Weekend Positivity

Extremely tired after a sorta messy sleep schedule this weekend, so I'm going to bed early tonight...after finishing this of course!

I am proud of:

• doing all my laundry.
  
• putting all my laundry away the same weekend I did it!
  
• grading an exam very quickly.
  
• expressing my wants better than usual.
  
• making a dentist appointment (for tomorrow, eep).
  

I enjoyed:

• chocolate cheesecake (still).
  
• weekend events with my boyfriend.
  
• smiling so much my cheeks hurt.
  
• reading most of a book in one day.
  
• getting a visit from the stationery fairy (free notepads, pens, and pencils, woo!).
  

I love:

• my boyfriend.
  
• my cat.
  
• getting things done.
  
• kisses.
  
• discworld.
  

Take care, all. :)

Almost forgot again. I was about to go to bed, but I decided to try to fire off some positives first!

I am proud of:

• letting someone know when I found comments unhelpful and talking about it.
  
• posting photos without belittling my photography.
  
• going to the clinic to take care of my illness.

Holiday "Weekend" Positivity

I got home laaaate Sunday wanting to do nothing but shower, so I'm using today's holiday status as a weekend extension for my post.

I am proud of:

• getting some grading done very quickly (same day!).
  
• being honest about an insecurity that had me down.
  
• coping okay with something upsetting, and talking about being upset.
  
• teaching through illness.
  
• trying more new things.
  

I enjoyed:

• medicine made to make illnesses suck less.
  
• time with my boyfriend in cool places.
  
• remembering helpful things.
  
• getting really into reading like I used to.
  
• having my fevered warmth transferred away with snuggling (just one of many awesome snuggle contexts from the week).
  

I love:

• hugs.
  
• my boyfriend.
  
• chocolate.
  
• reading.
  
• my kitty.
  

Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

Well, I almost forgot, to be honest...but as always I define the night as ending when I go to sleep, so there is still time!

I am proud of:

• getting an incomplete grade taken care of.
  
• grading exams and returning them in 48 hours.
  
• going over a year without engaging in my favorite bad habit (as of June 12th, apparently).
  
• doing a crapton of dishes.
  
• doing all my laundry today (just finishing up now, but close enough!)
  

I enjoyed:

• playing with the cat.
  
• taking up a little sewing project, no matter how iffy it turned out.
  
• reading (I finished Good Omens and moved onto Guards! Guards!)
  
• being incapacitated by bizarrely ticklish things.
  
• finally remembering to buy brownie ingredients!
  

I love:

• my boyfriend (and his silliness, and his awesomeness).
  
• brownies.
  
• my kitty, who now poops in the litter box again, not on the floor!
  
• being able to set aside my crazy to try new things, and enjoy them.
  
• sweet potato fries (without marshmallow dip!).
  

Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

I have missed a couple of weeks. I was considering dropping the idea altogether, but I reminded myself that being positive is supposed to help with my biggest mental health hangup, self-esteem. Thus, I shall resume (and keep going with as few gaps as possible, I hope!)

I am proud of:

• keeping my goal weight.
  
• coming back and posting here.
  
• asking for something I wanted and getting it.
• cleaning up/revamping the cat's bathroom to encourage her to use it properly.
  
• persevering in a very difficult quest to get information about therapy.
  

I enjoyed:

• dinners out, particularly the dinner-for-two times.
  
• getting to teach again.
  
• being fortunate enough to receive a car when I needed one very very much.
  
• getting better at taking pictures.
  
• road trips to interesting places with nice people.
  

I love:

• my boyfriend.
  
• my cat.
  
• test banks.
  
• eggplant parmigiana.
  
• calculus.
  

Take care, all. :)

This has been a great day, and the week overall has gone pretty well, despite some setbacks. Up way too late, so I'm just going to fire off the positives post and head to bed!

I am proud of:

• pretty much reaching my weight loss goal.
  
• exercising twice this week, on Friday and Saturday (making it exceedingly hard on myself), but I still did it!
  
• scheduling (cancelled the first and made another) and going to my first eye doctor appointment ever.
  
• picking out some lovely frames and ordering glasses, managing to accidentally haggle a nice discount.
  
• staying calm when my car died.
  

I enjoyed:

• getting new Words with Friends opponents.
  
• amazingly entertaining conversations with my boyfriend.
  
• laughing until my face hurt.
  
• seeing the world remarkably clearly (take that, astigmatism!)
  
• trying a new mmorpg with a friend.
  

I love:

• my boyfriend.
  
• my life.
  
• my cat.
  
• pasta.
  
• my smartphone.
  

Take care, all. :)
