Trying a new way to start my day…
Usually I am HORRIBLE to get up in the morning. I try to wait and wake up at the last possible minute and usually don’t eat breakfast ending up at work seconds from when I need to get at work.
But today , even though I couldn’t sleep and didn’t get to sleep until 2:30, I got up at 7:45 in the morning and had a bowl of cereal. It was a start, and even though I ate the bowl in the comfort of my electric blanket in my room, it was the beginning of changing some things.
Trying to not let the man get me down and just do what I do well.
Yesterday I cleaned out the garage of stuff and threw out nearly a dumpster full of stuff, moved a pile of clothes to the donate to goodwill stack and did some cleaning.
Next stop is the “Garage Sale of all Garage Sales.” I’m probably going to give it to a friend who is having a moving / garage sale and take whatever I can get. If it’s been stuck in my garage and collecting dust I DON’T NEED IT!
I cleaned up my poker game on Sunday and looked at the -EV play that I have made myself do because of the games I play. Back to Vegas strategy. Play Tight, Play Aggressive and PLAY THE PLAYER, NOT THE HAND!
Also it’s time to call the Doc and get Mugsy his shots, which will mean listening to him mope around.
My friend Mike Dalby was worried about me Saturday when I couldn’t even smile during our groups Christmas party. I just couldn’t get into it. I thought it was more interesting to watch Texas Tech beat OU again on videotape than to really socialize at all.
I was down also because it doesn’t look like I will be able to go home for X-mas. I hate to disappoint my grandmother , who wants to see me home, but everything is on a wait and see attitude.
Last night I found something in the garage that may have turned the tide of my depression I was in around. Sometimes a picture can remind you of times when you just didn’t care and when I was truly happy.
Time to get that smile fully back on the face.
