Well I went on my first outing Sunday and boy talk about facing all your demons at once. Here I am at a casino with 3 other people and can't smoke, drink or EAT !!!! and believe me all those temptations were around but I am rather proud of myself and was able to deal with it without problems. But to back up a bit, me & my sister took my mom and her mother-in-law for an overnight trip to Mt. Pleasant Casino, there we took in the Bobbie Vinton Concert at spent the night at the hotel. The concert was at 4 and afterward we were going out to dinner. There, of course, was not a whole lot to choose from at the casino to eat at and even less for me to choose from as I am limited to what I can eat. So here we are at one of the best all-you-can-eat buffets around and I am eating nothing but mashed potatoes, soup broth and some asparagus. ( I have now graduated to the next food level and can eat some veggies as long as they are very soft) Surprisingly enough I did very well and was not as tempted as I thought I would be. Since I have to eat very slow it allows me the time to savor the flavor of everything I can eat. Although a little while later my gut was not savoring the flavor so much and must have decided that it did not like the asparagus that I ate. So I pretty much ended up spending the evening in the hotel room but that was OK as I am a survivor junkie and wanted to watch the season finale anyways. Monday when we got home I was exhausted for some reason. I laid down on my bed at 5 pm and never got up till this morning at 730am. So even though I was/am going stir crazy being in the house all day my body is still not at 100% yet, but I am sure as time goes on it will be OK.
I think I also am getting a little depressed, I can't really say why that is other then maybe not being able to do anything or maybe that it is my hormones acting crazy since my body is going through so many adjustments but I seem to be feeling kinda down or ho-hum feeling,and not really wanting to talk to anyone..(so if you have called please don't take it personally if I have not called you back, I will soon, I promise) Since I already am on Drugs for depression I think that it may just be a temporary thing and maybe finding something fun that I can do without being to strenuous will help me out.. Anyone have any suggestions???there are only so many books to read and TV shows to watch!
I have started back to work today(mortgages that I work out of my home at and can take a break if needed) and am trying to focus on that some to help get my spirits and motivations going. ****shameless plug here....but if anyone needs help or advice on a mortgage I am here just let me know, it is a buyers market now and if you are on an ARM you may want to consider a refinance*** I also have another part time other job right now too but the doctor thinks I should wait one more week before attempting that one as my lungs are still not working right and I get breathless easily.
Sorry for the downer post today but with most things in life it can't always be roses and I said I was gonna be honest about everything .
