Since I am pensioned I only work or study a few hours a week (for the time being giving myself a break). This gives me some time to enjoy breakfast. I feel it is a great start on the day to have the time I want at the breakfast table. I go through some stuff from the Bible and read newspapers. When I worked 100 % there was never time to enjoy the food and the coffee. I was running half asleep up the stairs (kitchen and living room at the first floor) clicked on the coffee machine's on-button and fell down on a chair. Only 20 minutes later I was in the shower and then on my way to work ... To become older has some really good beneficial "things" attached to it. I try to let it become a habit to do gymnastics and read my "be in the here and now" techniques before I take a daily walk. Today I met a man a few years older the me who complained about that age had robbed from him his good balance. We started to speak because it was so windy that it almost became comic. I thought him some exercises for balance right on the spot. It is good when something fun and unsespected happens! I wish you a really good day!

I’m glad I have my group (for now). I realized I’m not going to get the answer I want out of my brother because he’ll never admit that he straight up will not help and I’m never going to believe his excuses when he inevitably backs out so I’m not going to worry about it. I’m going to focus on what I personally can do and if it takes a year to get my mom’s move completed than that’s it. I have to care for myself as well.
I still want to get the garage done asap before it gets too hot. I mean if that can be sort of a “staging area” that would be great. We could move donations out there and schedule pickups as needed. I don’t even think one room at a time is gonna work here if me and RS are on our own. So I’m not going to put a time limit on it. I’m glad I have an appt for my wrist, it’s so uncomfortable. I mean the pain isn’t extreme but it’s enough to just be there like a dull ache. I can’t hold books or my phone. I mean I’m pretty sure all that can be done is wear the brace for a few weeks but I need advice. I’m going to ask my GI dr to refer me to a dietitian after my endoscopy. I’m supposed to eat low fat to lower my cholesterol and I know how to do that in theory but if I can have a clear plan/meal plan laid out for me I think it would help. Maybe I’ll lose weight, who knows. Now that I’m off vraylar I’m just struggling with binge eating. I got so used to it when I was so hungry that it’s a tough habit to break. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

I did it, I got myself to fitness class despite no sleep. X, the lady there I talk to the most was there, we exchanged pleasantries. Now I can do nothing for the rest of the day. Vacuumed last week, doesn’t need to be done till next week. Washed up the dishes last night. It’s raining today so don’t need to water the flowers 💐
Really irritated tho, mum has the politicians from tx on. They are sitting there posing and saying a lot of empty words about the tragedy but will do nothing as is there nature. Burns me up, shut up and make laws to control guns instead of turning school into prisons and making kids terrified to go to school. Geez, New Zealand did it, Australia did it. Just stop with the grandstanding. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

The Texas school shooting has me pissed. My sister is a teacher and my 2 nephews are around those kids ages. I am being instructed to not watch the news but I did watch it this morning. I had therapy and it went ok. She gets the medical conditions and is totally understanding. She said "its nice to know its not all in your head isnt it?" What she doesn't get is my eating habits. She doesnt get that I'm not eating poorly on purpose I'm eating poorly because of a lack of appetite due to the physical issues. She wants me to meet with her ED specialtity superviser as a one time thing. I told her I'd think about it. About 15 minutes before the end of our session my voice really started giving out and it was noticeable and she had to keep asking me to repeat myself and ask if I could hear her. She commented at the end of the session about me having trouble speaking because of the nodules. I don't talk nonstop for an hour to anyone so I never really noticed it before today. It didn't happen before today, with her either. I took an advil when I got done with her and I'm hoping Friday and Saturday come up soon.

Scorching hot today. 103 degrees and overnight cooled to only 71. Ridiculous for May. Thankfully, tomorrow is predicted to be cooler. I have an appt. with my med provider in a little while. Dude has to give me something to help me fall asleep.

My back injury has been flaring today. I hurt it helping mom recover from falling head first down an escalator. It was an injury I sustained helping her and she has the gall to yell at me today when I couldn’t do everything she wanted. Another family member laughed at my tears over my back pain. I love my family but I’ve never described them as kind to me. There are occasions but those are rare. It makes me more determined to take better care of myself and not always stay on the back burner.
I turned to a very loving, kind, caring friend. I’m glad to have those in my life including the folks on this board. It helps just to type it out. I will get a good night sleep and start fresh tomorrow getting ready for Florida. I really need this vacation. I hope everybody has a peaceful night. |

I'm thinking of each of you and sending love. I so want to answer individually, but I'm exhausted so making myself hold off.
I'm having a rough time with the shooting. The children. I really broke down. I finally remembered to slow my breathing and do the 5 senses grounding exercise. That did help keep me from flying off into fractured pieces. Still, the horror and pain. All I can do is focus really hard on sending some kind of peace to the souls of the children and adults who were killed, and to those who remain. If I could go there and hold those parents, I would. Just hold them in my arms. I saw my med dude. I'm so lucky, he's a really decent human being. He agreed to prescribe Haldol, 2mg., to take at bedtime. The hope is that it will quiet my mind some and also make me sleepy. I went to the pharmacy to pick it up & was told it has to be cleared through my insurance first. I mean, really? Old been around forever Haldol? Okay. *sigh* So hopefully it will be ready tomorrow and they'll deliver it at no cost. I'm allowing myself to take 25mg Seroquel tonight, I so desperately need to sleep. Okay sweetpeas, have a restful night. __________________ |

My mom and I drove half an hour to turn in my section 8 paperwork that took me over 3 weeks to complete. When I turned it in, as I have every other year, the lady behind the glass who took it said annoyed, "We're trying to get everybody to mail them in"! How annoying! I always drop it off so that I don't have to worry about the post office losing it or delivering it late. Ugh. People and their stupid rules! On the way home we stopped at a tiny Coney dog place that brings your food to your car and your order and pay from your car, too.

I wouldn’t trust the mail either, moose. That’s too important.
