Day 121

Thursday, January 26, 2017

Temperature: High 40° / Low 32°

What Kind of Day Did I Have & Why?

I woke up in great spirits and carried them along with me for the rest of the day. I like to think that I’m back! Yesterday was rough, but I think I made a breakthrough. I’m back feeling comfortable recording, got my work done, got back into Desti Land and all feels normal again.

How Do I Feel? Health/Lupie Status?

My pain was at a 4.5 today and I was really worried about it because I was so stressed out yesterday. Luckily, it didn’t get to me and I feel fine. My energy level was on 1000 on all day too!
Okay, maybe not 1000...I’ll say it was on 500 today!

Workout Time & Duration?

I was feeling so good when I woke up, that I did a few test recordings and took my ass to the gym super early! Like 10 am early… and it was great! I planned on going again this evening, but I needed to get dinner going and prep for our meeting with our wedding planner, Joyce.

And I would have been doing too much anyway.

Destination Wedding Task Tackled:

Today we had our Skype meeting with our wedding planner Joyce and it went beautifully! We went through all of our updates thus far which was mainly lighting & decor discussions and restaurant options. She told us that we are doing GREAT on timing and let us know what we can expect in the next few months and

I am HYPE!

We gave her some homework, she gave us some back and we will come back together in probably another month or so!

Time is a tickin!!!

Any Old Destination Wedding Tasks Making a Comeback?

Nope!


Loving Black Love Moment? | What am I happy for?

I’m happy to have a fiance that asks me questions I should already know the answer to...because I usually don’t know...

Che asked me what time my dress fitting/alterations appointment with Debbie is tomorrow and my answer was:
11….:30 ish??? Yes, as a question.
Should I know, YES... but did I? NO

and what was the actual time? 10!


I would have been late to the appointment that I have been looking oh-so-forward to if it weren’t for Che! That is a dual What am I Happy for AND Loving Black Love Moment! He knows me and loves me no matter how awful I am at keeping my calendar!
He loves my imperfect ass and I love his perfect-ish ass right back!

 


What could I have done better?

Nothing. I think I handled today well, and I don’t know where to put this part, so it is going here…

I reached out to schedule my appointment with my therapist Julie and we’re going to meet early next week - that Feelings Wheel is definitely coming out! My appointment is on Tuesday...I think...we know how I am with my calendar

Whenever it is, I’m excited about it!

What am I doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow is Friday

AND

Dress Fitting Day!!!
