Confession Thursday
Re: Confession Thursday
Don't put off the surgery!!! You are just delaying the inevitable. Deep breaths. You are going to be nervous, but don't let it get the best of you. Like I said, go out to dinner tonight and go see a movie with DH. You could always call the doctor's office and ask them for something to take the edge off. They might give you something.
My confession is that I had my first breakdown last night because of our low carb diet. I was soooooo cranky yesterday and when we went to bed, I just lost it. I hate the low carb thing. I am still cranky today but not as bad. Hopefully it will pass quickly.
Pocky, I know you're nervous, but don't cancel the surgery!! Instead of worrying about the surgery, think about how much better you will feel in a few days.
Cathy, I don't know how you're doing low carb. I tried that for about a week in college and I was so nasty, no one would go near me. My parents kept leaving me and going out for dinner (and the low carb thing was my mom's idea...) and my friends were leaving me out of plans. When I started eating carbs again, I got a collective "Woohoo!!!"
My confession is we put an offer in on a house last night and it wasn't rejected, but wasn't countered. The seller's bottom line is about $15,000 more than our max. We loved the house, but the bedrooms are a bit small. I've been kind of nervous thinking about the bedroom size. I am sort of happy to know we tried, but we know it won't work out. Our dream home is out there somewhere!
I confess that I wish I never went down the Ph.D. path! Every time I get close to finishing, something happens that puts me a few more months behind. Also, job prospects in the sciences are just terrible right now and funding for science is in jeopardy if the whole government sequester goes through. I just want to finish so DH and I can finally go on our honeymoon!
Pocky, don't cancel the surgery! Everything is going to be fine! I know it's super scary, but I told my friend who had brain surgery this summer that you're going to go to sleep and next thing you know you'll be waking up and it'll be over.
Cathy, I personally don't believe in any diet that makes anything completely off limits. I believe in everything in moderation, eat less, and move more is the key to weight loss. DH tried the Paleo diet a few years ago and it was so ridiculous and so restrictive that there was no way he was going to maintain that long term (it lasted for like 2 months and that was it. I refused to participate, so I had to cook 2 different meals every night and that got old really quickly too.). They way I see it, my Italian relatives eat a little bit of pasta and bread with every meal and they are not overweight. So, I don't think that carbs are the enemy but eating too much of anything (and eating too many processed foods) is.
I can't keep it together at work today. I have no focus and just don't want to be here.
Also our roommate is moving out next week sometime, and that has been the only thing that keeps me from yelling at him. I swear now that he's going to be leaving he's intentionally leaving his shoes so I trip on them. He's driving me crazy!
Pocky, you'll be fine. The sooner you do it the sooner it's over. I'm the queen of cancelling appointment because I'm scared, but I always end up having to go anyway. It's better to just get it over with than put yourself through the anxiety of the upcoming appointment more than once. You're strong you can do this!!
I just realized I finished many bachelor's degree 5 years ago and its a reunion year at my college. I'm torn about going as I left there hating the place due to a bad experience with a few people who made my last couple of years there miserable. I may run into them and if I did run into them, they will either give me the stink eye from across the room or will act like that never happend just to find out
what happened since we left school. I have a lot going now, great job, masters degree, bought a house, and happily married. I would like to go so I can talk with previous professors and I do appreciate the education I received but I don't know if I'm really ready to go back and reminisce about the bad parts of my undergrad.
I confess I am livid and can only blame myself - tho I'm trying to blame H
We have court in the morning, his ex filed a joint motion 12/28/12 to change her sole custody to give him sole custody. My sd has been living with us since about then. We moved in to our apartment 12/14, her furniture came 12/15
My anger is founded in the reality that this has been terribly back and forth, due to her mother changing her mind. She continued the last court date. If there is not 'agreement' tomorrow, it will go to trial. Trial would be ugly and nasty.
My confession is that I never should have allowed her to be in our home, enroll her in school, on good faith. I should have stuck to my guns, and he should have had all the court stuff DONE before she came - because then the back and forth would not affect me. It affects me now, because there is a young lady blossoming in my home whom I love and could lose and I am furious that H could let his ex hurt me like that.
