Wellness Wednesday~ 7/17/24 (What are you doing today to Support your Wellness)?

I will get up early to take my dog for a walk before it gets too hot… & so that we can both spend time together early on, & get in a little activity & some steps. 🐾👟

Then I will take time to catch a Strength & weight class afterwards, and then get in the pool for a bit to relax, stretch, and cool off a bit before continuing on with my day & in the right mindset.  💪🏼🏊‍♀️

I am prioritizing my needs and what my body is seeking rather than pushing myself too far.

Woke up with a start from eating a bit too much sugar the day before...neighbors were doing the usual renovation routine so I did some self care then headed out to see what I can see.

Being alone and constantly needing to wear earplug or noise cancelling headphones is a dream killer to me. I need a bit of like-minded people around to remind me that life is worth living.

I live in a pretty small city and am weird (In a good way! Stop dialing 911...) so chances of finding someone like-minded is usually slim to none but I feel more aligned with my values, interests and principles when I'm looking anyway. 

Plans for an ebike extravaganza are in the works along with an ever-growing bucket list that had ten items added today thanks to a little interactive bucket-list building found at one of my favourite shops.

Tried on a couple outfits in a cute shop to escape the brutal heat, then was hungry so went trolling for food. Some good granola stuck out at the same shop so I picked that up, went for a brief swim in a lake on the way home (Sweetest little single mom duck family swam by me! Six ducklets! Ducklets? Whatever the babies are. They were mere inches from me!)

Briefly stopped at home to turn off the A/C I need to leave on to prevent turning my thick cement wall rental into a smouldering box from heck, ignored my cranky gen x building manager and his cranky staff, opened the windows to hopefully dissipate some of the second hand smoke that fills the place from the neighbors then headed off again to find somewhere I could breathe and use wifi as it's been down since yesterday.

Remembered an epic burger from a place a short walk away so am there now. Allowed myself to be sold on a fancy drink too. Am feeling generous today, and after this will be redecorating my home. As my budget is tight as a drum, I'll be just taking everything but furniture out, room at a time, then rearranging, decluttering and add back in plants, throw pillows, lighting, etc..

If I find anything is needed, will first shop what I own and second, if worse comes to worst budget in necessary expenses to make my house a home and not the "ghetto motel" it is as some boomer neighbor calls it. I'm lucky to be housed as a millenial so they can call it inappropriate and out-of-touch names all they want. 

But for now will just finish my delicious meal whilst awkwardly on my phone instead of connecting with the world around me lol. Although I did chat to the hostess, waiter, a waitress and another solo diner who's forced to eat with their opposite hand as their arm was sin some full-on cast system after some kind of work accident. So at least I got that going for me. But still...so, so awkward when I interact. I could game anyone under the table but when it comes to social stuff...Lawd help me.

Hi, Ocean,

Can you include me on this list, please?  :)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO SUPPORT YOUR OVERALL WELLBEING?! (Mentally, Physically, or Emotionally)!   Today I am giving myself breaks of working on my final paper for this semester.  I go to Netflix and watch something that makes me smile.  I also wrote the professor and asked if he would consider letting us write less pages.  I know he'll laugh.
