Dragonwolf Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Oh, P.S. - for the osteoarthritis, if you're not familiar with it already, Hyaluronic Acid supplementation works wonders for helping it repair and reducing pain (helps for almost any "wear and tear" type joint issues).

RhiaWolfe Posted October 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I feel like a bad rat mom. I had to take my little Merlin rat to the vet to get neutered. When I brought him home he was so miserable and I felt so bad for him. I'm so empathetic! Poor baby... if he just wouldn't keep biting people... He seemed to be doing a little better this morning though when I gave him his medicine. 3 Quote Heroine of Time Height: 5'8 Weight: 261 lbs Current Challenge: RhiaWolfe Returns (Zelda Memes Wanted) Previous Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 "Reach for the stars!

RhiaWolfe Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Merlin is doing much better today! It makes me happy to see him happier and feeling better! Yay! I've been giving him extra treats to assuage my guilt. lol. I'm really eager to start Nerd Fitness Coaching... I signed up a week ago, but there's a waiting list. I'm hoping I get a coach soon! I hope it will help. So, I'm considering starting to type in my little journal BEFORE I eat the thing instead of after.

RhiaWolfe Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yesterday was rough. I didn't track all day, so this morning I tried to go back and remember what I ate. I did not do well. I found out on Wednesday night that my sister's girlfriend (who was pregnant) lost the baby. Not only that, but she lost the baby because she has cancer. I was so worried about the two of them that I didn't sleep well and the next day I just didn't care about anything. I wasn't productive, I woke up late, just had no desire to do anything. Today I'm feeling much better. After having dinner with my dad, I went home, got a shower, fed the rats and went to bed. I got more sleep and am feeling more awake today and ready to take care of things. I hope I continue to feel better. I at least was able to make my breakfast this morning, so that's a good start. EDIT: Forgot to add on Wednesday I had leftover spaghetti, salad, and garlic knots for dinner. 3 Quote Heroine of Time Height: 5'8 Weight: 261 lbs Current Challenge: RhiaWolfe Returns (Zelda Memes Wanted) Previous Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 "Reach for the stars!

It's difficult. I'm really worried about my sister's mental stability. A couple of years ago she fostered a couple of children to adopt them... and she ended up losing the kids. She still hasn't fully recovered from that. On top of all that, my abusive mother has been rather cruel to my sister recently about the whole thing. *sighs* Wish there was something I could do. She doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. 5 minutes ago, Sylvaa said: Oof, that does sound really rough! I'm sorry that you and your family are dealing with that. Yeah... it's not easy.

RhiaWolfe Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Rough weekend. I wanted to take this weekend for ME. I wanted some downtime. So I specifically planned nothing so I could focus on self-care. Well, that backfired. The entire time I felt like a slug. I felt useless and I had NO energy to do anything. I lay on the couch all day and watched Netflix and Youtube. That's what I did all weekend. I feel closed in in my house. I hate that house. It's always dark. Not enough sunlight gets in. It's filthy and I haven't had the energy to clean. I took naps both days. I never take naps. I just felt horrible. I went and got my hair cut and dyed, and then did a load of laundry. Those are the only productive things I did. I made my breakfast this morning instead of eating junk... I think I'm feeling a little better because of that. I didn't sleep well at all last night. I'm tired, but not as tired as I should be. I think the nap yesterday helped. Drinking my tea this morning though. 2 Quote Heroine of Time Height: 5'8 Weight: 261 lbs Current Challenge: RhiaWolfe Returns (Zelda Memes Wanted) Previous Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 "Reach for the stars!

My husband is much more stuff-oriented than I am and it can get super overwhelming even when you WANT to clean. I know it's not helpful now, but something we do is I have my "space" (okay, technically I have two spaces; my desk and a relaxing chair). These areas are mine and my husband's clutter is not to invade these bubbles. This way, when I feel overwhelmed, I still have an area I can use as an escape. I know it's probably not helpful, but don't beat yourself up over sacrificing cleaning to self care. Yeah they are both important, but you needed to pick one and you did. Maybe it wasn't as helpful as you would have liked, but you did what seemed like the best option. 1 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment
