Holy Shhhhnnnooooow

We woke up to a nice heavy blanket of snow.  They boys were bummed, b/c they said if we were in Vancouver school would be canceled :)  It is pretty, and it adds to help get into the holiday mood.  I'm sure I'll be cussing the snow in no time, though.  It's supposed to be an insane winter out here.

Yesterday was day 2 of the anxiety meds.  They make me way sleepy.  I made myself work on X-Mas packages, though, once I dropped the boys off at school.  I worked for 5 straight hours and still have a shit load to do.  I was able to get packages off to AK, WA, and CO, though.  With each box, I'd get excited.  Getting closer to the end.  I've got to get back on it today, though.  It looks like Christmas threw up all over my living and dining room.  I've got shipping boxes, large envelopes, X-Mas cards, pictures, frames, wrapped gifts, advent calendars, X-Mas candy for the boxes, stuff to donate to charity, and unfinished stuff all over the place.  It looks Santa ransacked our house.  Oh well.  It's kinda fun!  I want to get most of the way through it today.  I've got a bit of a busy day, though (well, for me anyway).  My plan is to go to the club this morning and do treadmill then weights.  After that I'm meeting a new friend, Belinda for lunch.  I've only met her once before, but she seems cool.  It was nice of her to invite me out.  I'll compare finding new friends again to dating.  You hope they like you, and I hope I like them enough to want to hang out again.  All of this is contingent on the anxiety pill that is trying to put me to sleep right now.  Hope I can fight it off.  While in town, I'll also p/u my new head meds.  Should be an interesting day.

***Okay, I need to tell you about my lunch.  This lady is the doppelganger to Margaret (in personality!)  She is just like M.  It was so weird...  She laughs the same way, everything.  By the end of lunch, I even started to think that she looked like her.  It was so bizarre.  Anyway, it was a good luch, but

Thinking of you all.

Much love, Jen

p.s.  The diet is going so-so.  I start strong, and then don't do so well at lunch, and then don't eat enough at dinner.  I need to work on this.

Hey you!
I'd fallen behind in my readings of DOAFA, but now I'm all caught up! I especially enjoy your titles, quite clever young lady... Anxiety? Ha! I've been on meds for that for some time now. They help, but some days still really get to me. Today was one. Another friend mentioned to me that it's a full moon as well as close to the Solstice (meaning DARK), but whatever the reason today sucked. I'm trying to work on it. Get this, I go to pick up Luree from school today and the whole building smells like BACON. Now I know you're a veg / vegan now, but you've gotta admit that's one tasty smell. Mmmm. I'm a total emotional eater and I'm attempting not to go munch which is TA DA the reason I'm getting up to date on DOAFA!! :)
I'm glad to hear you are giving the meds a try, though there are many kinds out there so if you're still sleepy, check back with the doc, somethings not right. Hey, I totally suck at wrapping gifts as well. In fact, a couple of years ago I totally started boycotting ribbon and bows! I figure no one really cares, they're just ripping into them, right? Not sure if that's the truth or what I'm just telling myself... ;)
I'm glad to hear you're feeling more of the holiday spirit. Good Christmas music, some snow, and the smell of baking are always a pick me up around here. I miss you. HO HO HO.
