For the writers among us, tomorrow is the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.) I'm throwing my hat into the ring this year against my better judgement. But the photography project I spoke about yesterday has inspired me. I want to create something similar through a series of short stories and poems. It strays away from the idea of completing a single contiguous story in 50,000 words, but the project is for me, so therefor I'll write it how I want to.
Today, I'll leave work early to take my son in to get labs pulled. My ASD daughter needs hers done as well, but the Doctor is willing to wait until she goes into the Surgical Center for her dental work, so I don't have to have five people restrain her for it.It's much easier on her and I both if they can draw the bloodwork while she's under anesthesia.
My oldest is having to deal with some pretty grown up topics with her friends at school She has a couple of friends who have talked about self harm, and so she and I had a conversation about how she can help, and her responsibility to tell an adult when her friends talk about those things, as well as the need to tell someone if she ever thinks or feels that way. I never in a million years thought that was a conversation I would need to have with my children, but it turns out, it's probably one every parent should be having with their kids.
Yesterday my self restraint went out the window. I got out of my ASD daughter's counselling appointment, where we discussed hygeine, and different options to help her with her hygeine while accounting for the sensory processing issues she has, and I was really and truly hungry. I probably need to consider keeping a couple of low calorie snacks in the car for those days. I wanted something spicy, and I was freaking exhausted, and had to go back to work. So I broke down and got a Dr. Pepper, and a couple of the Roller Grill dealies at the gas station. And then last night before bed, I should have logged my calories first, but decided not to and went for the ice cream.
Today's a new day though. I get to try again. This evening it sounds like I will take the kiddos trick or treating, so at least I'll get some walking in, and then my husband and I may or may not got to a friends' Halloween Party. An adult party would be a nice thing for us to do for once, but he and I both have had a pretty exhausting week. So it might end up we'll send the kids to bed, and settle in to watch a scary movie instead. I'm game for anything. I think I actually almost prefer the second option, because then at least I know I won't have tempting goodies around to eat, and I won't consume fattening alcoholic beverages. We'll see though.
We got all of our dear meat processed. All we have left is the ten pounds or so we have curing to make jerky on Saturday. I'm so tired of looking at deer meat, I'm not sure if I'll even be able to cook it to eat. What a smelly process! But we're done, and we're stocked up on good lean meat for the winter.
