5 Stressed Out

Day 5 found me stressed out first thing this morning.  Usually I try to wait until first break to have my diet coke with a breakfast bar.  Not today.  The top popped at 6am this morning.  Nothing I wanted to do was going to get done - I had carts full of trash and things to deal with before I could start my 'normal' work -- so there it was, my "breakfast" was too early.  Which of course left the rest of the day on the wrong foot as well.  *sigh*  It was impossible to ignore the bag of Indian Corn sitting on my desk.  But I managed to get in all my water, and eat veggies for lunch.  Not a bad day, but ... wasn't what I was aiming for.

On the ME part of today -- It was a facial treatment that made me feel good.  An apricot scrub while I was in the shower, followed by L'Oreal's Age Perfect Glow Renewal, because yeah, I need to get the glow back, even if it IS artificial!   hehehehe

The other part of my ME was shopping at JCP and getting new tennies for work and workouts.  Yes, 2 pair!  The right shoe is SO important when you spend 9 hours a day standing on concrete, and then the impact of running feet at the gym just ruins the insole support.  I usually need new shoes every six months, and I stretched this one out too far.  I can tell because I get an ache in my heel whenever there's not enough support left in my shoes.  I think I was about 2 weeks too late.  Today, I was nearly hobbling at the end of my work day.  It sure felt good to slide my feet into a new pair of New Balance tennies -- so good in fact, that I wore them home, just like I used to do when I was a kid!  hahahaha

And as luck would have it, I zoomed over to the clearance aisles for a quick look-see and found a denim shirt with sleeves (I like to wear them as jackets), a short sleeve shirt, and a 3/4 sleeve shirt - all in blue, for work,  for $20!    Nothing like a good bargain for work shirts, because I ruin them quickly.

Don't forget:  Do something for you today!
You're worth it :)
