Natalie's Mom~ I have journalled every day for almost 2 years but it was random blathering. This model helps me sort my tought a day. I am LOVIN it. I comfort eat too. Sorry for your lonliness.HUGS! Your DD is an angel.
H-ko~ Chaucer, yikes. That is some heavy interpretive reading before bed. Hope you got a good nights sleep.
RNMOM~ I admire your dedication to going for a run!!
We had our first full day of using the fire place! I love having a fire going. We heat all winter with it.
I have heard 4 times so far today from DH, “you are in my space, please get out of my space.” LOL! I really needed to be alone last night, which I had to reinforce a few times with him. I suppose this is his passive agressive way of telling me he is miffed or maybe he just loves me and is reminding me he respected my wishes....at least he did it. Yippee.

10.General feelings about food, exercise, life.~ I have been reading and rereading the SB book. At times I feel sad and depressed about it. there are things that I have eaten for years in an attempt to lose weight that are very high glycemic. They are things I cant stop eating and binge on so it all makes perfect sense. I have done better with food choices all day long. I need to focus better on the evenings. My choices then are better too but not necesary.
~I want to walk 20 min a day, probably at night. Our road is unsafe(trucks) so I will have to drive to another town. ~life is good.
11. Any really good events or feelings today.~ yes! - had a good breaky. Ds came to the farmers market with me( against my true desire) and when he got silly I drove him home. We both handled it well . I still had 2 hours there without kids. Nice.- we drove to the lake to get the TV. DH wasn’t a knob about any of it. He can get rammy about logistics,moving etc. He was great. Had a quick, nice visit with my folks. Very pleasant.DD and I stayed home from hockey. She was monumentally sulky but then I noticed she was warm. She has a low fever so is fighting something. Instead of doing dishes we cuddled til the boys came home. We enjoyed the new HUGE TV. I tidied the livingroom and rearranged a bit of furniture. Kids went to bed well. I watched all my TLC shows til 11. I LOVE the Saturday night line up. DH wanted to watch hockey. * must buy the 2nd receiver for the “old” TV for upstairs. It will cost less than $100 for a major conflict resolver. What a blessing. I slept for 8.5 uninterupted hours!!!!!
12. Overall, how did the day go.~ It was all nice!!!
13. How can I improve for tomorrow.~ no bedtime snack.
Today we have church. I need to deliver 3 Avon orders. Much tidying to do around the house. I am looking forward to it. I dug up some periwinkle from my folks I need to plant. If the housework is done early enough I will work at cleanig up the gardens for winter!!!
Feeling refreshed!!!

More later!
I was going to take Hershey but she looked so comfy curled up beside the woodstove that I just left her! Lucy is still not her "normal" self but we'll see what tomorrow brings.
I really don't think she has a UTI because she is not asking to go out or having accidents.
I think I am invited up to Liz's house for lunch but it was rather tentative and I've not heard from her. Oh well, it's always great to have two pies in the freezer. Actually three because I have an apple one too. We're big on pie in the country. Luckily I can ignore pie!
I had an apple, AND a cider donut. I'm back on today, but will stay on Phase one for at least another week. I probably undid all the good I've done in the past 2 weeks, now to start over.
pea soup. The bucket was passed, if there was $500.00 in the bucket, he'd eat a bowl of pea soup. Well, he choked it down, and what a good sport he is for doing that.
and thank him!

, I am allergic to fungus! Mold! It's been wet and rainy here with a cold front that moved in. Everytime that happens I feel like crap. Probably let loose tons of spores that haven't been able to go anywhere due the dry weather lately.
