A Serious Reset
Back in the 90s, one of my friends noted that in every made-for-TV movie, at some point a character exclaims “I just want my life back!” Not to be overly dramatic, but that’s how I’m starting to feel. After eating a little on Monday, Muffin is not eating again. She won’t eat the cat crack or the tuna, and I’m extremely worried. A commenter, Donna, suggested chicken broth and I’m going to try that. Meanwhile I have a call in to the vet but haven’t heard back yet. Come on- we paid you $500. Call me back!!! Meanwhile, my hamstring has picked this time to start hurting again. I felt it on my run yesterday- Seriously? NOW? I thought you were all better. Now I’m completely thrown off my schedule- should I run tomorrow? Get on the Stairmaster instead? What is happening to me? Oh, and my digestion decided to take a nosedive as well. Could it be stress? Perhaps. Yesterday I was so stressed that I ate an entire box of crackers- granted- they were “healthy” crackers made with almond flour, but you’re still not supposed to eat an entire box in one sitting. (Ironically- my gut felt much better today. I guess it turns out crackers really stop you up. Maybe I need to go on a “cracker only”diet. hahaha). (Sigh). *Maybe I just need to pull back and not focus on myself so much— ACK NO DON’T DO THAT! The world is a dumpster fire!!! Focus inward! Inward!* Anyway… last night I slept horribly and feel like absolute crap today! There’s only one thing to do… as Laura Vanderkam says, the adult’s version of sleeping in is going to bed early. I’ve let my family know I’ll be getting in bed at 8 pm, and I mean it! What do you do when you need a reset? Is eating an entire box of crackers ever a good idea?
