been busy
I've been busy these past couple days and have been too lazy to journal. I didn't get called to work in the election today (I was on standby) but I got paid $18 for my time. I don't know when I'm getting paid, but sometime in the next couple of weeks. I get $40 for the training and then the $18 for today. It's not much, but it's coming in time for the holidays.
I saw my new therapist last week. I like her. She asks a lot of questions and listens. I have an appointment with her on Thursday and I have to turn in my homework- a list of my -strengths. So far I have: smart charismatic good friend sensitive to others needs trustworthy funny pretty and strong. I don't know what else. She's the next door neighbor to my old therapist, actually, so I'm going to probably going to run into her every now and then.
My stomach is getting better... I've gone from constipation to diarrhea. Sorry for the TMI. But that means that my intestines are clearing out. I should be good in the next couple of days to go back to my regular eating habits. I'm going to keep doing what the doctor said for the most part, eating whole wheat bread and oatmeal for breakfast with trail mix. I got the instant plain oatmeal which I start eating tomorrow. I wonder how it's going to go with the trail mix. I guess I will see! I do love that trail mix, though. I'm going to try and go to the group class tomorrow at the gym tomorrow at 11:30. I'm going to take the bus there. I just need to look up what time the bus is going there. I'm going to set my alarm for 10 am. I've been going to the gym every day this week. Yesterday I did a 17 minute mile on the elliptical, and today i walked a mile in 18 minutes. I'm under the 20 minute mark pretty consistently now. Oh well. It's getting late and I want to go to bed. Good night, everyone!

good news all around. the holidays are going to come fast and every dime helps. I think your therapist is on target for you to focus on your strentghs and you listed some really good ones, I esp. like that you can acknowledge you are pretty. it is so good to know that and you are pretty. glad your intestines are getting better, what a relief that will be. I wonder why it happened in the first place. great job on the exercising! hugss
How great that you hit it off good with the new therapist! Glad to hear the tummy woes are getting better. Be sure to eat healthy when you are able to change back to regular eating so as not to end up at the same place again.
that is so great you go every day. i wish i would and when i do go, i go to the spa and hang in the sauna. what does that do. if i would go an hour earlier i could get more done.
glad you like your new therapist. wish you would post the weather in miami when you post. i hate the north florida weather. too cold. and miss miami alllllll the time. lol. xxoo
Thats cool you will get that money before the holidays i know it dont sound like alot but if you bargin shop (which i know you are good at) you can find some nice things for the holidays at not so expensive prices.
Thats great you are starting to feel alittle better!
