I seem to have snapped out of my weekend slump. I just got spooked by technology a bit on Thursday so I didn’t want to use my phone much for a few days. Also my nephews were over and then I had those cramps yesterday. But today I feel ok both physically and mentally and I haven’t started reading yet. I went to the gas stations I frequent to pick up some more 20oz bottles of soda. I was mainly looking for the new Halloween Mountain Dew but I couldn’t find it. But I got my regular sodas. I also found some other Halloween stuff like that line of monster Halloween kids cereal. Count Chocula and the other kinds. I got some Halloween Reese’s too. I don’t decorate or anything like that for Halloween but I do like all the food and snacks and stuff that come out at that time. And I like the smell of pumpkin spice so my room smells like that often year round.

My Oreo chewlery necklace came yesterday. I tried it today and it works pretty well but I don’t really want to wear it yet even though I can just put it under my shirt. My mom knows about the weighted stuff and the headphones but I feel weird having her know that I also have an oral fixation as well. But I don’t know why. I’ve been drinking out of my Gatorade water bottle a lot and if she thinks that’s strange she hasn’t said anything. I said I needed to get to Walmart to buy a water bottle because my therapist recommended it. And she just said “ok. Whatever”

But yeah so far I’m doing good. Although I didn’t take my Valium at 8:30 so I’m hoping my anxiety doesn’t blow up in my face later.
