I play a game with myself - I email myself a list, walk around the store shopping from memory and only then check the list. If I "get" most of the items, it is gratifying. Every little bit of fun helps...

What is funny is I do have a list on my smartphone and it keeps growing. When manic I get grand ideas about cooking interesting dinners (Thai, Indian). I and sit there for hours looking at cookbooks and adding to my ever growing list. It the the problem of actually getting the food then cooking it. I am a very good cook when I am not depressed. (wow I gave myself another compliment) I will have to put that one on the fridge). Now i just need to get to the dang store. I am not sure when the ex shops, but i think Sunday mornings would be a good time to make a dash to the store since he is at church...I really hate that he had to move so close with his fiance. I am afraid to go out on my porch for fear of seeing him/them drive by. When i do it feels like the world is closing in on me. Sorry, did not mean to go in to that.
Goal :
Shopping this Sunday!
