Making the Preparations

I ordered myself a pizza with the understanding that I will also order a salad and I will be working on things around the house to prepare for the weekend I think I will have. This way I will be prepared for the weekend that followed the week that I was terribly unprepared for.
I don't want to think about all of the paperwork that I have to do for work. It gives me a knot in my stomach and I want to be able to eat my pizza and enjoy it. What's on the agenda for the night?
Take vitamins
Fill dishwasher
Run dishwasher
Empty dishwasher
Start laundry
Make shopping list that includes items for Sunday
Empty garbage cans and take garbage out because it smells like rotten watermelon...
Have you ever accidentally tried rotten watermelon? You might have purposefully tried it but that's just weird so i'm going to assume you might've accidentally tried it. It's gross. It leaves this horrendous rotten taste in your mouth that you might not have noticed after the first bite because your brain is trying to tell you it's delicious, but your mouth is like 'are you crazy? spit that out.'. Kind of like when your brain tells you to pick up something from the microwave or stove and your hands are like 'dude seriously? ouch? hello?'.
Plan outfit for tomorrow.
Plan elizabeth's outfit for tomorrow.
Needless to say, there was a delay in my brain realizing the watermelon was rotten and i had to run into the kitchen and spit it out. Because i'm a fatty when it comes to eating in front of the tv and i eat in front of the tv. that's in my bedroom.
Open the window in the bedroom to let cool air in while air cond is off.
Listen for pizza guy and hope he didn't get lost...
Share pizza crust w/ Pete bc he was a good boy and ate his breakfast when you got home from work.
hey, better late than never. don't judge.
STRETCH!!
my trainer always tells me to stretch and i say/think 'okay yes! stretching is good! flexibility is a weak point! i will remember!' and then i don't. i don't remember and i don't stretch except for that kitty cat stretch i do when i wake up in the morning as a way of asking the morning to kiss my ass.
Everyone should do that stretch. I'll make you feel less resentful of the morning sun that accompanies the morning, if that's an issue. Or your phone alarm. Or your parent or significant other who wakes you up but seriously that's a qualm of mine--why can't you get your own ass out of bed? I don't care how resentful you are of the morning (or afternoon, depending), take responsibility for getting yourself out of bed. For crying out loud. I can't tell you how many patients i've had in group and they don't call out of program, their mom or dad calls them out of program because 'they're still sleeping'. Nonsense. This is a pillar of adulthood. Unless you're suffering from a condition that prohibits you from rousing yourself, learn how to get out of your own way. It can feel so empowering, really, i mean it. Develop your own waking ritual. And then offer yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Every small step should be recognized. Even if your mom or dad or significant other (or the morning sun) is thinking 'took you long enough'.
With that, i'll leave you to your thoughts and mine. Perhaps i'll make this a regular thing again. I don't know, i can't predict the future, but i'll give it a go once again.
Wish me luck and good night :).
