Looking after ourselves

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi Peoples... some achievements out of necessity today. We're going to be traveling to visit my parents while there's a suitable(ish) break in the weather, so I needed to make sure things were ready for us to leave. Hubby and I managed to get down some of the very overgrown weeds in our yard (not all, but it's an improvement), and I pulled out a bunch of rhubarb sitting in the fridge threatening to go off, stewed it, used one cupful to make a fruit slice to take with us, and the rest is going into the freezer for some other time. I kept aside a few of the freshest looking stems that should still be good when we get back for a rhubarb relish recipe I've been wanting to try.
We'll do a quick pack in the morning, and then get on our way. Only a four day trip, so we don't need to take much.

 

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Smc Hey.  Its been a while since we "spoke".

Finding a suitable break in the weather is an interesting turn of events when for a long time we seemed to be able to function and take rain/shine/hot/cold for granted.  

 

@puzzlingdino Well done.  If the presence of others in the house is limiting you in basic selfcare activities, is there room for discussion.about that?  I mean without blame, but understanding the mechanisms of your issues.

 

@Judi9877 @tyme Cheers

 

@Shaz51 We keep on keeping on aye ...

 

Spag Bol, church standing for myself, telling an elder, that I will do gardening "when I feel the call" (not at his whim or habitual bossiness).  It was a drawing a line in the sand statement and I think he got the idea.  We will see.  Then I was sorting through music repertoire in the afternoon.  I am pretty driven and would never have survived without being autonomous, self managed and regulate, despite a chaotic childhood.. 

Re: Daily Achievements!

Sounds like you have accomplished a lot @Judi9877 - you are such an inspiration!

I think it's great you are planning a holiday - I think it helps when we have things to look forward to. 

Hope the week ahead is good to you - it sounds like you are off to a great start 🙂!

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather 

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi there @FloatingFeather and others joining here today. Well done on your achievements! 

For my achievements so far today, they have been:

- had a shower

- had breakfast 

- helped my housemate lodge a bet for the Melbourne Cup 

- did some knitting of a blanket 

- checked out Facebook 

 

@FloatingFeather I did go on holiday back at the start of September to Echuca for 8 days but I haven’t got any more holidays planned due to not having any spare money and being undecided about future courses I want to study at the moment and needing time to work that out. Maybe in another 12 months I’ll look at going away again. 

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐
