🌞 This past week went well and went by pretty quickly~... I started off last weekend getting out and about to enjoy the beautiful, mild & sunny weather. We drove to a place that we haven't been to since last summer where there's lots going on and lots to do. We enjoyed the drive out, got in a little shopping, & got in some good steps & activity. I was completely exhausted by the days end, but still managed to enjoy a good bit of 'Movie Night'....
🌼 I managed to keep on track throughout the week & got in my usual activity/workouts & classes. Sleep has vastly improved over the past week. And I was also very glad to see the return of "Spring"!.. We had some really nice weather this past week.. & outdoor time and walks with the Furbaby were plentiful.... In the coming week ahead I'm looking forwards to continuing on track & completing my goals for March. As I also look forwards to the Easter holiday with family next weekend.
🌺 Today it was supposed to rain, however, that pattern changed. So I've already stuck to my list of completing a light workout, & cleaning up the house. But will also add in taking advantage of (no rain) and get outdoors for a bit..... Even though my Son is grown, I still like putting together an Easter basket for him! 😂.... So I need to do a little shopping for that as well & get that done! Then Grab some healthy evening take-out & more Movie-night~
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Stuart has been yelling a lot ever since he's gotten back from the hospital. I went for a walk 3 times. I've been trying out different libraries because the ones I've been going to were too noisy. Tuesday Chuck was driving through the ghetto and drove like he was lost. What an idiot. Two lost white boys in da ghetto are subject to being preyed upon. Wednesday Sifa was working on the plumbing without communicating or keeping me informed. It was very stressful ☹️. There have been about 4-5 times when there were no clean glasses in the kitchen so I had to drink my smoothie directly out of the bottle. Friday there was no bread in the kitchen so I couldn't make my sandwich 🥪 so I had to eat two protein bars for lunch. 😡 Alarm never came back on Friday. Leslie and Sifa have no idea what they are doing.
@PoliteOcean I meant Alan not alarm. It was a predictive text typographical error.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo Hopefully they are checking on Stuart to make sure nothing serious is going on with him if he’s always yelling. Especially since returning from the hospital as he could be in pain or something else… That’s good you are keeping up with your walks & staying active. As well as continuing to try out different libraries to help your situation. Yeah driving through the “ghetto” isn’t necessarily a smart move especially if you stick out like a sore thumb!l… Who’s responsible for keeping up with the dishes? Sounds like they need plastic cups if nobody is going to stay on top of it?! It’s a good thing you continue to keep protein bars for when you truly need them. Sounds like that will continue to be a handy thing to do. Thanks for checking in this week & continuing to keep us updated on things.
@PoliteOcean wee bit late but better than never hehe 🤣
🌞 Hey Everyone~ How are you today, & how was your week?.... What are your plans for the weekend?! I'm doing good today, so far my week has been rather good. An plans for this coming up weekend is family time!
🌸 This is our 4th Check-in for March.... We have One last week ahead remaining this month~ What is something that you'd like to get done or accomplished for yourself before the month ends? I have accomplished staying consistent at work, the only thing I want to accomplish is finding the motivation to unpack the rest of the boxes in the townhouse lol.
🌺 With the arrival of Spring & the days getting longer, we have more time to "Stop & smell the Roses"... WHAT is something in your life that you'd like to Stop & make time or have more time for?... What are some steps you could take to make that happen for yourself? Currently I have been utilizing VTO at work for more time to clean and spend time with myself/family. I believe that the VTO has assisted me in finding more of a balance.
🌼 JUST FOR FUN:...What is your MOST favorite Spring-time Activity that motivates you during this time of year?! I know its a holiday thing but painting eggs, going to paint some this weekend!
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! My highlight has been having a good time at work, and spending more time with family. My struggles have been finding a balance for work/home life since I work from home.
🌸 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~ I would like to mention that I have begun the CDM training, I felt it would be a good skill to learn and apply here on 7cups! An my daughter has learned sooo much since the last check in! So I felt like I would mention her progress and wedding stuff has been started to be more discussed
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there I.P.~
That’s great that you are doing good and looking forwards to some family time ahead this week! That’s always exciting.
Great job to you on staying consistent with work… no wonder things are going so well for you there! …Also, try not to stress too much about unpacking moving boxes. I know what a chore that can be! Perhaps starting with “one” box for “one” room and sticking with that room until it’s complete then move on to the next one? Then Maybe It might not seem so daunting to you?… But I know everyone is different and may have a different preference. Either way you will get there! And before you know it, it’ll all be finished! You could even delegate “very small tasks” to your toddler too! They can do some little things at that age. Turn on some music, make some snacks & turn it into a little party!
Having that extra time from work (& taking it when needed), is Sooo very important! We definitely need to take care of ourselves as well as make time for the ones we love and things we enjoy. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing there for you! Keep up the great work you are doing!
Oohh painting eggs is so much fun! I miss doing that with my kid who’s now grown up Lol… Have fun and enjoy!
Despite the struggle of finding balance it’s great you are still able to see the highlights for yourself! I think once you finally get settled completely in your new place, that you will also finally start to feel more balance with things.
Wow, congrats on beginning CDM training and learning some new skills. As well as your daughter beginning to learn so much more too... Sounds like there is definitely some progression there from the last check-in. How great for you both! And good luck on the wedding planning. What a great time of the year to get started on it!
Again keep up all the great work! And thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things are continuing to go. Please continue to keep us updated & posted on things!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
Hey Everyone~ How are you today, & how was your week?.... What are your plans for the weekend?! I don't know how I am right now. I feel a little numb. Earlier in the week my advisor told me about a graduate job. That made me really happy. I sent in an email to let them know I'm interested. I'll supposedly hear from them on Wednesday or Thursday. I also started a new prescription because of my job being eliminated. It had me really shook up. So this is a pill that builds upon the other pills that I take. When I took the .5 mg pills, I felt great for two weeks. Then two days ago I had to move up to the 1mg pills and i got sick. I left work early and am not at work tonight. I'm not sure if it was the pills or not. Of course my nurse practitioner is on vacation, so the medical practice had to scramble to find someone to help me with what to do. The conclusion was to cut the rest of the pills in half and see how I feel. I'm supposed to call in to the practice and let them know tomorrow. Right now I feel a little fuzzy.
🌸 This is our 4th Check-in for March.... We have One last week ahead remaining this month~ What is something that you'd like to get done or accomplished for yourself before the month ends? I just want to get through my classes and get a job.
🌺 With the arrival of Spring & the days getting longer, we have more time to "Stop & smell the Roses"... WHAT is something in your life that you'd like to Stop & make time or have more time for?... What are some steps you could take to make that happen for yourself? I need to find a place to walk where I feel safe. Maybe between the semesters I can look around and find a new place to live, too. Sorry, I'm not very positive today.
🌼 JUST FOR FUN:...What is your MOST favorite Spring-time Activity that motivates you during this time of year?! Opening the windows to my apartment.
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I'm also putting on weight thanks to this new drug. I'm trying to eat less.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
It sounds like you are certainly dealing with alot of things and emotions this week… I think it’s great for you that you got a lead on a possible graduate job & have sent an email to get started on things. Good luck to you on that as you wait to hear more!…
I know it’s not always easy starting a new prescription depending on what it’s for. But sounds like it’s something that you really needed at this time (a booster) to help work with the other meds to feel better & more like yourself. What’s not the easiest is when it makes you possibly feel worse before feeling better. Hopefully you are finding that things have evened-out with that and that you are now feeling better?.. And it’s good that you had other providers there to help you transition to what to do until you & your main provider get it all figured out together!
Tree, we should never have to apologize for how we feel! Our feelings are our feelings. And should be validated no matter what we feel…. I do hope that things come together for you with your job. And that you are also able to find a safe place to walk! You definitely need to be and stay safe when doing so. And I think getting in some walks can also help to uplift you and provide that serotonin & endorphins needed through getting out in the air & sunshine for some light activity. Sometimes even taking a simple walk helps us to clear our head-space and put things in to some perspective! (And yes even being able to open up our windows this time of year is such a wonderful thing and great mood booster as well)!
I know that with certain meds can come weight gain. Not fun by any means, but I think you are doing an excellent job by just trying to take care of yourself and watching what you eat while things even out with them. Keep up the great work that you are doing. It’s all we can do and that’s enough!
Thank you Tree for checking in with us this week and simply keeping us updated. I know you’re usually the first one to post and I was concerned when I didn’t see you at first. So glad you were able to join us here this week! Please continue to keep us updated on things!
