Geo got his bus pass today
Boy what a day! We woke up early to get to the SSI office to get income letters for our lease-signing coming up, and also so Geo could get his bus pass. The SSI offce was fast, we went to Burger King after and rested there and ate breakfast. Then we took the long trek downtown for him to get his bus pass. The line was forever long, but it actually took less time for him to get his pass than it did for me to get mine and the line was shorter when I went. Lots of sitting and waiting at both offices. Geo got his bus pass in less than an hour and then we took the train towards home. Geo remembered that he forgot to take chicken out of the freezer for dinner, so we picked up some burgers for dinner and some Krispy Kreme donuts. I only had 2 of the donuts, I'm so proud of myself.
While we were eating, Geo and I had a talk about my mood. He said I had been moody and asked me what was wrong. I told him about me gaining weight and he flipped out a bit. He said I was freaking out over half a pound. This is right after he was trying to get me to eat 6 of the donuts (no way I was going to do that all at once) sitting there. I had two while we were talking. I know I ate a bunch of high-calorie foods today, but I'm going to hit the gym hard tomorrow. I would have gone today, but I was just too tired when I got home, and it was late. I know I shouldn't think of foods as "Good" and "Bad" since even carrots can be bad if you eat too much (thanks to ZECILKL for the reminder) and you need some fat in your diet for things to work out well. It's just about changing my mindset about food, which is a pretty hard thing to do.
I'm so tired. I got about 6 hours of sleep last night before my stomach woke me hurting and I had to run to the bathroom. We were going to wake up early, so I had trouble falling back asleep once I got my stomach sorted out (I took some of my stomach pills) and maybe got another hour of sleep before the alarm went off. So my sleep was bad. I was out all day, I came home and before I knew it, I was asleep- at 6pm! I took a 2.5 hour nap and woke up again. It's about 9:20 now and I'm still yawning, so hopefully I will sleep tonight. I want to go get my background check and fingerprints done tomorrow, but I have to wake up kinda early again to do that. So I'm going to try and go to sleep early tonight and get some good sleep because I'm still tired.
Today was kinda stressful, going from one office to another and going everywhere by bus, but it wasn't too bad. Geo got into a mood for a bit, but he got out of it which was good. He was mad that I didn't make my instructions more clear when I was trying to show him a shortcut. I should have just told him it was a shortcut, and he should have just trusted that when I told him "Come over here" it was for the best, not trying to get him to walk more. This was at the end of the day, when we were both really tired and just wanted to get home and rest, so I'm not too upset over it. I came home and tried some relaxation stuff and fell asleep. I need to learn not to let Geo control my moods (a whole different entry, and something I need to talk to my therapist about) because when you are with someone, it's hard for you and them to be on totally different pages moodwise (like one being pissed or depressed). The one who is down normally brings the other one down with them, but today when we were eating donuts Geo brought me up to be with him and refused to let me sit in my funk.
I'm changing my mood to okay since I've been a bit all over the place today with the lack of sleep and I don't know what's coming with my moods. I need to call the doctor and let him know I need more pills since he wrote me a script to take a pill 3 times a day but only 60 pills (enough for 2 times a day). I need to call them tomorrow and make an appointment. I was too brain fried when I got home to think about calling them, and it was pretty late and they were probably closed anyway.
I think I've covered all my bases- stress, sleep, mood and food, so I'm just going to take my pills and call it a night!

Wow, a busy day in deed, sounds like you got a lot of things done with the bus pass and the walking and train and all, plus lack of sleep, you must certainly be tired out. I hope you got some good rest after this.
