bubble gum and rubber bands

That is what is keeping life together right now. But it isn't as bad as it sounds.

First to success:
Today was the second day I brought a salad to work for lunch and a good one too with avocados and walnuts! It tasted so good for lunch.
And my salt and carbs intake is down from both Monday and Today - can I say proud and happy

Last night on my way home from therapy I stopped into a new market to pick up some things. I like that it is convenient on my walk to the subway. I got rice cakes and fish and chinese dumplings for a snack. Now, I did take a serious look at the dessert offerings, but in the end I didn't get anything - again I am proud of me. This is like the third time I have thought of dessert, and walked away. Now, I did have a little pineapple bread pudding that I made over the weekend when I got home - but for me the triumph is not buying something "special". The special thing I got for myself instead was flowers, snapdragons and tulips. I need the feel good thing after therapy yesterday, phew.

Last night I got a migraine before therapy, well it started at some point in the afternoon and really made itself known about 1/2 hour before I left work. So, I reach for the excedrin knowing that the caffeine will keep me up, and sure enough it did - until about 230 this morning. Then I left my cell phone at work, by the time I realized I didn't have it with me it was too late to come back to the office, so I locked it via my security website and hoped it would be in my office come morning - it was.

Tomorrow I am going to a funeral of a friend from the scottish organization I use to help out. She was a woman who was wonderfully understanding when I was diagnosed with cancer, because she had it many years ago.  Tomorrow I am driving me and a few friends to the funeral.

This weekend I am headed home to see family. There are a bunch of us getting together Saturday morning to celebrate Mom's birthday which was on Monday 4/2. I am also going to help Mikey and Emily with planning their wedding ceremony.

So somewhere in time, in the near future I want to fit in silk painting, getting my profile up on Match.com, working some on my spiritual weight loss book/exercises, and do some spring cleaning.....
