Couch 60: Don't forget the beachball!

I hope you have a good visit this weekend lola enjoy having your daughter around

enjoy your swim hankster

I'm going clothes shopping with my boys... Separately of course...so its going out twice but better than dealing with them having no patience waiting for the other one to find clothes

Wiki....you sound good...positive... Hope you enjoy your visit with H... I guess there are no obese...misersble...anxiety ridden...cranky perimenopausal b itchs on your unit.... Glad for you.

I was playing too. No WW3 here.

separate sounds much more manageable. what grade are the boys in now .I know you have been doing the college thing with one haven't you

I am cleaning, laundry, cleaning...all day long. Maybe, if I work real hard I will get all things done that I need to and we can spend Monday doing something fun as it is the last weekend of the summer!

are you looking forward to going back to work healed .maybe it will give you something to do to help keep out of your head

Yes! For sure.. Work is a great distraction for me!

Youngest is going in 5th grade and oldest is 12th grade. Love clothes shopping with 11 yr old boys...t shirts and sports clothes stuff and one store and we are done...oldest will be mall shopping later...and online shopping

wow for some reason I thought you were visiting schools with your oldest

Thanks. Finally got my swim on, 90 minutes! My long leg suits are so stretched out, I think they weigh me down. It was noticeably lighter and more enjoyable with the swimshorts. I can't believe how - I will call it stupid even tho t gets mad - stupid I am at not noticing when things are so hard that could EASILY be changed. What is wrong with me. I mean I know what is wrong with me, but sheesh how do I stop the insanity.

Oh stop!! Oh you said PERImenopausal... carry on then! I cant believe we'd be unrepresented there tho...

I just want to cry.

I took too long to eat something today and my blood sugar crashed. I finally ate, but it was too late and now the recovery is taking FOREVER. I hate this rubbery, lifeless feeling....I have to go pick up groceries in less than an hour, and I can't imagine getting the energy to get dressed, go to the store and carry in groceries. I told my daughter that I need her help with it.

Then, she ended up asking if I could take her and her BFF to the swim club. Of course, I said yes. I want her to be happy, and it's the last weekend the swim club will be open. So, I'll be picking up her BFF in about 15 minutes - dropping them off at the swim club and then heading to the store to pick up the groceries. This is all normal stuff that a normal parent should be able to handle....and here I am, on the verge of tears because it's not something I have the energy to do. I should've eaten sooner in the day. AARGH.

Glucose jelly beans.

Hey Everyone
Has anyone seen squirrel didn't she say she was feeling a bit hypomanic?
Anyway glad to see Wiki can get out and about.

Lots of strange things yesterday. This is just one of them. In the fish tank there was a particularly aggressive fish, my ex kept complaining that he's had 2 fish die unexpectedly. I was watching this fish terrorise the other fish so while I was cleaning the tank I put him in a separate bucket. About 5 minutes after I put him in he started leaping about and throwing himself against the side of the bucket by the time I got over there he was belly-up. Now I'm sure I put stabiliser in the bucket before I put the fish in. I'm at lose as to how it died. The other fish are quite happy now I suspect that fish was just harrassing the others to death.

MUE Carry barley sugars or jelly beans as CE suggested.

Thanks, friends. I really do need to have something with me at all times. I was home all day and there was no reason why I couldn't have just grabbed something to eat when I felt that familiar twinge. I wasn't in the mood for anything in particular and just let it go on way too long. I had a bowl of broccoli cheese soup for a late lunch - and then shoved some chocolate in my mouth in the hopes that it would act on those awful blood sugar crash feelings quicker.

I'm feeling better now....just still drained and jello-like. I'm about half way through the things I needed to do....just gotta get some more of the groceries in the house, get changed and go to the swim club.

I'll be the little train that could...I think I can. I think I can. LOL.

BPA, sounds like the fish was stressed....but it seems like the other fish are grateful, no matter how it happened.

I've been trying to make my new place feel a bit more like a home. Been rearranging furniture and starting to unpack a bit. I had started all this a couple weeks ago but got sidetracked with drama and feeling hopeless and seeing no point in bothering....anyway, decided to make a choice today to do things that will help me feel better and move on with my life. So organizing the new place, forced myself to eat something healthy, and even to put it on a nice plate and eat at the table rather than on the couch or standing by the sink. I am even planning to get back into the routine of going to the gym. Not going to let myself be just as stuck and unhappy as I was before I divorced and moved. I have a new start and I might as well choose to make it a good one. Otherwise what was the point of any of it?

You go, Murray! I love the attitude you're taking on. I need to use some of that to motivate me!

thanks MUE. I know we've battled some of the same issues...its hard

Great attitude Murray... we should start an exercise group, I need to exercise. Instead I watch people do it, as the exercise room is in view from my back porch.

I just realised today it has been 1 year and 1 day since we separated. I can apply for a divorce. I wonder whats holding me back?

Just a thought, therapy is kind of like a drug. Sometimes you go and think that was really bad trip or I'm totally freaked out but the relief you get when it really works makes you want to keep going back for more. And then there's the lap-dancing
