I'm doing 8 things
4th of July was a disaster. She was soooo grumpy and whiny, and she didn’t enjoy it at all. It was so discouraging. :( It’s so hard for me to deal with her grumpiness and anger. I’m not sure if its normal or not.
Today she had a bad morning with her dad while I was at work, but in the afternoon, we kept it mellow. We did a science project in which we made a salt time, and I helped her to manage her frustration when it didn’t work right. Later we went swimming which we loved, and she even went into the hot tub with me a little bit. She played and watched videos on the computer while I graded papers. She took 81 photographs of two of her toy cats and then we made a slide show.

I’m not doing too well on this yet. I downloaded a timer, but I have many important legitimate things to do on the internet. I’m not sure how to set up a distinction between what is helpful and productive and life enhancing vs. what is a waste of my time.
I’ve been doing my exercise plan for three weeks now. There’s no change in my weight, and I still have my flab. I don’t think it’s making a difference with the chronic pain I have at night.
But … I do have more ENERGY for sure. I can now make it through most of the day without feeling like I have to pass out, and the fogginess is lifting. This is really wonderful!
