Validation I guess
Well, I sat down tonight and looked at the calendar as i was having a bad "attack." Hot flash feeling, tingly, touch of diarreah, stomach discomfort, fatigue, dizziness etc. I was able to "fight my way through it" but it was beginning to feel like a pattern. and now I know it is. It seems like 8-9 days after my TOM, this happens. So now I know that there is a direct link to hormones. Even the attack I had in North Carolina falls in with this pattern and the really bad one I had on Ash Wednesday.
One disturbing bit of news: Max is getting aggressive with my mom. So this weekend I am going to buy: a gentle leader collar, a 20 ft leash (to train sit/stay/come). What happens is that he wants to go out and play in the yard and won't "come". so at night he is black and my mom can't see him and he won't come in. So she has been taking him out at night on the leash. He sees the leash and he runs under the coffee table and growls. He snapped at her the other day. And now he is pulling like crazy on the leash. I think he is sensing my mom's fear and he is pushing her buttons to dominate. I really think my mom is considering giving him back. I think she is disappointed. Max has a lot of energy. He is a small breed and only 14 months old and a puppy. and he is in the crate while she is working. So once school is out, David is going to go over there once a week and work with him (David is great with dogs!) he is going to have to be walked twice a day on the leash with the gentle leader and taught how to be a follower. he also needs to learn the "come" command. If he would come when my mom called him, she would let him run around at night.
I did not sleep well at all last night. Tossed and turned. Stress is bad last few days and the hormones as well. I was sitting there in my car tonight while Paul was pumping gas at the gas station and I just wanted to bawl my eyes out! I did do 1 hr of Wii Walk It Out tonight, but binged today on Girl Scout cookies, darn it! Emotional eating for sure.
Roof still isn't done after 3 days of banging. Hopefully 1 last day tomorrow and we are done. had a nice talk with my Dad today. My stepmom is up from Florida. I am going shopping in Lancaster on Tuesday with my stepmom and step sister. Can't wait. They have lots of outlet stores in Lancaster! I may have to go to the Coach outlet.
I am gonna go hug Kona and get a big doggie kiss. I could use one right about now. She always makes me feel better. I look in those big brown eyes and always feel blessed. I wish I could get Kona to teach Mad Max some manners.
