Hot , cold , sick , in pain , free

Middling. My body is calm according to my vitals - heart rate 70, blood pressure 108/70, smartwatch stress level low. Just got an underlying sense of anxiety about a very busy Monday coming up after I've just spent the weekend trying to charge up from zero energy. One hour at a time.

All the best. I will try to remember this , one hour at a time. Thankyou for the inspiration

A mixture of feelings: in some ways needy and weak, strong and hopeful in others, hungry for being ahead on the goals but at the same time, painfully aware where this kind of thinking got me. Working again on being mindful, of not whingeing and talking so much as I have been and instead do what's necessary for healing.

Excited about getting hot dogs for lunch later on today.

That is one I can understand with the waves of mosquitoes about here. Hopefully things improve for both of us.

I HATE mosquitoes. Mostly because I am apparently a highly sought-after delicacy to the little flying vampires. My friends kind of like it, because if there are mosquitoes out when we are outdoors, guaranteed I am drawing 7 out of 8 to myself.

Lousy. Would like to skip church but am providing transportation for a 97 year old lady today. She is a widow and is almost blind due to macular degeneration. She really needs the social time church provides. Hopefully helping her out today will help her and me.

Woke up feeling okay just over an hour ago. Suddenly my whole digestive system is convulsing in pain, like esophagus on down. Looking back, I have been trying to get more fiber and fresh produce in my diet and I must be changing things too quickly. I also hardly ate anything yesterday, or drank water for that matter. Something tells me that more fiber without more water is not a good idea. Going to get some probiotic food today. I am not a big yogurt fan unless it's in a smoothie. I do love sauerkraut as well as just about any pickled veggie, and I would drink kombucha daily if that was in reach financially.

Maybe whingeing and talking is apart of your process, your making progress. As Denzel Washington says in the Equalizer, "progress, not perfection".

That's nice, let us know how the trip went.

Sauerkraut is nice. Over here they pasteurize it for the supermarket, so all the goodness is gone, the unpasteurised stuff is quite expensive. Sorry your having some stomach upset, that's not very nice.

@LumberJack I'm sorry you're sick. Getting dehydrated can raise havoc in the systems for sure. (h) Kefir is a drinkable yogurt, and comes in goat's milk or cow, etc. It's not cheap but: if you drink 1/4 cup each morning, amounts to very little cost wise and very good helath wise.

Happy I got paid today

This is good advice especially for me right now. I'm tired of feeling vulnerable.

I'm doing ok other than sore from sitting. Missed church but I had to lay down, so feels like it was wasted not going out. I have to get stuff tomorrow.. somehow ants are in here. Hopefully ant traps will fix that.

I just looked at something kinda racy and I saw an abbreviation that I registered as Buddhism so I did a double take. Was actually looking at "bdsm." If you know, you know, but if you don't, you prolly shouldn't go look it up!
I do think it's amusing that I have so much of a sordid history, combined with lofty aspirations to purify my delusions - that, in the first place I am in the path of things related to ...that, but when I look at it too briefly I interpret it completely differently

Not great. It doesn't matter. No one cares.

We care here, as best we can!

Fried. My first job was to sleep through the night to prepare for a truly manic Monday. Failed at that, the death knell for sleep was an early alarm - brain goes into "I need to get up at x, the best thing to do in that case is not go to sleep in case I don't wake up in time" mode. Always happens, plus sleep has been patchy anyway, but I was doing better. The next task is to survive the commute to the office and then survive the day one way or another. It's a long day and I'm starting off ropey. I hope for the best.
