Yes, I am asking for encouragement from a support group because I cannot get it from family. Also, I would never burden friends by being needy and asking for encouragement. They wouldn’t be my friends anymore (and I only sort of have two friends).

Dear lord, I am actually pleading for kindness and care...yikes...

We can definitely offer encouragement. I can relate to how you feel. My family isn't very supportive of me and the word encouragement isn't in their vocabulary. I get help from my friends and the group here. So, welcome!

@TishaBuv Sending encouragement your way! It's tough when family members never seem to get it.

Yesterday was 2 out of 3. I have three things scheduled this afternoon and feel a little stressed about what I can get done this morning before all those other things.

1. Homework
2. Client work
3. Certification work

Tisha Buv - welcome! We can certainly provide encouragement and kindness. I have family members who don’t get it either.

I have errands to run, 2 meetings and a PT evaluation for my back today. When I return home I will do some housework and prepare dinner. I’m working on having more balance in my life.

Best wishes to all for a peaceful, productive Tuesday!

Today has gone well for me. I got my shower, worked on some projects and took the trash out. Tomorrow, I will:

1. Clean the litter box.
2. Prepare a meal.
3. Read in bed.

I hope all of you are well! Have a happy Tuesday!!

I didn't do what I planned, but the day turned out to be even more jam packed than expected, so I kept busy. I slept poorly last night so am not sure how much I will accomplish today.

1. Lunch with friend.
2. Homework - wrap up and send

3. New project

4. Client update

Deilla · Apr 07, 2021 at 11:34 PM

I cleaned one of the litter boxes. I have more to clean tomorrow. I did open some boxes and I enjoyed doing some read. I read a nice short story. Tomorrow, I will:

1. Clean the litter boxes in the bedroom.
2. Open boxes.
3. Order groceries.

I hope everyone is having a good week. Best wishes for a happy Thursday!!

3 out of 4 for me yesterday. Today was full of obligations, but I just backed out of one that didn't interest me and am deferring another.

1. Workshop
2. Yard work

Deilla · Apr 08, 2021 at 05:20 PM

Today I cleaned the litter boxes, washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen and took a long nap. I wasn't able to get a good grocery slot so I will have to wait until Saturday. And I didn't have time to open boxes. Tomorrow, I will:

1. Get dressed.
2. Get my second shot.
3. Try to cook something.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!

Sunflower123 · Apr 08, 2021 at 07:05 PM

I went to PT today and took my brother to get vaccinated. We picked up dinner on the way back. I woke at 4:00 A.M. to get ready for my 8:00 am appointment so I’m pretty tuckered out about now.

Tomorrow:
1. Brother’s doctor appointment at 10:00
2. Mom’s doctor appointment at 11:00
3. Run errands
4. Housework
5. Review and revise goals
6. Talk to my daughter about graduation

Warmest to all!

I finally cleaned up the front yard. Today I am in an all day online class so I do not plan on getting anything done! I am excited about this class but also not sure I can stand to sit in a webinar for that long!

1. Find all class material and put it near computer.
2. Print out last minute class stuff.
3. Hang out sheets in the sun.

Deilla · Apr 09, 2021 at 11:35 AM

I got my 2nd shot. So now I'm fully vaccinated. I am happy about that. I also cooked something this morning. I might cook again for lunch. I'm waiting on groceries. They'll be here in a couple of hours. For the remainder of the day, I will relax. Tomorrow, I will:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Clean the bathroom.
3. Read and relax.

I hope everyone is well. May you all have a splendid weekend!!

Sunflower123 · Apr 09, 2021 at 07:38 PM

I managed to get my mother and brother to doctor appointments one hour apart. Both had good reports and are on the mend. I was planning to spend the whole weekend having fun but I have too much to do so I’ll limit the fun.

Plans:
1. Business
2. Errands
3. Chores
4. Zoom meeting
5. Have fun

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

hvert · Apr 10, 2021 at 07:01 AM

I'm also debating fun vs. work this weekend. The weather is going to be too nice to work indoors the whole time so hopefully I can do a bit of both.
1. Work on project due in May.
2. Yard work
3. Writing sample and resume

Deilla · Apr 10, 2021 at 12:16 PM

I had a difficult morning. I called a hotline for assistance. I don't plan to do any work today. I will try to relax:

1. Read a short story.
2. Watch a 360 video.
3. Doodle or color.

And I will order food so I don't have to cook. I hope everyone is doing well. May you enjoy the weekend!

Abandoned afternoon plans for a hike instead so only 1 out of 3 for me.
1. Project work
2. Planning for the week
3. Hike

Deilla · Apr 11, 2021 at 07:20 AM

I did nothing yesterday. I guess I won't do anything today either. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

Deilla · Apr 11, 2021 at 07:14 PM

I ended up doing laundry, cleaning a bit in the bathroom and straightening up my kitchen. Tomorrow, I will try to get back on track:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Unload the dishwasher.
3. Clean the litter boxes.

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. May Monday be a wonderful start to the week!!

A surprisingly good day yesterday - fun and productive.
1. Project work
2. Rake
3. Investigate new idea

Deilla · Apr 12, 2021 at 07:57 AM

It's early Monday morning. I don't want to leave my house today, so I won't take out the trash. Instead, I will finish my junk/donation pile and have some take it all away tomorrow, including my trash. This is all I will work on today. I just don't feel all that well. I hope everyone has a productive day today!!

hvert · Apr 13, 2021 at 06:09 AM

I didn't want to leave the house yesterday either. I canceled all my plans and skipped a class. I hope you feel better today!

1. More project work.
2. Cook
3. Yard work
