Positive things I've done today #3 :)

Ate yogurt instead of chocolate pudding

Ate cheese instead of cake.

Seems like a small thing but it is actually quite a big thing! Congrats!!!

Kudos to you on making such a healthy choice!

I have to give you really big congratulations on the ironing! I don't think I've ironed anything in at least five years. And a double congratulations on doing your laundry, I just recently did 6 loads and that was only because I finally ran out of anything clean to wear. It was hard, hot, and of course time consuming but the interesting thing was by the time I was finished I actually felt pretty good about myself. Definitely a big accomplishment! Congratulations, once again ������!!!!!

it's too early to say much, but:

eaten my healthy breakfast of strawberries and a smoothy

given the dog it's pill (i'll post about what happened to our dog in my own thread)

finished off another book

Bought some arnica for my pain.

I called up my boss.

Took a shower. Finally. Didn't buff or shave or even dry my hair, but I'm clean. Also I made the conscious decision to wear jeans and a tshirt over pajamas since I actually have to go in and get a new tire. No bra, but the clothes were pushing it, so...you know.

Not sure yet,,gotta find it quick, more negatives than positives so far....

(@SillyKitty, if you have quirms about getting a virtual hug, you can let me know..and 'quirms', it is a word, isn't it?)

Remembering those times when I couldn't get myself up to dress,, and I'm feeling okay right now, that's not enough positive, ,,I'll be getting ready myself for work and I need a defensive ideas/thoughts/force, whatever I can get my hands on to get through the day and come out positively. I promise, I'll do positive today.

watched double emmerdale.

eaten my strawberries for breakfast.

scored 7 out of 10 on my trivia

not harmed myself

Put in my weekly two hour shift at the animal shelter.

so,,looks like writing a bit of dark thoughts here is okay then?

last night, i had to put 2.5hrs of overtime at work, no pay as usual. I still couldn't finish my work, which I usually get done, but this is like a insane busy season 'cos of summer break for school kids and, long story short, I was standing/working there only with my strength of my own mind, if it weren't there/here with me, I'd be having a complete meltdown, my physical body would be a carcass, with a cold heart beating the last rhythm of my heart, which ironically would be warm, my real self or something..

'Positive things I've done today'

I don't know what to say that. Evil twin was there, I barely dodged it. All the connections that had to happen to put me in this very moment, is that a destiny, was that destined to make that connections, the right passage way in my neurons? I do not know what makes my brain think which pathways are right or wrong. The same intelligence, and the same knowledge/memories can take both ways, equally and somehow, we often make the right choices for ourselves.

(*I'm having a tiny smile here. The connection just happened*)

I enforced it, I went to visit a young coworker of mine who was about to leave the job yesterday, I needed to have someone to chat with. He let me know that he wasn't quitting, and what did I do? Even without thinking, I grabbed his hands and congratulated him. In retrospect, I was glad that he wasn't gonna get lost in his life.

Now I'm thinking that we all need a lot of positives in our lives to sustain us, as I said earlier, the other side are right beside us all the time. You don't have to like the people you don't like. If you don't like yourself so much for whatever reasons, how ever rational they may seem, you can work on that.

(Just so you know, this writing, I did this right after I called my boss like 6 in the morning after 2hrs of sleep, and ,,,the timing of series of events and my self-consciousness, POSITIVES! o man, coffee's kicking in. I just underlined it so that I could dig some more good **** in that word, if you don't see any positive things I did in this, you're an idiot. )

(Note to self:,,,,nah, just some **** that I want to jot down 'cuz I feel like it.:

"Nobody asked me if I'm okay........Difficult as it sounds............")

Virtual hugs are great! It's the real ones that freak me out. lol

Went to Walmart, the garden centre, the thrift shops, and to the doctor. That kept me going all day

ate my strawberries for breakfast

scored 4 out of 10 on my trivia (only 4, but that's still good)

watched emmerdale

started a christmas list (i'm so excited that it's almost autumn, no more summer!)

Just started my first clerical job in 10 years. Part time, but quite a challenge for me.

Took my daughter out for coffee, then to ice skating.

Walked my dog

Walked my dogs. Went to the bank. Of course did these activities after dark and drove though the bank. Still...

Called my bank to have an overdraft fee reversed and dispute the charge from the company that caused it.

Made 2 Dr appt.'s today

Called around to find low cost spaying & neutering for my 4 legged best friends.

No Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore and never want to be again!!! Called Kansas Hwy Patrol about two speeding tickets from 3 yrs ago about paying them. They have to be paid by October or The Great State of Texas won't renew my license.

And last but not least, I painted my bathroom over the last two days a really pretty Teal color that I made myself out of a large can of white paint then adding different shades of blue & green until I got just the color I wanted. It's the 1st time I've ever painted a room of any kind.

I think I'll sleep in tomorrow ��

I scrubbed my bathroom from top to bottom!
