Gentle posts for gentle folks

Good morning. πŸ₯°
Talking about weather, yes it's cold here overnight/early morning but then mid 50;s during the afternoon.
@Kaila may your dental visit go well. Good for you getting the work done.

@katlupe yes, your life has changed since you lost Rabbit. I'm hoping you will heal quickly.

@Pam, happy you got your new laptop. Since I'd previously had Windows 10, when I got this lappy it didn't seem a whole lot different.

''Minutia''...LOL, I love reading all of it! ❀️❀️❀️

In my quest to utilize my little crock pot, yesterday I threw in some ground beef, onions, celery and cut up potato, seasoned with rosemary. Not fabulous, but good enough.

@Kaila, I have salmon in the freezer but keep forgetting about it.

That frog wisdom and sock wishes,
is soooo funny!πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜πŸ˜…πŸ€­πŸ₯°

I too love everyone's minutia!β˜ΊοΈπŸ€©πŸ’—
 

Good morning everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

@Kaila you had a dental appt today I believe right? Hope you feel better soon. Sorry you've been kinda struggling. Maybe you need a couple days with no appointments and just to rest and recoup. Give it some thought friend.

Lots of love & πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•
You are right! I definitely need that And will try to fit it in! Soon!

Thank you so much for those carrots;
I will probably share some of them... but not sure i will, atm.πŸ˜πŸ˜„πŸ˜†

Today was way, way overdo and overload for me. Gosh. Helping husband, and managing my own appointment, today.
Barely managing, I'd say. 😳😱😫

But we did both get thru it.

I hope to do a lot less tomorrow and Thursday.
Friday will be my p.t. session for this week.
I look forward to that, even though it's challenging too, and despite my significant setback.

I'm still here, so I'm still plugging along.

Yes, Kate, it's nearly 1 year since we all began this thread. Together.

@Kaila and everyone else.......
Wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing day, full of πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•


Unfortunately, today is my stress day.....in preparation of tomorrow's mammogram. I will spend the whole day thinking and worrying about it. I hate mammograms more than anything else. 1761740468394.gif

I was thinking about setbacks and troubles mentioned here in our beloved thread this morning... and then this came up in my FB feed. (Can that thing read my mind?!) So I'm sharing.

Thank you for this, Kate!

I said something similar, that came to my mind, to my Physical therapist, a few weeks ago.

This backslide is part of going forward, right?

To which she replied....

Yes, This backslide is part of going forward.
 
Sometimes taking those rest days is also part of moving forward. Allowing your body time to rest and heal. From the sounds of it you guys need one sooner rather than later. Just a couple days of nothing. I hope you give yourself that soon. πŸ€—
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. πŸ€— :coffee: πŸŽƒ

I got some sleep last night and am feeling back on track today. :cool:

@Kaila, ah, would that I could. LOL --Levothyroxine needs to be taken 60 - 90 minutes away from food or drink and a lot of other meds. It's just easier to roll over, take the pill and, usually, go back to sleep. That way I can have coffee as soon as I wake. ;)

---Glad you got through a difficult day yesterday with your dental appointment and helping your husband. Enjoy the next couple days and rest, woman. ❀️

@RadishRose, I love your meme from yesterday! πŸ˜‚

@Trila, good thoughts and positive vibes for your mammogram today.

Wishing everyone on this lovely thread a peaceful Wednesday afternoon. Have an afternoon coffee.

I definitely took your words to heart, πŸ’—
and to mind πŸ€“
And am trying very hard to implement it.

Yesterday and today would add up to 2 rest days, right?πŸ€”πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜

I thought we would do next to nothing yesterday, but next to nothing turned out to be more than expected.

It was the best and easiest day, for us both to get our vaccines, (closest)
But the waits were much longer than I expected, (despite having appointments made weeks ago) and the chair was painful, etc.room over stimulating, etc,etc...

Now today , must be the most like a day off, that we can possibly have, while meeting the most basic of our needs.

I'm definitely streamlining and prioritizing.

Tomorrow, I plan to go to p.t.

I can't let it get totally squeezed out.
It's important, even though I am less able to do stuff there. 🫣🫀

I'm doing well with some things.
I got myself dressed today, and combed my hair. (Those are physically difficult, so they're Accomplishment s that are emotionally uplifting, plus I was cold in my p.j.s outsideof the blankets.😊 )

I Directed dh to the necessary prioritizing.

We're accomplishing our main goals.

I hope all of you are having a good day!!!

Happy Thursday everyone.
I keep getting my days mixed up



I’m sitting in the car waiting for my husband getting his prescription. Then we are going for a walk. We are a little late today but don’t have a strict schedule. Have a lovely day everyone.IMG_1210.jpeg

Today is going well, so far. Wet and rainy here, but very pretty. Lucius was a good boy on the first walk today. In truth, he's a good boy 97% of the time. 🐢 πŸ’™

@Kaila, okay girl, hoping today really is a day off and proves to be restful for you! ❀️ (Great though, that you got your vaccinations out of the way. -- Ugh, I know what you mean about over-stimulating rooms!)

---With my Fibro, I can sometimes become exhausted and overwhelmed and I get how the little things can become big things. Which is to say, good for you for taking care of yourself, even when it's hard.

@RadishRose, that pizza looks amaze! I'd pick the meat off, but otherwise it looks delicious! Now I want some thick, cheesy pizza!

@Trila, hoping your appointment went well yesterday. Now you don't have to think about it for a whole year! Phew.

Hi Everyone, πŸ₯° πŸ₯° πŸ₯°
It;s a rainy gloomy day here. Playing w/ the crock pot again. This time it;s boneless pork chops, a few Brussels sprouts and onion/sage/celery bread stuffing on top. Fingers crossed.

Happy Day to Kaila and all.πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•

How can a pork chop be boneless, RR, do tell? 😊πŸ₯°
After all, it's a chop. πŸ™ƒπŸ˜„πŸ˜πŸ˜‰

It's nice that you are bravely experimenting with your new crockpot.🀩

Is that spooky pizza?β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ€­πŸ€—

Lucius is a good boy 97% of the time?πŸ€”β˜ΊοΈ

Sometime IF you feel like it,
You could tell us what he does 3%of the time πŸ˜…πŸ˜
And you know we'd still love him. 🐢

And you!πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŠπŸ₯°πŸ₯°

My sweet Lucius has his moments. He's overly excited to meet people and sometimes jumps. We're working on that. It's our failing, not his. And he has pica so he sometimes eats things he shouldn't, before we can get him to "drop it." :rolleyes:

Otherwise, really, he's a perfect boy. He's so sweet, affectionate and loving. He's my teddy bear dog and we have hug sessions in the mornings. πŸ€—πŸΆ

Honestly, I shouldn't have named him, "Lucius." It's a cool name, but "Scooby" would have suited him better. My silly, lovable clown. Aw, I'm getting weepy. lol I love my puppy.

Thanks, @Kaila ❀️ I love you guys too.


I'm sure that none of us mind, Patty. πŸ₯°
Agreed. πŸ₯°
