What Did You Do For You Today???

[amethist]

Today I said bugger to the cleaning and all the things I should do, and decided to do things I could do for myself instead.

So I got cooking and baking.

I made some spicy lentil soup, a chocolate cheesecake, a chocolate fudge cake, (To be decorated tomorrow). Plus some cheese and onion bread rolls to go with the soup. I did cheat with these it was a packet mix, but they do taste good.

From now on I will have a baking and cooking day at least once a week.

I was late to bed last night, as I decided that not only would I varnish my fingers nails, (Not done this for sooo, sooo long), but I would varnish my toe nails too.

So got posh toe nails and its guna rain, so no opened toed sandals for me today.

I do have to remember though, that I cannot type when varnish is not quite set :rolleyes:.

Found myself getting tied up in knots trying to fit in with what hubby wanted to do/timeframe/giving him a lifts to save on taxi fares. Asserted myself and said 'this is what I'm gonna do, I can drop you off (near his favourite cafe) and then pick you up at 1.5 hrs later. If you want to take a taxi to go home sooner, text & let me know'. I'm bending over backwards less often these days. :)

:D Did my thing as planned (see above) and went to a local art exhibition. The pictures were beautiful, I had 3/4 hour to forget about everything and really enjoy myself. Bought a couple of souvenir cards which I've now framed and will hang on the wall either side of the mirror in the sitting room tomorrow.

I've traveled 100 miles & back by bus & train to visit my son on his birthday. He had a miserable birthday last year & I just wanted to help make it a good day for him.
I have returned home happy & tired, safe in the knowledge that no matter what happens we will always be there for each other.

Went out to dinner with friends. It is the first time I have been out to dinner is a couple of years. Me and the boys enjoyed it very much!:D

Well, this has been an ongoing process for the past week, I think... coupled with the last several months of therapy :confused: but I stood up for the feelings/boundaries I'd been bottling up "to not upset my sufferer".. When he didn't accept them, I stood my ground and called it quits. I still so much wanted to see or talk to him to get a reaction out of him, then realized what I was doing and told him to not call me and have a great day. Then I deleted him from my phone to avoid the temptation I have to call upon him for things/when I'm feeling low AND left my phone at home so not to check it every 2 minutes.

I deserve more, and have been engaging in patterns to keep the more from coming my direction :(

Now, I'm going to go spend the $100 my bosses gave me this morning "just 'cause" and go get a mani-pedi (little bit of the pampering I could really use right now :)).

May1321,
Just hang in there. I am going through a break up of an almost 14 year marriage. Even though I am so sad about not being able to make it work, and I feel like I failure, I just couldn't take the abuse anymore. Remind yourself of the bad times when you are thinking about going back into a bad situation, ok? I promise to do the same!! We can do it and we deserve it!!!:tup:
