I am doing well!! I could not be better. Life is swell at times.

I been listening to sad inspiration song to address how I been feeling today.

I was able to fall asleep, & now I'm here.

I'm pretty upbeat this morning. I am getting stuff done but taking it one step at a time.

Breaking Dawn · May 12, 2021 at 05:11 AM

I am talking to myself with the intention of making myself stronger.

I am exhausted and stressed out.

I had a good day, we spent time with my husband's friend this morning who he hasn't seen because of the restrictions- that was really lovely.

I also made healthy choices today with my eating, and exercised too. Both of those things feel so much easier with sunshine!

I'm coping by using my walker today and then just trying to relax. I don't feel well today.

I have been googling nutrition facts, & I ate a good breakfast this morning. Also I've been talking to myself with positive statements. At this moment I'm waiting for a tv program that I like, & after that I will fulfill one, or more, of my back burner goals.

Shopped at Aldi yesterday and just bought vegies, a pack of strawberries, a chuck roast and a couple of kombuchas (when I made kombucha, I got vinegar)--Oh and whipping cream--we all use it in our coffee and drink at least one quart of the stuff a day--probably more like a quart and a half--that's a lot of whipping cream!

When we took a break from our walk yesterday, I noticed dozens of grasshoppers on our philodendron so instead of doing the full walk, I cut the heads off of most of them (we don't use pesticides) and am going to look to get the rest this morning. My H's garden is fantastic (dozens and dozens of tomatoes will turn red soon

)--I don't want those grasshoppers to ruin all his work. Thankfully, they find the philodendron more delicious than his garden right now....

@TunedOut I read about companion planting once, sometimes it means planting something that will take the pests away from something you don't want to lose! It's a challenge when you don't use pesticides, for some pests a mild soapy spray can work. Good luck protecting those tomatoes!

So, I'm doing well. I like to think of recipes to cook for my new man. So, I like cooking. So, I'm thinking of making chicken avocado salad next my way. I'm happy so far. Yes, it is partially due to my new man but also because I'm doing well overall. I know I'm a priority. When I'm with my new man, I try to focus on him but while I'm by myself I focus on myself. I'm really blessed. Two of my acquaintances suddenly passed away recently. It hit me hard! I was really saddened by their deaths. Life is short so don't waste it!! I am feeling grateful for all that I have in life.

I'm coping by doing some organizing. I feel better today. I have less pain and more energy. I'm almost done with my desk. I just need to wipe it down and put some things in the donation pile.

Kidfle · May 14, 2021 at 08:07 AM

[Some help is no help at all.
Therapist suggested I check out some groups to see how others handled some of the issues I'm dealing with. Attended two groups in two days and came away angry and more depressed. Either people were more depressed than I am or got angry at what they were being made to do threw. Nobody seemed to have concrete ideas. Just hang on it gets better. Sure!! If your arms don't give out first. Calling T........

We removed all the wallpaper ourselves and decided not to paint the room. It looks white and fine. A buyer will want to paint it the color they choose anyway. Packing up my stuff, slowly, carefully, but without knowing where I’m going.

. I think, slow baby steps will eventually get me out the door.

Or

?

I'm not feeling well, I can't seem to sleep and I need a visit with the psychiatrist but he's still in the covid bubble, phone only.

Mountaindewed · May 14, 2021 at 05:58 PM

I coped well but today was a headache. Like I literally have a headache right now. I had to figure out some online stuff and then I tried getting my second Covid vaccine set up but in order to get a second one at a different location you have to actually go to the pharmacy and talk with them. But I’m all set up on the 19th and my brother is set up for his first one. I ordered groceries for an online pickup for Sunday because I just can’t concentrate when I’m in a store but when I’m at home I know exactly what I need.

I had anxious thoughts yesterday, I disabled Facebook which helped.

Last night I made myself do yoga and the difference afterwards was marked. Much calmer in my mind.

Today I went for a walk by the river and the view calmed me too. I ate a healthy nutritious lunch and now I feel calm and centred.

Hugs to you all - thanks for the support we all give each other.
