Hi guys,
 
Well today I travelled. My hubby was super nice and he drove me! That is a lot of driving for one day. Expecially since he had to drive back home after! So I cheated and avoid the bus or train lol. But I did manage to stay clam in the car despite the huge highways so I am proud nonetheless!
 
So here I am in the big city alone. At least it is a nice neighboorhood. There is a cute little veggy and fruit market near here. So I went to buy groceries there all by myself! Then I went to the grocery store for the bread stuff and meat. I was pretty proud of myself.
 
Then I got back here and I did my work for my boss. Had a deadline for tomorrow. So now I am on vacation till I get new requests from her!
 
Then I took a nice hot bath to try and relax and I came to post lol. Now I have to go eat.
 
I must admit I feel nervous. Ok, I am feeling scared. I am not used to the noises here or to be so alone. I feel a bit scared. Expecially with nightime and bedtime coming! Bedtime is a scary time for me! But I am sure I will be just fine. So here is to being a girly in the big city!

Hi Diva
 
Hope you enjoy the trip. Sure it will be great experience. Anyway- the amazon is no way near as scary as a big city!!!!!! Give me the wilds of the jungle any day over the concrete jungle!!!

Diva,
 
Thanks for keeping us updated!
 
You mentioned you have been challenging those negative thoughts. How has that been working for you?
 
It sounds like this trip will be a nice way for you to also challenge yourself! And you are so right, your work will definitely help you take your mind off other things.

Hi guys,

Well today was tough mental health wise but it was ok marriage wise. No miracles have gotten operated over the last 2 days but it was ok. Today I would say about two thirds of "The plan" got done. Then again I am just as guilty as he is for the other 3rd not getting doen so I have zilch to say on that lol. So I think it is a good start! 2/3 is pretty good! I would even say it is a passing grade! So, that helps a lot. It helps me feel less awful.

As for me I am tired and anxious today. Mostly I feel guilty and lame and like a failure. But I am challenging those thought and I am sure it will pass. I got nothing productive done today and that ways on me. My husband tells me to stop being so hard on myself. I feel like I am not being hard enough. But I know, there is no point in theese thoughts and feelings. All I can do is see what good I can do now and do my best.

As for other news. I will be going on a little trip soon. I am taking my laptop with me though. I know, I know, poor all of you canèt get rid of me that easily ! I am scared out of my wits though. I will be at my dadès appartment alone for 3 days (only 2 nights but still!!!). I needed time to think and my dad offered me his appartment in another town. So nice of him. So I am taking a train all by my lonesome, to a big city! A BIG one. Then I am taxiing myself over to his place and staying there for 3 days. You can understand that I am happy to get away and yet utterly terrified! But hey, we will see how it goes.
 
On top of it, I have work to do before Monday. My boss needs a completed project by Monday morning. SO I a working on my trip it seems. I bet the work will be welcome to stop me from being scared lol. Hahaha, you would think I was skydiving into the amazon by myself without a guide hehehe.
 
So I will keep you posted!

Hi Diva!
 
Glad to hear today was better.  Being married is a lot of work but it sounds like you have a plan and are willing to work on it.   I know it will work out the way it was meant too...
 
Thinking of you :)

Hello Gene,
 
Thanks so mch for your encouragement. It means so much to me. I really needed that! I really appreciate your kindness!
 
I will keep this post brief as I have barely slept and as such am not at my best lol! But I did want to say I don't feel as awful as yesterday and I did get some very important stuff done today despite everything !
 
Have a great day!
