🌞 This week was well... After 2 weeks of going with the Flow of the July 4th Holiday week, & a Beach getaway week, I have finally gotten fully & completely back on track this week with everything. My sleep went back & forth though as its been so warm here & a little uncomfortable.... But hydration, workouts/activities, and meal-planning was on point.
🌴 This week I got back fully to all my Fitness classes... But the weather here went back & forth with heat/humidity & rain (which we haven't had much rain this summer). I was able to get up extra early, when I could and get out for walks with the pup before the real heat kicked-in... But even that was sporadic & short-lived with the rain....I have to admit, that even though we got rain here this week & it makes it more challenging to get out to do things, I am feeling mentally & emotionally well with it. It makes me feel like I "DON'T" have to do anything or put too much thought or Effort into what I'm going to do.... That I can just take my time and relax (and maybe even do nothing at all)!.....One thing I will add though is that its a little depressing that its already moving towards the end of July (Which means that much closer to the end of Summer)... I know technically we still have a little while to go yet, however, Nothing about the Word 'September' says "Summer" to me! lol... And even though September is mostly summer, for me Summer ends at the end of "August". Which actually isn't that far off... And it can be more depressing to already see or hear of Fall & Christmas items being displayed already. Like WHY can't EACH Season & Holiday just "Stay in its OWN Lane"?!?!
🌊 This weekend, I have already started this day off getting up early to attend a morning Zumba class to get a jumpstart on my steps, and get in some activity to start the day off right.....(& ran a few minor errands), But that has been about the extent!... As I'm home now, its raining, & I'm relaxing. I may clean out my closets later on which need it & try to donate some clothes..., and then prep for the week ahead. As I have TWO family members who we will celebrate with Birthday parties at the end of next week. So I'm also doing some online shopping for those.~ And of course, movie night later~
@PoliteOcean I didn't have a driver so I stayed home all week. I'm really disappointed that Darren and Gary didn't follow up with me to be my caretaker. Saturday a week ago I spoke with my sister Kathryn on the phone for 17 minutes. Leslie is a narcissist. My blankets keep slipping off my bed because Leslie left the plastic cover on. I'm not supposed to make my own bed. Wednesday I called my agency so they could send me a list of 8 potential new caretakers but I haven't received it yet. Stuart left fece stains on top of the toilet seat cover. Thursday I spoke with Kathryn on the phone and she wants to rehash issues from 10 years ago. I'm not interested in that. Friday afternoon Leslie said James#3 was going to move in today but he never showed up. I'm not going to ask Leslie about it because she is so scatterbrained I can't get a straight answer out of her. I got an email from my ex-girlfriend Ann asking to reconcile. I already told her what she needs to do for that. For this upcoming week I have some one coming over for an interview on Monday morning. I hope they show up. They already cancelled once. I hope if they take the job they have a good work ethic. The kitchen is a pig sty because Leslie doesn't clean it up. Ugh. I'm really tired of this.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ That’s too bad for you that you weren’t able to get your driver/caretaker in a timely manner (since Tunde is away). And that your weekly goals to get out were hindered because of it…. But that’s good that you were able to call the agency & follow-up with potential providers. Hopefully for you it will work out and things will look up with that. It’s good that you are also continuing to keep a relationship with your sister despite her wanting to bring up the past. (That itself can be a tricky thing since for some it may be too painful or angering to discuss…. But then for others it could actually be freeing and help to clear the air, make things better, & create a fresh start forwards)…. The question only lies in which way do you want to go & how do you think it would make you feel to discuss it)?…. Is there a specific reason you aren’t allowed to make your own bed? (Unless it’s other than safety reasons)?… Hopefully you’ll soon know or find out what’s going on with James #3… it can certainly be challenging to adapt to a new person in your space… Moving forwards to Monday hopefully for you your potential interviewee shows up that day. The fact they already cancelled once would have personally lost some points with me.. And yes having a good work ethic especially for such an important job where others rely on you to be there for them physically is surely important!… I can definitely see why you can’t take the current living situation. Hopefully that continues to move forwards as well sooner rather than later. Thank you for checking in this week and sharing with us. Please continue to keep us updated on things.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean!
I completely agree with you about September. To me, September means fall, and that means things dying and it's all about school. August is the end of fun for me. But at least this year, I have August to look forward to, since I'm moving and my new job starts. I can't wait to get into my new place with Chloe. :)
Hey All~ Welcome to the Weekend~ ....How has your day been going so far? I woke up very nervous. And I don't know why. I feel better now, but that is exactly how my days go. I feel worse in the morning, and feel good at night...usually.
🌴 This is our "3rd" Check-in for the Month of JULY,~... What's One Healthy Practice that you did for yourself & your overall wellness this week... Name One thing for each (Mental, Physical & Emotional Health)?!
For mental, I took breaks when I was too stressed and watched something on netflix that would make me smile. For physical I started taking Osteo Bi Flex which seems to be helping. I have problems with my leg joints. For emotional, I tried to write to my listener, and she helped.
🌊 What is something That your "Wellness Cup" needs filled with "today"?!... my neighbors to be quiet tonight
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... It has been Soooo incredibly Hot & Humid here!... What is the temperature where you are today?.. And, WHAT is your most favorite way to Cool-Off in the Summer?! It's only 89 today and feels like 109. It's been hotter lately. My fav way to stay cool lately is to stay inside with the A/C on. As soon as I move, I'm going to go swimming in the apt pool.
🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I've had a lot of struggles. I'm moving and you know that a million little things go wrong. And I have to fix it immediately because I'm moving soon, and some of that stuff can't wait. I just keep pushing ahead.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree!~
Thats great for you that despite the feelings we both have regarding August, that it will be a positive month for you! (A new move AND a new job) are definitely things to celebrate 🎊
Waking up feeling nervous can certainly be a difficult feeling. However it’s totally human & common (especially if one is perhaps suffering with anxiety disorders or the alike). And It’s great that you were able to push through & feeling better now. I always feel better in the evenings too. :) Keeping busy and/or finding things to do to help combat those early-morning emotions can help. (By whatever you enjoy, relaxes you, or simply distracts your thoughts). We are here to support you.
How awesome for you that you were able to focus on one positive & healthy thing for yourself physically, mentally and emotionally this week! Look at you go! I’ve dealt with leg/knee/joint stuff as well. I do the Bio Freeze…, That’s great that the OsteoB. Is helping you. Continue to keep up all the great work you are doing. 👍🏼
It’s so funny as it’s been almost 100 here, but as of yesterday/today it finally dipped back into the upper 80s as well and still feels (as you said), 109!!! 😵💫😂… The AC is a great choice, and yes the “Pool” is right up there!! I hope you do get to use and enjoy it when you move.
It’s awesome that despite your challenges and struggles that you continue onward & forwards & keep pushing ahead! It’s all we can do. And you’re doing great! Your goals are all coming together Tree! 🙏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for checking in this week and sharing with us! Sounds pretty positive which is a good thing for you! Continued good luck on the inevitable move & new job and please continue to keep us updated!

@thisismyusernamefr
Hey there~
That’s good that your day has been going well for you. And that you had a chance to get out & about today, as well throughout the week. It’s good for us to get outside, enjoy fresh air & our surroundings.
@PoliteOcean hey, hello everyone. Doing okay today which is nice since yesterday and the day before were bad so I'm just feeling the bucolic vibes. Still in my ideal weight range for my height and age which is some kind of miracle considering affogato and tiramisu exists. These Italians are out for blood...sugar.
@communicativePond1728
Hey Pond~
It’s good that you are doing okay today despite the previous days not going as well for you.
How great for you that you are continuing to keep up with your ideal weight. Which is always a feat the more time goes on! Do you have any special tips that you do or suggest that continue to keep you in line?! … Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Thanks for stopping by to check in & share your week with us. Continue to keep us updated.
@PoliteOcean
It's 112° here today with 13% humidity. That may not seem like a lot to some people but I'm used to low humidity. Also, I'm still in a high heat warning. So, I try to do what I need to do (like groceries) early. Then I stay inside with the dog and keep her amused. This is difficult because she's a working breed.
Days where I work which is a large part of my life, I get up at a quarter to four, walk the dog, and then go to work. Afternoons are spent playing inside with the dog because when I get home, it's usually too hot for her to go out.
Challenges consist of work and school and trying to keep active in the constant high heat and slight physical limitations. And financial limitations.
Right now, I have to make sure the peace is kept between the cat and the dog. The cat just woke up and has come out of hiding...
@Enthenia
Hi there~
Wow 112 is definitely a hot day! … Getting outside early on is certainly a good idea. And for pets too…. I’ve been trying as much as I can In the early mornings with my own furbaby but sometimes even that isn’t feasible with the heat & humidity this summer… I can also see that your work schedule can definitely make for a very busy day (for both you & your dog).
Before long it’ll be cooler again, summer will fade into Autumn, and the weather will surely be better for the pets. Now only if your work schedule could adjust a bit as well?!
Good luck on keeping the peace between both the dog & cat. It’s always amazed me those that could own both and have them “co-exist” together . Keep up the great work!
And thanks for checking in to share with us this week. Continue to keep us updated.
@PoliteOcean it's a slightly cooler than it has been. Had a 116° sometime last week.
@PoliteOcean Hi Ocean!
🌞 Hey All~ Welcome to the Weekend~ ....How has your day been going so far?
My day so far has been going well! Woke up an hour ago and I am just doing forum stuff here on 7cups.
🌊 What is something That your "Wellness Cup" needs filled with "today"?!...
Relaxation.
🏖️ JUST FOR FUN:... It has been Soooo incredibly Hot & Humid here!... What is the temperature where you are today?.. And, WHAT is your most favorite way to Cool-Off in the Summer?!
@KateDoskocilova
Hey there Kate~ That’s great for you that your day is off to a good start for you. Sometimes I do that as well after I get up, just lay in bed on 7cups getting my bearings before starting the day lol..
Ahhh yes… relaxation is a great thing to fill our wellness cup with!
Haha Hope you’re staying cool! 😎
Thanks for checking in and sharing with us today. Sounds like things are well. Please keep us updated!
