Powering Through It...
Woke up this morning after a restless night of sleep even though I'm on sleeping pills (guess I have to up that dosage). Got Little Man ready for school and was doing ok until my guys left for work and school. Not happy with my scale so no WW today. Don't know what happened in a week with that thing!? Hope I just need a new battery! Started worrying about stuff and thinking about other stuff and that is never a good combo with me. I felt like screaming so I did - into a pillow so not to scare the dog and cats. Then of course the tears came--violent and hard. I thought about just crawling back into bed. I talked my self out of it though - one small victory for today!! I had more coffee and realized my morning was now free. My very loving sweet dog Reggie really needed a walk after all the ice we had. So I talked myself into that. I put on my sweats and grabbed his leash and off we went - a 45 minute walk in a warm sun! It did feel good. Although I didn't realize how much my dog likes running through mud and puddles. He was a muddy mess when we got home. Wiped him down and now he'll be sleepy for a few hours while I go to see Dr. Shrink and Therapist Shrink. Dr. Shrink will hopefully help me with my sleeping dosage and I obviously have some things to get out in therapy session today. I will focus on probably 2 things but maybe go back to another something that I was trying to heal since last summer!! More on that subject another time.
