i’ll take one order of happiness to go, please.

September 23, 2010

today
= the day i am going to get back on my feet. i am going to take my own advice and choose happiness today (and i’m also going to own that choice). i wasn’t exactly little-miss-sunshine this morning upon awakening (uh, josh will vouch), but i’m taking a step back to regroup.

fairly accurate visual depiction of my mood over the past few days
yeah, at 5:43 AM i am already regrouping! is that a bad sign, or a good one? it’s never too early, i suppose.

plan in place
☑ i am going running this morning. no matter what, this always seems to help.
** edited to add: done! and it did. **

☑ i will accept whatever challenges work brings (another NICU consult for adrenal insufficiency? sure!) but i will also bring my study materials so i can take a step back towards getting caught up with my study plan.

☑ i will bring back the focus i have been trying to cultivate. one thing at a time . . . to the extent that this is possible with the pager, of course.

all right, here goes nothing!

9.22.10

workout: none – i rested again. it felt good in the moment, but today it’s time to get back on my feet again, both literally and figuratively.

the omelet king returns: i had meltdown #12 yesterday before dinner, and josh came to the rescue with a trusty never-fail strategy to get dinner on the table when i’m truly in a funk:

josh-made spinach, mushroom, and pepper-jack omelet + salad and my mom’s raisin-sunflower-seed toast
even i couldn’t come up with anything negative to say about that.

board prep: i’m getting back on the horse. today. it will be okay . . .

    Not that I like to hear that you are unhappy or having a hard day, but I have to admit that it is sometimes refreshing to see that you are human like the rest of us. I read a number of healthy living blogs and sometimes the lives shown on them seem so…perfect. Leaving me feeling much less than perfect in comparison. Good to know that someone I have seen juggle it all admirably also skips a workout just because and finds herself in a funky mood. Hope you do find happiness today 🙂

    I&#39m with all the above posters. For the last couple of days, I have definitely been in a funk…good to see that I&#39m not the only one who sleeps through my runs some mornings!
