Home Safe
I got home safe, and everything is good. At first it was weird being home after being gone for a week. I had to get re-adjusted, but it only took less than a day. I got home last night and felt a bit weird, but after being up for a couple hours today I felt back to normal again. I always feel like that when I go somewhere... I feel out of place when I get home. I feel weird when I go somewhere, and then get used to it there and feel weird when I get home. I don't quite understand why. I guess I fall back into my routine fast, so it's easier for me to fall into place at home than at my mom's or somewhere.
I slept most of the day today... I was so tired last night I just came home, posted my journal, ate and went to sleep. I got 12 hours of sleep plus an hour and a half nap. Today my food was good again, I'm back home and so I should be good with food. I asked Geo to save me some ice cream since he got some at the store yesterday, so when I'm low on my calories I will have something to eat that I like. It was hard before because I was low on calories and I didn't have anything I liked that was calorie dense that I could eat. There isn't a lot of ice cream left since Geo got to it first, but oh well. There's enough for a couple days of low calories, and for a couple of snacks on it too. I had a couple spoonfuls of it today just to see how it tasted. It's cherry cheesecake ice cream, and I have to say it's pretty good. Now I want some, but I'm full and I don't want to force any more food into me, especially since I've eaten in my calorie range for the day. If anything I will just have a spoon or two of it.
I did manage to go swimming today for exercise. I swam for about 20 minutes or so, treading water and just swimming back and forth in the pool. The pool was colder than it was the last time I went... last time it was like stepping into a bath, now it's just like regular water. Still warm, but not as warm and inviting anymore. Then again I did go at 5pm on a cooler day, so that might have something to do with it. It was only in the high 80's today instead of in the 90's. It was still nice to get in the pool before it starts to get too cold for it any more for the year. We still have plenty of time, but I'm just glad that school's back in session. I had the pool to myself this afternoon and it was kinda nice. Sometimes I miss having kids in the pool, but I don't play with them and they just get in the way. I miss it because it makes being in the pool funner somehow.
I'm just glad to be home. I missed Geo, and he missed me. He slept good again last night, which is good since he doesn't sleep too well when I'm gone. I don't know what he did before me lol. It's like ever since I moved in with him he's gotten spoiled. I keep him company, cook sometimes, take out the trash, and do the grocery shopping. I try to do my best to make him do the things he can do physically while not pushing him too far. It's hard to tell, especially now with him losing weight what he can and can't do. He can walk farther now, which is good, or at least as far as he was able to when I first met him. I don't know what he would have done for food if he was still living at his old place. He had to walk to the store, and that was a couple blocks away. He can do that again now, but for a while that was too much for him. He did go grocery shopping yesterday to pick up some more hurricane supplies since Irene was looking like it might hit us, but he got a ride to the store and just walked around the store. I take the bus to close to the store, walk a couple blocks to the store, walk around the store and go back. I don't think he could do that. I'm just glad he got some help and I didn't have to go to the store today.
Overall, today was a good day. I got my sleep, I wasn't stressed out, my food was good and my mood has been a stable good mood for the past couple of weeks. I think I'm doing good, and I would like to keep it this way for as long as I can!
