Weight: Don’t give a damn…ok fine, it’s 136.6, if you must know. Hairs pulled: about 25 (not great, not awful..prob less since I’m keeping track) Times snapped at child: 2 (v.g all things considered) Alcohol consumed: One glass of Apple Barn Applewood White with apple juice. Books Read: “Dragon Age: The Calling” by David Gaider Computer games played: None so far, but might do some Dragon Age since inspired by book.
Okay…day one of my self-therapy. Trich is usually treated by cognitive behavior therapy…which essentially boils down to making yourself aware of your bad habit so you can stop yourself. So, since I’ve been inspired by the Bridget Jones books to start keeping a diary, I’ll keep track of my trich.
6:00 – Power’s still out from the storm 2 nights ago. Joy. Must take shower…prob no hot water left after munchkin took her bath last night. Had to get her clean otherwise would’ve indulged in candlelit bath myself…could’ve used it.
6:05 – Barely-lukewarm/cool shower is v. bracing way to wake up in the morning. One advantage to being summer is that water didn’t get ice-cold at least.
8:00-4:30: V. boring day at work. Hard time staying awake…so tired from 2 days of tossing and turning. Spent more time shopping Coach outlet sale online and reading new Dragon Age book on Nook than doing actual work, I think. Funny that I used to scoff at Coach purses and the women that carried them, now I have one and want more. New Dragon Age book v. good…better than first one. Inspired to play some and write Hero/Anders fanfic that’s been bouncing in my head for past several days. Also wrote some on KNS website…like watching train-wreck with all the high-level stupidity that gets posted in there. Love playing “voice of reason”…guess that’s why I don’t get any replies. Got to piss people off to get attention….prob why people are obnoxious morons on there. Also found out that apparently cold showers are good for my hair…got compliments all day on how nice it looked.
5:00: Pick up Munchkin from school. Pay pool guy for key since I inadvertantly wrote check out to the wrong person. Freaked out wife since I wrote it ot to her and my handwriting looked like I’d written her maiden name and she couldn’t figure out how I knew what it was.
5:10: Open fridge after being off for 2 days…looks okay. Tried milk, tasted okay. So far, so good. Opened freezer…urgh, melted ice cream everywhere. Going to have to toss alot of stuff…grrr. Ah well, it was getting pretty full and there was plenty of stuff that needed to get tossed ages ago lurking in there, I’m sure.
5:15: Load dishwasher, scoop kitty’s litter box, refill water bowl.
5:20: Decide on quick and easy dinner of hot dogs on the grill. Soon as unwrap hot dogs, kitty decides to take nasty, smelly poop in litter box. Niiiice…why does he always poop when I’m fixing food? Blegh!
6:00: Hot dogs done, pour nice big glass of wine. I really want to take a nap.
6:25: Ate half of one hot dog…not hungry. Thirsty though…and want to take a big long nap.
6:30: Ah..thunder. Good….hopefully power won’t go out again, but good to know I wasn’t lying to kiddo when I said we couldn’t go to the pool because it was going to rain. Just didn’t want to go today…too tired. Going to play some Dragon Age I think….or read more in book.
8:30: Spent the past couple of hours snuggling with kitty and reading “Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason”. Love those books. See so much of me in Bridget…aside from the singleton part. Though feel like singleton alot of the time due to hubby being gone so much. Funny that she and I both had issues with someone named Daniel..who was an arrogant, womanizing prick in both cases. Wine consumed…but not feeling even fuzzy at all. Would have more, but no apple juice left to sweeten it up since Munchkin drank the last of it. Ah well. Wonder how a wine smoothie would taste. Could try out new Cuisinart smoothie maker bought the other day. But if I did that, Munchkin would want some too. Though might help her sleep, giving alcohol to a 6-year-old not sign of being good mommy.
10:00: Went to bed after playing a little Dragon Age, tucked Munchkin into bed, and read a bit more of The Calling. Nice rainfall and rumble of thunder to fall asleep to.
11:00: Getting downright nasty out there. Thought I heard a crack of a tree limb…or tree…breaking.
12:30: Is this storm ever going to end? Wish I could sleep through it like the kiddo.
1:30: Sounds like it’s finally slacking off. Yay…sleep.
2:00: Holy crap….that sounded like it hit right outside. Yup…pitter-patter of little feet. Guess that exceeded the threshhold of what kiddo can sleep through.
2:15: Ah snuggles…and maybe now it’s finally over.
