monday blues

woke up this morning feeling rather blue. i think my mind and body are finally saying "enough!" i've been exhausting myself and i'm so tired. i've also put on some weight and have been feeling rather depressed about that as well. weight has never been a big issue for me, but when i put on my "nice" jeans on saturday i got a painful stomach ache from the too tightness of them. at dinner i had to not only unbutton the waist, i had to unzip them too! i was mortified.

so today, i have decided to sign up at the gym/swimming pool down the street from work and do something about it instead of whine. i'm hoping that a little daily work-out will help with my bummed out frame of mind as well.

the weekend was again full to the max. all good things, just tiring. highlights included a lovely hangout with vic in my hood, taking the kids from the shelter apple picking and hiking on a beautiful saturday afternoon, going out for michelle's israeli cousin's birthday (dinner at my favorite restaurant and hilarious dancing at the bulgarian club), and seeing danny's play "but i'm a cheerleader: the musical" yesterday (AMAZING!). i love how my two favorite people involved in theater (amy and danny) directed plays about cheerleaders. something about those big end of the play cheer numbers made me ridiculously happy both times.

kinda funny this morning when i walked into G.A.S... apparently i wasn't too good at hiding my sadness and dear olia picked up on it right away. dawn was also feeling blue and we all had a big heart to heart group therapy session. so great! i'm already feeling better. i'm so blessed that i have these ladies in my life. if i was still stuck at home, i'd be festering this feeling of poopiness and would probably be listening to depressing music, staring at the ceiling. i'm a lucky girl.

ok, now back to creating my day...
