Positive Things I've done today #6

Planned meals and got groceries
Emptied dishwasher
Took a shower
Ordered air cleaner filters
Paid bills

Starting dinner in about a ½ hour or so

Thanks Fharraige for reminding that paying bills counts -

I paid my rent
Took a shower, washed my hair and used perfume
Had lunch with my former coworker which was great
Worked a lot and feel very accomplished and content - although I did not do as much as I hoped, I did make a dent
Had tea throughout the day
Wrote a Safeway shopping list and will go shopping now

Omg your country still has Safeway (a supermarket right?) If so wow. In Scotland we haven't got any anymore. I use to work in Safeway's as we called it back then from 2001-2005. Then was made redundant as Morrison's took over Safeway. Morrison's is another supermarket chain. Anyways if you are talking about the supermarket that's so cool. If not dismiss this post lol.

Made muffins for breakfast
Filled out SSDI review paperwork

How funny! I just got done making muffins for tomorrow's breakfast, too. It smells wonderful in my house. I made banana nut muffins. What type did you make? All the best luck with your SSDI review.

I washed lots of dishes, prepared all the meals, spoiled my pet parrot, and shaved my legs to go swimming. Oh well! No swimming. It's pouring rain with thunder and lightening right now. It was sunny earlier.

I need to prepare things for my private disability review, but I am putting it off until I teach my class on June 7-8.

I prepared one and almost finished another module for my class. And got too tired of that second module, so I quit it and started reading on the next one, which is a fascinating read. I now look forward to resuming tomorrow.

I made a foot massage appt for tomorrow - will go check out a new restorative yoga class and then to Starbucks for dinner and then will get a foot massage; they are all at one plaza.

Made dinner and ate it. Chilled. Delicious on a hot day. My own recipe. Took Geodon right away, when full.

Had lots of tea throughout the day, with cranberries and with apple peel.

Dealt with some unpleasant matters.

Cleaning more than Rent-a-maid.

I am washing the bedsheets (a chore I really hate).

Went for a walk even though I just wanted to go back to bed

Double-Chip Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins

Did five loads of laundry
Swept hallway, laundry room, and kitchen
Sent my SSDI review paperwork off
Put dishes away and reloaded the dishwasher

Will be starting dinner in ½ hour

I finally learned how to upload pics to PC! I feel like I've won a gold medal, LOL!!

I know. It is not self-explanatory.

Congratulations!

I made a big dent in the work effort and as my anxiety level goes down - I see now that I will have enough time to cover all the material as I prep to teach the class, my enthusiasm goes up - I look forward to seeing the students.

the only thing is - it will be on ZOOM, an online meeting platform. I am afraid of tech, so my friend who knows the platform agreed to "meet" me there beforehand, have me upload a presentation, talk, listen to her, move through slides, etc. That should help.

I also went to an awesome new yoga studio, had a foot massage, and did light shopping. And, took a shower and used perfume afterwards.

I took a bunch of clothes and other stuff to Goodwill
I took a shower after that
I got lots of compliments from the dentist--best checkup I've had for a long time
I made a healthy dinner

I went to work and enjoyed eating out for lunch.

I completed preparing to teach two more modules. I learned the names of my students, scanned their LinkedIn profiles, emailed them, and started thinking about how to teach the class given that two are very experienced and the third one is a rookie.

Dealt with some unpleasant business.

Was anxious and hypomanic. Still anxious, but not hypomanic anymore. Went to see the pdoc.

Most imporantly, learned the basics of using the video online meeting platform on which I will be teaching.

Shopped for ingredients, made and ate soup.

Labile mood, but hopefully I will have a good night of sleep and will feel better tomorrow.

Dropped my daughter off to the gym for exercise
Drafted up a schedule for the day
Tried to apply for jobs. Got stuck in "analysis paralysis" and self doubt, but am going to try to at least get one application finalized for the day
Continued organizing my job hunt listing

Accomplished second EMDR session

I can't recognize myself. Three long years of a deep black rabbit hole depression almost erased who I am.
I am me again. I like myself much more now.

So much to do, so little time. Can't name so many activities in my day. I'll waste time, hehe.

Took my two dogs for a looooooooooong walk in the forest!

- Took a nap after not sleeping enough at night. No more hypomania - Zyprexa helped.

- Walked to Starbucks, had a latte and ate lunch there and came back by city bus. That was before taking a nap.

- Dealt constructively with an unpleasant issue as well as with a result of miscommunication in connection with my upcoming teaching. Started dealing with logistics of teaching.

- Earlier made breakfast, ate it and did the dishes right afterwards.

I went to work and ate at a a nice restaurant. I am tired.

Trying to take care of myself by checking this swelling on my neck, and getting my meds.

Cut the grass in the front and back yards

Didn't think about suicide.
