Hi Deneb,
I'm trying to distract myself too.
Here's what I've done today:I went to the grocery store with a list that I made yesterday in a moment of lucidity.
Then I came home and cut up all my vegetables and put them in containers. Now I have a virtual salad bar. I will be able to make lunch tomorrow, saving 5.50, over buying it at a cafe at work.
I bought chicken breasts, and used a heavy pan to pound them really thin. Since I'm cooking for one these days, I rolled up the chicken breasts with ham and swiss cheese on the inside, secured them with toothpicks and put them in individual freezer bags for a rainy day.
Then I was mopey for a long while (not that I wasn't mopey when I was puttering about the kitchen, but I was somewhat distracted with smashing meat) Pounding meat is Highly Recommended, as anti-depressant & anti-anxiety; should you happen to discover that you have no yeast with which to make bread.
I walked to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions and buy a carton of epsom salts, and get more vitamins and fishy oils.
Then I got myself together, made dinner. It took 8 minutes to make: pan- seared steak, red salad (radicchio, red bell peppers, sliced radishes, feta and vinaigrette) with berries and (WAY too much) whipped cream for dessert.
Then I moped some more
I painted my fingernails. (Clear)Then I got out my little dixie cups, and laid out 2 rows of 7 cups. I put my vitamins and such and my medicines in morning and evening doses. (I've been forgetting to take them regularaly (the supplements, not the meds!)
Next I'm going to have a long soaky bath (spa night!) and put me to bed early, so that I can get up early tomorrow and exercise.
I would Luuuuv to see your hamster, if you get one. They're my favorite rodents :)
I have not planned to do anything bad to myself today. It was tricky, but I managed to leave the demons off of my list.
