In the manner that great minds think alike....
Cathy suggested last night that we each start setting for ourselves
Some small goal for the day.....
I had thought this might be something good for us to share when she started the spa post.....but have been in the yuck n mire too

BUT....doable...

Is too wash n groom my sweet baby-boy mini-yorkie.."Dude"

I brushed out my little guy...did a first layer of grooming....
...nd ....reliaized the things that make typing difficult might also mean I shouldn't ne using scissors on my best bud right now.:-)
The bathroom is warmed up for his bath.
Now....I KNOW, because how different parts of me are feeling...
That bathing him this evening is going to worsen the flare developing.
I want to finish, because it was my only silly little goal for the day.
I know I should not.
Damn it. How can giving a four lb dog a bath cause so much pain?
IDK...how can washing our own hair do it?
I'm friggin' crying AGAIN...and so mad at myself for it.
I guess I'll go for a lesser goal.
I'll spend more time "up" with
DH this evening......meaning om the couch instead of on bed.
I'm sorry you guys for keeping feeling sorry for myself...
Hope everyone's having greater success with their goal today...
Hugs...jc
Be so Whiney....I'm sorry....hugs...jc
I did get my son to the dr.! Everything still looks good.
Barely got him there!
My kids are eating soup tonight:(
Who else got their goal done?
I'm sooo glad you got him there...you would have been so bummed if you didn't.....
Hugs...jc..
I was so down....When I do reach out for help no one is ever able:(
But, I managed
i put on real pants to go get the ginger ale my mother dropped off.
count every little move b/c your body sure does. please don't be hard on yourself.
we do what we can when we can. little dude will be ok! xoxo
Dixie...it sucks that you can't get help when you need it.....and we do
do for our kids what we could not otherwise do....haven't you heard..."soup is good food" haha
Serenity...so..you got clothes on...that was a goal...yeeeahh...you still did that after doing stuff not on your list!!!
I put my belly ring back in!!!! Is that goal-related? Nope...but it cheered me up a scosh....I'm barely, if, gaining weight...but my skin is shrinking down to my new weight finally.....maybe instead of a weight-gainig goal...I should've had a skin - shrinking one...
Sorry...tryin' to cheer myself up to be up n about with DH when he gets home.
How're the rest of todsys goals going?
Hugs...jc
Supposedly hubby is finally returning to work, I can only pray, I could use a little break. He finally came out of the bedroom a little while ago & started getting snippy & nasty because I did not manage to get to any of the dishes or laundry yet. Oh well, tomorrow is another day & unless the little cleaning fairy hitches a ride w/the tooth fairy tonight I have a very good feeling that everything will still be waiting for me in the am....Till tomorrow
My goal was to call 2 docs to make 2 appointments. I left a message for them but they did not cb. I'll have to follow up tomorrow.
Good News is I accomplished something today! I finished my monthly reports for work!!! That is major for me as I usually drag it out for a week! I also called back my primary doc to get a third antibiotic scrip for my never ending sinus infection. AND I washed my floors!!
Hooray! What a day! I was lucky that this was a low pain day for me and I have decided that I best put these kind of days to good use.
But about the goals I did 1/2... I got he shower and hair washed but my daughter called and wanted to go for groceries. This usually ticks me off at the last minute but Ineeded a couple things too so I went. Does walking around the grocery store count as a walk? It usually leaves me in alot of pain but yesterday was good and I came out of it ok. Better luck today.
