What Did You Do For You Today???

I borrowed money from my boys, with their permission of course, and bought myself a new laptop, reasonably priced. My other laptop was on it's last leg and kept shutting down. My laptop is my connection to the world. Not sure what I would do without one. Thankfully my boys were fine about it or I wouldn't have been able to buy one. I'm very fortunate.

My life has been "crazy" since the beginning of the year, and I have not kept up with housework, or done much of anything for myself.

Yesterday, I went for a walk and even jogged a little - I want/need to increase my level of physical activity. I cleaned/straightened all the rooms in my home, went through the piles of papers (and bills) and now have a nice, neat desk with four files of items that need attention. Today, I'll address matters in two of the four file folders, then swim a few laps in the pool at my complex, and I plan to make myself a nice dinner and sit down at the dinning table and eat it like a "normal" person :-)

I'm recovering from recent surgery and a hospital stay of 7 days. So I just slept all morning. It helped.

I meditated though it didn't feel successful today.

After trying to make sense of the conversation that I had at the store today with the husband of my neighbor, I called a friend who knows both parties involved. I knew that I could tell her the details and I would be okay with confiding in her.

I'm glad that I didn't tell this neighbor guy the truth about what happened so many years ago. I don't think I was supposed to and he would not have understood.

So today, after a very revealing conversation with someone, I reached out to someone to help me through it!

I had the girls last night so we had to get up early to get them ready for school. I will start a grief group on Tuesday afternoon. I made myself some coffee and went online. I went and asked my neighbor to come over and fix my broken closet doors and help me out.

I called a friend and got cheered up. I saw my daughter this morning. I had a good visit with her yesterday. I had the girls last night which was great. I am feeling so much better today. My phone keeps ringing.

I gave myself, permission, to take an afternoon nap, when I got home, from the dentist. To clean my system, from the anxiety that I have with my quartly visits.

I made myself some coffee, took a shower and ran my errands and got them over with. I am taking myself to a grief group.

Today is, a day for paying back some of my sleep debt, and trying to keep warm.

Decided to contact the counselor I have seen in the past to go over the conversation that I had this past weekend with the neighbor's husband.

The counselor was booked up this week as she is getting ready to leave on vacation, but she did call me and we talked about it that way. I'm glad that I did this as I did need some emotional support from her.

I've taken a shower and a nap.

Grief group went well. I treated myself to Jack in the box afterward and I called my daughter and my friend.
