Good Morning.
No carpooling today because I have a late appointment. That means I don't have to rush out quite so quickly this morning which is nice. I like saving the gas money and enjoy the extra time with Bob but I sure do have to hustle in the morning to get out the door by 6:15 am!!
I do not know my calories for yesterday because I was too lazy to put in the recipe I used yesterday for the potluck. But, I think I did okay. I opted for Alaska Salmon Burgers and cottage cheese for dinner and it was very tasty. It is difficult for me to believe that my last weigh in was 19 days ago. Where does the time go??? Seems like the days just rush past me.
I picked up a key yesterday for the place I'll be using for my group that starts up on the 15th. My stylist is letting me use her shop on Mondays since she is closed. She also has wifi there so I'll be able to do online groups too, although I don't have one set up yet. In the same building there is available office space which she showed me at a dollar a square foot. There is a nice space that I could use ... about 300 sq. feet ... if this business takes off and I can afford an actual place to rent. Time will tell.
I'm really trying to work on being "positive" and imagining the possibilities and I must tell you it is more difficult than I would like it to be. Maybe because I want it so much? Maybe because it is a tad bit frightening to think about being "on my own" and not have the security of a State job? I don't know ... but I'm simply going to put one foot in front of the other and see where it leads me.
Well ... gee ... I think that's it for this morning. Let's see what I can come up with for gratefulness today ...
1. My stylist who is willing to sublet her space for a very reasonable fee!!
2. Two more days until another weekend.
3. Spending some time with my favorite occupational therapist yesterday on a joint visit.
4. Feeling hunger again ...
5. Spending time with my team ... even though the meeting was a bit stressful for me ... it was very nice to be together with everyone and have some extra time to work together ... and who could complain about doing it outside and lakeside???
Kindness, allowing myself time to think of the possibilities, write goals, step in a new direction. In between work tasks that is my plan for the day. I am very much looking forward to Saturday morning when I do not need to wake up to an alarm clock. Have a wonderful day ... do take care of yourselves.
