I've taken a few days off for myself. I was doing alright until yesterday. I had some problems w/ the boyfriend. My mood changes drastically when I feel I am not pleasing someone. My ego took over. I made some not so wise food decisions and I was upset; so I ended up sick for the rest of the night. Before bed, I realized I had to get back to loving myself. I overslept. My meals have been ill-timed; and I haven't had enough water. I spent way too much time online. I haven't meditated or done breathing excercises yet. Big mistake. I even promised myself I would do them after I got one more thing done. That's where things started going haywire. I tried to get things done; rather than just be. I'm better off focusing on myself right now. Tomorrow I have to see the gynecologist, so I can get a picture of my ovaries; and she can tell me I have few eggs left, I'm menopausal, and I need hormones. I'm not taking hormones; and I don't believe I'm menopausal. I do need a pause from men though

. At least I'll get outdoors tomorrow, although its going to be really hot. I've been holed up here all day in the same clothes I've been wearing since Monday,making a mess of my place. My legs are swelling from lack of movement. All in all, I'm enjoying time off. I'm used to always doing something. I guess I'm afraid if I stop, I'll go back into the deep depression I had for so many years. I had to be alone for awhile and slow down to start getting closer to myself. I wish I had a few more days off. Just rambling today. Maybe later I'll talk about my triumphs and inspirations. Life is Beautiful! -Jess
