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

Tomorrow we are rehoming my daughter’s dog who I am attached to. She is away at college (home for the summer) and made the decision to rehome him through a reputable adoption center. I think after I accomplish this difficult task, I will keep myself busy by running errands and going to a movie or out to eat or maybe float for awhile.

Warm wishes to all.

My day has been OK. I did go for a walk!

(Am only trying to be kind to myself with that emoticon). I bought a curtain, went to a café and went to the library. There they had some small maps. May be I need bigger ones, but that has to wait.

Tomorrow I hope to get up early, have my breakfast and then go to a cash dispenser and so buy something I saw today. It's a bit heavy, so I have to get it home before I can go out again to visit the grocery shop. No further plans for the day other then to fill the dish-washer and the washing machine. I want to take it easy for the rest of the day, not try to use to much energy!

A good weekend to all!

(((Hugs))) Rehoming a cherished pet is always difficult. I hope they find him a wonderful new home and you and your daughter have peace of mind. Enjoy the movie and relaxing in the pool.

I second that!

Today I floated in the pool, picked up groceries and cleaned the dining room. Tomorrow I will:

1. Clean the den
2. Relax in the pool
3. Have lunch with my mother and siblings.

Warm wishes to all.

Only motivated to do laundry today and otherwise rested and watched favorite baking reality tv show and movies. Meant to go walking, but didn’t, and meant to take a shower, but didn’t. Still recovering from vacation and from TMJ acting up.

Tomorrow will:

1. Take a shower
2. Go to work
3. Walk my dog
4. Cook soup for dinner

Today (Monday) I will try to remember that I am low in energy and will try to be careful to not do more than my energy allows. I will do voluntary work (have promised to do so, so I cannot skip that). After that I will go home to have my dinner (easy; pizza today) and not do anything more than load the dishwasher and rest, read or use Netflix.

Best wishes to all!

Deilla · Jul 01, 2019 at 07:13 AM

Not motivated to do much today. I will try to take a shower and do a little on a couple of tasks. Mainly I plan to rest and sleep.

Sunflower123 · Jul 01, 2019 at 09:20 AM

Not motivated to do much today either and woke up dizzy and nauseated. I think aside from spending time with my daughter, I will rest today.

Warm wishes to all.

My Monday has been OK.

Some of my plans for Tuesday:

After breakfast I will do some de-cluttering, load the dishwasher, and do dusting in every room. After that I need to visit the grocery shop (forgot to buy eggs today). Will make a fish dinner. Relax after dinner or go for a walk if my energy allows it.

Best wishes to all!

Tomorrow my plans are:

1. See my NP for a med adjustment
2. Finish cleaning the den
3. Finish cleaning the dining room

After which I will relax by floating in the pool.

Warm wishes to all.

Didn't have a lot of energy today but I made it to my doctor appointment and I cleaned litter boxes. I still have more litter boxes to clean. I will have to push myself. I'm glad the doctor visit is out of the way. I'm not to happy with the outcome. But I'll deal with it.

Sunflower123 · Jul 02, 2019 at 07:22 PM

My plans for Wednesday:

1. Finish the den
2. Go to a Fourth of July celebration on the river
3. Finish the dining room

Warm wishes for everybody to achieve what they wish to achieve.

I did not feel well yesterday, but was able to do the dusting in the living room. I do still not feel well, have problems loading the dishwasher, but will finish it. After that I will vacuum the living room (10 minutes on and off), a slow process, but at least it works. I have invited guests for tomorrow, so I need to do this!

Big HUGS to everyone on the thread!

I have been busy all morning. I am tired now. I still have more work to do but I will take a break for a while. I'm starting to feel sad. Maybe playing my game will help. Hope everyone is doing well and having a good day. (((Hugs))) to all!

Sunflower123 · Jul 03, 2019 at 10:35 PM

I really just enjoyed time with my daughter and the celebration. Tomorrow I will:

1. Attend a cookout
2. Finish the den no matter what
3. Have a session with my life coach

Warm wishes to all.

Hope that the playing helped or that something else will!

The cookout was fun (too much good food) and I had a good first session with my life coach but I’m finding it so difficult to find the motivation to finish the den. If I would just start, I’m sure it would be done in a jiffy. So frustrating!

Tonight I’m going to do the homework my life coach assigned and then relax. I will make the den my mission for tomorrow.

Warm wishes to all.
