Slowly, Slowly

I did some good things today.

Woke up earlier than I would have liked, to go walking with Natasha. The plan was to go for an hour, but I felt like something disgusting, so we walked to the HighStreet Starbucks instead. Rather than having a delicious hot apple spice (sugary mmm cider with whipped cream and caramel and mmm), I had a mango juice thing. (It said “Naked” on it, which is the brand name and likely refers to all-natural blah blah blah, but I like feeling subversive. Naked!)  Anyhow, the walk there took 25 minutes, so really, we walked for an hour including a ten minute break for juice and water and the warm thing Natasha had.

My stomach did not appreciate the juice and tried to evacuate it. Jerk stomach.

I went to work and didn’t get a tonne done, because my stomach is stupid and ruins my days lately. So I ran one program, then came home and slept for 3 hours (4 hours? Some amount of hours), before going back to work tonight to run another program. I’m getting ridiculously far behind at work, and the “I’m new” excuse isn’t going to work much longer, and how long can I really use “I’m sick”? But if I don’t care for myself, I can’t care for others, right? Right. (Feel free to write emails to my bosses to let them know that… the last job has me so super paranoid about not getting in trouble and then getting fired… everything’s okay at work, but ack, what if!?!)

I bought groceries!

Let’s see… on the left we have some things for lunches… buns with cheese and turkey and spinach and tomato and those little delicious cheeses; moving to the right we see an assortment of fruits and vegetables for lunches as well.  Use some of that fruit with the yogurt for breakfast, of course, and a square of dark chocolate for dessert (maybe after breakfast, maybe not).

And what’s that in the middle back? Oh yes, chewable children’s vitamins. I mentioned previously that I hate taking my vitamins because they make me gag, but check these out:

The monkey says they’re super yummy, and after eating an orange lion and a lemon monkey, I’d have to agree. My big girl body needs 2 a day instead of the bottle-recommended 1 a day, but at least I’m taking them.

Alright, off to put the groceries away and put the laundry away from yesterday.  My hopes for tomorrow include going to the gym, making my lunch at home and depositing a cheque that’s been sitting in my purse for a couple of months. Also, making that huge to-do list at work (and not letting the size of it stress me out – making the list is a feat in itself, will get all of the little things to do off my mind, and will help me get all of it done, eventually).

And, of course, I’ll be taking my vitamins.

Things to put out of my mind: songwriting (at this point, I don’t have the time, and need to let Bridge Songs go this year); dating; attending everything that people want me to (and thus the idea of being a “good friend”).

Lastly: thank you (sincerely, really, truly) to everyone that commented yesterday. As much as I should have inner-drive, it’s really the words from you that keep me going somedays, and being excited to share things like grocery shopping and walks. They seem little, but they’re big to me.
