We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we used to
create them.
Glad I went to bed before half eight last night because I
was awake for two hours just after midnight with stomach pains – yay to being
female! I’m good again now though, the
drugs do work 😛. I had my second
counselling session yesterday and she was pleased with the changes I’d made and
the difference in my thinking so much so she wasn’t sure what else she could do
for me, I’ve asked for one more check-in in a fortnight as I won’t be 100%
convinced everything’s all good again till I’ve done a complete hormonal month,
I was at 90% belief though and actually after being awake that’s now 95% which
is awesome.
I’m feeling pretty confident I’ve made adequate changes in
my thinking and my work life to give me my balance back, I’m going to make sure
I make time to do things I enjoys doing, that includes quality time with mom
when I’m not already exhausted. I spoke
to my boss on Saturday after my diamond award and he’s sorted my request out
for me already, so that’s a relief, now to share the news with those who need
to know. I’m prioritising me and my self-care
in order to be happy and able to best take care of mom.
Don’t neglect yourself, I’ve always told others this and
lately I’ve been guilty of doing it myself, yeah I’ve still had my massage
which made me believe I wasn’t but the truth is I need more time, life is
short, work less – live more. Set a good
example to those around you, especially your children, let your daughters know
that their needs matter too, if all they see is mommy doing everything for
everything and having nothing for herself, they’ll think that’s the way the
world should be and this isn’t the way the world should be. Everyone’s needs are equally important.
My self-care yesterday was having my feet done, mom was due
to have hers done too but the lady said to leave them another fortnight, she smoothed
the souls of my feet and cut my nails the lot, it was good. Then I did a couple of hours housework (not
so good) but we have lovely clean new bedding, moms rooms all tidy, mines have
done, I want to sort out the clothes in my room, a girl only needs so many
tshirts and I have way too many.
I nipped to Sainsbury’s to return the dresses I’d bought,
realising I don’t actually need more clothes, I exchanged on for a different
size but had a refund on the other. I
bought hot dogs for lunch and they were delicious, they worked out at 4sp for
the bun, 2sp for the jumbo hotdog then a point for the ketchup and
mustard. Each hot dog was a well worth
it 7sp.
Breakfast had been beans and egg on toast, and my other meal
was a bag of chicken wings - what a waste of 12sp, it wouldn’t have been if
they’d been the hot and sticky deliciousness they should have been but they
weren’t they were semi warm as I ate them in the car, but I couldn’t bring
myself to bin em.
I’m all stocked up on tinned veg and long life milk just in case
we get snowed in 😀
mom made me do it, she’s been reading the papers, looking outside I think we’ve
got away with it for now but the forecast is snow. We’re supposed to be walking on the chase on
Sunday, we’ll have to see how the weather plays out I think.
Mom got on the scales yesterday and has agreed to not having so much junk in the house which is going to help me enormously - can't eat what isn't there. She can still have treats but healthier ones and more controlled. No more biscuit tin under her chair for her constantly to pick from.
Right I’m off to make me a cuppa, gonna need a little caffeine
to spur me into action this morning, only a little though.
Looking forward to catching up with my members this morning,
here’s to a great day however much snow falls.
Prioritise your own needs BeYOUtiful, remember you’re
important too.
