I was able to clean the litter boxes and open packages. I put things away and then focused on relaxing. I went to bed very early. It's late now and I'm thinking of cooking. Today, I want to do the following:

1. Open more packages.
2. Put stuff away.
3. Organize my bedroom.

I wish everyone the best. I hope you do well with this week's tasks.

I feel fine! The weather is the same, so that is how it is. But it will not last for ever. My rheumatism is still there at a low degree.

I did get something done in the house yesterday. Along with those I went to University with, I don't feel that doing work in the house is the most important in the world. We never wanted to be like our mothers that served our fathers as if they were some kind of little gods. It has to be done some way or other and it takes more energy to do it when depressed. But I don't want to submit to it.

I did my "inner work", most of it, in my student time. But I don't think that that is done once and for all. We develop all our life. For the time being I am repeating DBT and feel OK with that.

I'll take a break from the tread.

My office is waiting. I look forward to prepare ...

May you all be well, get things done in your environments in your own tact and be proud of yourselves the way you are. You are good enough!

I was as down as was possible yesterday and I focused on managing that. I will continue focusing on getting back on my feet today.

Warm regards and best wishes to all.

The other day I was able to open the rest of my packages and put stuff away. I also worked on my bedroom. I'm not feeling well emotionally today. So I don't think I will do anything. I hope all of you are well. Happy Friday!

I was able to do 100% of my self-care today. I did pet care as well. Tomorrow I have an appointment and I will clean the litter box. That is all I will do. Basically, I want my weekend off. May all of you have a wonderful Saturday and Sunday!

Hi friends,

I have, as you probably have understood, a wish to slow down my activity here. It is better for me to use the ToDo app instead of announcing to the whole world what I am doing. We are too few here, to make it a good experience with feedback to each other.

I feel OK (enough) for the time being. It has been a hard time being isolated because of Corona. I suppose that will be history in a couple of months. Then I will be vaccinated and so will all my family members in danger for becoming very sick of Corona as well.

I have many plans for spring and summer, boat trips with family, swimming, hiking, using the Gym again, attain family gatherings, religious service and more.

As soon as the lock down ends it will be possible to do buy some equipments I need for my work so I can continue working.

Life will of course have it's ups and downs as it has for all people, but I expect to enjoy life in general and have hope of managing the not so good days.

(If you see me back here, that must mean that life is very bad. Lets hope that will not happen. ).

I hope you all will find relief for your sufferings and feel that you have meaningful activities to do.

If there are few inputs in this thread, may be you will feel satisfied with the free ToDo app instead.

GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for this!

I cleaned the litter box, washed dishes, took out my trash and ordered groceries. Those are my main chores. Today, I might try to cook. Mainly I will relax. Hope all of you are well!

I did none of my tasks that I had intended to do. I mainly listened to music. I did cut my hair and I colored it. So, I did do something productive. It was nice to do for myself. Today, I plan to do the following:

1. Clean the litter box.
2. Open packages.
3. Wash dishes.

I have the energy today so I think I can do it. I wish the best for everyone!

I did all three of my tasks. I finished them pretty early, so most of the day I was able to relax and take care of other business. I had a busy day. I think it's time for bed now. Tomorrow, I have a telehealth appointment. My second one this week. I'm not sure what else I will do. I would like to order groceries, but I doubt they would be delivered. The weather is too bad. I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!

I thought I would try to set some goals for myself today. So, I hope to do the following:

1. Do laundry.
2. Unload the dishwasher.
3. Prepare a meal.

I may not do any of it. And that's okay. It's difficult to feel motivated right now. If I don't do it today, I have tomorrow. I hope all of you are well!

I’ve gotten behind again due to not feeling good. I will make a reasonable plan and take one step at a time until I’m caught up. My inner work is overwhelming to me right now so I will let it go for awhile. My plans for today:

1. Phone calls
2. Boost car battery
3. Errands
4. Make taco soup
5. Housework
6. Workout

I hope everyone has a good Friday!

I took out my trash, unloaded the dishwasher and did some cooking today. I'm very tired now and I'm in pain. I'm not sure if I will load the dishwasher. I will try. I have to clean the litter box too. Tomorrow, I plan to do the following:

1. Clean the litter box.
2. Sweep
3. Take a shower.

I hope all of you are well. I wish everyone much success with their tasks!

I was able to load the dishwasher and wash my dishes. I also cleaned the litter box. I don't feel well this morning. I'm in a lot of pain, so I don't plan to do anything today. I will take the day off. I am very stressed and overwhelmed. I just need to relax. I hope all of you are well. Good luck with your tasks.

The only thing I accomplished was washing the clothes. Today, my mom is coming to help me clean. I hope to achieve the following:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Clean the floors.
3. Organize

I hope everyone is well. Good luck with your tasks!

My mom never showed up. I called her after lunch to see if she was still available and she said no. It was very important that I get her help because I have an inspection tomorrow. I did what I could around the house. I feel hurt and disappointed.
A great sorrow. Tomorrow, I have the following planned:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Go to the dentist.
3. Cook a nice meal.

I hope everyone is doing well. It's almost the weekend.

I’m really sorry your mom didn’t come to help you. Hopefully the inspection goes well.

Thank you! I cleared a path for them. That was the best I could do. They gave me a two-day window. So the maintenance people will come tomorrow. I don't think they showed up today. I was away for a while. But I have a few more hours to tidy up a bit more.

I was able to take out my trash this morning. And I went to my doctor's appointment. I didn't cook. I was too tired. I slept most of the afternoon. Tomorrow, I have more trash to take care of and I plan to do the following:

1. Wash dishes.
2. Clean the litter box.
3. Do some cooking.

Best wishes to everyone!!

Well, I have not had a very good success on my own. I am still not vaccinated. I have been alone for almost a year, now. A year!

I do not have a driver's license anymore because of my diabetes. I don't dare to use public transport because I am afraid of Corona (a realistic fear). On the top of all this loneliness came the hard winter. I could not allow myself to go out. (There is some sort of a skeleton disorder that runs in my family. A broken bone can mean a lot more than it does for other people). I thought it would be better when it started to rain, but now I have experienced how exhausted I am. I feel sad because I cannot see where to begin and where to stop, how to organize my day with all this pain (I have different physical health issues in addition to my depression). My depression is mostly in control for the time being.

I meant that we can be more clever to give real feedbacks in words when we understand that people struggle.

Quote:

Yes, when the Summer comes (my descendants are usually clever to pick up their "oldie" and bring me to good experiences in ordinary times without Corona) but we are not come further than near the end of February, yet. It's a long time until Summer.

Quote:
(If you see me back here, that must mean that life is very bad. Lets hope that will not happen. ).
Well, it's not a shame to fail. The only shame there is, is to not try (at least a little) to manage life the way it is.

My only promise to myself today with regard to do something necessary for my total condition (all my physical disorders and the latent depression that begin to blow again if daily life isn't handled properly) is:

FRIDAY:

1) Have a meal.
2) Pick up everything that goes in the dishwasher.
3) Fill the dishwasher
4) Put it to work
5) Empty it

Good wishes to all!
