A happy blog, of a sort.

Just so everyone doesn't think I just use my blog to complain all the time, I actually have several things to be really happy about today.

1. My change of lifestyle plan is already working. I already feel healthier, more alert. I haven't lost much weight yet, but it'll happen now, I feel it.

2. Rent gets paid on TIME this month. And August is an extra check month for Rick, so bills will stay caught up. Yay!

3. I didn't have to yell at Marcella seriously at all today. Minor admonitions, nothing more. I like days like that.

4. Vicky thanked me for helping Abel learn to speak more clearly. I figure that by almost four years old, that kid ought to talk a HELL of a lot better than he does, so I've been coaching him a little. And it's working.

5. I fixed my little tabletop fountain last night, so now I have soothing water sounds next to me again. Next to find a better placement for the zen rock garden.

6. I got some "horizontal exercise" today.

7. I'm having a GREAT hair day. And the makeup is looking good too.

8. I probably have Saturday off.

9. My house is a mess, and for once, instead of being depressed about it, I'm looking at it as an opportunity to put on some Blink 182 tomorrow, and keep active, which burns calories.

10. I followed Dr. Bob's advice, and parked far from the stores instead of close. That means walking, which means being more active, which means yet ano another step towards getting more fit.

Insomnia Sucks

And insensitive neighbors just make it worse. There's nothing like loud TV's droning thru the walls to help make a sleepless night even more sleepless. If it was just my husband's snoring, I could deal with that. But I can't deal with the snoring, AND the loud TV, AND the thundering footsteps overhead, not to mention the screaming toddler at 1 am. Who the HELL has their kid up at that hour?? Thank goodness they moved out today. Now to find a solution to Loud Man In The Back. I am so exhausted, I don't know if I can remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. It's been a few weeks at least. And people sometimes wonder why I'm bitchy all the time.
