Looking for accountability partners to motivate to get things done while depressed #3

I cleaned the litter box, washed dishes and emptied the trash. Later I will do light housework then relax. Mainly I want to rest today.

Sunflower123 · Apr 04, 2019 at 10:11 AM

I have the house to myself and am totally relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. It’s so nice. In a few minutes, I will make a healthy smoothie, meditate and practice yoga. Later today, I will run three errands and continue working on my bedroom. Finally, I will enjoy some light reading and a funny movie.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful, productive day.

I made it to my appointment. I'm so glad. I missed it last week. I felt so much better about it today. I don't have to go back for 3 more months. Will celebrate my success by relaxing!

A good weekend to each one of you!

Sadly, it is the exception and not the rule that I have these days of good energy and motivation. I enjoy them when I can.

Deilla · Apr 06, 2019 at 05:09 AM

I unloaded the dishwasher and opened a package this morning. Later I will clean the litter boxes. Mainly I will try to take it easy. Not feeling all that well emotionally today. Maybe some arts and crafts will help. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Sunflower123 · Apr 06, 2019 at 09:11 AM

I’m tired today...slept about 4 hours. I’d REALLY like to go back to sleep or snuggle under a soft blanket and read a good book. Instead, I’m committed to going to this Mad Hatter’s luncheon at church. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be more alert and have fun once I get there.

Plans for Saturday:

1. Mad Hatter’s luncheon
2. Continue cleaning bedroom
3. Rest

Warm wishes to all for a productive and peaceful weekend.

I'm sick today (sore throat and vomiting) so I need to rest and not do much. I did go to Walmart to get a thermomenter and some medicine. Temp is just slightly above average now, but I did take Tylenol earlier.

I hope you feel better soon.

NightRain2019 · Apr 06, 2019 at 11:58 AM

I pretty much did all the stuff I posted for last Wed. The food pantry had mostly fun stuff & not much healthy, so i’ve Been eating chocolates, a wine/cheese ball with crackers & canned chili which has a lot of trans fat. Probably not helping w the vertigo. Mostly inactive last couple of days. I took in some donations & passed out a few things Thurs when I made it to the soup kitchen.
I have started my journal again. Have been using meditation app & have been writing a little.

For tomorrow I hope to get out & work on cleaning out car &/or get to camp, find a spot & help my friend start setting up.

Today will try to
Take shower
Throw away stuff in apartment
Clean kitchen
Scoop litter
Find info for paperwork I need to do Mon
Drink lots of water
Get to sleep early

Deilla · Apr 07, 2019 at 04:34 AM

I cleaned the litter boxes this morning. I feel better today. Don't want to do housework today. So I'll just relax.

Sunflower123 · Apr 07, 2019 at 12:20 PM

I’m going to work on my bedroom today. It’s one of the last two rooms I need to straighten out. I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Warm wishes to all.

Sunflower123 · Apr 07, 2019 at 12:23 PM

Plans for Monday:

1. Water aerobics
2. Run errands
3. Start work on storage items
4. Take mom to Doctor

downandlonely · Apr 07, 2019 at 12:25 PM

@jennifer_1967 thank you for the well wishes!

I'm currently doing laundry and hope I will feel well enough to go to work tomorrow.

Deilla · Apr 08, 2019 at 10:50 AM

Emptied the trash and cleaned off my kitchen counters. Might do some light house work today. I don't know. I'm sort of tired and don't feel like doing much.

Managed to get the laundry done and clean off my kitchen table. I guess I feel productive enough. Might clean the litter box.
