FullaBella's Journal, 15 October 2014

Days without exceeding RDI: Zero. Ah well, we begin again. And again. And again. The secret to success is to get up one more time than I fall.





Won this at the auction last night. I just love it. It needs a name so let the suggestions commence.





I really liked it because I like this one - reminds me of the ways my sparrows have what I call the 'Morning Debates' where they gather and chatter up a storm.





I may have to give up the auction for a while though. Something happens when I get over there and see those HOME MADE cakes. Last week was the chocolate; last night was the carrot cake w/creme cheese and pecans. I lose my grip on the wagon and fall into the inch thick frosting.





I've considered taking a fresh sliced apple with me to nibble and reinforce my WOE but I can just imagine this happening:





So other than the glass bird I picked up a pair of really said looking wooden chairs. On the way home I bought paint stripper. This will be my very first time for something in this arena and I'm excited. Maybe it's just the fumes. Nah, haven't opened them yet. Didn't see this on the shelf but perhaps they don't carry it at Wally's.





Lunch today: liver & onions with mushrooms and spinach. Yum. I am hoping the iron helps - I really need to remember to start having this weekly.

Especially as I seem to have developed 'restless leg syndrome'. About midnight last night I found myself searching for a 'pill' to alleviate the discomfort. I have decided to try a few more natural things first like increasing my iron, making it a habit to soak in a warm bath every night, etc., instead of going straight for the drugs.

Massage this afternoon. I'm actually enjoying having moved that to every other week instead of weekly. Another recognition of 'all things in moderation - even the pampering'.

That's about it. Hope you're having a good day in your world today. I'm outta here.

Who knew immortality was only $11? The movies always make it seem so much more expensive. Your illustrated posts crack me up! HOW do you post the pictures? It never seems to let me do it. On my phone your bird looks like a fish maybe you should name it Nemo.

Great bird! It does look like half fish, half bird. Ivanka, maybe?? So cool that you are tackling a project you have never tried before with the chairs. Liver & onions.... one of the only foods you've posted about that makes me say 'yuck!' Maybe buy a cake - eat one slice and pawn the rest off on Blondie and her crew? Or maybe AVOID like the plague? Whatever works best for you!

Angel, did I ever tell you that carrot cake is my all-time fav dessert… of course, also meaning, it was my all-time fav binge food too! I struggle too when I come face-to-face with it, so I try to avoid it at all costs. What kind of auction is it that you go to? Individuals auctioning off their personal items or some type of auction house? As your first quote so intelligently says, hope you have forgiven yourself -- I'm sure today's a better day… I know mine is with you in it! xoxox

Love your bird! So cute. I am sure you will come up with the perfect name! I am so not good at names unless I am around a pet for awhile and then it just hits me. You are right, if you get back on more times than you falter, you will get results. Heres to results! I was having problems with my legs and feet cramping, magnesium helped. I went online and checked out the info on it. Did you also invest in enough disposable face masks to protect you when you are working with fumes and dust?

I couldn't come up with a name for the glass bird you won, except Birdie. Congrats on winning her! I say her because it looks like she is sitting on an egg. Bella, I love all your pics, especially that last one. :)

My name suggestion is 'Sadie'. Sorry to hear about the restless legs thing...hope you find some relief. And let us know about it! Good luck with the chairs!

Juanita? // Titi? I'm obviously not got at names either. Let me sleep on it... But, Bella, you're excellent at names! You'll find something more original than anyone of us. I have faith in you! :)

Hey mom, P.S. I love my tattoos and piercings. LOL

Thanks for the laughs, I enjoyed your journal. Can't help with a name for the bird...definitely work on getting more iron. My wife has had restless leg syndrome several times in the past, which in turn gives me a related case can't-sleep-cause-my-wife-is-wiggling syndrome. Iron supplements help her, which in turn helps us both.
