3/10-3/13

3/10 - This day (or mostly that night) I was thankful for my self-control with drinking. I've been having issues as I've hit my mid-twenties with not knowing my limits, getting sick and having bad hangovers, and always feeling stupid the morning after I drink, because I lose control. But I was determined on Saturday night that I would drink and have fun, but not to excess. And I did it! I made a concoction of Gatorade, Diet Mt. Dew and a little bit of Grey Goose that I drank all night, and nothing else. It was just enough to get me feeling good, and not too much to ever make me sick or feel bad the next day. Success!

3/11 - This day was a hard day for me. First I was pretty sad about my grandpa in the hospital and looking really weak, and also we got the news that Caleb's grandpa has lung cancer that is also in his lymph nodes. Also, I was feeling lonely and disconnected from my friends, and questioning how good of a friend I have been to the people I care about. I guess I was thankful this day for Tara and Caleb, who talked me out of my funk, reassured me, and made me feel less lonely.

3/12 - I was thankful on this day for a surprise call from Andrea! We always go way too long between phone conversations, so it was really great to hear from her and be available to talk when she was, instead of being in class (as this week is my Spring Break). I miss her a lot and it seriously made my night to chat with her for a while.

3/13 - "I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay." - Madonna (I don't know that this necessarily applies to me, but I've always liked this quote.)
