Positive things I’ve done today

I went through all my voting guide stuff to decide how I'm going to vote tomorrow & cooked lunch.

I paid my rent up to jan, canceled the paper and put my library holds on suspended. Getting ready to take off for my home state for thanksgiving and Christmas.

Today I walked away from a situation that made me really angry.
I went into the bathroom and stayed there until I calmed down

Made breakfast, voted & took funny pictures of my cat.

The greens

Had hotdogs for lunch, and I only ate one.
For me, one hotdog is a victory
I am usually a 2 or 3 dog person

I put the empty Coke bottles in the recycle bag and got them out of the way.

Today I bought myself a new winter coat, cleaned my bedroom and the kitchen, went for a walk, ate healthy, and had NO ANXIETY. I went out in public and had no problems as far as that went. I did my makeup and hair nice too. And took a nice shower. I FEEL REALLY GOOD TODAY. IT HAS BEEN GOOD! I also drew some gesture drawings in my sketchbook and it's been FOREVER since I've drawn anything.

I think it is SO important, regardless if we're in a high or a low, to recognise what we did throughout the day, even if it's just something small and simple. It counts.

I took 2 mini walks in my apartment so far today.

I took out all the recycling and all the garbage, including used cat litter. I wrote to my Dad.

Excellent!
This is great

Took a shower, washed my hair & talked to my Grandmother.

Cleaned the house.

Cried with a family member. Life is so hard

Sent faxes that needed to be sent. Dropped off the temp disability form for the pdoc to sign at the clinic.

Paid bills for the month

I dropped my gifts off to Santa's Helpers.
I buy stuff throughout the year so it not super expensive all at once

I took out garbage and loaded the DW. Gearing up for cleaning - a girlfriend of mine (a former coworker) is coming for lunch on the weekend and i need to the place to be presentable.

Showered (sacred bovine that's 2 days in a row), washed a load of sheets, took my meds & vitamins & did my exercises.

I finished a big project. A psychologist is finishing a report on the situation with my kids (they live with the day who basically alienated them in a major way) and I submitted pictures to prove him wrong. 30 photos total, with annotations. E.g. he claims I was abusive and the pictures show the exact opposite - happy cubs with their mother bear. Or the mother's day gifts - one says "best mom ever" and another says "thank you for helping in kindergarten and picking me up from school" - guess what, I did all of that while working full time and the then H played videogames all day long. I feel so stupid for letting the situation go that far, but at least now I am taking the right steps in the right direction.

I found pictures - they were all over the place - organized, commented, etc.

DONE!

My reward is a trip to Walmart. I will get the degreaser recommended by Christina and just look around. I like looking around in big stores where there is no sales pressure and you can "window shop" to your heart's content.

When I was on my walk this morning I stopped and admired the moon.
So beautiful
I thanked her for giving me light on my walk

I ran a 16x300 meter repeat workout with my friends on the track at my school. Really a nice way to end the week.

It is not something I have done, but what I am going to do. I will walk to my weekly anxiety group therapy. I have group on Fri evenings. 50 minutes walking one day. So I will do almost 2 hours of walking. I will have the FitBit on and I bet today I will exceed the 10K step goal which is good because I have been quite sedentary lately. If it goes well, I will make it a weekly habit.

Also, I had a good talk with my childhood friend, did a load of dishes, made a yummy lunch for myself, and cleaned 2 out of 4 of my countertops with a degreaser and a lot of elbow grease. Probably first cleaning in 2+ months. Will do more cleaning once I come back from the group. Oh, I will be walking in my vibrams - the shoes that have a compartment for each toe. Supposedly it is very healthy. So, lots of positive things today.

Gave ruby a belly rub and thanked her for being my friend. Put in place some plans for a suprise getaway for our anniversary next weekend.

Ruby's eyes are sooo expressive!
