Sandra, you are one of my best cyber friends. I miss you too when you aren't around. 18 days already? WOW....I can't wait to hear the results. Do you feel good?
The grandkids spent the night. At least they were exhausted. Their Nana was exhausted and aggravated and let everyone know it.
Honestly, the parents of 3 of the 7 kids wanted to know when the kids were eating, what they were eating and what movie I had chosen. Man, if they were so worried, why did they let them come over in the first place? It does turn out that their mother has some serious "control issues." No joke! Poor kids. I sent those parents out to a movie while their kids were here, saying "go have a date" and your kids will be just fine. (They didn't know me, but they know my niece very well and she was here with us, having invited them in the first place.)
OK, I promise, no more about this. Except I did notice how very quickly I wanted to just eat everything in sight. Talk about "control issues"!!!! I've obviously got my own to deal with.
Rhonda, I do the same. My brain sends the message, "Retreat to the kitchen. Regroup!" It's amazing what stress can trigger, isn't it?
We're up and ready for church. We're visiting our grands this afternoon, then this evening a gf is coming over for us to train together. Tomorrow I go to the pain management specialist for the first time. I'm guessing we'll set a date for an injection.
Rhonda, since I've been on JC, I've really noticed how stress and lack of control sends me running to the comfort food. I still do it but at least I realize that I am and trying to at least control the volume. I want to hear more of the story!
No pool today. It's going to storm for the next couple of hours and then Jim and I will watch the Sox game. They are playing the hated Cubs!
Well, it's simple I think. I'm realizing that when I have lots of people in my house, as I have had recently, and I don't know what's happening everywhere, I am not as relaxed as I'd like to be. It's as if I need to check constantly that everything is fine everywhere. It's neurotic, actually. I'll have to get over it. And, I definitely have to get over reaching for food to calm myself. I should just drink water: think how healthy that would be!
It might be influenced by the fact that I am used to small quarters where you actually can see almost everything that is happening. Here, you would have to be on constant alert and securing the perimeter!!
Rhonda. You are so cute. I love your sense of humor.
with that whine ? "
