Well yesterday once I finally got my butt in gear I wandered over to the grocery store. Holy crappers it was busy, betwen the good sale and students returning to college and parents getting loaded up for a new school year it was a zoo! However I was able to handle it and did pretty good staying within my budget. Only $3 over. Was able to get some good food again and avoided the temptations of all the junk food that was on sale.
Once I had been there for almost an hour I had to get out, the nervous I am going to have attack was about to rear it's ugly head. Once outside it disapated quickly. I did do a good deed by giving my cart that I paid for to a young lady and simply asked her to pave it forward.
After I came home, but got rather ansy so headed back out! Back over to the mall and strolled around the stores before I knew it I had been gone over 2 hours. Picked up a few items that I needed and walked back home.
The rest of the evening was relaxing with friends of my roomates. We all picked on eachother and I felt the stress that I had been burying slip away! Laughter truly is great medicine.
So although not a whole lot got done, it was a good day!
Today the focus is on cleaning the apartment and staying cool there is a humidex warning out! Lovely!!!
Hope everyone has a motivated Monday!

Your quote reminds me of something my husband says often. He insists, "It will all come out in the wash." Your list is awesome and your picture is so pretty! So glad we can see your cute face up close! So glad you are learning from your interaction with members of the group of people with Bipolar Disorder. Keep us posted about your continued success and have a great Monday! Go Canada! Woot! Woot!
