It's a snow/sleet mix hitting us right now. I don't mind it though -- I have nowhere to go or anywhere to be. I'll just curl up with some hot chocolate and enjoy my day. I haven't done much today, but it's a Sunday so I always pretend I have an excuse to be lazy today :P. I had a really nice lunch my mom prepared today, it's a quick alternative to a more laborious meal of round steak and gravy. We used pre-cooked hormel beef tips you just warm up in the microwave, eggs noodles, mashed potatoes, dressing, and peas. It's not quite as good as mom's authentic dish, but it's close enough to make you smile! [the gravy obviously has much more body and flavor in my mom's dish -- this is essentially just au ju to go over the noodles and meat, but again it does the trick].

Broken record over here, but it's something of gratitude to be feeling OK. My medicines have been a true game changer for me and I am grateful for them. I still have issues with accepting "Do I really need these?"-- for every last one of them, for that matter. I don't guess I'll ever feel 100% sure but if it's working then there is reason to consider it. That's just the way I have to see things. I always feel like I have to justify every medicine I take and to everyone. I know that's not the case but knowing even family members would have a hard time accepting any/all my diagnoses let alone any of my meds is a hard thing to deal with at times. But, again, the only thing that matters is feeling better. Feeling better if half the battle in a lot of manner of speaking. I need to make a list of things I need to work on, and things I have made progress with, and things I need to do. I may do that today. Example: My weight is closer to my ideal weight this week and I am motivated to keep it, or continue towards, my goal. [progress]. I need to reschedule my appointment with my therapist because I had to cancel due to a family emergency [things to do], and I need to clean my room and wash my hair, both can be a real chore [things to work on]. (guess I've got that done! haha).



I hope everyone is having a good day. There is a Golden Girls marathon playing in memory of Betty White since her birthday is this week -- I thought of you Moutaindewed because I know you've mentioned her a few times. Everyone loved that woman, she was a treasure to us all! I might just binge watch a few seasons myself
