People know me here. I am in a process where I need structure.

Here we go:

-Make a phone-call
- Empty the dishwasher
- De-clutter a table
- Vacuuming 10 minutes on and off (need to rest in between because of asthma)
- Eat and rest in between

I am glad to see that there have come new folks here! Hope everybody feel good!

It's not even 9 AM and it's already been a rough morning. I have low expectations for today. I have to run an errand before something scheduled at 11, have something else at 1 that will probably go on all afternoon, and a meeting at 7. All the space in between goes to waste because of driving time etc.

1. Finish dishes.
2. Work on portfolio.
3. Odds and ends from to-do list.

I love that you kept your task list simple and accounted for giving yourself a break. I sometimes push myself to vacuum or sweep every room and then get nothing else done. Keep us posted.

My cat is staying at the vet tonight and it doens't look good, so I feel like crying all day. I'm going to try to do these things today, with lots of breaks to just breath:
- go through one stack of paper and sort/toss as needed
- clean the cat boxes
-Dust and vaccum my living room
-put dishes in dishwasher

Thanks to you all for sharing yourself here, I'm glad I found you!

I have done everything on my list except the vacuuming. My back was so painful that it was rather impossible.

Plans for tomorrow:

- Shower after breakfast
- Empty dishwasher
- Vacuuming with breaks until I feel it is enough for my back
- Visit grocery-shop
- Make healthy dinner

Peace to those who appreciate peace!

Thank you so much! I used to use My Support Forum before, but somebody trampled so hard on my feet, that I decided to quit. That was a good decision in that particular situation even if I have missed this special "check in" thread, but now I really needed it. And I need breaks because of my back and because I am not so young anymore.

One of my younger relatives will come in near future to install a "self-going" vacuum machine. I look so much forward to that!

It was really helpful to put down my to do items today!

I am having a good day. Yesterday was good as well. I did a lot of self care activities first like floating in the pool, buying beautiful flowers to plant and sitting by a creek reading a book. Just what the doctor ordered. Then I got down to the business of attending to my mother’s and brother’s needs. Today I have already floated and taken a brisk walk through nature. For the rest of the day I will:

1. Straighten the den
2. Go to a movie
3. Take out the trash

I hope everyone is having a good day.

I’m sending good thoughts that your cat gets better soon. I’m sending you supportive vibes. I hope everything goes well. I’m glad you’re here.

thanks Deilla. I have a cat that has urinary inflammation issues who is very sick today, so I'm off to the vet. I'm not going to set any tasks for today or tomorrow as I am feeling very sad and working on breathing and trying to be hopeful he will be ok.

TJean
I hope your cat is Okay. Both my cats have UTI problems. They're on a special diet. That controls it. Let us know how it goes.
