What Did You Do For You Today???

[Definitely..maybe]

@D123 I love that kind of weather too! Sounds so relaxing:) and I'm proud of you for eating- you deserve to eat a huge buffet if you want!

Thanks @Definitely..maybe! It was relaxing. It was nice yesterday. Today it's really bright and sunny and 23 degrees F (windchill is 9 degrees F), and while I love the cold, I really need a new winter jacket. I gave my good, warm one to my daughter last year because she wanted to wear it, and being the little kid she is, she kinda trashed it (I mean... that's okay, it's to be expected). But the wind cut right through the coat I was wearing, so my walk today was short. I don't love the bright sunlight either, even with sunglasses on. I would much rather have overcast days. I think I would make a good vampire. ;)

I was having a bad morning today, so I decided to go to Panera and Starbucks. Got a pecan roll and a hot chocolate. Definitely a splurge. I dunno. It's still a bad morning, but at least there are tasty snacks. ;)

I ate breakfast.

I got out of the house today. I was going to buy a serving platter and a bowl that closely matched my Christmas plates, but I decided to wait until I have more money next week. Why tightened this weeks funds when I can wait? That is good for me too. Cuts out the stress.

I ran 6 Kilometres, talked with a cute girl (a huge step :) ) and met a friend at the beach :)

So I can finally say that it was a good day :)

I thought things through.

I was kind to myself this morning, got up, showered, that sort of thing with minimal fuss, minimal rushing and minimal pressure. I have a lot I want to get done today, but I'm trying to be kind to myself and just get into a good mindset... I'll do the best I can and be happy with what I'm able to accomplish. I'm not going to run around like Martha Stewart on speed, I'm going to try to do this stuff like a normal person would, at a normal pace, with normal expectations. If everything doesn't get done today, that's okay, I can do more tomorrow and the next day. It's not a crisis, it's just chores. I'm going to remind myself all day, "Just relax, woman! Breathe!"

(Wow, so much fuss over chores and cleaning the house and getting ready for Christmas! It's just... now that I'm not using obsessive compulsiveness, perfectionism and busyness as coping mechanisms... I don't know how this is supposed to go. How do normal people get through this stuff without running around manic and crazy? I don't know... that's what I'm going to try to figure out today.)

@D123 You and me both! I love the overcast weather much better than any sun. So I'll do the whole vampire thing with ya!

I went out and visited friends.

Thought things through in more detail.

I was feeling a little blue so I gave myself some time to get out of the slump without cancelling any plans. I got out of the slump, so now I can go on with my plans. Relieved.
