So far so good

Two days of eating well and trying to stay positive achieved.

The gremlins that follow me around tried to sabatoge my computer yesterday. Initially I went back to my old way of thinking that I’m jinxed and should give up at this so called life. Then I remembered I’m faking positivism and that I can handle obstacles (which I’m being pegged with from every direction). I trudged through and fixed my computer long before the help desk guys could blink an eye.

My daughter who is going through her terrible twos refuses to cooperate with anything. My ideas and plans get thwarted by her all the time now. Last night she even objected to going to the mall to relish in holiday decorations and hot chocolate, all things she used to love to do. She objected until I resigned myself to doing something else and it got too late to go, at which point she decided she wanted to go and that we had to open the mall. The new tantrum ensued. She has been my biggest impetus for my learning to go with the flow and staying positive regardless.

The past two days have been good. Staying calm helped things move along more smoothly and I felt like I had more time to myself. I guess I did because I spent (a little) less time stewing in my insanity and self pity.
