Well, it's been ... a day. Won't say it's been a bad day... nor a good day. Guess it beats a bad day! lol... what I'm trying to do is to not let my daughter's mood and frame of mind determine how I feel. Boy, it's not easy! She has a way of just... projecting her bad mood upon any and all in her path. So I've been reading this book that I'm fairly sure applies to our situation here and am just getting to the part of the book that I hope will be helpful for the day to day "surviving" with a person who behaves in this manner. Wow. I doubt that made any sense, but it did in my head!

Still had a backache today - don't know what I did. Pretty sure I pinched a nerve with the tree stuff. Getting better, though. Didn't work out (again) and so far am not beating myself up about it. Hopefully tomorrow. Did a little shopping therapy - not as therapeutic when you're not feeling so great about your body. Oh well. Maybe it'll help me stay on the path to better eating. Sure wasn't loving what I saw when I tried on a couple of things. Again - not beating myself up... just sort of acknowledging a fact.

Did some grocery shopping and picked up things to make some chili (which was pretty tasty) and picked up ingredients to make that spicy pumpkin soup again. I'll wait a couple of days to make it probably, but sure loved it.

Well, that's all from here... meet you all outside to howl at the moon in a bit! :D

Hey, D...I was out there howling with ya!!! Sorry that things are so tough right now. They will get better, and yes that first paragraph made perfect sense to me...perhaps because I have been there. Dealing with adult children who tend to project their foul moods on everyone around them are hard to deal with. The only thing to do is ignore her, try to stay as positive as you can for you, and remember that this will pass!!! Glad you did a little shopping therapy. Even if it wasn't as therapeutic as you had hoped, at least you went! Hugs and lots of love for you my dear friend...I am here if you need me!! <3<3<3<3

Morning D, it is hard to deal with people that can't help it..I know been there and done that with my older sister..she can still make everyone uneasy..And you can't whipp their butt and give them an attitude adjustment..Even though your shopping didn't do it for ya at least you got out of the house..some times just getting away for a few helps alot..Hope your back feels better today and continues to do so...Like Stef, I am sending good vibes and love and hugs...We are here for ya my friend...I can't do hearts on this new computer but I can do this...<3<3<3..:O)
