Sunday 1st October

I've made it through a couple of moderate "anxiety" attacks today while studying. My friends are all in and out wanting to go watch football and drink beer! Dangit!

I've had about three liters of water and NO I'm not going to drink today. I want to be sharp tomorrow. If I pass that test though, I can make no promises, LOL. Well, even more so if I do not pass.

It's beautiful here today, I hope everyone is settling into fall with ease.

Just want to check in and say Happy Sunday--thinking of you all today---prayers to you E as you say good bye to your wonderful FIL, and to you Jen--as you struggle to distance yourself with a friendship--that is always so hard. Laura--so good to hear from you---You know I'm thinking of you! Keep healing that arm.
Miss Dixie--you will do great on that test!
I went to mass last night---yes Molly--catholic girl here too--and as I was watching all the people--I was envisioning all of you---and I was thinking that "that little cute one there would be Judie.." and that "regal lovely lady would be Mkr..." and on and on I went...each of you so beautiful, and of course, none of you with muffins---just wonderful beautiful women!! I know I should have been listening to the message--oh well!! have a great evening!! sm-mary

That is so sweet, Soccermom!

Well, my friends may know me too well! Right after my post, they showed up with a big dinner in hand to help me out. I admit, I think I either know my stuff (for the test) or not, so I'm not so stressed, and especially so after a quick shower and changing into a cute skirt and top, went outside to hit a few golf balls.

Of course, golf tempts me to have a beer in hand, so I've had two :-/

I will be happy with myself as long as I stop now. And considering I'm making a deal with myself to not have alcohol in my house, that's good for me (as soon as friends leave, so will their food and drinks!)

I'm trying to not feel guilty, b/c it honestly (the shower and two beers) totally set me "right" after stressing.

Just confessing I guess. Felt pride too early in the day I guess.
