it's been a very stressful week for me. vito's many attempts at wall art, his asthma, his vomiting, and now his bloody accident all combined to make this week very challenging. hosting a get together last friday when i had no help didn't make things easier either. and neither did having to paint the living room all by myself. i'm physically and emotionally tired.
i wish i could escape for a few hours and have coffee with any one of my friends. there are some people i miss the most in times like these. i miss marilu, who will always get me out of self-pity and give me renewed energy for what i need to do and will probably even volunteer for it. i miss mimi, who will never fail to make me laugh and who knows how to relate to my moods. i miss chelo, who brings sunshine wherever she goes and knows how to lift anyone's spirits. and i miss my sister, who knows what i think before i even say it.
so i console myself with food. yes, food. i haven't been gorging or overeating. but i have been stealing some of vito's brownies and biscuits. i wasn't prepared for this week, i didn't buy snacks for myself. so whenever i get really tired, i just open the fridge and dig into whatever i find. chocolates and brownies are within easy reach and give me temporary joy. hey, sometimes a girl's just gotta have some chocolates to deal with a bad day.
not so good

i understand.. chocolate is my comfort food, too. once everything is okay, i am sure you will start getting rid of the food that is not on the list.
tc.
sending you love all the way from england...
if i was there, we'll have coffee and cake and we'll dance away our calories to "dancing queen"...
dont you give up now, you've gone a long way...*tight hugs to you*
thanks mai. i'm hoping this week will be better. at least i ate only 1 square inch of brownie, so i didn't feel too guilty about it. and the chocolate i ate was dark semisweet chocolate.
thanks chelo! how i wish we lived in the same city!
