I read an article today RE: the 8 dimensions of self-care. Some of them you would think of right away, but there are others that may not come to mind so readily. According to the article they are: Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Environmental, Social, Spiritual, Financial, and yes Occupational. Many of us are retired but the occupational can be volunteering, decluttering, cooking for someone, or simply being of service. It gives us things to think about as we try to take care of ourselves following a loss.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

So last night the Property Manager "finally" sends someone to "look" at [NOT FIX] the 2 leaks I have.

Lol, they NEED to "reimburse" me for my stress and purchases (water absorbing snakes, mats, rags, towels).

Nearly 1pm = NO sign of anyone...  🙄🙄🙄

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

So Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,

How did that looking work out for you? It seems since water can do so much damage, that it would be in their best interest to actually stop the leak. I hope that happens soon.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Had to have a Cavity filled TODAY and I know my NEW Dentist HOPES there will NOT be another one again!!! Lol, I had told him I DO NOT like the drill...  🤣😂  And several hours later I was good to go. I guess with OLD AGE comes more NEED to be "drugged" up at the dentist.  🙄  Poor guy, had to do several shots and of course keep an eye on my blood pressure from my "anxiety" - glad that is over  💃💃💃

SOME CAVITY HUMOR!

The dentist told his patient to open wider. “My goodness!” he said. “You’ve got the biggest cavity I’ve seen, the biggest cavity I’ve seen.” “Ok,” said the patient, “but I’m scared enough. Do you need to repeat yourself?” “I didn’t,” said the dentist. “That was the echo.” ~anonymous

*** Now I need to climb back into my bed = was up ALL NIGHT thinking about the "drill"  😱😱😱

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

Oh my Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy.

It sounds like you had a stressful night and day. I'm glad it is over and you survived! Hopefully you will not need to do that again any time soon.

😴  I HOPE everyone gets some "rest" TONIGHT at their "bedtime"...

Thank you SO MUCH MC @mc6844 and Marcy @MarcyW882921 for posting TODAY 💙💙💙

See you guys in the morning  😎

[MarcyW882921]

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,

I got to bed late last night after a rehearsal and was awakened early by a headache wannabe. Fortunately by getting upright, I held it at bay all day. Now I am tired and hope to get the bedtime rest you mentioned.🥱😴

Cadee @Cadee2719 , looks like Stallone is tired of California like you. But WHY move to Florida? It has the name of being just like California. And YES, he has MONEY but so do the criminals = his neighbor. Lol, he needs to move to IDAHO like you and OTHER Californians have/are doing.  Now the media needs to MOVE ON. For days now he has been hogging/monopolizing the Florida News = BORING!!!  🙄🙄🙄

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

  A lot of people are moving out of this state.  Yesterday I had Open House and lots of people here.  My realtor told me this morning I have four offers so far with three more to come!!  I am excited.  My son took me to the ocean where we had the best fish EVER and then to the grave sites.  He kept telling me "relax, Mom".  It was a PERFECT day.  😊  Today - blood test,  another person wants to take a second look at the house, tomorrow - eye doctor, Thursday - IV Fusion.  In between that I am packing, packing, packing.  I saw the remark about moving to Idaho and I am not afraid of the four seasons.  Actually I look forward to them. Each season brings a change, new life and something to look forward to.  Beats 115 degrees in the summer, floods, homes sliding down hillsides, homeless everywhere and so much crime that you have to be a prisoner in your home.  A little snow won't hurt me.  I will stay in if really bad and look out the window and enjoy the scenery. ( the joy of being retired)    I am excited.  Looks like I will be there for SPRING 🐞🌷  

[MarcyW882921]

This all sounds good Cadee @Cadee2719 ! I hope your appointment with your eye doctor and the IV infusion went well. You are getting closer to making that move!

MC @mc6844 , it is the site and AARP continues to IGNORE the complaints as usual = poor customer service  😎

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN HONORING YOUR LUV ONES?  🤔

It has been awhile since I have missed my grandma and TODAY, it hit me. But I am LEARNING to "honor" her in the midst of missing her = think of MY TIME with her  💃💃💃

[mc6844]

That is nice, Nicole. She meant a lot to you.

Well Marcy @MarcyW882921 , the CODES said 2 cylinders had "issues" - $91 with the "warning" FUEL EJECTOR (I think that is what it is called 🙄) was the ORIGINAL (been in car since 2006 😱) will be NEEDING to be "replaced" at some point $850 "estimate" 😎

Thanks for asking 💙💙💙

I'm glad you got your car back. Hopefully it wasn't any thing major mechanical or financial!

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,

You got your car back and the $91 is not bad.  The $850 is another story!☹️

Marcy

[mc6844]

Did your mechanic take the car apart and find the problem? Or going  by print out codes? Costs a lot to take it apart. But codes can be affected by electrical panels. Even so, taking the car apart doesn't guarantee it will be fixed properly. Take care!

Well Cadee @Cadee2719 , MY TURN with the car  😭😭😭  Check Engine Light. Just dropped car off at Mechanic.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[Cadee2719]

  Hope it is nothing MAJOR.  I guess the repairs we make are cheaper than buying a new car now a day.  The FOR SALE sign is in the front yard.  A couple came bye today and another one is coming tomorrow and then Sunday ........OPEN HOUSE.  Here we go.  I go to my final eye exam on Tuesday - I think it is healing great.   On Thursday I begin my first IV Infusion of Orencia.  Hope it works.  I have now packed 40 boxes so far.  Still waiting on my son's results.  Life sure does keep us busy doesn't it?  

[MarcyW882921]

Cadee @Cadee2719 ,

This is exciting news on the house front- a For Sale sign in the yard, prospective buyers looking, packed boxes, and an Open House!

Maybe even more exciting news on the health front! Patients know their bodies so if you think your eye is healing great then I think it must be. I hope your eye exam and IV infusion both go well this week.

Marcy

[mc6844]

Ohh....I hope it gets fixed quickly.

Just an update as to my health problems..because being a caretaker I placed my own health on the shelf thus this is what has caught up with me...I have various appts in the coming weeks to address all that is wrong and hopefully the outcome will be of a positve nature for my body..It's important when caring for a love one to stay in tune with one self health wise as this is what can happen...We give all to tending to love one not that I have any regrets because I would do it agin without hesitation ...Thank You All for caring via posts..Now it's onward upward to good health ...

[mc6844]

Jonibee, I saw on another site that it's called Beyond Burnout. Hopefully as you see to things you will rebuild your energy and health. Take care!

I did some meal prep for a community organization today and did another solo social outing. The outing was going to a movie that was part of a film festival. The movie was incredible and it was interesting to hear the surviving daughters talk afterward about their parents (who were the main characters in the movie). Marcy ***]
