My relatives are coming in to see mom and my brother. My sister is coming over to help so I’ll make my great escape. I’m going to bible study, out to lunch, a movie, to run errands and finally back home. I hope all goes well. Wish me luck.

I cleaned the litter box and ordered groceries. I even painted this morning. It was nice. Now I'm just waiting on my new computer to arrive. I don't have any other plans. Tomorrow I will take out the trash.

I ran errands this morning, had a four course meal out, enjoying some television and will take the trash out later. All in all...a pretty good day.

Warm wishes to all.

My computer arrived early. I spent most of the day restoring it. Tomorrow I will finish up. It's been a nice day.

Thanks! I did a mandala pattern on a rock this morning. It was like art therapy for me. It's very relaxing. I enjoy being present and working with the colors and making the shapes.

I worked on my computer today, cleaned off my kitchen table, did some cleaning in the bathroom and painted a rock. I'm sort of tired now. A nap will be good. Tomorrow I have physical therapy. That's my main focus.

I haven't felt well today. I didn't go to PT. I slept most of the day. If I take the trash out tomorrow, it will be a good day.

Woke up feeling better today. I'm less tired and my mood has improved. So today I hope to do:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Clean the litter box.
3. Cook myself burgers.
4. Paint rocks.

That should be good for a Saturday. Hope everyone is doing well!

I’m still here cheering everyone on! It’s hard making plans under the circumstances so I’m playing it by ear and covering all the bases. Will probably try again Monday.

I’m doing well and I hope everyone else is also. Warm wishes.

I had a busy day. I cleaned the litter box, worked on my computer and opened packages. I didn't do exactly what I had planned. I did the best I could. I will try again today.

I'm just not that motivated. I took out the trash and made myself a sandwich. I'm washing clothes at the moment. Tomorrow I have an ultrasound. That will be my main focus.

I do not feel well! I am not able to manage much. The SAD has a hard grip on me.

Plans for the rest of today (Tuesday):

- Hygiene
- Dinner
- Grocery
- Some (may be very little) work in the house / with the dishes.

May you all be well!

Made it to my physical therapy appointment. I now have 10 sessions to do over the next few weeks. I took out the trash. It's time to get some rest. Tomorrow I see my med provider.
