Day 4 (relax)

So “relax” is the word stuck in my head right now. Tonight is movie night here on 1JPW. First we watched Zoolander, then The Wedding Singer. Not only do both movies have the beautiful Christine Taylor, both feature the song “Relax” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

I have no idea what this song is about, I’ve never paid attention to the lyrics. But I know I definitely need to relax. I’ve been so stressed out lately. I need to figure out better coping methods to deal with stress and not get so worked up over stuff that I can’t change. I can’t change what happens to me, but I can change how I react to these things.

I’m still having the same dietary problems, where they’re bringing me cookies, cake, cinnamon rolls, etc. My doctor yesterday said that if there was something I know I shouldn’t eat, I can just leave it on the tray. Hmm… if I had enough willpower to refuse to eat cinnamon rolls that are just sitting in front of me, I wouldn’t be fat.

Anyways, the past few days have been pretty good. I got to chat with Megan and Lisa on Facebook. I texted Missy a little (happy birthday still!). Lori chatted with me on Google.

Some better news is that all my precautions have been lifted, so now I can wear all my clothes again. I was really excited to get my shoes, because three days of walking barefoot have been brutal on my feet.

Even better, I had visitors today. Drew came and brought me more clothes. Rusty came to visit. But best of all, Kate brought the kids to see me. We got to play Sorry. I lost badly. But it was so awesome to spend time with them!!!
