I don't really even remember Thursday. I know that I went to therapy. That's it. That's all I've got.
Friday was busy. j^C and I drove to South Carolina in order to deliver That Sprout for a visit with her grandparents. We had a nice dinner with his mom, and then we went to watch Iron Man 3. I'm told that there's some great controversy about The Mandarin. I don't care. I liked the thing about The Mandarin, I really liked the movie, and I LOVE TONY STARK.
On Saturday we watched Pain and Gain and I laughed more or less the whole way through. I know it's a true story, and I'm sorry that people suffered and died, but as a movie I found it incredibly entertaining to watch these idiots do stupid things. Say what you want about Michael Bay, but the man can make a fun movie.

Sunday was another long drive to South Carolina in order to retrieve That Sprout.
Monday . . . was j^C's birthday! I had planned to go big with a cake, a card, some presents, and a tasty meal. That didn't happen. I had a doctor's appointment that morning and then I needed to gather some things at the store for his birthday dinner and by the time I got home I had very little time to get everything else together. We wound up having a tasty meal and some banana pudding. I think I'm going to seriously begin considering "Un-Birthdays", complete with cake, ice cream, cards, presents, decorations, and the whole nine yards. Why? Because things sneak up on me.

At least I didn't freak out about it. I'm really trying to embrace calm in my life. Yesterday was quite trying as I found out that there are some serious issues with my Teacher Ready courses (Money, Mentor, and Time Management). Long story short: I'm behind and getting further and further behind everyday. There's not a lot I can do about it though. All I can do is work on the things I can control and let the rest of it go, which is what I have been doing. I'll tell you this: It feels really good not being stressed out.
Yesterday was also the day that I began my weight loss paper trail that may or may not lead to weight loss surgery. This whole thing is a very hard thing for me. There's a lot of pride tied up in it, but if I try my absolute hardest for the next six months and still see no progress, then I'm ready and willing to throw in the towel and get the lap band. I am going to believe, however, that I can achieve some change in that time.
Can you tell that I've become a little bit more Zen?
