Activating myself

[Blueberry]

Too hot to do anything vaguely therapeutic though.

Yep. It's a good day to be extra kind to ourselves isn't it? 🫠

I suppose it was, yes. The weather is heating up again, too. Thursday and Friday getting steadily hotter this week, so more days to be kind to myself, and you to yourself too.

I haven't been (actively) activating myself the past few days, it's just happened automatically due to trauma processing.

blueberry, so very happy for that activation you've been enjoying!  i've been able to begin activating myself again after a stint of awfulness, but you've brought this concept to my mind, and i'm ever so grateful for it.  thanks.  love and hugs

I haven't been (actively) activating myself the past few days, it's just happened automatically due to trauma processing. 

"Happening automatically" disappeared for some reason, as it tends to. Monday this week I said to myself: "Right, this week I'm getting back on track and am going to do one thing a day that has been waiting to be done", which was mostly written stuff. Woke up sick on Tuesday, didn't even make it to therapy. This is Thursday evening, and I've finally got on with one thing, finishing a questionnaire, oh, and sending an email that wasn't connected to the questionnaire.

I'm sorry you were sick, BB.  Even if it's not automatic, it sounds like good progress on starting to get a couple things done anyway.

I hope you're feeling better now, BB. I guess so if you are able to get on with a few things.

blueberry, i've been thinking of you this past week, a bit worried cuz you haven't been here.(i was actually going to message you yesterday, then saw you posted here.)  so sorry you've been sick, and so glad you're feeling better and well done! for getting a few things out of the way.  hopefully you're on an uphill slide now for at least a bit if not longer.  love and hugs, my dear blueberry

Being sick is a real setback, Blueberry. Everyone regresses when sick. Take care of yourself!!

[Blueberry]

Thank you Hannah1, that's a good reminder!

Hi Blueberry,
I am sorry to hear you were ill earlier in the week/last week and sending you a hug 

[Blueberry]

Thank you Hope

Finally a bit activated today. I've done a load of laundry, need to go down into the basement and hang it outside. Also set the dishwasher in motion, it's finished and emptied. Dishwasher partially full again, there were a lot of dishes waiting around to be washed.

Also some gardening early-early. Watering for LL, but also dead-heading roses. The ones that aren't really over but LL wants them off I collect separately and bring them into my apartment and keep them in a bowl for a couple of days. They look nice.

I had planned more things, but then I started reading the gardening threads here on the forum and got distracted. Lots of the posts were my own old ones. It did do me good to read all those old posts though. But now I really need to check the weather forecast, hang the clean laundry outside and maybe put a second load of laundry on.

that's quite a lot of activation, blueberry.  well done!  i hope you get to finish what you've begun today.  love and hugs

I love laundry hung outside!
