My Life Thus Far

"The fact remains that the birth cycles of all sentient
beings are beginningless, and that countless times in
previous lives we have each fulfilled the role of a
mother. The feeling of a mother for her child is a classic
example of love.
For the safety, protection, and welfare of her children, a
mother is ready to sacrifice her very life. Recognizing
this, children should be grateful to their mothers and
express their gratitude by performing virtuous deeds."
Today would have been yet another 5 star day if it weren't
for the PMS which is causing me much torment. It's moments
like this that make it SUCK to be a girl! My back and
boobs are sore (I've got a really sore lump in my right
breast, but I'm hoping it's only period related. Mom had
breast cancer at my age), I'm fatigued, I have a headache
and I'm irritable as all get-out. Feel sorry for my
family. I do. So, aside from the physical being, all else
is well.
Gen and I worked out again this morning. It's nice having
her there, because even I need motivation at times. I was
dragging ass today, but she spurred me along just enough
to see me through to the end. I know I wouldn't have quit,
but it's nice having support. We went to lunch again, this
time a super-healthy soup and salad meal at Subway. It's
hard to eat bad at Subway, unless you binge on cookies,
which I have done before :( NOT TODAY, THOUGHT! I've been
a very good girl. Oprah would be proud.
Gen forced me to make my doctor's appointment today, which
was a good thing, because as it turns out, she's booked
solid until mid August. I don't have enough meds to make
it until then, so I'm going to have to pawn some off the
emergency department. I've done it before for Kiki. I take
her in to get treated just until her appointment with the
pediatrician. They understand their system is flawed and
people have to do what they have to do to be seen.
Snookums and I did grocery shopping today. He wasn't happy
that all I allowed was good-for-you-type stuff to enter
our cart. He wasn't allowed to stray too far into the
aisles. Everyone knows all the healthy, unrefined foods
are along the outside of the grocery store. The bakery,
meat, produce and dairy sections. He's slightly irritated,
but it's for his own good. He'll thank me when he's 20
pounds lighter.
I must be going now. I've still got my studies to attend
to and Snookums and I are having tea and biscuits (German
tea biscuits, 130 calories for 6 of them, not American
biscuits. Those are not allowed). I don't want it to get
too late for me to eat. No eating 3 hours before bed,
remember? Ciao and have a good night.
