Cooking sounds like fun. I never thought I'd say that lol but if I could stand up long enough to cook, I'd do it! Self-care is important. It comes in so many forms but we all know what works for us. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself
@monicakm Cooking and baking are activites that really relax me and I love cooking different meals each day. I wonder if you could cook things while sitting in a chair? I did that when I had covid in 2019 and felt too tired to stand for long periods. Self care is a way to value myself and boost my mood- hair, makeup, nails, outfits, at home facials etc- I take time each day to look and feel my best. If I'm in a bad mood or depressed, I've found that self care can help to cheer me up. ![]()

Some day soon (hopefully) I'll have the strength to cook and partake in selfcare again. Yes, I can cook (or assist) while sitting at the bar. My husband does most of the cooking and I'm his sous chef
But we also eat freezer meals that require no cooking other than the air fryer or oven.

Ah, thank you
That means a lot, it really does. I'll be thinking of your sentiments tomorrow when I'm being thrown about and pushed beyond my limits. What I really really REALLY wish is that the PT guy that worked on my knees could do cardio. Rob would have me doing cartwheels for him if that's what it took. He made me want to excel. My first impression of this place isn't a good one but I'm going in with positive thoughts. Maybe it was just me that day.
@monicakm You're very welcome, Monicakm
. PT will push you to your limits and go past comfort zones in terms of range of movement post-injury, but I know that you can do it! Just make sure to breathe, take your time and release tension and speak up if something is too far or too hard. I remember that you had a PT expert that you enjoyed last year, can he work on you again? You can do this, Monicakm- put on that Fenty lip gloss, do your Espresso goddess hair, put on a cute and comfortable PT outfit and realize that each PT appointment is one step closer to your goals for healing.

@monicakm That's really sweet that your husband does most of the cooking and your his sous chef! You're a dynamic duo
. Freezer meals can definitely come in handy! Self care can eb and flow and some days are more glam than others. I've had my Anybody joggers and a scuncjy days in doors and other days I do the whole hair, makeup, outfit etc just to grovery shop or check the mail. I will say that I bet you look great with or without makeup and lovely with or without your hair done! Plus, you wear glamorous makeup to bed, so that's self care in and of itself!

No, Rob doesn't do cardio PT, darn it. I will give this lady more than a fair chance. To not do that will only hurt me. I might have to swim there tho
More torrential down pours today and tonight. DH has a nephew and fam that live in south Tyler where there was damaging high winds and a tornado. No damage to his house tho. Lots of trees down and maybe his fence. This is bananas! I don't remember a spring this violent with tornadoes and damaging winds. Rain, yes, years ago. We have been in drought conditions for a few years but this is too much rain for the farmers. Maybe the lakes have filled up.

Life certainly has it's ups and downs doesn't it? I guess I've had it too easy for too long and someone thought I needed a reality check ![]()
Yes, I'm "glam" all the time except when I'm not LOL Lipgloss and fragrance to bed is a must. Last night I pulled out Burberry Her. It's nice. Not a top fragrance but I like it. It's "smooth" enough to wear to bed.

@monicakm Its too bad that Rob can't do cardio PT- but its great that you'll give this lady a shot! Wow, torrential downpours, lightning and thunder and tornadoes all happened recently in your neck of the woods - I wonder if its all global warming weather changes or something else. Tornadoes seem so scary!

@monicakm I think that life is kind of a game of chance- some years are easy and others are difficult. All people can do is embrace the good times and weather the storm of the bad times- but I do think that overcoming adversity makes people stronger in the end, even when things seem very hard. Burberry Her is such a great scent- that's a great way to go to bed! I love that you wear lipstick to bed too! Speaking of lips- are you enjoying your Tatcha berry colored lip mask that you got? ![]()

You're a very wise young lady. And you remind me of my dad. He used to tell me I haven't had it rough enough or something along those lines. Well okay we can stop with the rough stuff now! I've had enough 😬
