abbadabba's Journal, 01 Sep 10

Day 11
It's technically Wednesday, but I am counting this journal entry as Tuesday - 1 am and I am at work! Ate lightly today and have been counting calories and I am not doing as badly as I thought!

Anyway, I have to say, work is not going so badly these days because the workers don't have anything to do while their subcontractor is working, so I have been hanging around talking with them - makes the night go faster!

Also, the 36-year-old from the dating site has been texting me since yesterday, called me last night and also called me tonight. I am working on having a positive attitude and I am taking all the advice from all quarters as best as possible! Not sure what will happen with this new romantic interest, but hearing a male voice trying to impress me has been fun.

Today's grateful list: I am grateful for the men I work around - the ones who are just friendly, the ones who work hard and like to talk on their breaks, the ones who hit on me even when I am dressed in my hard hat and oversized neon yellow vest and orthotic shoes!

Grateful for my home, my children, my pets, my air conditioning! Temps got up into the 90's today! Grateful that my daughters are looking forward to school, but still have last minute things they need from me! Older daughter needed to know how to fix her anime costume, her little horned hat and her fingerless gloves, for an upcoming event - this is her third year at school so she doesn't need anything mundane.

I rented a hall and hired a band for my birthday party - my birthday is 10-10-10 this year! I'll be 10! lol! Somehow it seemed like an especially important day to celebrate. Now to get out the invitations! I got some fancy paper with rocks and a Zen garden on it, thinking I'd do something fancy-schmancy Zen-like party, but the band is a 60's rock and roll group so now the party is a "Rock n Roll Birthday Party" and the paper fits the theme perfectly. I think forcing myself to do something so positive has been a great help - got a new therapist this week and the only piece of advice she had was to recommend a caterer! So I must be on the right track.

I must be coming around - I have been tracking food for days now!

Hope you all had a great Tuesday and I'll try to catch up earlier tomorrow. Thank you to all who read this, and those who comment - I am very heartened that you are all out there just trying to do your own things and will still share with me!
