Been dealing with an infected tooth on my upper right side of mouth, got it cleared up; had root canal yesterday afternoon which lasted 1.5 hours cleaning out infection that started again plus doing the root canal; got home and passed out for 2.5 hours & today it feels like someone punched me on the right side of my face7 -

Good morning Shape Shifters. As usual, I started my morning with a walk. It was really quiet outside. I felt like walking a bit longer, so I took a new path. I had an inkling of where it would go and it was a nice extra little loop. It added around 12 minutes to my walk. Everything looks so drab and brown outside though. It is great for walking, but not for pictures. I am not looking forward to warmer and sunny weather, but prettier nature is very welcome. When I got home I did some cleaning in the garden. My 'no mess' bird food started sprouting and there was a layer of mushed up left over bird food on the ground. It was gross. I dug that all out, cleaned the water bowl, raked some leaves and put out new bird food. In the afternoon I did my gym rings. It went well and I was less sore than the second time so that's good. Tinus wanted lots of walks so we had some nice times outside. In the evening a couple came to look over the cat tree. They were nice and ended up buying it, so I made another 65 euros back. With the other cat tree and toys I sold, I can pay for Tinus' medication for two months, so that's pretty good!Happy Wednesday everyone
walk, good sleep, food & protein, garden work, gym rings, sold cat tree

My weight was not very cooperative this week. I gained on 4 days despite eating well and in a deficit. I am still happy with the loss though and it is nice to be a little firmer into onderland. I have only had 1 high food day so far this month which is pretty impressive! I know I am doing everything right, so I will keep going.6 -

I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon yesterday for my broken ring finger. It is looking good and ready for more intense physio therapy. He was pretty confident that I'll be able to regain movement in my finger. The physio therapy department seemed a little less optimistic. They thought my finger was so interesting and complicated that they wanted to film my hand so they can use it for teaching and an extreme example of a "stuck" finger following trauma and surgery =(
When I was there yesterday I could not move my finger at all with my muscles, today after all the physio yesterday and today I can get a little wiggle. This is a pretty exciting wiggle, hopefully I can turn it into a full on finger bend soon. It's a little weird to function with my ring finger stuck in a mostly straightly slightly bent position.7 -

Wednesday ~ Feb 21
Good morning Shape Shifters. Another day, another walk! I enjoyed myself again. I got groceries when I got home and did a lot of reading. I got two packages delivered later in the day. A new pair of barefoot shoes for summer with a thick sole. The pair I got was on sale so I got them pretty cheap. My heel is still sore and there is no way I can wear the vapor gloves in spring/summer because the sole of that pair is really thin. I hope this new pair will work well. I will try them on a walk soon. The other package had a cute pastel rainbow hat, a scarf, two storage boxes and a door mirror. I absolutely hate mirrors and all my clothes are based around comfort. Whenever I put on some of my nicer stuff, I just feel fat and ugly and I have no idea how it actually looks because I only have a mirror high up in the bathroom over the sink. I also want to go through all my clothes again to get rid of some more things, so I figured a door mirror would be handy to have. Maybe I will find out I actually don't look as bad as I think, or maybe it will be worse, lol. I guess we will see!Happy Thursday everyone walk, good sleep, fun packages overate a bit in the evening

The daily card:Whether you believe in the symbolism of dreams or not, they are worth listening to. You will feel more in tune with your subconscious if you take time to understand them. Keep a dream diary. When you wake, if you remember your dream, describe it. See if it reflects things happening in your life. The act of writing it down will help you to learn something about yourself. At the very least, it shows the creativity of your subconscious.

Hard disagree with the card today.
As someone who remembers at least 5 dreams every single night, I can say with confidence that 90% of them are absolute random garbage. Also, if I were to write down everything, it would seriously disrupt my sleep. I don't exactly feel the need to write about nightmares either since that will just give them more power and cement them in my brain. So big pass from me! 3 -

@CasandraW, @LaurieWrobo, @Armygirlarmyof1, and other Shape Shifters who are recovering from injuries, I hope you all continue to heal ❤️🩹. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Overall, our team seems to be doing well. Great step numbers, @FWSWCindy! I’m sure you’re racking up the steps with all those nature walks, too, @Pupowl. I finally bought a new Garmin watch to track some fitness goals, but I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. I thought about getting an Apple Watch but the endorsement of the Garmin watch from our team members convinced me to compare the features. I’ve been very happy with the battery life and I’ve been gradually learning more about the features this week. I’m hoping to start tracking and increasing my steps in March or April.
I’m too lazy to scroll back through the previous pages but I’ve been following along about our many team steps, music and movie recommendations, and photos. Thanks for keeping the chat lively and interesting.
I had never heard of ‘yacht rock’ or ‘country lifting’ stations so the niche names made me smile 😊, @LaurieWrobo. I’ll have to check them out and see if the songs I have playing in mind are accurate 🧐. I don’t know much about Elliot Cass from the Mamas and the Papas but she grew up in my neighborhood and went to high school about four short blocks from my house. She often returned to the area to perform. I appreciate the movie recommendation and look forward to the sound track @MrsSavageMoose.
It was a high school when she was a student there (& Jim Morrison from The Doors also studied there), but now it’s a middle school where I used to teach. I taught there for about three years before leaving to attend graduate school, but my sons attended middle school there about 10 years later. I think it is too big for middle school, with about 1,000 students, but the students are divided into two schools within one building to make it more manageable. Still, that’s a lot of hormones and emotions to regulate!
Best wishes for the coming week! As my new watch tells me each morning: Beat yesterday!4 -

Hey team! I’m happy to say that yesterday at the gym, I ran/jogged for a few minutes. I’ve been staying away from the treadmill, but decided to give it a try. It was the first time in a long time.
I’m going to try a bit every gyn session, until I can start running again this spring.
I’m so excited!!!7 -
