today has been a frustrating day! it's a hard day to NOT have a television. i wanted badly to watch football and then to watch the golden globes. i have also been craving pizza for weeks but was not in shape to go meet a friend for dinner (the prospect of having to pump gas kept me home along with severe anxiety in general.)
i am also partially regretting my decision to give up alcohol for the foreseeable future. since i couldn't get pizza i made myself cook a wonderful dinner of whole wheat pasta with asparagus, baby portabella mushrooms and red onion sauteed in olive oil and garlic served with tomato sauce and [red wine]--NO--diet root beer. it was a travesty!
since my money is a major concern and i am in earnest trying to lose weight i have given up alcohol (my normal consumption was a bottle of wine a week, basically one glass with dinner 3 or 4 nights a week.) it hasn't bothered me until tonight (not to mention that it's sunday so i couldn't even buy wine today if i wanted to!) of course i realize that even if we were able to buy wine in the grocery stores in tennessee that i would be unable to actually go in anywhere to make such a purchase. not with today's level of anxiety anyway.
all in all a less than productive day. i've not written a word. winston and i did take a long walk and i did spend a little while catching up with a friend on the phone. other than that i've been on the couch with my book and my pug.
grace and peace
