Self Care Monday 10/17

[cam]

What did you do this past week? Did you do anything for your physical well-being?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Spend at least 5 minutes each day on yourself.

It was a hectic week, but the need to work on LO's Halloween costume meant I got to put some of my time into sewing. MH, LO, and I watched a movie last night for some family time after spending most of the week with LO and I apart from MH. I also bought myself a cheap massager for my back/neck/wherever. It arrived just a bit ago, and I am currently trying it out.

This week will be just as hectic as the past few. We've got some family time planned in there though.

Past Week: Did not go to the gym like planned. I brought DS to an event over the weekend and parked a mile away so I did my walking.

This Week: Going out of town by myself. Going to try to work on Halloween plans, too.

Challenge: I really need to do this if for nothing else, just to get organized.

Another cluster of a week, but I did get an hour or so walk in 4 days last week. Being out in nature helps settle my mind.

My weight has plateaued the last 2 weeks, but at least I haven't gained. Only 2 doctor appointments this coming week- GI for mom and eyes for DH. Last week was 3- new PCP and uro for dad and flu shots for DH and me (we made a date of it).

So far all the new docs have been great but I am livid that there was a disconnect between the rehab nursing home and the pharmacy- some how my dad went home with a different set of medications than he'd been prescribed- they doubled him on an SSRI, allergy med and prescription NSAID and skipped his antispsychotic. My mother didn't catch it; it was only after I came to check his meds for the Seroquel that I realized how screwed up things are. This completely undermined his transition plan for home. I am livid.
