November Randomness

It has been quite a bit since I’ve done a post here due to so much of my life being like a disaster of stress ball of tangled yarn. I decided to do just a random like blog since I wouldn’t even know how to break it all down into separate blog posts. They’d end up with some short and some long so was better to do just like a summarized post of everything. The question always is though, where to start in the chaos.

I suppose we’ll start with the onslaught of apartment related stuff I had to deal with. My manager here hadn’t done an inspection in like 2-3 years then suddenly this year while I dealing with so much he decides he wants to do them again. Luckily I got the assistant manager to do the inspection itself so I think she was more chill about the whole thing. I became more concerned about her little puppy in carrier and where my cat was than to be freaked out during the inspection. I passed the inspection so sigh of relief there. I also got my annual recertification done with minimal panic attacks as they didn’t require my bank statements this year. Although I wish they’d tell me that they don’t need to anymore since it cost me $5 a month to get the paper statements. Highway robbery banks are I tell you.

I lost my home aide agency due to my stupid borderline personality disorder and it’s spikes of anger. The last year of having these temper issues is really annoying me. I’ve asked my therapist to please find ways to help me that my stubborn mind will follow. Anyway, I have no help from a home aide til a new agency gets assigned to me which I don’t know when that’ll be. They constantly telling me how there is a shortage of home aides but there are alot of housecleaning service people out there. So why can’t they work as a home aide? There isn’t a complete difference since many times a home aide isn’t adept to doing the lifting and such to be hands on caregivers. I mean my last one said she had to have back surgery so definitely certain they not equipped for such things. When I simply sweep my floors I feel like I going to collapse as my heart is pounding, my feet kill me more, my legs are ready to buckle, and my asthma acts up alot. People come into my home and see me walking without my walker then probably think “oh she fine” except they dead wrong. The old saying of: Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Basically don’t judge me by what you see and by my moody moments.

I been dealing with losing my best friend for good. I couldn’t deal with the bull of being harassed by someone simply ’cause he friends with her and she hates me. The fact that I had to put my foot down with her and also with him after another incident when I was already dealing with way too much. I despise silent treatment and lame excuses too. A best friend should be messaging you back when you need them or even in general. Hopefully he is doing good in his job, is healthy, and happy. That’s all I going to say about that as all of it was/is very depressing feeling for me.

Lastly was dealing with losing food stamps for first half of this month due to government stuff in this country. I had to figure how to stay on diet while budgeting like crazy. It left me to having to buy canned zero sodium veggies which I swore I’d never buy canned ones. Veggies are so difficult to get nowadays in frozen in store brand so canned is probably better. I don’t put anything on them so they so blah and weird tasting especially the carrots. I glad that got food stamps back but that put so much fear in me about if that dude in office enjoyed the power of it too much. I’m so sick of being kept awake at night worrying about my life. How quickly everything can be taken from me by this government. I expect the government to protect me and others like me but now it’s a scary one to me.

Well that is all for this blog. I appreciate you all for reading this random post that is like all over the place.

Dieting Life

I started a diet recently ’cause I wanted to better my health especially to lessen weight strain on my feet and legs that makes it harder to walk with my neuropathy. I have decided to do the Mediterranean Diet since it seemed more healthy compared to others. I also felt it would be good to try since I read that John Goodman lost alot of weight being on it. I just need to incorporate exercises that I can actually do. It has been rough at times staying on the path of my diet since I have emotional eating problem. Craving foods I definitely shouldn’t have is a struggle. Living with persistent depression causes so many issues in my life from messed up sleep routines to fighting with emotional eating to lack of motivation to do daily things. I just feel so determined to stick to this diet for once no matter how hard things are in my life.

Everyday I follow the diet guidelines especially the foods allowed and not allowed to eat. My dinners used to be processed pasta mixes, parmesan couscous, or frozen meals. Now I eat chicken, whole wheat pasta, rice blend, steamed veggies, and potatoes. I trying to figure out other things to eat for dinners but gotta say that prices on healthy food and having to use Instacart makes it so difficult. I try to stay on the road of eating lunches now each day. The lunches usually consist of whole grain bread slices, cucumber slices, salad, cole slaw, and sometimes tuna fish. I don’t eat alot with the meal but I try to make it different as often as I can so I won’t get bored on the diet. I tend to skip breakfast due to me being asleep. Whenever I snacked before the diet, I would eat pint of ice cream, cookies, tapioca pudding, or ice cream pops. Basically loads of sugar and fat. Now I make snacks of fruits, a variety of small amounts in nuts, whole grain rice chips, outshine fruit ice bars, and Breyers carb smart ice cream. If I said I not already cheated on my diet then I’d be lying. In fact I was so worn out yesterday that I just up and ordered Subway to be delivered but I skipped the yummy cookies they have.

I can safely say that it’s going good so far though the scale isn’t showing a big change yet. I nearly cried when I got weighed at my neurologist yesterday. It’ll be ok though as time passes. I’ll keep you all updated on the progress. Of course I don’t think I would stay so on track if I didn’t have my best guy friend who lives in Canada constantly encouraging me. Though I know realistically I can’t depend on another person to motivate me to remain dieting but I have to do it myself.
