you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Even an old broad like me can still learn new things. Yesterday was a very busy day. Jason was here at 8:30, just as I got home from the gym. I helped him when needed with the bathroom door, microwave etc, gave both the dogs haircuts, got some much needed therapy digging weeds out of the front garden, and then met Terry and Jeff when they got here, helping lug concrete out and down to the bottom of the yard, picking up stuff, etc till they left about 9. I was exhausted, but filthy, so I had a shower upstairs, as the tenants aren't here, and then crawled into bed. I woke up about 1 with a migraine, too tired to get up and take something, and just felt really lousy. I tossed and turned for an hour, before I realized I was hungry. I had not eaten as regularly as usual and hadn't had enough food. I got up, had 2 light baby bells and a pint of blueberries. My headache disappeared and I went right back to sleep. So not only am I problem solving and being aware even when I'm tired and stressed, I got up in the middle of the night and ate real food to satisfy real hunger!! It did not even cross my mind to have junk!!

Lots of other wonderful things happened today to, not the least of which include that Jen made me a real supper and I got to play with the boys a bit, and Jeff and Terry got all the plumbing in the floor done, as well as the vents. Epic! I also got more therapy in the dirt and attended a panel discussion with other graduates at several clinics this afternoon. So awesome, and so tired. Did I mention that I finished the jackhammering??

To bed, elly
