8 dimensions of wellness

How are things going @Scoo

Happy new year @Former-Member

Well me and hubby got through Christmas. It was a quiet one for many reasons. It's always been a difficult time of the year for him. I'm struggling with a shoulder injury. I'm in constant pain and have difficulty sleeping. Can't go to the gym. In doors most of the time resting because I now am fatigued from lack of sleep. Still managing full time work. Back to the Dr tomorrow to try a different medication that actually works on the pain so I can get some sleep. I'm doing a lot of CBT so I don't fall into depression. I can't do my normal self care at the moment other good nutrition and occasional light gardening.
I hope 2021 has blessings in stall for you and others who read this ❤️

@Scoo 😵😵😵 I do hope you can find something that brings relief.

@Shaz51

Was thinking about environmental wellness today and thought about you and wondered if you had given any thought to this when planning your new home.

With our renovation I have been thinking about having adequate storage and organisation, having things handy to where we use them. I have also been thinking about heating and cooling. We have a component of reusing too - a heater that was in the lounge will be reinstalled in the bedroom, some bathroom fittings were bought cheaply second hand (ex-display). I am also thinking of the view out the new bedroom window and how I might plant the garden area that this room will overlook.

@Former-Member

Been lots of thinking here of the new house

It is going to have lower ceilings, lots and lots of built-in for storage

Will feel strange having big glass windows instead of the Queensland castments

We are having a patio at the front and the back

But we have soo many different options that we are not sure which way to go

A garden ( easy care ) outside the bedroom window will be lovely for you

Another thing too @Former-Member

I have lived in 5 different houses and 2 of the houses twice years apart

I have shared my space with aunties and uncles and cousins , husband, children and my mum

And to even think of having a home of my own really does not compute with me

I am sure you have taken into consideration features that you have liked or disliked from the places you have lived in or visited @Shaz51 . For example I wouldn't have a look in the middle of a house, not against an outside wall. When we had previous plans done, the draftsman we saw was able to tweak things and offer suggestions where I wasn't happy with the plans I had done. I have never worried about resale, feeling it is our home and we are the only ones we need to please. If we ever decide to sell any new owner can adjust as they see fit for their own needs.

I recently found out about these faux skylights and have a little savings goal to get these installed in our loo and dining area, both of which need electric light during the day. They come in round, square and oblong.

Yes @Former-Member

I find it funny and interesting with cleaning other people's house , because I see things that would be good and some things that are not so good to have in the house

Well worth mentioning any ideas to your draftsman @Shaz51 , it is surprising how they can adjust plans to incorporate features without adding expense to building (sometimes even reducing costs).

I have moved house 7 times as a child & 24 times as an adult....that I can remember, I had to write them down to try to count. I think I remembered them all. As life has changed so has my location, or vice versa.
