Tires, Bookstores, and The Lady Pills Begin

The past few days have improved greatly over the first part of last week. Bad news is my car repairs have been delayed another 3 days, so I'm stuck with the rental (which has a faulty tire that has required 2 refills of air in the 4 days I've had it) until Friday. But good news is that I had a great weekend. Don't want to list too many details because some of it involved community stuff that would make me a tad identifiable, but it was awesome. I'd been in a blue mood for most of last week, but spirits were definitely lifted over the weekend. And I got a date night with Match, who earns more and more points every time I see him. Celebrating six month anniversary tomorrow! (I am in total need of some nonpublic Girl Talk. My mom and I are pretty open, but she's so busy with school these days, and it's something I am a little hesitant to broach with her. Guess it will wait til therapy on Wednesday).

Also, I've done well with my self-imposed challenges this week. If you recall, the goal was to do 3 half days and an intermediate day, for the period from last Wednesday through tomorrow. Today was my third half day, score! And I did one that was a little over the "intermediate" threshold that C. defined a while back, but still less than full. Maybe if I do one of those again tomorrow, it will average out to a legit intermediate. And by the way, support from you guys has been awesome. I apologize for putting you on the spot, CG, but when you commented to check in on me regarding the exercise stuff this afternoon, my Blackberry pinged with the comment notification while I was literally in my car on the way to the gym. I detoured and stopped at the bookstore instead. THAT is something that can keep me occupied for hours, so works well as a distraction. And now I am on track for a Sticker Week. Thanks for keeping me accountable!

In other news, I started on the Provera yesterday. It's been less than 24 hours, so no noticeable difference yet. I had virtually no appetite this morning, didn't eat breakfast until really late (I did eat the full amount), which could have been a sign of mild nausea...but part of me wonders if I'm just expecting it so I'll search for signs that aren't really there.

So this post has kind of been all over the board. In a nutshell, despite a few niggling issues I am really feeling a lot better about the world in general this week. I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!
