Jun. 3rd, 2025 06:07 amThree good things:
- Last day of 2nd grade!!
- Getting a new camera battery so I can take high-res DSLR photos again... mostly of the cats
- The soreness in my arms from all the push-ups we did yesterday
(cw: diet talk)
I have been trying to fix my diet for yeeeaars, but absolutely lacked the willpower. Some of it was not wanting to do anything drastic around the kids, some of it was knowing I'd be eating their leftovers, but most of it was "why bother." I knew I'd need some strong motivation to finally Do Something. And I guess the severe PMDD symptoms were finally the motivation, because something deep in my brain went Click and now it's not a struggle. I'm just doing it.
And even though yesterday was a Rage Day (the first three days are usually the hardest) and all I wanted was a large chunk of cheese, it was easy to keep with it.
I keep finding myself saying "I hope this works" so it'll be worth it, but if it doesn't, I get to eat cheese with abandon, so literally no downside. Except the 2-4 days of being useless I'll still need to fix.
(end diet talk)
I planned this little beach trip almost a month ago and of course as soon as we get close, it turns out we're getting a massive load of thunderstorms exactly the days we'll be at the beach. *rubs forehead* After waiting to see if this was another "oh it's gonna totally rain!! ...psyche" I pushed our reservations out by a day. I talked to both Lady and CG about whether they'd rather spend a whole day inside at home or in a small hotel room and even just voicing the question aloud made the answer obvious. So we'll hopefully get there at the tail end of the storms, instead of right at the beginning, and actually get to beach. IDK. Fingers crossed.
And it gives me a little more time to work on work projects, which... well, that's a whole nother post. Maybe later.
