What did you do right today? Part 2

I think I'm doing a good job watching someone's kid today.

I got my new digital camera, so happy

Made conversation!

Went to work and had a study session with my supervisor. Saw a client. Went to the dentist. Went and took a friend on some errands. Helped mom make dinner. Went to church. Took a friend home.

got a B on a sociology test I never got the motivation to study for.
created a blog and actually opened up a bit in it.

took girls to water park on Wed. stayed in bed with migraine yesterday. started laundry.

I got up today.

Nothin' yet. Gee, that's pretty inexcusable. Now I want to go back to bed.

Managed to tell a guy who fancies me that the feeling isn't mutual. Feel very bad about it though, it made me cry thinking about my husband. Fortunately I didn't cry in front of the guy.

Filled in final forms as I was discharged from a support network today (government's pulled funding, they can only offer support for a few months now.) Feeling really sad though.

Picked up all the things outside that might get blown away during the tropical storm and practiced my cello and bass guitar.

Refrained from going back to bed and filled up the bird feeders outside my kitchen and bedroom windows. The birds seem really glad about that. I hear them tweet, tweet, tweeting away. Actually, that's the sound they make when they're fighting each other to get to the feeders. I've seen a number of humming birds at the nectar feeder. So I did manage to give myself some joy.

Went to a treatment review for a client. Had a study session with my supervisor. Took it easy for most of the day.

I set up a tent with my daughters ~ first time ever! Quite an accomplishment for me.

Opened up some in chat... decided to actually recognize some stuff going on in my brain and junk.

Tried to think positive.

Finished a baby blanket for our neighbor. cooking. cleaning. laundry. went to the zoo as a family. grocery shopping. got sprinkler set up for girls to run through it. going biking later this evening.

After reading the above post, I feel like a total loser. I am really glad for your sake. What an example you are setting for the rest of us. You are awesome! I guess that's what being a member for over 2 and 1/2 years can do for a person. Congratulations.

Got my haircut, went to the store, took a nap, went to help a friend who was having a hard evening.

published another blog post even though I was hesitant about opening up that much.

Rose,

You are not a loser at all. Thing I've learned is its even the simplest things that are do rights. So I post them, so I feel like I've accomplished something. When our girls are with their mom, my posts are pretty much the same thing every day (work. dishes. cooking.).

Everyone does what they can and you are doing well.

Thank you for your kind words.

ate an apple

I washed the kitchen floor and cleaned up. Now my kitchen looks so nice.

I have plans to do more today.

To: PleaseHelp, Thank you very much. You've helped me to ease up on myself with the negative self-talk, which crushes my spirit. It's been a bad habit, especially for past year.

Rose: you're welcome. I do the negative self-talk too.

Went and looked at old cars (every year they block off 3-4 city blocks and people park their old cars, and you can walk around and look at them). Got the rest of the supplies to re-shingle the roof.vacuumed. Steam cleaned the living room carpet, chair, and "new" couch. Helped take old couch out and bring new one in. Made supper. laundry. took girls back to their mom's

Went to church. Had a friend over for dinner. Watched my 10yr old niece for a few hours. Took a nap. Walked to church this evening.

I did not let depression overcome me tonight. I was able to communicate normally with someone I care about. I purchased a wedding gift for my cousin. I left the house.
