I am Trying


Friday June 25, 2004


 


 

5:32 p.m.
Home from work, relaxing a bit and trying to get myself motivated to go to a party tonight that one of the girls from work is having.    I don't really know why I am  so anti social most of the time.   I think the major anxiety about going tonight is the flack I will get from everybody when I want to go home.  I never stay long enough for anybody, and all I want to do is stay long enough for me.  Is that being selfish?   I don't know. 

I stopped at the thrift store on my way home from work.   I don't think I have mentioned this before but it's my new addiction.  It's not uncommon for me to go there three times a week.  I have found some amazing stuff, and so now I literally get excited about going.  To me if feels like a treasure hunt.    Today I came home with a hand made piece of pottery from Mexico priced at 50 cents and I literally freaked when I found a hard cover of Douglas Coupland's Life After God for a dollar.  I own the paperback already and have read it, but now that I own the hardcover I plan on giving the paperback to Melissa at work who I think is probably the only really literary person I work with.  It's odd because just last week when she was over she was looking at my books and I showed her specifically Life After God and told her that I thought she might enjoy it.  Now she will have her very own copy. 

I am currently 3 days joy smoke free.  3 weeks cigarette free .  My throat feels much better.  I am not having any pain when I swallow as of yesterday.  All though I have to say my throat still doesn't feel normal and hasn't for at least a month.  I have to really try to not smoke at all until I get this lump checked out as smoking is causing major throat problems.   I also have been pretty good about eating healthy and going grocery shopping every week is helping me bring something healthy to work instead of ordering out all the time.  I also have been grilling on my balcony a lot lately. 

11:05
Got home a little while ago.  I lasted a bit longer then I thought I would.  I did get some grief about leaving when I did.  Once I would like to have a day when I didn't have any guilt.  I ate too much and even though I haven't really thought about it in years it crossed my mind to purge. I won't, but it bothers me that I even considered it.
