SELF CARE SUNDAY



What is on your agenda for today?

 

[Summer2018]

I'm so sorry that I have been MIA. It has been a WEEK. I got pinkeye the day before graduation, so in addition to EVERYTHING I had to do to prepare for graduation, much of which my kindergarten colleagues take for granted since I direct the entire program, I had to go to the walk-in clinic, pick up my prescription, and a bouquet of flowers for a departing behavior therapist who lost her job due to funding cuts. (How's that for a run-on sentence?) My eyes were oozing and obviously, I couldn't wear any makeup on graduation day. The ceremony went mostly well...a glitch in the beginning with sound because a tech person interfered with my microphone instead of leaving it to me. I had a long coughing fit while a colleague was handing out her awards, so I ran out into the hallway where I coughed up a lung. I looked like I had the plague in photos and begged parents not to post them on Facebook which they did anyway.

I gave my virus including pinkeye to both DH and DD. They are miserable, and I feel terrible for bringing the plague into my home. Father's Day is a bust. Tomorrow is DH's birthday. He's getting a chest X-ray this afternoon, because he's just not improving.

My onboarding paperwork and requirements for my part-time summer job have been ridiculous and very time-consuming. I seriously CANNOT. I'm just trying to get ALL of my end of the year work done. I will deal with the rest of the nonsense when school is out on Wednesday.

Meditation is definitely something I need, and for the 8 weeks that I took the mindfulness class after school, I was really benefitting from it. Carving out time alone to do it is the issue.

My WOO HOO and thankfulness is that I survived last week and I only have two days left of school.

Oh my goodness, you have had a week. Hopefully y'all are on the mend soon.

Self care today is relaxed low key day with a few errands and a few chores and a nice walk in the nature preserve. The weather is perfect, sunny and low 70's, and it is such a treat. There will be desk sitting this evening.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Self-care today is the house to myself! I did do some work on the pool, but mostly just called and texted various dads I know a happy day and took the cat out whenever she wanted - where I proceeded to read several chapters of my library book and spent far too much time scrolling Instagram while she sunned herself and waited to see if the chipmunk would come out.

MOTIVATION MONDAY

 

[Oneanne]

Motivation for this week... I already have fun plans for the weekend! Saturday there's an open house at a local observatory that I'm going to go to: I have a thing for observatories so excited there is one close by. And Sunday I get my hair cut and more color put in - woohoo!

I am also planning to do things that get me out of the house in the evening this week, as we're coming up on the Summer Solstice and days are at their longest.

 

[ShannyMcB]

Motivation is to keep moving! This past weekend was INSANE but DD was a rockstar at her recital (DH and I didn’t suck) and she is even recognizing/verbally saying ballerina.
Two more days of school
And in the category of everything happens for a reason…a nest or two worth of baby birds decided our pool deck was the place to practice flying. If the pool had been up there would have been MANY new flyers taking a swim. So maybe it’s a good thing there has been a delay.

TOPIC TUESDAY

 

[piglet1979]

I am trying to keep my motivation on my walking. I have done great and ahead of schedule on my minutes right now. Though it might be hard to walk today and tomorrow. We are supposed to get rain and storms but then it will be nice but hot and humid the next several days. I have been doing this all while fighting what the doctors think is an infection. We just don't know what the infection is yet. I have had 2 rounds of antibiotics since the beginning of May and neither has done anything. Thankfully I have not had a fever so I feel ok. Not normal but ok. I am hoping to find out more today. If it is what my doctor thinks it is, I may end up in the hospital on IV antibiotics (this is worst case, but I really need to just stay off of Google). I am crossing my fingers that this is not the case as DD's grad party is Saturday.

Ugh... I seem to be falling apart. In addition to my black eye, which hasn't cleared up yet, this morning I pulled a tendon in my lower left leg. With so much walking in my commute this is really going to be a problem, dang it. I'm just getting into the swing of coming in three days a week and if I need to take a break and then start over again I won't be happy. Heck, I'm already not happy just having a sore leg.

According to my horoscope June is supposed to be a spectacular month for Gemini's, gee, I sure would like that spectacular to start.

WOO HOO WEDNESDAY!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!

 

[PollyannaMom]

Congratulations on making it to summer, @Summer2018 !!!

 

[Oneanne]

Woohoo... I managed to make it home yesterday, mostly because of a $20 Lyft ride from the office to the dock. Now its smearing on lots of icy hot stuff and just staying off it so it can heal. And I have a massage Sat morning, which will hopefully help.

I came into this week really focused on getting out to meet people. I missed being able to join the new walking group last night but woohoo, I am planning to go to open knit at the yarn store this evening. There's music in the square Friday evening and then the Observatory open house Saturday. Thank goodness for summer and all the extra activities it brings.

 

[piglet1979]

Woohoo that today is my Friday. Office is closed tomorrow and I took Friday off so it gives me 2 days to prepare for DD's grad party Saturday.

In not so good woohoo is that my results came back inconclusion so I had to go back yesterday so they can run th etest again. I hopefully will get the results tomorrow.
