I didn’t post my JFT yesterday. I just needed a break from posting and checking in. Starting with Easter …. My daughter’s 2 closest friends stayed overnight Sunday night and didn’t go home until Monday late afternoon. My daughter was on spring break all of last week. My parents visited through most of spring break. My daughter’s BFF had parents out of town and stayed from Friday night through Sunday afternoon and their other friend stayed Saturday night as well. There was also another kids birthday party I took them all to on Saturday afternoon. I took all 3 of them to church on Sunday morning and then met up with a friend (once all the kids were home) for a book fair event. The past 10 days or so have been utter chaos. So I’m a bit crazed and trying to get everyone in this house back on a normal schedule this week. Hopefully, by mid-week we’ll be back to normal. This morning was ROUGH!
@jennysweet58 YES! They didn’t show up with one in their arms, except their own. However, they kept saying she needed a puppy and was so good with their puppy… then started showing her pictures of puppies and made arrangements to go pick one up to adopt. Ugh! We had to say no. Thankfully, my husband has more backbone than I do and the no came swiftly and firmly.

13. Therapy thoughts: Achieving fitness goals is especially difficult when snacking is apparently the only effective, inexpensive, convenient de-stresser and I'm stressed almost all the time. Progress: Work on reflecting on progress. Regressive behavior is now minimal. ASK about what's scary about the room. About what else in her life (now or previously) is/was like that. Normalize putting the blankets away EVERY MORNING. Then move to doing it FIRST, along with getting dressed. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."

Ever since things went south in February, I haven't been able to focus on my health. No excuse really, just not in the right mind set. I've gained back a fair amount of what I lost last fall, and now it's riding season again. Tonight is spin class, and I've done well so far with food, but I just don't trust myself to stay on track. I haven't posted actual health goals lately because I knew deep down that I wouldn't keep them. I think today I will try again. Just for today.

I can't believe how inconsiderate that was. A puppy is a huge commitment. One everybody needs to be on board and excited about. Of course every kid would love to have a puppy to play with, but they don't realize the amount of work it is. We are all on board with the puppy thing, but boy is it wearing us out!
Our puppy, Gia, is nicknamed "dragon" because we cannot get her to stop biting. She is also slow on the house training band wagon. Partially because we work, and even though we come home at lunch, 4 hours is a long time for a 3 month old bladder. The clean up is no joke. There are days she gets bathed 2-3 times because she pooped in the kennel and got into it, YUCK! Anyway, glad you guys stood your ground.

@teigansdad Your vacation sounds wonderful! I wouldn’t have counted calories at an All Inclusive either…the hike you want on sounds brutal! I love that Teigan named all the cats! LOL
@snowflake1968 That’s a great idea, actually. I’ve lived in this city for over 30 years and never made any actual friends that I hang out with. Perhaps I need to look into taking lessons and look at what kind of activities there are around here now that I’m not working. I used to not do things because they were scheduled during my work hours.
@jennysweet58 Thanks for the info regarding the pool you and your husband use. It’s encouraging to hear how much it has helped you. My husband and I have same type of issues. I have knees & ankle joint pain and neuropathy burning on the bottoms of my feet, and my husband has back issues. I haven’t called the Y yet because although I’m chatty on here, I’m rather shy about joining classes by myself and have anxiety about going out in public in a swim suit. Your kitchen adventures are about to begin in full swing it sounds like! It’s not fun living in chaos but SO worth it in the end. I’ll bet it’s going to be so pretty when it’s done!
@littleblackskirt I totally hear you regarding needing a routine now that you’ve stopped working. I have discovered since I retired that I am definitely ADHD and cannot function without a routine. I got SO MUCH MORE done with I was working than I have since retiring! It must be somewhat common I would think though…

So I had a headache all day yesterday that ibuprofen wouldn't touch. Went to teach spin and couldn't even spin easy. Every movement made me nauseous. I called class, but couldn't participate. Texted hubby, thinking he may have to come get me. But I sat in the car for about 30 minutes and that seemed to clear up the nausea and dizziness. I haven't had a full on migraine in a couple of years, but that was brutal. I made it home and pretty much took an Imetrex and crashed. Hubby brought home dinner, I ate, and then went to sleep. I didn't even stir when V got home. Nor did I wake up with the puppy at 4:00 like normal. I did get up at 6:30 for the pooch. Still a little off today, but mostly just still feel drugged. Very minimal headache.
Plan was to ride after work, but that's a no go. Instead, V wants me to touchup her roots. Hair dresser is not my calling, but I do it better than her friends, and she is too busy to squeeze in an actual appointment before she goes to NY on the 27th. Here is a picture of her as a "Silly Girl" from Beauty and the Beast, or as she refers to them "Expensive *kitten*". Her words not mine. She is the one on the right pouting over Gaston getting married. Not the greatest pic, but she and her friends still looks cute.
JFT Tuesday
- Feel better
- Drink water
- Do hair

Feeling you on the ADHD front, for me I can't think of anything else that could explain the way I am. But I'm too embarrassed to go to the Dr incase they laugh me out of the door. I'd like to be wrong, I'd like to NOT have it. But then that just means I'm a f*©king awkward person in general 😂😂😂3 -
