What Did You Do For You Today???

Feeling fragile today and so I got all dressed up as I have to go and get things done today. I feel so much better. I even put on some perfume.

Raised my maximum hours for availability at my job.

I just put the first coat of paint on the porch stairs. The yard and outside of my home is kind difficult for me and I'm going against a lot of learned helplessness on this home maintenance stuff. Unlike dad, I'm going to follow the directions on the can of paint and put on a second coat tomorrow so the stairs don't need patching and painting every year.

Yay Spiderallis... you go gal. I love to paint... but am allergic to the fumes or I'd offer to assist you. I find it very relaxing.

I went to the art museum with my father in law.

I asked hubby to pull into a parking lot so that I could get into the back seat to elevate my leg during a car trip today. I looked after me - not my usual way of being.

Today I finished restoring a garden bench that I made a few years ago. I found painting it so be so relaxing, that I didn't really want to stop.

I used a dark brown varnish which is tricky to use, as it tends to run if you apply too much, and you have to brush lightly.

When I finished I felt quite happy, as it looked so good. So today was a positive one for me, a far cry from yesterday when I felt really down, my only wish is that I would like to be able to control these mood swings.

I am taking my time waking up this morning and it is so relaxing for me. What a luxory!

I thought I'd feel some sense of accomplishment or something when I finished painting the porch stairs. Nope, but it's done.

I think the secret there, is to enjoy doing it. I've always found restoring something makes me feel good about myself, especially if I'm happy with the end product.
I find it relaxes me, and keeps my mind busy at the same time.

I went to starbucks after I picked up my prescription.

I am taking my time relaxing before I start my day. I love being able to do this. Once I get a job I will not be able to do this as much. It is so comforting to have time to fully wake up before I start my day.
