For me
 

I took a break from life yesterday. I only talked to mom. I watched old movies from the 30's and 40's all day and till 2:00 am. It was lovely.

I just took a long hot shower.

I am going to trim my hair just a skosh, then give myself a nice manicure and polish my fingernails.

After that, I plan to read an John Grisham book, then make a simple supper of meat balls and an baked potato. Marinara sauce for the meatballs, and butter Sal and pepper for the baked potato. Hot cocoa for dessert.

Resting.

Drinking coffee.

Eating properly,means a good home cooked meal.

Watching horror flicks..too funny.

Yesterday I was going to give myself a manicure and polish my finger mails and toe nails; but I'm doing it today because it's windy and the extra circulation of air flow from outside is drying my nails nicely! :balloon:

I've kept my temper in check....

Neighbors on my end of the universe were having behavioral issues last night, which woke me up at 3 am.... I tried cat napping earlier, but no go. So far, although still irritated, I've not blown any gaskets. :giggle: :| :eyebat:

nails lol..............

Thankfully we had sunshine today, which made it possible for me to go on two errands: get copies of documents copied, and to drop by the grocery store to get a few groceries.

Right now though, I just took my evening dose of meds and I'm snuggled up in my bed with a heating pad and warm quilts, listening to an album of music by Tömasz Stańko, an Polish Trumpeteer and his orchestra.... very pretty recording titled:

Lontano: 1, 2 & 3

Took half a day off from work

Sat and just enjoyed time posting here in the threads!~

Me
 

I bought myself new slippers and new cargo pants. Now enjoying cocktail time.

🍸🍹

I painted and worked on other creative pursuits.

Now why on earth did you buy yourself new slippers with Christmas right around the corner? Santa might have to make alternative plans and I heard he no likey that!

Put on a warm hat, wore sensible shoes and season appropriate clothing. I'm not sure why this is so difficult for me to do, but today I did it for me. For all the right reasons and not just because someone was ordering/insisting/demanding.

Well, it seems to hurt folks feelings when they see duct tape on my slippers so I bought new ones. Been there done that!

...........:rofl:..........

I spent time here today by reading and posting, but I need to get on with my day. I've got laundry to wash and dry and try to find a AAA battery that is misplaced somewhere in the house. I need it for my wrist blood pressure cuff.

I hope to give myself a manicure too. I need to file my nails and do an oil treatment on my nails....to keep my hands and nails in good condition.

If duct tape could cook I'd marry it. And I could even post our wedding invitations here :duct:

Better .... :hk28:

(thanks to my Nursing & PT team)

For me
 

I didn't stress out about time.

And I rented the sports car!

:thumbsup:

I am enjoying a much needed drink.

I left work an hour early today.

:bow:

Taking my time getting up to start my day. This is one of the best things I do for myself on most days.

I got a haircut and I always feel good afterwards. :)

Gave myself permission to not worry about how the apartment looks, just let it be and give myself a day or two to relax before launching full force back into cleaning mode.

I was going to go out with a friend to watch a movie and then go grocery shopping, but my friend couldn't come over, so instead, I decided to work on clearing out a couple of closets and donate books, clothes and other things to an local women's shelter. So far, I have three boxes of "goodies" that I can donate to women in need.

I took myself a nap on my new "coma chair"

I allowed myself to come home and immediately get into some yoga pants and a tank top. Then I poured some hot tea and lounged with Bella for over an hour doing absolutely nothing. Decadence!

For me
 

I took the day off from life. Stayed in and watched funny "B" horror movies like Lake Placid. I also made sweet and sour sauce from scatch. Funny that I had all the ingredients on hand.

Me day, yay!

Gave myself permission to sleep as long as I wanted/needed to. Gently reminded myself I have a lot recover from today.

For me
 

I gave myself a treat today. I ate a yummy bowl of ice cream this afternoon. A perk of working from home.

:cowboy:

I got a haircut and let me tell you I feel so much better. I tried something different for a year but went back to my old faithful and I am glad I did.

I found a way to donate some foods I can't have anymore and gave it to an neighbor who is in tight circumstances right now. I also gave myself an pedicure today, and treated myself to an nap this afternoon. :rrose:

I slept in late today.....then I lugged the vacuum around the house (thank heavens it is ultra light in weight)…. then I gave myself a much needed manicure and pedicure treatment. No nail polish involved because I'm giving my natural nails a break from that stuff. I concentrated on applying healthy oils to my feet and hands and applied some ointment to a sore cuticle on a couple of fingers on my left hand.

Oh, and I also gave my hair a special conditioning treatment, after I applied some clear gloss to my almost color-free locks. I plan to never color treat my hair again and just leave my hair in it's natural state (mostly salty silver, not much pepper left).

:bow:

I've been taking the train to work, due to relentless gridlock traffic, but today I drove in to work. This evening, I took all the back roads home and drove as slowly as possible, just savoring all the new things I've not really seen while driving. Basically, I'm changing up my daily routines so it's not so routine.

Hoorah for simple changes in daily life. It's been a life saver, lately.

I ignored the housework and took a nap. Seems napping is what I do since I’ve been sick. It’s a waste of time but I allow it because I just hope it’ll help me
Get better sooner
