Sleep Would Be NiceEntry #659283
I haven't been sleeping well lately. I seem to grab a few hours of tossing turning before I give up and get up. You'd think I'd work around the house. My excuse is that I don't want to disturb the dogs. After several nights of this I don't think straight.
Luckily yesterday I had Med Clinic. My PA set me up with Ambien. I was only up for a very little time last night, then I slept wonderfully! I'm just waiting for tonight's does to kick in.

My therpist has decided that I'm too much of a kid and it's time to be an adult. *sigh* I know I can behave like a kid at times but I'm very young at heart. I don't want to lose that. I think she is actually addressing my spending habits.
She also told me that I can't buy anything for me. I can't get through to her that if I get to jonseing about shopping for very long, I'll end up spending an entire check on stuff. Let me have one thing per month and I'll be pacified. I won't feel deprived.

She's also really pushing the job thing. My editing gig doesn't pay, it's volunteer, so thrilled as I am with it, she shoots it down. She wants me to get out and find a "real" job. Obviously she isn't paying attention to my track record and mental health. I feel that I need to focus on my house first, weight second and the rest will begin falling into place.
By the way, my friend brought the exercise bike Monday. I had sold it to him and now bought it back. It's in the living room but I want it in the bedroom. Gotta move a small pile of junk outta the way, scoot the bike up the hall and I'll be good to go. I know when I was walking the treadmill at mom's, I ate better and was losing weight. It's too hot in her sunroom to walk until late fall. Then I can switch off between bike and treadmill.

Some people I know on FB are attempting to put together a 1980-1989 class reunion next fall after Homecoming. This gives me goals:
Lose weight, exercise, eat healthy
Grow my hair back out
Work on poetry and probably self publish them
Work on one or two of my kids stories and try to get them published through the company I edit for.

I have just over a year to accomplish all, or at least some, of that. If I can keep my focus, I can do it!
