Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely loved this! It helps reinforce how important it is to put ourselves first. Although I am not a caregiver (no kiddos for me), I am in a caring profession where I put theients (and, a lot of the times, needs of my patients and the hospital) ahead of myself. And it's NOT okay.

I‘m off today after working three 12-hour shifts in the psych emergency department. Wow! I haven‘t worked worked in forever. My brain is mush.

Plans: Catch up on #HashtagBrigade (@BreakingMadRead), therapy, finish the Suicide House, cuddle with babies, trash TV (not sure what's on the docket), and move just enough so that Lobster doesn't think I'm dead and eats my earlobes.

#FillYourCupFriday #SelfCareIsNotSelfish

I have finished reading this book. While I took some notes, I still need to organize and input them into my planner so that I can work on my goals effectively. Additionally, I need to review the attached PDF materials to see if there is anything else that I need to extract from them. #SelfCareIsNotSelfish

My #TherapeuticThursday was spent at the orthopedic office (my leg is healing, but I have significant ligament damage to my ankle - which ... I mean... pain - so I guessed it). Anyway, Today #FillYourCupFriday. I am going to continue to take it easy (especially since it snowed yesterday), just got back from PT and having a PCP and Therapy appointment via zoom soon. What are y'all doing to “fill your cup“?

I enjoyed the plot twists in my book! Today, I prioritized my self-care routine and managed to complete everything on my list except painting my nails, but I did remove the chipped polish. In addition, I indulged in a nice, long hot shower with a shower steamer and some step exercises. #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #TherapeuticThursday #DoubleSpin #BlameItOnLitsy

Redownloaded #LibbyLoan this one for an #AudioCleaning book. But… decided to start this while taking a long soak in the tub 🛀🏻. #SelfCareIsNOTSelfish

Great tips & ideas, many of which I already knew but, I also found/bookmarked several new & more effective ones for me.
