Got a fair amount done yesterday, but didn’t paint. Hubby was installing a new ceiling fan in the bedroom and it took much longer than anticipated. I went to the grocery then came home and helped him a bit. I got food for the next few days, it’s been a while since I’ve done the cooking. I hope I remember how, lol. Today of hood surgery. I always find the waiting to be the worst. Right now he’s getting prepped and I’ll go back in a few to wait with him.
Prayers would be appreciated.

Focus on one small area and make one good choice. It’s not much, but it’s a win. Wish I could give you a big ole hug or sit and have a cup of coffee and chat. Sounds like you could use a friend. You can always if you need to chat. - Nikki

Got all of the homecoming stuff done yesterday. The pictures were so so, but with the weather we did our best.
Didn’t paint yesterday, but I did finally start today after church. Not much else planned.
Have a great Sunday y’all!
Homecoming picture from Saturday:
Finally worked on my painting. I worked in the garage and my cat sat on my lap for the majority of the time, making the painting more difficult, but the snuggles were nice. We don't get much snuggle time as she can't come in the house often because Tim and Sierra are allergic to her. That and she tortures the dog. She really is sweet to me though. Pooh Bear still requires a little work (he's too bright), and the stuff at the bottom is just weight as I glued the baby's name at the bottom and wanted it to adhere well. Trying to decide if I put a quote at the top. "How do you spell love? - Piglet; You don't spell it you feel it - Pooh". Or just leave it
Other than church and painting yesterday, little got accomplished other than a nice dreary afternoon nap.
Today's agenda is equally light, had to come in early for a 6:15 meeting, then there is an audit at 8:30 - 10:00, after that just a few meetings, then home. Hubby left early this morning to go buy a new ceiling fan for the bedroom, ours died yesterday. He's having shoulder surgery tomorrow, so it's now or 3 months from now. He is very anxious about his surgery, it's a complete reverse shoulder replacement. They saw off the ball of the humerus, then attach the socket there and install a ball where the socket used to be. The studies show it works well, but you will have a limited range of motion.

Yikes. Sounds like a extensive procedure for your husband. I hope all goes well for him! Xx
Love your daughter's homecoming photo!
Also love the Pooh painting. I get what you mean now by the "old style Pooh and Piglet". I remembered as soon as I saw it. I'd forgotten because of how he's drawn now in my kids books.

I second this! Here if you need to chat. Or even just vent!
I understand the feeling you have though, I have felt like that lots of times before.
You will get there! You might even have a few more bad days but that's okay
It's okay to have bad days. I know it doesn't feel great but it will change, and maybe in a way you least expect.

Well I did my COVID test and it was positive. Makes sense. Glad the headache/migraine was just for the one day.
In general I feel okay. Last time I had it was way worse, and I'm still unvaccinated, so atleast my immune system is doing its job.
Although I don't have much appetite. I do quite well through the day. But by the time I've got the kids home from school, dinner is a struggle. I'mmanaged to make a cottage pie the other day but when it came to mashing the potatoes I just did not have the strength. Ash then showered all the kids so I didn't have to. Which was a HUGE help because it's the one thing I don't particularly like doing anyway. They take ages sometimes and I always end up wet and I hate getting wet LOL.
Gutted I didnt get off my butt and clean up before I got COVID because now I've got no chance. And it's frustrating cause I want to clean up (well kind of) but I know if I do it's going to deplete me of too much energy.
But in my eyes, I'm still getting the kids to school and after-school clubs, still getting all their homework done and I'm happy with that
Just need to keep resting, I'm now into my 4th day of the virus so hopefully should be back to my normal self by next week.
@pridesabtch only just realised I was a bit late with wishing your family well with your husbands operation! I hope it's gone well and that he recovers quickly!2 -
Tim’s surgery went well. He’s home, but in a fair amount of pain. Thanks y’all for the well wishes & prayers.3

@emgracewrites I agree with Nikki! Maybe pick one thing. Just one small thing that you feel is doable and make that your goal. It could be just logging breakfast, making a grocery list, washing dishes, finding one job you want to apply for... I remember feeling much like this and I still have days/weeks/months where I feel this way.
When I feel like nothing is going right or like I can't seem to make any progress, I make a list of goals. Then I break those goals down into baby steps I need to take to complete the goal on a piece of paper or in a notebook. Each baby step I complete, I check off. It gives me a visual that I AM actually making progress even when I don't feel like I am. Just make your next best decision...and keep making the next best decision...over and over. Small steps win the race! (((HUGS)))

@Bex953172 I hope you feel better soon, Bex! It's hard to take care of a family when you feel good, let alone when you've got COVID or any other illness. Take care of you! (((HUGS)))
@pridesabtch I'm glad to hear your husband's surgery went well. Now to rest and heal... Your daughter's homecoming picture is so pretty! Beautiful young lady! Your painting is cute too. I can't even make a stick man without it being crooked...1 -

Curious which state you live in that you are near a beach...are you near the ocean or one of the gulfs? Or are you near one of the Great Lakes maybe? I feel this inner pang whenever I read that you walked at the beach...that would be my dream place to live.2 -

Today went marginally better than yesterday. Stress took away my appetite completely so I had to force myself to eat, but at least I ate.
Anxiety is super high because on top of work stress I found out I tested positive for SIBO. I have to take two different antibiotics that should relieve the GI symptoms, but still unsure what caused the SIBO in the first place, so more medical follow up testing is in my future.
I don’t know how much more stress I can handle right now. And all this is happening during the busiest time of my life at work.

Have a happy Tuesday y’all!
Tim is doing better this morning. He’s fairly drugged to, but feeling better than yesterday. He ate a real breakfast this morning & is going to try to get some more rest. Waking up every 4 hours and having to eat and take meds messes with your sleep. I may try to go back to sleep as well.
Weighed in this morning and finally hit the 140’s. That’s 51.2 pounds down for the year. It may be a false low as I was stressed and didn’t eat much yesterday, but I’ll take it.
Just playing nursemaid today, cleaning, cooking & hopefully finishing the Pooh best.
Have a great Wednesday y’all!
Love ya - Nikki

@emgracewrites
We all have our off days, and having somewhere to vent is always helpful. No judgement, just a sympathetic ear or two. Lol
@PackerFanInGB
👍🏻 Every day is a brand new day 😝
And I’m grateful for every single one of them! 👌🏻I had a relaxing summer break,
September: I chose to shifted it up a gear, as my groups restarted. I am volunteer leader for 4 groups this semester. (2 are monthly, so not so time consuming. I also belong to several other groups.)
I prefer a semblance of structure in my life, and doing what I like brings much contentment. These are my groups: 💎 leader
Creative Writing💎
Monday Painters💎
Latin Study Group💎
Garden Group
Shakespeare Study Group
Fun with Flowers 💎

Oh! Alas, in this case "it" refers to losing weight. The rest of it is a breeze in comparison!2 -
Tim did pretty well today. We are both really tired from having to be up every 4 hours to get food and meds. My eating has been next to nonexistent. I did eat dinner last night so that is good. I made a London Broil for the first time. It turned out pretty good. Taking the leftovers to make stew for dinner this evening. Other than that, V has a doc appointment this afternoon to see if we can get her an actual diagnosis for her tic disorder. It could mean she get to take tests in a private area, which would help with her anxiety over experiencing a tick in the middle of the SATs. Other than that it's more care taking and going to mom's like every other Thursday. Working from home first half of the day does make it easier.
