Today has been a good day. I got out of the house and went to the store with my sister. Thank God for her. I don't know what I would do without her. She is my rock. Not much happened today. I asked my hubby to help me eat healthier. I love him so much. I was too tired to eat much of anything for dinner, so I just had a bowl of chicken and noodles. After dinner he asked me where my vegetables were and if I had anything else. He told me that it was ok for today, but tomorrow I had better eat a well balanced dinner. Of course I make him eat healthy, but sometimes I am too tired. At least I am eating. Tomorrow is the weekend and thank goodness no-one is coming to the house. I love the quiet weekends alone with the hubby. Thought for the day..........Don't try to put 13 eggs into a 12 egg container, you will end up breaking them.

Been reading your last few entries. It\'s good that you got out with your sister. And hon, so many of our so called \'friends/relatives\' fall by the wayside - it just seems to be the law of relationships. They mean well but just don\'t follow through when the going gets tough.
One piece of advice - if they\'ve offered, phone them, ask for help and just keep going through your list of \'offers\' and you hit on one who will help out.
One other thing - sitting on a pity pot is not a bad thing as long as you don\'t sit there too long - eventually you\'ll end up with horrible \'roids! LOL! Sorry,, I just HAD to make a funny .. hehehe...
You make sure that you do get a well balanced diet each day. Also have you ever considered taking B100 Complex? I got this advice from a DS friend here and started it 10 weeks ago. It\'s amazing! It lifts your mood, helps with anxiety (even if you\'re on med\'s for those things like I am), gives you more energy, regulates your BP and a few other things. Brings balance both emotionally and physically.
Why do I always write a book??? LOL !
Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend with your hubby and always know that you are in my thoughts :)

p.s.... take a long hot bath :) :)
Hey Dawn, I\'m so sorry you have been feeling so low. I have just read your journal entries (I have to admit I don\'t have much time to read journals so I tend to miss some hard times for people - I\'m so sorry).
Now you listen up...! Don\'t you dare feel like no one wants to be around you, or like you are the aunt that no one wants to hug.. aaaawww I nearly cried when I read that. What an awful way to feel. I wish I lived near you, I\'d come round and give you a hug - daily if you asked! That\'s the key thing here sweetness, these people have offered their help, but if you don\'t ask for it, it\'s sometimes easy for people to \"forget\" as they go about their daily business. I am guilty of it...
One of best friends was very low for a few years and he very rarely left his room, I kept calling and texting for a while, but he didn\'t respond very much and I felt like he didn\'t want me to call or need my help so I left him alone.. I later found out that he felt SO lonely but just couldn\'t bring himself to ask for help or for people to come and see him as he didn\'t want to trouble to anyone. My point is this.. you MUST ask people - you deserve it! If they have offered but you have not asked, then they may well feel like I did, that you don\'t need their help. Reach out to them Dawn, you will not be a burden and if they are decent people then they will be only too pleased to support you any way they can.. !
You seem to do so much for everyone else, it\'s time you had something back.. you NEED it! Have you rewarded yourself for your fantastic quit stats yet?! If not, go and buy yoursellf a treat!! You desreve something really nice! That\'s an order young lady!! ha ha!! ((BIG HUG )) have a great weekend! xx
