Happy Day of the Dead!
Tonight is the Mexican Day of the Dead. It's pretty fun to celebrate- you decorate an altar with pictures of loved ones who have passed, candy, food, candles, incense, stuff like that. The spirits are said to come eat the food and spend the night with you. Some places in Mexico go to the cemetery and spend the night there. It's a night to be with your loved ones. Geo's not letting me put up an altar since he doesn't want skulls everywhere (candy skulls), but I might light a candle on my night table. I have pictures of my dad on there and my Nana's rosaries. It's small, but it's something.
Today I didn't feel that well. I slept in, but I wanted more sleep. I'm supposed to go volunteer tomorrow, but I don't know if I can. I haven't been in a week. I was thinking of telling them I want to change my hours again. Maybe move to later in the day so I'm not as tired. As it is, I have to go to bed really early (9 pm) to be up in time for work. And I'm not a morning person. It's just a thought. I don't know what happened to me at my mom's, but I've just been exhausted and achy. I didn't go for my walk today, and I went to Burger King. I went over my calories, of course. I don't want to weigh tomorrow, but I should know the damage. My official weigh day is Saturday. We will see how it goes tomorrow.

Sounds like there lots going on here...sometimes you can just be rundown, especially if ya dieting, ya body gets tired, and as a result ya get mentally exhausted,..try not to beat yaself up over it...Big Hugs! x
that sounds interesting about the mexican day. i dont think i would do the skulls and such, but definetly a candle(s) and pictures. i have had peter and my granny come to me without a special day and i was blessed indeed. asfor the extra tiredness, is it possible you are low on iron and maybe anemic? even when tired before, you got yourself to work and walked when you could. does your insurance cover a visit to the dr. for some blood work?
Enjoy your Mexican Day of the Dead. Could be you ate different when with our Mom and it set your system to wacky????
