@soulsings a little while ago I tried to get from the wheelchair on to the bed, I thought it would be easier to try and launch myself 😁 ended up in the floor, flat in my face😂😂 it really hurt but my dignity was hurt more😂😂 that's the last and only time I'm trying something new 😁💗
Ouch! That must have hurt.. But you're awesome for trying ;)
@bigTouch67 😂😂😂 it did hurt💖💖 thanks💖
@Tinywhisper11 oh no that must have hurt. Maybe skip the physical new things and keep trying mental new things.
@soulsings good idea😁😁💖
@soulsings
I'm starting a new job soon.
@purpleTree4652 yay congratulations! Way to go.
It’s been a while. I suppose I should try & find something. It might help.
@TealPhotog sometimes it helps me to brainstorm things that I would like to do and then after the brainstorming I can see what is practical and possible.
Went on a solo date this past Monday for the first time in my life to get some boba and stayed there and enjoyed my drink and journaled.
@Priscella it is wonderful to get out of the house! So how did you get along with your self?
A lot of anxiety but it was peaceful and calm it felt really nice
A couple of nights ago I was pretty much completely out of groceries so I had to be creative. I ended up making a decent dinner, so maybe that counts?
@EmbraceYourWings9340 that is a great idea. They make contests out of that given certain ingredients and making something tasty.
@soulsings
As goofy as I am, a dance class would be out of the question. 😂
I'm always up to cooking something new and love experimenting while cooking. It's doesn't always work out but then it becomes a lesson learned.
@courageouspanda2006 a nice alternative to dance class might be 5 minute Tai Chi on youtube. 250,000 views last time I checked. It is very easy to do and energizing.
i’m trying omad for the first time! 🥣
@Cuddlysaurus listen to your body. If you feel weak and confused you might want to add another high quality food at a nother time something like milk or egg that is local and also good protein. The brain needs protein to function properly.
@soulsings thank you so much for the advice, i will make sure to do that!
@soulsings
I should get back to my Arabic classes...
@Fradiga that sounds challenging. Reading or speaking Arabic?
@soulsings
Well, both! I can read Arabic by now, even if I do not understand the meaning of most words. I could not carry a conversation but when I listen to news in Arabic, I can make out a little. I have no ambition for more at this stage.
Anyway, it is pretty late in my life to be able to use Arabic in either a social or professional setting, but I enjoy discoveries and anything which makes what's left of my brain move. The whole thing is really about building new synapses.
@Fradiga brain power is a good reason to study.
@soulsings
At the moment I am learning more about fermentation as fermented foods are good for the guts! 😊
@amiablePeace77 good idea. I tried tempeh fermented tofu but am not wild about it. I like yogurt.
What are some of the fermented foods you like?
@soulsings
At the moment I ferment sauerkraut, kombucha and ginger beer (nonalcoholic) and have a little bit every day with my lunch and supper.
@amiablePeace77 wow is sauerkraut something you always liked? Is it hot and spicy like kimchi?
@soulsings
Yes, I loved sauerkraut already as a child but cooked with mashed potatoes. To get the benefits of the probiotics I eat it raw now. It's a little sauer, not spicy. Kimchi is another nice, fermented food. I used to do it in the past but I try to change around to keep it interesting.
I am learning lots of new things at the momrnt thanks to my eleven year old nephew, new music, new dance routines, new ways to fly down a slide 😁 how long I can stay on a swing and how many chicken nuggets fit into my mouth at once 😁
@Amanda84 kids are great at improvising!
