Wk 6, Day 4 - Thurs, 9-Jan-2014

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• That the subcon place allowed me not to take anymore work for today.
• That our daughter's castle looks good.
• For soup, which is mostly what I've had today.  Easy meals.
• For finishing my subcon work before 4 pm, it's just that it was yesterday's work.
• For all the jobs my husband is finding to apply for.  Hope he lands a great job soon.

THOUGHTS:

• Today though I did not take any work for today, I still worked for 7 hrs.  It was a bit frustrating as I had to continually stop to add to my Auto Corrects, but with each document, I had fewer things to add because they were already on.  They gave me an additional 2.5 hrs beyond the 2 additional hrs I requested.  
• As my husband applies for jobs, he often asks me for help and I don't mind, unless I'm really tired and stressed, which I was, regarding upgrading to Windows 8.1 and having a whole new system.  I now have to adjust, so this took me longer than I thought it would, but it seems like everything is getting on track.
• We took our daughter to school to have her display her project for the parents.  Guess most of the kids were bringing their projects later than 5:30 pm.  They had until 7:30 pm.  Some of the projects looked like there was very little student involvement rather parent involvement.  However, the projects I liked were the ones that looked like only the kids did.
• Tomorrow is a busy day so I need to get to bed early.
• Was hoping to get a workout done, but I was physically and mentally drained with no energy.  Plus my sleep has been way off.
• Coughing has been worse today as opposed to the past 3 days.  After drinking the tea with turmeric in it, it felt better.  I really want this cough to be gone!  Gone!  Gone!

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, Multi vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, cinnamon 
• Drank some tea with ginger, lemon, green tea.  In the evening, added fresh turmeric to the tea.  Yum.
• Used vaporizer with hydrogen peroxide.
• Taking prescribed cough medication and now an antibiotic and steroid - .

LIFE TO DOs:

SLEEP:

• 11:45 pm - 6:00 am (6.25 hrs) - just really dragging.  My husband kept waking me up and I specifically asked him not to before I went to bed.  This is making me cranky because I've now had 3 nights of not enough sleep.

FOOD JOURNAL:
Breakfast  (7:00 am) - eggs scrambled with tumeric rice & brussel sprouts with a little sea salt & cheddar cheese.  That's the last of the turmeric rice.
