All is quiet on the homefront. When I’m not floating at the pool, I am checking items off my to do list. The depression is letting up right now and I’m able to get some things done. I finished my LOA course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tomorrow my plans are:

1. Wash/vacuum my car.
2. Finish cleaning the kitchen.
3. Clean the dining room.
4. Float in the pool.
5. Grocery Shop.
6. Prep for a busy week ahead.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful Sunday.

So I am home again. I am tired after the travel (ca 10 hours). It is very hot here. Hot weather often gives me depression. One of my family-members has become sick. I have not decided if I am to visit today or to morrow. I need to visit the grocery store today. It is too hot to take my daily walk, so except the trip to the grocery shop and perhaps the visit to the sick one, I will stay inside with the curtains down (to keep the heat out). I will try to unpack ...

I had planned to have one week of vacation in my hometown after homecoming, but that has to wait until the worst heat has gone.

May you all be well and hopefully enjoy your weekend!
I’m so pleased you had a satisfactory vacation and safe travel home.

I'm feeling much better today. I've done two art projects so far. One I had started on yesterday. I have pretty good energy. I plan to clean litter boxes, open packages and pick up in the living room. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

Not feeling much emotionally today. I'm just tired. I plan to clean litter boxes and do some light housework. Nothing major. I need sleep. Hopefully I can get 4 hours today. Hope everyone is doing well!

I was very low energy today mentally and physically. I ended up resting most of the day. I didn’t even go float in this beautiful weather. I’ll try to finish the kitchen tonight at least. I started taking a Byron Katie course today and I had a session with my life coach so there is that.

Tomorrow my plans are:

1. Participate in water aerobics
2. Wash/Vacuum my car
3. Sell some books
4. Make prayer beads at church
5. Float if weather cooperates

Warm wishes to all.

I still need to catch up on sleep. Maybe later this morning. So far I have taken out the trash and done light housework. I still have litter boxes to do, laundry and dishes. Hope everyone is doing well!

I accomplished making prayer beads and doing some inner work with the Byron Katie course. The beads are beautiful! I’m pleased. It rained all day so no floating. Tomorrow plans:

1. Water aerobics
2. Errands
3. Clean 2 rooms
4. Sell books
5. Inner work with Byron Katie

I hope everyone has a peaceful Wednesday.

I wasn't able to do anything on my list. The heat became too much for me. I feel sad ... The weather is better today. I know I need to take care of myself one way or other to not sink into depression. I think I will start with going through my notes (all the good advices I have written down during the years), may be Autogenic Training after that and take it from there.

Be well all!

I ordered groceries today. I also did work with my art and cleaned litter boxes. I wanted to do more housework but the day got away from me. Tonight I will rest and try to go to bed early. Hope everyone has a good day today!

Today I relaxed and enjoyed some quiet time doing inner work. That means I’ll need to double up tomorrow. My prayer beads turned out lovely. I’m pleased. I have done one thing today besides straightening the house.

I made a short ASMR video for my loved ones for times of stress. There was a crepe myrtyle in the background with pot of flowers with the sights and sounds of soothing rain and thunder and lightening. It turned out well.

I will enjoy the remainder of the night of the night and plan tomorrow.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful Thursday.

Today has been nice. I spent a lot of time programming this morning. It was fun. I have a php app that I use for multiple purposes and it had stopped working. So I just got it going again. I also washed dishes, cleaned litter boxes and picked up around the house. Later I plan to work on my art and finish a class on blogging. Hope all of you are well today!

I have relaxed again today. I’ve not even done any inner work. I think I will work on my vision board and do my monthly review for July and my hopes for August.

My plans for tomorrow:

1. Float if not raining
2. Run errands
3. Finish the kitchen
4. Continue my Byron Katie course
5. Attend water aerobics

Warm wishes to all.

I repeated depression-knowledge notes before I went to bed yesterday. I did jump out of bed when I woke up, had my breakfast, had to go to bed again - but put the alarm on 15 minutes and went out of bed again. Feeling so tired I understood that I was not able to go on in "quick mode". So I am reading about depression and daily structure. That slowly motivates me because 'daily structure' is the one topic I believe most in with regard to depression recovery together with healthy food, physical activity and something meaningful to do alone or with others. The heat some days ago took me down and it seem to be so that I cannot just jump back to my routines, but have to do it one step at a time.

My plan is to take it slow and use every break I take to repeat about how helpful routines are to depression.

See you all later. Be well!

Having a tough morning. Just moving really slow. I slept late. Today I hope to take out the trash, clean litter boxes and finish a class on blogging. I think that's all I can handle. If I have time, I will work on art. Warm wishes to everyone!

I managed to take out the trash, clean all the litter boxes, take care of myself and do a little around the house. I feel pretty good about that. Now I will relax. Oh! I think I will reward myself. I'm going to get some watercolor pens. A set of 98. That will keep me busy for a while.
