Boy oh boy Friday seems to be one of those days I can not get a grip on things. In my old job I had every other Friday off and it was truly a gift I have begged and begged my husband for this for ANY day of the week I would really prefer a four day work week especially with all the running I do with a teenager right now its overwhelming. Then add days that I feel like crap and there are just so many it takes allot of productivity out of me I feel that I can never get ahead and my house is never really clean. It is very frustrating. Yesterday I had day 2 of a headache was not terrible but oh my the reaction of the medications I was a space cadet all day! I really should not drive or work on these days and here is the thing I thought working for my husband I was going to have a flexible schedule and be able to maybe not work on these days after almost 40 years of dealing with this I am tired of it I am done. But nope I was mislead and sadly mistaken. So i soldier on and do the best I can. Thank God I have figured out many triggers but again its still hard to avoid sometimes.
So to my title of Hot chocolate!! I often enjoy hot chocolate after work and as a matter of fact am having one right now!! Stressed I am I need it! Most of the packaged ones have ....wait for it...MSG!! I got a new kind in at our store Nestle mint read the ingredients thought maybe I could have it but one ingredient sounded off...sodium caseinate I looked on my list and sure enough a source of MSG. SIGH! I have noticed this in many things but have ignored it i mainly look for dextrose or maltodextrose or a couple of other ones that are the main ones that they use. So I make my own hot cocoa. I melt chocolate chips in the microwave I just cover the bottom of the cup with them then add milk and a tsp of cocoa and melt fluff in it. Its very good!! Wouldn't do this every day but it seems to be my stressed out friday treat! If I wanted the mint I could add pepeppermint schnaps! One other thing that I did today is use my free theta download
from brainsync.com I have to sit in the car for a half hour while my son has guitar lessons so i used part of that time to meditate and use that brain sync. The theta waves are for relaxation and creativity.
Tomorrow is allot of running running running for Jake yet again his christmas ball and the ski area opens it should be a fun day and I will try not to get too stressed driving everywhere!! Just breathe!! It will be wonderful seeing the kids all dressed up and he is sooooo happ to use his new snow board for the first time!
