The weekends are just way too short. I wish we could have just one more day. Isn't it funny, most of us always want something more than what we already have. I know when I was out of work, all I wanted was a job! I love my job, but there are times I really miss being home. I feel like there just isn't enough time to get everything done that I want to do.
Last night I didn't fall asleep until 4am. I work up at almost 9:30, and really should have gone back to bed, but my boyfriend had texted me around 9, and I was still sleeping, so when I saw I had a message, I wanted to get up and text him back. I ended up getting right up, making coffee & then started crafting. I love it, and have gotten quite a bit done. I still have so much more to do though. I'm just going to work on it a little each night.
Lexi got up at 11, and she wanted me to take her out to breakfast, her treat. Well I took her, but I didn't get anything but an iced tea. She did buy me a Starbucks coffee on our way home. We actually went to my sisters to meet her 2 new puppies, Cassie & Milo, they are the most beautiful Golden Retrievers I have ever seen. They are so stinking cute! We visited there for a while, and on the way home from there, we got the Starbucks. Then I crafted some more, and brought the cashews to the table with me, so I would eat.
I worked all day, chatted with one of my best friends on the phone while I put Mr. & Mrs. Incredible together! LOL I am making Disney/Pixar Characters for my friend to use in her scrapbook from her Disney trip a few months ago. Well, for dinner I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes (with a kick of horseradish) and mixed veggies minus the corn for me. Lexi was commenting about how much she hates meatloaf. Too bad, we have to eat different stuff. I am already tired of eating all the same stuff. It was really delicious, and I am stuffed! I am actually so tired, I may go to bed early, since I didn't sleep much last night. I could lay down now & go to sleep, but I have to put Lightening McQueen together (from the Movie Cars). Once I do that, I think I'll go get into bed, I'll probably pass out! ,
I hate that I have to work tomorrow. Lexi is off, and will be with one of her best friends for a few hours. All the Doctors offices are closed so we probably won't be busy at all! Maybe we'll get lucky & they'll let us leave work early? Who knows. One can only hope!
I need to start planning my meals for the week. That is just way too much work for me to even think about right now.
I really am feeling better though! I never realized how much grain affects so much of your body. My moods are so much better. I'm not sad/depressed hardly at all. I mean I feel the emotions when I need too, but I am not as high strung or anxious since I have been off the grain. Today is 2 weeks! I made it through Lexi having pizza during the week, an evening out with pot luck food, and Lexi having Bojangles this morning. I absolutely LOVE Bojangles. I don't mind saying, "No, Thank you." I actually had to do that at church yesterday, a woman I know, made this pound cake & was sharing it with all the volunteers, and she offered me some & I said NO, thank you, and she said, you can have a little, and I said actually, NO, I can't, I don't eat anything with grain. She was like "Oh, ok" You don't know what you're missing?' I said, actually it's fine, I don't miss it at all, and honestly, I really don't! I am eating enough other stuff. I still have to try to force myself to eat the banana's, but I'm eating them for the potassium. I love the flavor but not the texture. But I survive, every day! It holds me over at work.
Well, I need to get back to crafting. Thanks again for all the emails I'm getting of support.
I'm glad to know so many people come here to visit. In 14 days I have had over 430 visitors. I think that's awesome! Keep coming back, it's not that this is really exciting, it's really just about what I am doing and eating. Feel free to comment on here though!
Have a great rest of the evening, and those of you that are off tomorrow, I'm jealous, but enjoy your day!
Godspeed!
Jenn
