yesterday was awesome. i found myself sitting on the couch at noon drinking my (now rare!) cup of coffee after a run, some saturday morning disney shows, a walk with aldy, and some yard work and thinking "this is the best day ever." at the same time i thought that, i also thought that was so out of my character as of late--to just be totally, blissfully happy with what i was and was not doing? not happening much lately.
we traveled to cincinnati to have a great rib dinner with family. watched the cavs lose, inhaled 60 people's cigarettes at a bar, and slept in a bed that had to have been smaller than a twin. my attitude quickly spiraled downward. upon returning home today, i was faced with the fact that i had to finish my paperwork before 8:00 monday morning, my throat, nose, and back hurt, i was tired, and more than tired i was just grumpy.
it was so hard to find that same bliss i felt yesterday. i feel better about life when i'm getting things done, but i continue to struggle with deciding on what i want to get done. i'll have to figure this out eventually, but until then i will be frequenting noodles & company and getting a big ol' bowl of their macaroni and cheese, followed by a ginormous rice crispy treat. i refuse to look at their website for nutritional information; it's comfort at its finest.
any other (healthier) suggestions for maintaining a positive mental attitude through everyday (non-)events are welcome.
