I got extra sleep, overnight, thankfully!

However I still felt poorly this morning which was disappointing. 🫤

I struggled with the physical challenge of the very small and most necessary tasks as well as the steps involved in simple actions such as starting the coffee. 🙄

Finally I decided to go outdoors even though I could barely walk.
Whew. It was so pleasant outdoors. Warm but not hot and not humid, with a little summer breeze, moving the air.

I had taken the therapy ball which helps me in various ways, and I was even able to bounce and catch it........ while stepping forward.

It felt like an excellent p.t. type of accomplishment. Which lifted my spirits.

I am exhausted now but at least there's a good reason. 😊👍

You get out there and do things even when you're feeling tired, which is so freaking hard. I'm glad your determination lifts your spirits. It should. You're doing great. ☺️
 

Good morning, everyone...well, almost afternoon.. 11.55

Feeling a lot better today, pretty sure that is down to catching up on sleep. I nodded off twice yesterday afternoon and still managed a decent sleep last night. I actually slept until 6.45... that is a lie in to me! I'm usually awake much much earlier. Not complaining though. Hope I can do the same tonight as I've got a dental appointment tomorrow at midday. Only a checkup but I still hate going.

@Kaila, my best wishes to you and hope you can keep up with the exercises and that you can overcome the physical challenges too. 🤗

Going to watch Wimbledon now then later on will be going to my son's for evening meal and quizzes etc. I've not been for a couple of weeks as he's been away with work so am looking forward to it.
 
Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee:🌻

Another normally warm summer day is predicted here. 🌞😎

Husband is working a mid-shift, which means I'll get him back fairly early. :)

@Pam, glad you're feeling better. :) good vibes.jpg for your dental appointment, tomorrow. And enjoy your evening meal and quizzes with your son. :)

I have an exam and cleaning on Tuesday, and I feel the same as @Pam about it; I hate going. Even though my dentist and his staff are very nice, it's still the dentist.

Yesterday, I was feeling so yucky about life, the universe and everything that while I, grudgingly, did my positive affirmations after exercise, I did them with a bad attitude. 🤣 Positive affirmations with a bad attitude. How is that even a thing?

I'm with @CallMeKate; let's enjoy this Sunday! :cool:

Kaila, you are doing things right by taking things slowly .. great that you "exercised" with taking the therapy ball outdoors. That's motivation :)

Thank you so much!
Each step might seem small to someone ,😐
And I wish for gigantic leaps🙄

But the small steps are the ones I need to take.
Holding on to hope, that it can all add up, someday.
Having this thread does help me,too.
My gratitude for each one of you.

It's very hot here too.
Today and tomorrow have heat index warnings, due to combining the effects of temperature and humidity on people.

I might go outdoors for just a few minutes anyway.
I don't know yet.

Thanks for being here, today, everyone!

Sometimes life just feels crappy enough to do affirmations with a bad attitude.

It's been so hot outdoors here that we been hiding in the air conditioning. Get to go back into it tomorrow for work though. Boohoo!
 
Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee:🌻

I just typed, "and Friends," three, four? times. Couldn't get it to come out right. Please let that not be a foretelling of the day.

It's going to be hot today at 89F/32C, but we have a 50% chance of rain so, I'm hopeful for that. 🌧️

Husband is off today, which is always nice. And boyfriend is working, which isn't too bad because he's five hours ahead of me and usually home by around 2:00 pm, my time.

The bad news: I'm going to need a Sumatriptan (migraine med) this morning. Ugh. But, you know, at least I have something that works.

The good news: I woke up alive, the world is still here, and my people are safe and present. 🤗

Hope everyone woke feeling good this Monday morning.

Thank you very much, Kate!

And today was a good day for the extra encouragement. 🙄

I was struggling, this morning,
even before a package arrived, which was badly damaged in transit, yet left in the lobby by the carrier who himself, left very quickly. 🫣🤨😒

Therefore I had additional tasks for my day, and could not do any of the pre-planned important tasks, which had already been delayed for many days.

But oh well. I'm not strong enough to power through. Everything will have to wait.

Tomorrow I will not prioritize any of those tasks, over my p.t. and dh's labwork.
Despite their importance as well.

@Pam
I thought of you at your dental appointment. And I Hope that went as well as they can possibly go.
Which is not too awfully well.😐🙄😬

@Medusa
I'm very glad you added that the med worked, as I'd started to wonder. 💗

Thanks, it did go as well as possible. No new fillings etc. required, thank goodness. Just got the hospital appointment next month for the tooth that broke off beneath the gum line.. that is one appointment I'm really not looking forward to. Oh well, got to be done I guess.

Hope you have a better day, @Kaila 🤗

@Medusa, so pleased your migraine med worked. Migraines are horrible. I used to get them a lot until I went through the menopause and then they stopped! 🤷‍♀️
 
Good morning, ladies and gents! I tumbled outta bed at 3:45... and stumbled to the kitchen. Poured myself a cup of ambition but it hasn't taken hold yet. This lingering heat wave with the oppressive humidity is draining me worse than usual this time. I hope all Kaila & Friends gang members who are dealing with the same are keeping cool and comfortable... and remember fall's coming. (Sorry, I've never been a summer gal!) 🍁🍂
