Don't Give Up

Yesterday I wasn't too happy...sort of depressed. So, I worked out with my new tennis shoes - Yay for the new tennis shoes! Then, Kristie and I got the car washed, and spent about an hour and a half at Whole Foods - had lunch there and then went shopping. That is some grocery store! Spent way too much money but got yummy fruit and vegies, breads and treats. Picked up two prescriptions - it seems much of my time is spent calling in prescriptions and picking up prescriptions - THAT is annoying! then we came home, had some of those treats while watching Oprah - Bill Cosby was on - love him! - and then took a two hour nap.

Kristie and I then had a late dinner with yummy food from Whole Foods. We watched American Idol together and watched with sadness as Amanda was voted into the Top 12...sigh. But, the 11 others definitely deserved to be voted in the Top 12! It'll be fun to watch.

Kristie went to listen to music and I watched Celebrity Apprentice and the movie, Michael Clayton, with George Clooney. Both were great.

To bed at 11 and woke up at 7 a.m. this morning. Was feeling guilty about yesterday but have decided that is ridiculous! I refuse to feel guilty for yesterday...maybe I just needed a day off?!

So I was having my daily devotional time with Joyce Meyer's New Day New You book and the scripture for today was Galatians 6:9 which says: And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap. If we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

Sometimes when I have days like yesterday, I feel like I'm giving up, but the reality is that I cannot work 24/7...I get burned out. In addition, I cannot think about Kristie's illness 24/7, sometimes, I just need to take a nap and do whatever the heck I want to.

Today my attitude is better. I'm going to rearrange my office because the clutter is just choking me so that when I do go to work in that space, it will be a happier space.

Tomorrow Nigel and I are going to find a 5 burner cooktop for the kitchen. The current cooktop has two burners and they do not simmer...its frustrating. If anyone has a cooktop they are happy with, please let me know the brand name.

Monday is doctor day with Kristie - pray her numbers are good. Thanks!
