How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

[WildMermaid]

This has been one of those rough around the edges days, but I still have hope. Finding a way to cope with these migraines will probably have good effect. Today is challenging but tomorrow will be better.

Thank you Glitterkitty for the warm thoughts and well wishes. Hugs back to you.

My day has been better because I got up straight away and did my Mindfulness Mediation Body Scan for 30 minutes, and then I went and did exercise.

My day has been a mixed bag of good and bad. I got so much accomplished around here but have issues I have to confront both my daughter and her boyfriend about his dogs and not asking me if I even wanted to take care of them end if I had plans they were surely messed up.

I am trying not to stress about whether or not we get the rental tomorrow and I have such a busy day tomorrow. Feeling apprehensive about the mixed bag of emotions.

My day started awful. I didn't sleep again and if it weren't for my trainee and my best friend (who had to catch a train), I wouldn't have gotten out of my bed this morning. My mood was horrible for all morning, but there were so many people who shouldn't notice...I just pulled myself together. My trainee was somehow my sunshine because it is fun to teach him. Another new colleague who didn't get in our group went straight to the chief and asked for a transfer into my group. He said that he wants me to teach him and that I shall not dare to have another trainee when he might make it to our group. I was stunned. I don't know what some people see in me.

Fairly good. Got a phone call from my friend I sent the hamper to, she had an operation yesterday so I made it up as a surprise for her. She opened it this morning and absolutely loved it, kept telling me down the phone I didn't know what it meant to her. I do. She's done things often enough for me when I felt down.
We had a good hours chat, a little random because she's still coming off the anaesthetic, but it made me happy to know she's okay and that I made her day, or longer. There's a card in there for her to open for the next 14 days, just to keep her going.
Other than that I've been switching between reading and working on my assignment, which I'm currently feeling positive about just for a change. And I'm really enjoying the work too.
I braved the cold to go out and buy a few bits for dinner, treated myself to a nice biscuit to have later. Now I'm back in front of the fire again, the cat curled up at my feet, thinking of reading a new book just for pleasure (as opposed to do with my course).
I'm hoping the weather cheers up a bit so I can go out later on in the week. Last time I was off I felt bad because I barely left the house. I don't want to do that again.

My day was rather chaotic. I slept at least...that was quite a progress. I started to tidy up our storage room at work - and I found documents which are older than me! :eek: And some other strange stuff...two CD players and both broken...one colleague even asked me "are you kind of hyperactive today?"...I was full of energy. I like to keep things in order and so it was hard to stop me.

it started out bad and depressing. But I thought about what was going on and did take care of the dogs and the cats. Listened to music to relax me. Made a business call and was reassured. I journeled and played the games on my I Pad and I treated myself to a little something on Amazon. Wrote out a long list of chores for the girls because this morning the place was a disaster and the girls are having to do their chores now. I am going to give them Amazon cards as a treat which they love. Took a long hot shower and put on my favorite perfume and am now relaxing some more. I feel so much better.

Had a positive start to the day. Felt like I had a more restful sleep last night than I had in ages. Was in less pain this morning too. Did some work on my assignment, still going well, much to my surprise. Researched some more places to walk, but decided it's just too cold to go out right now. Disappointed about that. Feel like I've spent yet another week doing almost nothing.
Made a point of having my lunch without distractions so I could focus on being mindful. It kind of worked. I even managed to do the exercise my T suggested. Though I'm embarrassed, I looked at some mindfulness books in a bookshop and they tell you to practice the exercise for as little as 5 minutes. My T has me starting on 3 breaths. That's all I can mange and I'm struggling with that.
Wrote a bit more in my trauma diary. Got to the stage now where I'm writing stuff that is still raw and hard to deal with. Left me feeling sad, angry, uncomfortable.
Thought about trying to cook something again. Hopefully this time I won't undercook it, burn it, or just forget it, as I have been lately. I've got all this veg in my fridge I've got to use up.
Did a bit of reading, then found myself looking up writing jobs on the Internet. Don't know where that came from. I'm back to work tomorrow. Don't want to go back but I'm not unhappy. Confused now. Do I want a new job? Is this me thinking I can get a new job? Why am I looking now?

Well today isn't to bad. Just so tired from getting very little sleep this whole week. I even had one person jokingly come up to my desk and told me to wake up, plus I'm cough a lot but I'm starting to learn to roll with the punches a little bit.

My day was kind of a crazy. I almost got stuck in a snow drift on my way to work. I got some work done during the morning and my desk doesn't look that chaotic anymore. I was announced to be on duty call for a demonstration on Monday, but then I got a call and was asked if I also can do the job of a coordinator at the pre-charge detention centre in the headquarters. I've never done this before and I said that, but ...I got this job for now. So, I'll have to stay at work until late night on Monday and will sleep in my office....:confused: ....after that incident, I was lucky to leave work earlier and called my neighbour to change the time for our jogging. He told me that a good friend (or rather an affair of him...) was threatened by her former boyfriend. The two came over right after I returned home and she cried a lot. She already went to the police, the court....and that crazy asshole of ex-boyfriend starts to threaten her with messages from anonymous SMS-services....I gave her my number and she called later because she already got new messages from that jerk. I think that I calmed her in some way...but...I really don't wish for that guy to show himself in front of her house. He's prohibited to do this by the police...and my neighbour (who is also an police officer) and I promised her to come to her as soon as anything might happen. I just will have to outbrake my neighbour when that time will come - because he's already really mad at the other guy. The funny thing is that I feel confident that I might talk some sense into that idiot of ex, without a weapon, just with my appearance and my acting.

The doctor suggested I try therapy yesterday after I told him about my PTSD, 4 and half years of EMDR, and my mom's cancer then the passing of my mother then grandmother in the past two years. I don't know how to do therapy anymore, that is such a long ago part of my life that I'm actually kind of apprehensive. Not sure I want to talk about the past like that and my main tormentor is dead (I think) so I just don't know what to do with myself. I've been in what feels like a fugue state since. Tomorrow everything will be clearer. Have a good night. *hugs*
