~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Good Morning @Taali did not sleep well so this morning tried to get morning sunlight but house was being ambushed by the stray cat i befriended and could not go outdoors. Was able to stand at the front door and close it if the cat tried to get in. Ive had problems being bitten by this cat in the past. I went out and stood at the back door trying to get sunlight but the cat switched plans and leaped across to the back door. Im stuck with a stray cat

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

That's kind of funny @SmilingGecko 😁

I was up at 4 o'clock

Went back to bed at 6 and slept for almost two hours 😴

Yay me!!

I've hung washing on the line for the first time since my surgery in April. So am pretty chuffed with myself 👕

I've been trying to find the post made by @Appleblossom where she linked a YouTube video on dealing with stress, I couldn't view it last night as I was feeling a bit wobbly.

Am feeling much better now 😌

Be well dear friend Taali 🧡

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thats good news @Taali its hard caring for yourself when flying solo. Yes cat is a problem @TAB said they are territorial. So true. Shes certainly got this house marked out. Oh well.

Just about to do some weights and then slice some huge papayas I got for my liver smoothies. Will do weights now

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I'd like to do some weights, but, really I can't be bothered haha!😕

I'm going to try to start swimming this week

Just have to find a time when I don't risk terrifying small children with the sight of my body 🙃

Enjoy being you, @SmilingGecko

Love Taali ❤️

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yes it can get like that @Taali you will enjoy swimming, its an easier more gentler exercise on the joints. I dont swim anymore. My acupuncturist wanted me to swim. I would rather do it at the beach. You can get beach alerts on your phone if the water is safe to swim in. I havent got any bathers so might be Best n Less for me for a tankini or something. Bathers can get so expensive at some outlets I've seen black bathers at Best n Less in plus size. I hope you can find some nice bathers to suit your curves!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I've got the bathers, now for the commitment! Haha 😄 @

@SmilingGecko

I'm quite happy to sit on my not so user-friendly backside LOL

I'm trying hard not to go out and buy chips....

Will do some washing instead @Taali

Nothing is perfect, but I try and mix up what I take on board. Certainly dont watch it all in one go. lol

Cheers Take care
