happy vs work

brightbluegirlI have to leave this office at 1:30 in order to get to the downtown office for a meeting that promises to go from 2:30 until at least 4:30.
Hurrah.
So anyway, I've already been relatively productive, and I just don't feel like doing anything else right now. Go me.
Last night kinda sucked, even though everything worked out with my friend. I totally screwed up my eating (stayed on my diet, but underate and ate no protein when I DID eat), so my blood sugar was really mad at me, and I had a headache and was pretty much out of it the entire evening.
Today I still have a bit of a headache, although I should be ok in the long run.
Then Andrew was still not home from work when I went to bed, and I couldn't sleep without him there, I was very tense, and knowing he'd just come in a while later didn't help with that - it just made me more tense.
When he got home I tried to sleep, but my body was a tight wire, it HURT it was so tense. He gave me a little massage and rubbed my back for awhile, and I curled up with him and slept well after that. I wanted to thank him for giving me just what I needed - which was actually just physical expression of love (not a massage), but I fell asleep.
Today has been ok. I look forward to not having to come into the office for a couple of hours. The week has felt extremely short - having a day off in the middle of it certainly helps!
I lost another pound, so I have lost 3 lbs this week and 8 lbs overall. I have 15 lbs left to go to goal! I'm feeling pretty good about this success. It feels like it could just take a hop, skip, and a jump and I'll be there.
I have every intention of eating sugar over Christmas. Is that bad???
I need to start thinking about Christmas Shopping. My mother is visiting my brother in Edmonton in the beginning of December, and she wants us to go there too. We're going to have an early family Christmas then. I like the idea - I haven't seen my brother since before we moved to Albuquerque. BUT it means all that Christmas shopping will have to be done before the first weekend of December.
Next year I'll be making all my gifts again. I think people are going to get a lot of clothes and quilts and things next year. :D
We're under a strict budget this year, but I love shopping for presents. I love finding the perfect thing for a person, and co-ordinating gifts (i.e. "oooh, I could give them a new tea mug and some loose tea and a tea ball, and ooohhhh maybe some home made cookies and some of my favourite cookie recipes, and incense and a candle to go with it all!" (I think I might give that to my brother's girlfriend)
I also love the Christmas season in general. I love warm insides and hot apple cider and cool outsides, crisp winter mornings and softly falling snow. Lights on Christmas trees and presents, and lazy mornings in big flannel nighties.
Happy thoughts!
I'd rather think happy thoughts any day. Even though yesterday was important in the growth of a relationship with an important person, it was hard. Comfortable-Happy is so much nicer (this is me, holding the obvious stick)
Hurrah.
