Rainy day blahs

    I have had the blahs all day and now into the night cause I haven't seen the sun for two days and I miss it. My whole body and mind are in a funk and all I want to do is sleep but with my phlegm monster still making me cough so much that isn't even happening so I've just been sitting around on the couch with the blankets wrapped around me feeling sorry for myself.   Enough already with the pity party!! The cold and bad weather will pass and the sun will come out and help make me feel better.
     I shipped off my first sale today and finished another dragon. I hoped to post a few new things to my shop today but I still need to do some work on the pictures that I have and need to take pics of the last two dragons so maybe tomorrow.
    My new friends on facebook and etsy are so encouraging, whenever I feel like giving up they help remind me that "I can do it" and it keeps me going. Take today for example I finally dragged my butt out of bed at noon and instead of doing the dishes and folding the laundry I made my way to the couch, after taking the dog out & fixing coffee, and turned on the tv. This is where I have been for the rest of the day with the exception of potty breaks and heating up leftovers for dinner. I had planned on starting a wall hanging of an eagle today but with the gray skies and my gray mood it didn't happen. Instead of feeling defeated because I didn't do what I had planned I just decided that today wasn't meant to be the start of the wall hanging for one reason or the other and just let it slide instead of get me down. So I only got a dragon finished and wasted the rest of the day reading stuff on the computer and watching tv but its okay!
    Just reread this and some of it may not make sence to anyone reading this that doesn't really know me or my history so let me explain a little. I have manic depression and in the past something as simple as not starting something on my list of things to do could send me into a tail spin and put me in bed for a week or more but with the encouragement and compliments from my family and the new family that I'm making on etsy and facebook I can just say the famous line from Gone With The Wind " Tomorrow is another day" and just go on with my day.
    Now for my healthy eatting that I'm trying to stick to. Adrian is on some new program that seems to be working so I'm going to get the info and as soon as I do give it a try. I got oranges and red grapefruit when we went shopping the other day and that's what I'm having for a snack tonight. I bought a hot air popcorn popper and need to get some popcorn so that I can have that for a snack as its better then chips or ice cream and will keep me happy as I love it. I need to get myself back into some kind of exercising regime as right now all I'm doing is small walks with the dog and it isn't enough.
     Well nothing else to say tonight so sweet dreams.
