TGIF - May 19th and I’m experiencing the hot flash from hhhhhhelllll…...yikes. The AC is on 68 and I have two fans pointed at me and despite a cold rinse shower and a couple of sink baths I’m still coated in sweat. Dang.
DE taken last night in juice - no noticeable effects yet unless this sweating counts. As quantity consumed didn’t seem to be an issue I added ¼ cup to my BPC this morning. Results: thicker, kind of like hot chocolate. Not noticeable otherwise.
Vegetable juice this morning: broccoli, cabbage, carrots and pineapple with the knick-knacks. It’s actually good. Wow...did I say that??
I’m so sleepy I’ve nodded off twice just journaling this so far. Mushy got me up every two hours. Grrrr. Cranking up the Rolling Stones...may dance a bit. Need energy.
ATF: ham sandwich for dinner. I’m glad the meal delivery is on hold. I have three meals to cook; will likely freeze them when finished.
Had an opportunity yesterday to refresh my mindfulness skills. I was at the grocery store and this one guy had TEN kids with him - ALL shrieking and crying and racing the aisles and creating a ruckus. At first I tried to positive attitude myself with ‘at least it’s just a little while at the store… that Guy has to go home with ‘em!’
But eventually that failed to save me and I heard myself yell out ‘good grief!! I’m two aisles away and I can’t concentrate!!’ That’s when I virtually jerked myself up by the shoulders and started taking a mental and emotional inventory followed by making up showtunes (low and only I could hear) about the shopping.
With that, the tightness in my shoulders released and I no longer focused on the shriekers. I was able to choose my mood.
I mention this because, well, I’m proud of me. But also, because I have been trying to encourage Blondie to do the same and when a friend of mine yesterday mentioned an anxiety with a situation I tried to share this technique with her.
Reaction? She commented ‘not everyone has the perfect life like you…’
My response: Perfect life?? Wow. So so far from perfect it’d make your head spin.
I just choose to not feel bad.
