ANYONE DID "SELF CARE" THIS WEEK? ๐ค
I had to "delay" my planned Foot Soak but doing it TOMORROW ๐๐๐ I treat myself to DIFFERENT scented Epsom Salt at Walmart. Yes, their brand. Lol, it is the ONLY way my Toe Nails will let me "trim" them = warm water "softens" them.

Yes Nicole that is a funny one!! ๐คฃ When the hair starts going out rather than down, it is time. I couldn't get an appointment when I wanted one because we are "in season", then I had to cancel one because I was sick, so I was glad to finally get there this week.

Oh NO Cadee @Cadee2719 !!! ๐ฑ
Hmmm, I wonder IF you are doing TOO MUCH? ๐๐๐
Gosh, please take care and lol, your daughter in law is a trip. ๐คฃ๐
So GOOD hearing from you. ๐๐๐

Oh no Cadee @Cadee2719! I'm sorry to hear about your fever and sore throat and their interference in trying to wrap up your medical things. I guess you will have to take a pause to rest and get yourself on the mend. Maybe you have stretched yourself thinly, compromised your immune system, and then the people coming through your house brought you some nasty bug!
I hope your buyer choosing went well and I'm wishing you a smooth escrow process!
My fingers are crossed that the grave stone gets completed so you can see it before the move. In The meantime, it is good to see you are retaining your sense of humor RE: your DIL.

Lol Marcy @MarcyW882921 , the lady who "stopped" by LAST NIGHT said there is NO MAINTENANCE!!! ๐๐คฃ
One guy "quit" and the "other" one on bed rest... ๐
*** Still leaking ***
AFTER she left LAST NIGHT, I took "pictures" and EMAILED to Mr. Wonderful (NEW Property Manager). He is the one who had FIRED my Old Maintenance Guy! ๐ค
Girl,.... ๐

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.

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? ๐ค
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... ๐๐๐
Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY ๐๐๐

HOW ARE YOU? ๐ค
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... ๐คฃ๐ And several hours later I was good to go. I guess with OLD AGE comes more NEED to be "drugged" up at the dentist. ๐ Poor guy, had to do several shots and of course keep an eye on my blood pressure from my "anxiety" - glad that is over ๐๐๐
SOME CAVITY HUMOR!
The dentist told his patient to open wider. โMy goodness!โ he said. โYouโve got the biggest cavity Iโve seen, the biggest cavity Iโve seen.โ โOk,โ said the patient, โbut Iโm scared enough. Do you need to repeat yourself?โ โI didnโt,โ said the dentist. โThat was the echo.โ ~anonymous
*** Now I need to climb back into my bed = was up ALL NIGHT thinking about the "drill" ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY ๐๐๐

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.

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT ,
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.๐ฅฑ๐ด

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!!! ๐๐๐

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. ๐ 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 ๐๐ท

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN HONORING YOUR LUV ONES? ๐ค
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 ๐๐๐
