Suntanning. I can sit in the sun and pretend I'm Simba for ages.

Recovery thank you so very much for our kind support and prayers because I surely need them right now.

I could not get a motel room until after three pm so I came to a Starbucks and doing some things I need to here. as it is very cold and cloudy outside and it looks like It will rain buckets I am glad that I am warm and dry.

I have never taken my laptop and my I Pad to Starbucks before and I am quite enjpying the experience while I wait.

@gizmo I have spent many a moment in transition sitting in a comfortable chair at Starbucks and Book Stores in the Mall (with coffee, teas and delight). It is a serene feeling outside of the workforce breakfast or lunch rush. :hug:

I called in sick (monthly issues) and slept a lot. Played some Pokemon when I was awake.

Went to the zoo yesterday and watched the sea lions for a looooong time....:watching::watching::photogenic:

I am taking short time outs from dementia care.

I am so grateful that I am managing dementia care so well, even though I struggle.

I am grateful that I am looking at pacing, safety and acceptance surrounding dementia care.

I am grateful that I am an excellent carer and I am grateful that I manage really well and provide stimulation, fun, disco dancing, social contact, good experiences, delicious food, humour and lots of attention to detail.

I am grateful that I am managing the aggressive, angry and violent behaviours.

I am very grateful that I am managing well so far, today.

My neighbor came over. She asked me to go out of town tomorrow with her. I told her that I couldn't. I could tell by her expression that she was not happy with me.

I took care of me by telling her no. Instead of calling about an order, which I would do, she is going to drive to check on it. Oh well.

For a treat I bought myself Martinellis apple juice and Fireball Whiskey which I am sipping on right now. I deserved a treat today.

@gizmo: Enjoy your drink. I also enjoyed my nonalcoholic wheat beer. :hungry:

I took breaks during work. I didn't rush over.

I did the Mindfulness body scan from "The Mindful Way Through Depression." I did it twice - I did keep checking out at times but I was compassionate for myself and just noted "It is the nature of the mind to wander!" and kept going back to the practice.

So I am choosing to have a different day today. I will be a friend to myself today.

@Ms Spock: That's a great choice. I hope you enjoyed your company today. :hug:

I went for a run and ignored the computer during my break at work.

I went to Starbucks aain. I took a fall getting off of my chair but I was not hurt and I got up ok. The people here are so nice and helpful and this place is so packed today. Probably because it is a Friday.

I got me a nice warm cup of coffee and I am planning to play on my I Pad and to do some journaling to sort out some things in my head.

I am catching myself with distorted thoughts so being here will clear my mind I hope. I am treating myself today.

@Anrish :hug: I was a bit more there and I can see where I can improve. Still on my L Plates being a friend to myself. I have to stick to my boundaries rather than doing people pleasing.

I did a body scan (bit of a busy mind but I did remember to breath at some points) and mindful eating (two mouthfuls but every bit counts) mindful teethbrushing, (in out and but gave it a whirl) and one three minute breathing space.( in and out as well but I did it!)
