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

[goingonhope]

Bad day today. Yuck! Improved when mother-in-law stopped by. Early Eve. improved greatly. Even though I rec. wake-up call from husb. I couldn't wake. Missed picking kids up at school. School has a great practice and they were fine. 20 min. late. - imagine that. Awful! I tried to encourage them to tell me how bad of an experience it was, ....so I could feel awful, and rather they said it was something different, exciting and and that they enjoyed going back to thier classroom, seeing friend in after-school prog. & playing comp. :dont-know

Cookie, thanks. Heating pad worked! Kind of.
You said something in your last post that a lot of us go through:

i am facing something i don't want to deal with, but i can, and i will. i need to get past this, and my life will uncomplicate a great deal.

First of all, isn't it weird that we can still feel fear of doing something we know will be best? For me it was change, even if the change was for the better! I'd rather live in my day to day, predictable misery than do something different.

Second, the forces of reason are at play. You know that you will feel better if you do it. So just climb up that hill and declare victory, cause you're doing it!!

You're doing great cookie. I don't think you would have said that above statement when you first joined us. Well done!

What a wicked week! Full moon aside, this has been quite a week for me. We had snow on Monday so I cancelled my Neurologist appointment (now I can't get in until November) and I got a migraine on Tuesday afternoon which meant that Wednesday was a complete wash. When I was up and around Wednesday night, I was craving sugars - which is normal for me after a migraine. Thursday and Friday all I did was drink soda and eat sugar foods - WTF?? I cooked dinner, but was "too full" of junk to eat healthy. I felt bloated, sick, yucky... well kick my ass and call me Sally! This morning I drank some tea, ate a light but healthy breakfast and then took all 4 dogs out for a romp. I am now tired, sore, but oh so happy! For lunch I had a bowl of blueberries and milk and a handful of sunflower seeds. I'm still not real hungry but so glad I don't have those sugar cravings anymore. What a wacky week! :crazy-eye

glad you're feeling better, boo.
my day's been pretty good. wrote some poetry, cleaned the kitchen(Whew!,it was bad) made a beaded bracelet for a friend, did some laundry.

Been flat out today... cleaning house, disinfecting from end to end, detailed the car inside out, under the bonnet... swish. Forced teenager to go mow the lawn so I didn't have to do that also... Absolutely buggered now!

Now c'mon Anthony.......I did help. In my limited mobility way and I minded the toddler most of the day!

Changed the CV jionts on my dad's van, boy that was good to get the hands greasy again.

Anthony, are you "nesting"? Sure sounds like it disinfecting from end to end! I thought that is what the pregnant women did, but maybe you are getting "sympathetic nesting" urges? LOL. I cannot wait for the announcement of the new arrival!

:crazy: Terrible awful day for me today and it's indirectly affecting children. Husband's not happy with how unpresent I am. Reliving trauma and experiencing fears in such a way it shuts down my thinking skills. Can't think straight from one moment to the next. I ache from head toe. I seldom take any med's. Once every several months a sedative. Scared to death of medicines. I don't drink, I don't drug and I've got nothing. Really frightened right now. Need something to change quickly as this is horrible. I do know how to suffer, as do I imagine many of us do, so I'll be just fine, but this sucks so bad. Please, forgive me for being honest about how my day's going. It's awful.

Well, GOH, I'm going to follow your example and acknowledge having a very crap day. In fact, I haven't felt this bad for months. Starting to feel the med change is a very bad idea. Feeling very out of sorts depression-wise and unable to settle. Full of bad thoughts. If I don't keep busy, I'm finding myself just zoned out, or raiding the fridge to keep me occupied. Very fidgety. :crazy-eye

Somehow, I think sleep might be a problem tonight. The last couple of nights I've slept longer than I have for ages, but it's not restful sleep. Both mornings, I have woken up tangled in my duvet - not usually one to move much when asleep. Still had no energy or motivation and it's hard work to do anything. Nightmares are also a major problem. Maybe that's why I'm so fidgety this evening.

Feel like I need a time-out, but sitting at home all day won't help, so it's off to work in the morning either way. Just have to hope the day goes smoothly, or else I'm f###ed.

sorry you're having rough day's hope and piglet. i'm sleeping about once a week now, not great, but i'll take it! i took my last dose of lexapro last night, we'll see tomorrow how things go, i think it'll be fine. couln't tell any dif. on the lower dose.

Not bad actually. Yeaterday my friend Malissa (My nephew's step Grandma) and I went fishing. It was cold and all I got was one little nibble. But we both had a great time. It was peaceful.

Last night I actually slept all night. Not quite sure how I managed that one but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth (as my mom used to say).

That meant I was up bright and early to take Jerron (my dog) out to play ball and go for a walk (ahh if only life were so simple-for her it is all about the ball).

Then I watched the Seahawks/Rams game. Hawks won!!!!! Came down to the last 4 seconds. WAHOO!!!! Sorry, got a little carried away.

Then I took the dog out again. And now I am doing this. In a little while I have to go back upstairs and take a nap as I have to work Graveyard tonight. YUCK.

I think my life is boring but at least I have one now.
