I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Well, I've mainly just slept today - after a relatively undisturbed, full night's sleep too. Grrrrr. On the surface at least, mood is still basically okay. But I am frustrated with myself. The one thing I have done that is more physical than mental is water the plants (let off the fireworks, lol). There are still some hours in the evening yet though, so may manage to do something else before midnight. At least I feel a bit more awake now. Hope the day has been better for others.

@Mazarita I'd really like you to light those fireworks for watering your plants, then I'd feel better about being so excited that I watered dishes today - and that was after having to clean the bathroom yesterday! It might not seem much to people that manage everyday tasks alright, but it's like having no arms and legs sometimes. If you think of it that way, watering anything is an amazing achievement.

@Former-Member, I don't know yet if I'll be able to sleep tonight. I'm still fairly tired but then I do tend to become more awake as the evening progresses quite often. I will try to sleep at a reasonable hour though. Could not avoid sleeping during today, was simply falling asleep in the chair otherwise. It's never really clear whether it's mental or physical health (or a combination) that has me feeling this way (I have Crohns Disease and other health problems too). Smoothies I will do again after Wednesday when I meet my support worker at the mall for fruit and veg shopping. 🙂
@Former-Member, I get it that you would say that about having to do the bathroom yesterday. It really is like you say with the missing arms and legs sometimes (often here). Thanks for the fireworks anyway! Yes, let's celebrate our small, watery achievements. 
@TAB, you too, eh? Let's hope for better days.
Group hugs!

@Mazarita 'whizz-bang-pop' !!! Fireworks for you 🙂 lol I had a day like that last week and decided to let myself off the hook and call it a 'much needed rest day'... thing is it's super hard to do anything once yer THAT lay back... so I think getting out and watering your plants is great... I wouldn't have... I would have put it on my 'I'll get around to it' list and if that list gets any longer I'll need a filing cabinet lol ... ok well maybe it's not that long... hope you get to do something to enjoy your evening 🙂

Thanks @MissG I have one of those super long 'I'll get round to it' lists too. I'll enjoy the evening, spending time here and doing other things on the computer. There's usually always lots to stimulate the mind, thank goodness. Just getting my body to move is altogether another issue at times. Hope you enjoy your evening too. Anything planned?
