Well, I wasn’t so much bitchy yesterday as horribly morose. I know in my gut that it was because of lack of exercise, but I could not summon up the energy or will to get moving!

So, today I took action.

1. Made an appointment with my doctor to check my thyroid levels and to see whether I have a sinus infection. When I’m down, there’s almost always a physical component involved. Waking up every morning for one month feeling rotten is not “normal.”
2.  Went to Boot Camp at the gym. It was exhausting, but once I was there, I just did it. Felt even more exhausted afterward, but at least I got some endorphins going for my many hours at the computer today!
3. Spent some alone-time with my ten-year old. With her creamy little cheeks, her long crazy hair and her funny observations on the world, she always brings me back to the moment in a way feels great.
4. Decided to clean out the stained glass “studio” this weekend so when the weather starts getting unbearable, I can go down there and start breaking some glass and making art. The trick for me is to find things to do that keep me occupied but don’t make me even more frantic than I already am.
5. Started a food diary. Oh how I hate food diaries: hate hate hate them. But, truth is, when you’re down in the dumps for no good reason, Cheesy Cheetos appear to be the answer… but if you write it down, your logical mind wins out over your crazy, illogical, stuff-your-face-with-junk mind.

Now for a glass of red wine and making dinner for the kids. Early to bed and I will crack open a new book. I am taking some of my own medicine!
