiffle ball
I’ve taught myself how to crochet. I just finished a blanket. A hobby that keeps you warm while you do it 😂
@peachThinker662
Omg! You can’t play Yahtzee or Uno in my Family!! Way too competitive & someone always ends up mad or near tears!!! 😂😂😂😂
Awesome job on teaching yourself how to crochet 🧶!! My mom tried to teach me growing up & needless to say it never went well! 🤪
@PoliteOcean My personality is sparking back to life again. Saturday morning John threw up blood again but he had these blue barf bags he used. Unfortunately the bedroom smelled like vomit for a few hours until the smell went away. Sunday I shaved. Unfortunately I left my medicated foot pads on all weekend. Early Monday morning at 5 am I had a hot flash, diarrhea and was dizzy all at the same time. I was extremely worried about falling down and squirting diarrhea in my pants and not being able to get back up. Fortunately I was able to get back in bed without any incident. I had another diarrhea episode at 7 a.m. I had to cancel my outing with Justice. I was feeling better on Tuesday but still stayed home. Wednesday morning it took me 3 hours to get on the Internet. I really hate that. Thursday Justyce cancelled on me because she wasn't feeling well. I only went on two walks this week. After several weeks and much aggravation I finally got my new Obama phone to work. It has a bigger screen than my old one. I really hate watching movies on my Smartphone. I spoke with my social worker on Friday at 5:30 p.m. It didn't work out very well. Regulations forbid her from seeing her in her office. She can only make a home visit once per year. We have a telephone appointment at 11:30 a m. on Wednesday but I'm not looking forward to it. There are people wherever I go in the house. If there is someone in the back house I have no way of knowing about it. Tuesday my insurance company gives me a home health visit with a doctor here at the house. Leslie won't let me reserve any space. I just have to hope there will be space available when they show up. Friday I have an appointment with my PCP.
@Regmo
i sure hope this week is better for you and everyone ❤️
@Regmo
It’s good that despite the situation of not feeling well, that you were better by Tuesday & that it didn’t interfere with the remainder of your week... And that you were also able to get your phone working as well as getting in at least 2 walks.. (I don’t think I’ve been able to get outdoors for a good walk since before the holidays as it’s been so cold here).... That’s crazy that your Social worker wasn’t able to help you in that she can only make an annual visit?! I’ve never heard of that?! Unless different states have different regulations & standards? That could be the case? But it’s still good that you will have a phone appt. With them. And Hopefully you find that situation will go well even though you aren’t looking forward to it… I think it’s great that you are able to get home health visits. Although as the person overseeing the household, Leslie should in fact be making provisions for those in the house that need to be privately seen there. Especially when you all are paying her to live there... But Hopefully you’ll find that all your upcoming appointments will go better than you are expecting them to. And Hopefully you will also feel confident enough in being able to talk about & discuss all your personal as well as the household matters between both the Social worker as well as at your home health appointment… Keep us updated on how those go for you. And thanks for checking in to share your week.
@PoliteOcean
I'm gutted I just lost everything I typed mid response you will all be pleased to hear, I was in full 'Jack a Nory' mood (tell us a story, it is a bit of an oldie).
Short version, only fun night of a week mainly on night shifts will be tonight, going to watch a band I enjoy, although only like warm on this particular album but still worth a listen..
The Uncertainty Principle by Hats of Gentlemen It's Adequate
Health wise not a great week, medication during my 20's for arthritis has left me with an agrravated bowel, been off colour all week but at least kept my runstreak alive at 1134 consecutive day.
After loosing my original post I'll leave it here, but it would be a crime not to say I enjoy reading the entire thread and some of the banter helps cheer me up 👍👍👍
@RunningMachine
Ugh.. Doesn't that just “bite” when you have written a really good or long post, (in my case, even replies back to members here!), & then *Poof*!?!.. (Mysterious Disappearance!)… Sorry to hear for you that happened. But it’s great that you had it in you to try again after the frustration of it!
How cool for you that you are able to get out for some fun to go Check out a band that you enjoy. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done that~ Hopefully you had a good time. 🎶 🤘🏼🎸
Sorry to hear that your week wasn’t the greatest. That can certainly be a struggle regardless of what the circumstances are surrounding whatever we are dealing with or going through... But being able to continue persevering through it all (in your instance keeping your runstreak), is a huge accomplishment 👍🏼… So great job to you there. And we hope things are going better for you.
As far as the thread this week, I’d have to agree. (Some of it was actually quite comical)! lol 😂… And we are glad that it helped to cheer you up and put you in a better mood than what you were feeling~ (that’s Healthy living at some of its highlights)! 😉
Thank you for taking the time to check in this week (even after that first mysterious posting fail)! And for simply sharing with us. And please continue to keep us updated & posted on how things are going.
@PoliteOcean
It's a pleasure, try stopping me ð¤ªð¤ªð¤ª
@PoliteOcean
Hey all~ Welcome to the Weekend~... How has this Last week of the month gone for you?!.. And what are your plans or intentions for the weekend ahead?! I had 3 interviews and an online test for jobs. Plus did homework and had an appointment with my psych nurse practitioner. Today I am laying in bed and watching stuff on my laptop. Tomorrow it is back to the homework, reading, picking up prescriptions and getting in some relaxation time.
❄️This is our "5th & Final" Check-in for January~... As we close this First Chapter of the Year, How do you feel that this past month has gone for you overall in your goals, intentions, or just the simple day to day?! It's been rough, but I always think school and looking for jobs is rough.
⛄ January 31st is "INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART DAY"!... This day encourages us to ponder how "Art Affects our Hearts".... It Acts as a reminder that Art is a transformative force capable of improving our "Mental Health".... As well as Fostering a deeper understanding of oneself Through pieces that move us or cause Joy & laughter, & it can remain with us a Lifetime.. And it has the power to change or inspire our hearts!... (Whether in the form of your own Art, Theaters, Books, Music, Instruments, or otherwise), WHAT is YOUR favorite "Type" of Art that inspires you the most & Why?! I don't know types of art. I usually just like something that grabs my attention and is beautiful to me.
❄️JUST FOR FUN: In the Spirit of Winter, if you were Snow-in this weekend, Would you Rather Have a "Movie Night with Popcorn" or a "Game Night with Appetizers"?! movie night with popcorn
⛄ What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?! I got lots of sleep, and made sure I ate. Plus stuck to doing research and homework and planning for the interviews. Plus I pinned up Joshua 1:9 in my apartment to help me.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~ Sounds like you had quite the busy week with everything, & with more to come as we begin a new week ahead... So it’s great that you took the day to take a break, simply relax from it all & took time to care for yourself & your needs.~
Hopefully for you things are coming along well between your homework, schooling, & all the interviewing that you’ve been doing!… And Great job to you on being able to get the rest & nutrition that you needed physically, as well as placing focus on your Spiritual wellbeing to continue to help you through the struggles & challenging moments. I can attest that it certainly helps! 🙏🏼
Keep up all the great work that you are doing, as it sounds like day by day that things are all coming together for you. And thank you for checking in to share with us this week. Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going.
