**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
☀️This past week was a bit of a mix.... Last weekend started off with some great weather that heated back up to summer-time temps, & was motivating.... I got in my Zumba classes to start off each day Sat/Sun.. And there was also a Weekend long Festival here.. So We got out & about to enjoy the weather, festival & activities.~
🌷 As the week itself started off, I got back to my usual schedule & tasks etc.. And also finally made lots of head-way on a few home projects I've put off... I seemed to have some great extra energy this week... But by mid-week, a big Stressor presented itself in something that I thought was already dealt with & taken care of, but wasn't. Needless to say it felt rather challenging mentally & emotionally as I worked hard to get things taken care of, & it interrupted my overall well-being a bit through the remainder of the week... But, I did manage to take charge of what I "could" control, & got in some good rest, took breaks when needed, got in good hydration, & stayed on top of meal-planning/tracking, (even through the stressors).~ As the month gets ready to close, just trying to finish-up strong.
🦋 This weekend ahead we will celebrate the Long Memorial Day Holiday weekend here... Intentions are to at least keep on track with Sat./Sun. Zumba classes & maintain basic activity goals.. Also hope to continue working on getting our pool opened & running... Then Run some small errands, Have a Holiday cook-out, & there's also a few nearby Holiday Festivals. Then some Road-tripping & Getting away after to "re-charge" for the week~
@PoliteOcean
I would bring a curry to share 🩷
My happy place is with my nephew's 🥰
I'm minding my one year old nephew tomorrow because my niece is nine and all of my nephew's and her are going off for the day, so not really the baby's cup of tea 💙😁
Enjoy your weekend Polite 🩵
@Amanda84
Thank you for bringing Curry for everyone. 🙂
Aww.. How lovely you enjoy your nephews so much! (I’m an only child, so it was like that for me with all my baby cousins when we were growing up).
How fun for you to be able to spend time with your nephew tomorrow. You sound like you are really excited & happy! Enjoy your time together! 💕🤗
Thank you for checking in to share with us Amanda. And have a great weekend ahead~
@PoliteOcean Sunday I took a shower. It was an ordeal, as always. I was really dehydrated. Still trying to beat my cold or whatever I have been dealing with. Monday I got a massage. Tuesday I stayed home. Wednesday I went to the dentist and while I was waiting this grumpy old man started to get belligerent with the office staff. I kept on hoping he would calm down but he never did. I was hoping the office staff would ask him to leave but they didn't do that either. I could have intervened but I wasn't feeling up to it. He made one of the other patients visibly uncomfortable. I left without being seen. Thursday and Friday Cynnikka cancelled on me because she was having car trouble. It's okay because I didn't have any thing critical to do. I finished reading Rebecca. It's very good. I wasn't feeling very intellectual this week. All I want to do is sleep all day. I'm sure it's a trauma response. My home environment is so oppressive. I feel like an eagle trapped in a cage. I want to be able to fly through my day without having to worry about someone ruining it. Leslie is such a weirdo. I don't know why it has been my destiny to hang out with such weird people for such a large part of my life. My lymphatic drainage brush arrived on Friday but I haven't had time to use it yet. For this upcoming week Monday is a holiday so Cynnikka will not be working. Tuesday I have an appointment with a podiatrist.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ Despite it being an ordeal, it’s good that you were able to get your shower in. Hopefully it helped & that whatever is ailing you isn’t far behind in being gone. That sounds like a pretty crazy experience at the dentist office. It’s too bad you weren’t able to stay & be seen. Hopefully you’re able to get another appt scheduled soon. I’m interested in hearing what they have to say about what you’re experiencing with your tooth... It’s good that your Caretaker canceling on you didn’t interfere with anything or any plans you might’ve made… And it’s also good that you were able to get yourself some rest. Sounds like your body & wellbeing may have needed it since you weren’t feeling well. It’s understandable that you are having feelings of oppression being in the environment that you are in. And that you are desiring more freedom for yourself. (But your “Leslie comment” surely made me chuckle. lol… )…Hopefully for you, one day you’ll have the freedoms of your own choosing going forward… Oh you’ll definitely have to let us know how your lymphatic brush works out for you. I was wondering about those myself?! I’ve read up on them a bit, just haven’t gotten one yet, And thinking of getting one. Thanks for sharing your week with us & please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go.~
@PoliteOcean Still recovering from an injury that occurred in March. Very slow going. Had first therapy session.
@UberRuminator
It’s so great that you are finally getting the therapy you need. Hopefully you find it to be beneficial for you and that you’re on your road to recovery. And that it starts to help support your overall wellbeing.
Please keep us updated on how things are going & moving along for you. And thank you for checking in to share with us this week.
@PoliteOcean
. WHERE or WHAT is "Your Happy Place"?~
right now we say at home with our cat on our daybed in living room. but before we was unable to do a lot it was the trails and camping and fishing alone. but we still have what we call mental vacations when we need to de-stress or calm down.
not sure if others here ever heard of this but it were when you can not go physically to a place you in our mind go there like a form of medication but to a real place you been but only go there in your mind for us it camping on the river after hiking back there we use all sense in this like how water there sounds the smell of the plants around the feel of the breeze and camp firer and a lot more this can be done anywhere too
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: It's the Memorial Day Holiday weekend & We're having a "Cook-out"~ What Dish will you bring to share with us?!
taco salad
What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?!
for us the big struggle was with eating as we eat something that really effected our stomach disorder and was not feeling well over the weekend am better today
@stormieandpaws
Hey there~
Thats great that you have found a Happy Place in both Physical & mental places. Pets definitely make a wonderful Happy Place. As well as creating a special place in our mental system (through mental vacations & such), that can help us to destress, decompress, & being calming peace. 👍🏼
Taco Salad is an awesome idea to bring to a cookout. I haven’t had that in quite some time! Yum :)
Sorry to hear that you had some Stomach issues over the weekend, but that’s good for you that things are going well & you’re feeling better now.
Thanks for checking in to share with us this week. And please continue to let us know how you are doing.
