group support for self-care???

Hi Grace, I did a little yoga, but I am supposed to be going to physical therapy so I have got to get those appointments in place. Last time I did yoga, I hurt my back very badly & was out of commission for quite a time.

Hoping the yoga will help me sleep tonight.

Also trying to drink lots of water.

So I'd never heard of a French pedicure but read about it and decided that's what I am going to get once it gets to sandal season. Have to grow the toenails a bit....

Hi there!
Keep taking care of YOU. Place the TLC and GAL in action!

Hope you're doing well.

Keep us posted,

I have to recommend getting the hair done. I did yesterday and it really made me feel invincible for awhile. It was just a nice way of focusing on myself for a little bit.

I've signed up for physical therapy and am implementing the things I am supposed to be doing for pain management. Forgot to pick up prescription, but I can still do that later.

I am going to sign up for flylady--things that help with cleaning are good for me right now.

Also, I am cleaning a lot and I do not know if H noticed. H used to complain I don't clean enough--I clean a lot now and guess what--I do not mind it!

H was very critical and demanding with cleaning, and disrespectful about it.

breton - it is great that you are becoming gentler and more caring to yourself. life is good without pain.

flylady helped me a lot. one of the main learnings - not to be a perfectionist - " housework done incorrectly is still a blessing to the house".

i will go running this afternoon. usually on sundays i drive to the park to run but today i have other priorities and i will not have time for that - so i would just run in the neighborhood. I hope i will be done with everything (cleaning, taxes, etc) by 6pm when my girlfriend will pick me up to go to learn how to dance tango. excited about that.

I started physical therapy. I think it is going to help a lot.

This time I am determined to get through the entire course....

[Firekeeper]

breton, what stopped you from going through the entire course before?

[Firekeeper]

i drove four hours to see my friends in another state (and 4 back). it was worth it)))))))))))so much laughter, caring, hugs. good times.

FK, Well, sitch w/H blew up and I had no time to finish the course. They wanted me there weekly and I just couldn't do it.

This new place said to come back when I can; this is what I need.
