Hoping For a Better Day

Yesterday... finally.... got better. David was purely EXHAUSTED! And... I later learned that he didn't feel well. So, I now believe that the two together, contributed to him being so "distant" when he arrived home.

Both of the girls had to work in the afternoon, so after he took a good NAP... he and I went to town for dinner. We finally "talked", which we hadn't really done since he got home. I told him about my day with Georiga and he told me more about his competition.

He feels bad for not winning, or at least doing "better" in the competition. But, he learned that out of the 8 guys in his "group" that he was competing against... 6 of them had won the contest more than once!! So, he really had an unfair advantage. But.... he was glad that he went and got to have the experience. I asked him if he would try again next year, and he said that he wouldn't. I understood.

Thanks again, Diana, for letting me call you and cry on your shoulder over the phone! You are a WONDERFUL FRIEND!! I love you lots!!

I am not sure what the day holds for me today. David went into work for a few hours this morning to catch up on a few things. He did mention that maybe we could take a motorcycle trip somewhere. I wouldn't mind that. I just have to put my STUPID JEANS on!! UGH!!!

I sure hope that once I start working again... I can get my motivation to get back to exercising. The gym that I go to (Curves) isn't anywhere near my new job!! I will have to come the looong way home in order to go by there after work. BUT... I know that I NEED TO! I am hoping that I can get into a routine of going there and I won't mind going out of my way AND coming home later in the day, too! I NEED to get back to going 3x a week!

Something else that I really NEED to get back to doing is..... doing Bible study!! I used to do it every day, on my own. But.... I have let that "slip", as well. I am trying to figure out what I want to "study". I could do a "book" of the Bible. I could study a "person". I could just read a "section" each day and study it further. I don't know yet. That is what I plan to do this morning... figure out just WHAT I am going to study.

I did not sleep well last night. I went to bed early. My RLS was bothering me really bad and that makes me just want to go to bed! I thought I might have trouble falling asleep, but I didn't.. thankfully! I fell asleep fine, but I woke up around 2:00am to the sound of a tree frog outside our bedroom window!!! I first thought it was Jackson, dreaming!! But, then it made it's sound a couple of more times, and I figured out what it really was. Then..... I was WIDE AWAKE!!!!

My mind started going in all different directions!! I was thinking about my so-called "friends" and all the CRAP that is going on with them. I was thinking about my new job. I was thinking about our vacation. You name it... I was thinking about it!!

Then... I started having terrible CRAMPS!! I do that about 2 weeks before "Mr. Ugly" shows up each month. NOT fun! So... after laying there for about an hour, trying to go back to sleep.... I finally got up for a bit. I came in here to my computer and just scrolled thru Facebook & Twitter. Just reading. I stayed up for about 30 mins and then went back to bed. Thankfully, I was able to go back to sleep. I ended up sleeping until 6:30am!!! --- LATE for me!! It felt good, tho!

Alrighty.... I am off to find something to study in my Bible. Also... I hear Chester chewing on something!! I better go investigate!!
