Hi everyone :wave:
Marcie hope you feel better soon. I know how awful it feels to feel so down and not be able to see any light. Just hang in there.

Sweet_pea I hope your headache is going. Good luck with the paperwork. I have our taxes sitting in a bag waiting for me to finish.

Hi Marie and <3 and Campbellredhead - hope everything is going great and Marie hope you enjoyed your walk. DD14 wants to go out for a run with me tonight as she has a competition tomorrow and her class was cancelled. And since it was so yucky out this morning and I didn't get my walk I can't argue.

Very quiet day today. DD18 felt horrible so slept all day and I wasn't to far behind. Did a quick trip to the grocery store after DD14's weigh in. It was nice and quiet in there. I have a corn chowder stewing on the stove. A little high in fat (bacon) but ever so comforting when it feels cool and damp. DD16 requested it. (she can handle it she's 5'6" or 7" and only 116 pounds, I'd worry but she sure can eat (I'm just jealous!!!))
Oh boy, I got to go, DD14 is harping about the sun going down. Love her enthusiasm!!
Take care everyone and I hope you have a good night! It is Friday, that has to count for something!!
K

hi again

Keira hope you enjoy your run. the corn chowder sounds lovely. i never cook anything like that but i often buy a corn and bacon chowder. you don't have to worry too much about fat for kids. they have a higher need for fat than adults. obviously eating all fat would be bad but young active people are fine!!!

marcie - how was the skating? i think you were going to that today???

i am going to mow the lawns soon. the rain has been on and off this afternoon and we;ve had some sunshine in between so i've been doing some reading. i also had a hot chocolate - for purely medicinal purposes of course

Omg Sweetpea that picture of your golden is soooo cute!!!! You have a very pretty dog!

Hey everybody!! Marie - Yeah, I'm a senior. My year started out pretty decent, but this last winter was pretty rotten because of my severe depression. I think I'd been depressed to begin with but it got very severe after the death of one of my classmates who I'd known since kindergarten. I'd never had to deal with death much before, so it was rough. Lately, though, things have been pretty good!! Especially with our show choir's Variety Show coming up. It's my favorite performance of the year. In fact, I really don't like show choir much with the exception of this show. I get a solo this year, too, because I'm a senior. I'll be performing "Blue Orchid" by the White Stripes because it's not too hard and it lets me rock out while saying to everyone, "Hey, I'm a soprano and I can sing high!!" :)

Sweetpea - That is a gorgeous dog!! So cute!!

Today I actually ate at McDonald's. They have this new Asian chicken salad and it is SO good! Also, they've come out with this new "Get Active" meal where if you buy a salad and a bottle of water you get a little workout DVD. I got the yoga one, which I'll probably try out tomorrow. It should be interesting, anyway.

I hope everyone has a good weekend! ^_^

<3 that workout DVD sounds good. McD have been doing a lot here to promote their healthier options but that's one we don't have. i love the chicken royale burger. not sure you have those. it's a real chicken breast with salad and big chucks of carrot and stuff. it's not totally healthy but it's better than the other burgers plus we have the deli choices subs here at mcd that are quite nice

hi kristen nice to see you back here again...

ok got to go prep for open house. it's pouring with rain ugh. the leak in the garage will be obvious.

haha :rofl: someone forgot my instructions and opened the room at the book where the dogs live and got the fright of their lives when they rocketed out and made for freedom. i had to run and toss them back in and they weren't happy. lots of barking. so i had to feed them some biscuits thru the holes and they calmed down. what a hoot.

anyway lots of people. not sure whether they came to my advert or the other agents but all good! just had to print more flyers

Today’s open home was quite good – we had 5 groups of people through including the group that let the dogs out of their pen, much to their great excitement. Having the other open home across the road was a big help. Got lots of people off their open home. They are similar price. My house is $8,000 more so it’s basically the same type of buyers. Very pleased about it.

Exercise didn’t happen today. I got some activity cleaning but I only went for a short walk to the end of the street and deposited the dogs in the park then came home. Let’s just forget food for today! I have to get myself back on a proper schedule for eating. I am eating lunch at 3 or 4pm a lot of days and it mucks everything up. plus I am forgetting to give the dogs their lunch as my own timetable is so up the woopsie. I’d like to cut them back to 2 meals a day but right now jasmine needs 3 meals as she can’t eat a big enough meal for me to give her only 2 bowls of food. And of course saffie is very happy to help out with any leftovers if I give jasmine more than she can handle! Honestly she’s a worse scavenger than me. One good thing I got some lemons from a vacant section by the park. I’d like to get back to morning lemon juice and my own tree is empty now

I have been doing lots of reading lately and it is helping relax me a lot. I adore crime novels. One day i'd like to write one. Marie perhaps we can collaborate and I'll take all the glory :lol:

Okay, that works for me. I can collaborate and be a silent partner. I'm glad the ope house went good. Fresh lemons??? Do you make lemonade. Yummy!!

I didn't exercise this am since I ended up going walking yesterday late am around the 2 mile block with DS's GF and DGS. She had DGS in the stroller and I had three dogs. Quite a sight. So 5 miles for the day was too much. Since it's BEAUTIFUL out today, I figure we'll probably go again today so I'm not exercising before breakfast type of thing.

I started a drawing of DGS. I've never drawn people so it should be interesting. So far it looks good, but I've only got the outline in. The shading and stuff is what's going to be hard.

<3, I'm glad you're enjoying the end of your senior year. Death is pretty darn hard to deal with. Just when you think you're back on track, it springs up and memories fly. I don't know Blue Orchid. Maybe you should record it, put it into an mp3 and post it here. That would be cool, don't you think?

No big plans today. I defintely will be outside since there's hardly a cloud in the sky. YEAH!!!! Spring.
Marie

Sweetpea - We don't have that here!! I've noticed, though, that McDonald's in different countries and even different parts of countries have different menus. In Japan they had this delicious Teriyaki Burger that I loved, and they also had "Fish McDippers" which were like chicken nuggets but with fish and tartar sauce or wasabi sauce. When I went to New York they had things like cheese curds and sub sandwiches that we don't have here in MN. My friend who went to Italy said they had McToast over there. That would be cool!

Marie - I'll post my video after I preform it :) Yeah, things have been pretty good but I can't wait to graduate. I'm really sick of the high school drama. I often have a hard time dealing with that becuase I was an exchange student and we were told that when we came home we might have a hard time adjusting to high school life again after maturing so much when we were overseas. I never had too many problems with that immediately when I returned, but now it's sometimes pretty annoying. I hope college will be better!! Prom is next week, too. I'm sort of excited, and yet I don't much care, really. I'm only excited to wear my pretty new dress!!

I must've done waaaay too many squats yesterday because my legs are killing me!! I hope they'll be alright for practice this afternoon. Today's weigh-in was a good boost of confidence, though. I'm down another pound! So far I've yet to plateau or gain a pound, which is amazing to me. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, I guess!

Have a great day everyone <333

<3- I am sorry about your friends death and I hope you ahve an amazing prom!! I can't wait til mine but I am a freshman so I have a good amount of time to go.

<3, that makes sense that you'd have grown beyond the high school mentality after being an exchange student. I hated high school and left 5 months early. Then I came back for the graduation ceremony (thank you mom and dad) and was rebuffed by all the idiots. So I never looked back - college was way better. And the U of M will be great since it's so big and you get to be anonymous. That was my favorite feature of it.

And :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: on another pound loss. How about next time you don't hide it on me??? :D :D :D Just kidding, I haven't gained. I just know I haven't lost.

Kristen, just think how great you're doing towards your gaol. By the time you're ready to go to prom, you'll be sleek and divine and blow them all away.

I did have bad, bad, bad for lunch. It was good, good, good but no nutritional value (except the calcium in the ice cream). I had a small (yes it was small) hot fudge brownie sundae made with cookie dough ice cream. It was good and filling - about 500 calories. So calorie wise I'm up to 800 so far today which is fine, but the nutrition is in the hole.

The reason I did it is that I have my "treat" every evening after dinner. I like ice cream (the heck with being lactose intolerant) so I have a small sundae for dessert if I've been pretty good all day. Well dinner time has been getting later with the sun staying up longer and then I haven't wanted to have my treat and then I resent it for not being able to have it. So every once in a while, I'll have it even though I'm not hungry. Direct contradiction to my goal - and the goal is to eat only when hungry. So anyway I get my treat, fail at my goal OR I don't eat the treat and resent the heck out of it. So DS's GF suggested I have my treat for lunch instead. Seemed like a smart idea, so I did that. I think that will be good. Only draw back is that now I don't have anything to look forward to. I don't know, I think I'm nuts. Oh why can't I have my DS's metabolism????:?: :?: :?:

Well, that's it for now. I'll chat with you later.
Marie

hi everyone

i haven't seen much of mcd in other countries but i think they all have their own regional differences. i have to stop eating those darn burgers though, they're not good for me and i sometimes get tempted to add fries which is definitely not good.

i've never been to a prom. we didn't have them when i was at school altho one year we had a dance and i was supposed to go with my boyfriend and then he told me on the day that he couldn't go. i now know that was a "sign" that things were going south. it wasn't a big dress up affair though. maybe slightly dressed up? anyway i didn't want to go on my own so i stayed home. i've been to a ball once with my hubby when we were married and that's it!

marie - i;m not so sure about having a treat for lunch. everyone is different but i find eatttttttttttttting sugar at lunch triggers bad eating behaviouuuuuuuuuuuuur for me. gaaah i have to go can't stand it when keyboard plays up

later everyone

back againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
ugh this freaking keyboard.bang crassssssssssssssssh. that's the sound of me beating it into submission. wireless keyboards are great in theory!!!

marie - one day we'll write our novel. one other thing i'd like to do is write quirky tv shows like murphy brown, ally mcbeal, boston legal. i LOVE david e kelley's sense of humour it is fantastic

the lemons are for water with lemon juice to start my day. it helps me overcome my sugar cravings if i keep the astringent taste of lemon on my tongue. also i feel more "balanced" psychologically by the lemon - strange but true

marie good luck with the drawing. i'm looking forward to it!

<3 i bet you have lots of lovely toned muscles. i hear about all your exercise and think one day i will be nice and strong and fit. that would mean more to me than being slim. it would be great to be able to sign up for stuff knowing i can handle it.

kristen and everyone else. hope you're having a great day.

i'm a bit all over the place today. i go outside and read a few pages then run back inside. i'm a bit aimless and need to buckle down but i'm having trouble concentrating. it's strange weather right now. overcast and yucky with occasional spits. we are forecast for more stormy weather so i am getting outside while i can to get some daylight into my eyes. i often find a day of sunshine and reading a good book settles me down.

i might have dog obedience tonight if the weather holds. i have to confess i'm a bit ambivalent about it as we are moving to a new group with a new instructor. i'm sure she knows her stuff, it's her personality. she's always very stressed out and i'm the sort of person that is a psychic sponge so when i'm around stressed people it increases my anxiety. that's why i need lots of HAPPY friends!!! happy and upbeat friends and it brings it out in me...

SweetPea, I completely agree about having happy upbeat people to be around. I have a co-worker that is son negative, I just don't want to be around her. She's alwasy b*tching about something. Dog obedience? I definitely need to do that with Kody. But the cost of gas these days, adding a $6 round trip cost weekly for the classes is too much. I really hate the cost of gas. So Kody will stay ignorant for now.

Lunch treat - it sure worked yesterday. Wow. I had my treat and got a little hungry about 4 pm, and had a string cheese for some protein. Then we had dinner and no dessert. I was good yesterday calorie wise. But I don't think I could do it daily. Eventually I'd be sugar crazed and that wouldn't be good.

It's gorgeous out again today, so DH and I are taking the doggies out for a hike. It'll be great.

TTYL.
Marie

morning all

i'm glad the sugar treat worked for you, but i know for me it would just start me on a big binge - which is exactly what happened yday. the rain came down as predicted so no obedience but i hope to go for a walk. okay scratch hope. i WILL go for a walk this afternoon after the people come to look at the house. everything is still up in the air for the sale to the other people. not to worry, i have nowhere to move at this time anyway. altho i am still waiting to hear if the house i like in auckland sold. hopefully i will get a reply soon and then i can go see if it is as nice in real life as it is in the pictures

a negative co-worker would annoy me too. that's one good thing about working alone :D

hi there

i had 2 sets of people thru and they both seem pretty interested, plus a chap who came last week is coming back tmrw. 1 person mentioned that they weren't sure they wanted to live at a house #13 - funny world huh

anyway off to a friend's place with the dogs. they are going to play with her dog while we natter. sounds good to me

Good morning everyone :wave:

Pretty quiet around here. At least the sun is out and it finally feels like spring. Our snow is almost gone, so now just have to wait for the ground to dry out.
Weekend was busy as DD14 had her judo tournament. She had five fights in two divisions. She didn't manage to win any, but did get a silver medal anyway. It was a tough day for her as they put her in her tough division first, so her first fight she had to tap out as she was getting choked (she just learned a few choke holds and is new to using and avoiding them) then her second fight she twisted her ankle and pulled a ligament. So she had to get taped up to carry on. She's doing alright now, just a little tender and swollen. I don't know why anyone would enjoy going into something that results in so many injuries, but they seem to have fun.:shrug:
I've just been puttering around, not getting a whole lot accomplished. DD16 is on her third or fourth day of a migraine, not to sure how to help her. Telling her that it gets easier when she gets older isn't much help for the pain right now. Poor kid.
Anyway I'm off to fold laundry and read a bit. DD18 took cough syrup and is now passed out. No wonder I don't feel up to doing much being surrounded by all these "sickies";) Oh well, just that time of year.

Take care everyone and have a great day,
K

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing good. SweetPea, it's pretty amazing how much interest your house is generating. It'll probably sell quickly given the interest. I like the idea of #13 scarring someone away. I probably would have thought about the unlucky number but it wouldn't have a say in my choice.

Keira, did your DH make it home this past weekend? I totally agree on the injuries and fun. I hate pain. I used to rollerblade all the time and then fell pretty severely. I've been tentative since and made it not nearly as enjoyable. Same with biking. I had a good accident about 7 years ago that left scars on my face so I'm reminded of it daily. biking isn't as fun either. So now I'm walking. Wait till I trip and break a leg - I'll probably quit then too. :) BTW, one of the accidents (bike) was because I was an idiot. The rollerblading one I was just an idiot because I wasn't wearing a helmet (haven't rollerbladed without one since so I do learn lessons).

Enjoy the pretty weather Kiera. It's nice here too.
Marie

Amazing news!!! the tax investigation is over and i am in the clear. they accepted all my figures and told me about something i could claim but didn't know that i could claim a portion of the expense. hallelujauh (sp) what a happy day

on top of that the sun is shining and i am doing a wee happy dance :cb: of joy. i still feel wretchedly tired and am a bit down but this is good news and i plan to milk it and ride it and focus on the good stuff and hope that will override the hormones or whatever the lil devils are :devil: that try and drag me down. NO i say i will fight you. how's that. i just hope i can keep fighting when i walk past mcd as i am very partial to their ice creams.

i'm off now to get a salad or something else healthy to eat as my celebratory lunch

keira - i bet you're pleased the snow is gone. i love spring time. it's the best time of the year. it's autumn here but after some nasty rain we have had a couple of sunny days. looks like it might rain later but for now i am going to put the washing out and grab a good book and enjoy the outdoors. Sounds like it is hard work for you looking after your children when they're sick but as you say it gets better. migraines *ouch* does she have any pills to take for it? i used to be given voltaren. apparently they work better than traditional migraine pills

marie - isn't this good we're all having nice weather.............. DO NOT go and trip over while you're walking that would be no fun at all. actually i don't know how you handle 3 dogs on leads for walking i struggle enough with 2 and one of them is very good on the lead so it's really only 1 trouble maker.

I am SOOOO much better. I have had 2 really good days. Still having trouble with focusing, so doc is tweaking around my meds a bit. Also giving me something to calm me down and help me sleep.

Hope everyone is well!! When I am able to concentrate, I'll catch up on all the posts. Just wanted to say hi.

Hello everyone,
i'm still not doing so good, called the doctor today, but i might have to look for a new doctor, she doesn't seem confident, which makes me less confident.
She recommended me taking Klonopin every night like 2 hours before bed.
And to go down to 75 mg of effexor, now i'm on 150, we'll see.

I guess i have to do it, try to get my butt in gear and join curves,
go get a pair of sneakers, i don't own any, i hate them, get a sports bra, and a pair of jogging pants-and hope and pray that it will help in many different ways.

I gained 4 1/2 pounds of the 7 i lost.
Today i didn't do too bad, but i had a chocolate bar after dinner, after my fat free fudge pop, and earlier my serving of baked chips, was more like 2 1/2 servings. could have been worse, could have been better.

Tried tonight to talk to husband, again he listened but didnt' have much to say. He was in the mood, but when i am, he isn't, and i'm sorry since i've been depressed my desires are few in that category, and normally, i'm a horn dog*S*

I hope you are all well.

God Bless you all

hi everyone :wave:

marcie - that's fantastic you're starting to feel better and are keeping in touch with the doc about the meds. very promising!!!

jenny - changing docs might be a good idea, it often helps. i take the klonopin sometimes to help me sleep or when i've very agitated and found it helped altho i took it much closer to my bedtime. it's not a long lasting drug so i was told to take an hour before bed. did your doc tell you to be careful reducing the efexor? some people have side effects when reducing the dose. there is a way of titrating it in water to reduce gradually or you can pour some of the contents out of the capsule to reduce it over a few days

i went for a walk with the dogs and it wasn't a success. i'm emotionally exhausted and physically even tho we didn't walk far. i am thinking i might have to set up my dvd and do some richard simmons tapes or maybe the watp. the richard simmons is to disco music which could be good but my tv is in a bedroom and i'm not sure i'll have room to move and do the exercises??? anyway walking with the dogs is off the list for a while arggggggh :devil:

jenny i hear good things about curves. maybe it would be worth giving it a go. as for the desires... hmmm yes casn definitely relate to not being in the mood when things aren't going so well

Okay SweetPea, why is the walking off with the doggies? They need to walk too - gentle reminder. I used to like Richard Simmons but I bought a couple of his more recent stuff and he drove me nuts. I like Sweatin' to the Oldies 2 the best.

Jenny, it does sound like changing drs. would be a good idea. At least get a second opinion.

Marcie, I hope the good trend continues. Good for you working more with your dr.

Things are good and I'm on track with food. I stepped on the scale yesterday and it knocked some sense into me.
Marie

hey all. the dogs get LOTS of exercise running up and down the fencline barking, playing with each other and chasing balls. right now my sanity is more important. i wanted to smack jasmine so i won't walk while i feel that frustrated. i'll wait until i hve someone to walk with me and take 1 lead or in a few days when i feel better.

marie glad you're on track with food. i did well yday and went binge free. today will be hard but each day is. just keep on trucking

holy crap it is pouring down here. i mean torrential and thunder, yuck yuck

i have to go out soon but am waiting for my lawyer to call. i have someone who wants to make me an offer tonight or tmrw morning to buy the house. i could be celebrating soon gals :cheers:

Hi everyone,
Congrats Sweet_pea on the tax thing being over and the offer on your house.
Marcie glad you are feeling better, hope it stays with you.
marie glad to hear that you are back on track. And stay on your feet while walking.
Campbell hope you feel better soon.

Not much new here. Hubby did make it home Sat night. And surprisingly he is here again tonight. He was going to just stop in, but decided to get an early start and sleep in his own bed tonight. DD16 still has her headache. She doesn't have any special drugs, just tylenol. But if this keeps on I think she will have to go in and see someone. Last year she stood up and passed out. We got her to the hospital and they didn't really know what the problem was, but did the standard migraine protocol. My grandfather use to pass out from migraine pain as well. My other two girls are doing alright starting to get better. I slept all day as I've been taking my full dose of paxil and it knocks me out. I'm trying to get up the nerve to go to mental health and see about some counselling to stop the OCD, but haven't gotten there yet. I mentioned it to my doctor and he just suggested upping my paxil dosage. Which is silly since I can't take a full dose all the time as it is. I'll get it figured out one day.
Well I should go and head off to bed,
Take care all and have a great day,
K

i do hope the house sells and that the buyer is able to arrange finance. that would be great altho it will mean starting the house hunting and packing and all those other things all over again. ugh ugh

counselling does sound like it might be a better option than the meds. esp as meds only stop OCD while you're taking them. if you stop taking them the symptoms usually return. counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy are probably your best chances of making long term change

i think docs are very ignorant of just how tiring meds are. some people do fine but i know i slept a lot extra when i was on pills. the doctor said i could overcome the sleepiness and drowsinessbut i didn't find that true at all.

the migraine sounds pretty serious if your DD passed out. that's a new one on me. sounds like a good idea to get that checked out too

hope you enjoyed your time with hubby at home. have a nice day/night

Hey everyone. Things haven't been too hot for me recently. I got my period early again, and considering I had it two weeks in a row last month and now, two and a half weeks after htat, I have it again, my dermatologist has taken me off the pill. My hormones are all over the place and my depression and anxiety have returned in full force. I've eaten four days worth of food in two days and on top of the usual bloating I feel really fat. I've missed school and now I'm probably going to drop out of my choir variety show becuase I can't handle the practice schedule right now.

What makes it all so much worse is that my mom gets so upset when I'm like this. She tries so hard but her efforts are often fruitless. I wish I were stronger sometimes...

Hi everyone :wave:

Thought I would just drop in and say a quick hello.
Haven't done much today except some laundry ect. One good thing is that I am still awake. I only had a half dose last night. My stomache has been in knots for most of the day though, I sure hate that. Did go for a walk this morning and I'm trying to keep track of what I'm eating. Trying desperatly to stay out of the tortilla chips. Dog had a bath today and now he's chasing the rabbit around the living room, can we say "zoo"!:dizzy:

<3 hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm off, take care everyone,
K

hi negotiating house sale so i'll come back later when sorted!

take care of yourself everyone

ok i have made a conditional sale on the property but it hasn't been signed yet.

more details to sort out over the weekend and get it signed (i hope)

Congratulations Sweet Pea, let us know how it goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I slept better last night, i wasn't up till the wee hours, and i feel better this morning, hopefully this will continue. Before last night , i haven't slept good for like 2 weeks, and have been exhausted all day, because of it...

Doctor cut my effexor in 1/2 150-75, only been a few days,
hopefully i won't have any problems*crosses fingers*
God Bless you all

jenny - glad things are going well for you

my sleep is a mess at the mo. hopefully it will come right soon. it was really good for a few days but it slipped

Hi sweet pea,
i wouldn't say things are going better, but thanks for the vote of confidence.
Had a rough day, guess it didn't start till around 4pm,
I invited 2 of Olivias friends to come over, and she isnt' the best kind of friend, at age 5, sharing all that fun, i tried to guide her to help her interact.
Friends left, olivia didn't want to clean up, i had already cleaned most of it.
I know she was tired, but she never admits it,
she was very whiny and such,
my husband came home, and gave me attitude after my day,
so i didn't eat with the family, i surfed the net while they ate, then after they ate, i put in a movie.
I'm at a point in my life, a position that i chose, meaning my husband, marriage, move, but when i chose, i didn't know the results, i haven't even been married 2 years till August, and i'm scared that i've messed the rest of my life. I'm sad, and lonely, and feeling like a failure, that about describes me lately. God Bless you all.

we all have periods like that jenny - the thing is to work out what you want to do about it and do some small things to get better. it's hard, and often a step forward and a step back but over time things start to improve.

maybe go back to church and see if you can find someone there to talk to

good luck!

my headache is back but i will book in again for bowen. it cleared it temporarily so i think if i go back it may just get it right long term. it's great i can just walk there. it's about 0.5km so it's easy peasy. no mucking around getting the car out of the gate or parking. i love being able to walk places. something i will keep in mind when choosing the next place

i have 2 places locally to go look at and then next week or the week after i will go down to auckland and look there as well. i need more money to buy in auckland but it has more to offer so it will be worth it if i find the right place.

i've lost 2 lb so i am trying to be sensible and not put it straight back on (which is what i usually do). i see the weight loss and think oh i can relax and then ooops that wasn't a good idea LOL

i have dancing scheduled today. i will put on music and dance in the lounge ;)

SweetPea - Congrats on the weight loss!! You can do it :)

I'm having a much better day today. I should! It's prom day!! I'm really excited. I think it'll be a lot of fun, and my dress is very pretty. That's about all for now, I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!

Oh yeah, I saw "Silent Hill" last night, and it was really good!! It's scary and creepy, but it's got an awesome plot and a surprising ending. If you don't mind scary movies you'll really enjoy it!

i don't like scary movies :rofl: but glad you enjoyed it

have fun at the prom

I'm going to church this morning. Ya know? That building full of people!
I've been right on with my meds for a couple of months. I feel good. I have a time based plan for getting dressed and ready to go. My husband is there already and has no tasks so he's going to sit with me through the whole service.
I'm OK. It should be fine.

Susan I hope the day goes well for you. Good on you for making a plan and getting out there! I'm sure it will be a very supportive and welcoming environment:D

Hey everyone :) I hope you're all doing well. The prom was a lot of fun!! My date kinda uh, switched dates with me because he obviously really liked this other girl, and I ended up being with the guy I'd asked in the first place (he's a good friend of mine) so that was okay. I didn't care either way, and I got to slow dance with my crush. Ha, wow, I feel like such a silly high school kid. I spoke in German a lot, too, for some reason. Maybe I'm subconsciously really excited to go to Germany? Or maybe not so subconsciously? :P

Weigh in day. I'm down another pound!! I got lucky there, I think, because I had a couple bad days last week where I ate too much. I'm happy about it, though. I got a lot of compliments last night about my thinning figure, too. It was a definate confidence booster :)

I hope everyone has a good day!! <3
