My week from HELL-OH! (long)

Hi everyone, I am just gonna vent a little bit, but let me preface by saying that this last week's events did not drive me to the "usual" emotional eating.   Now let me begin my saga, (I laugh to keep from crying).  First of all this started on Friday, my dh and I were mowing the yard and our push mower wouldn't start, so all the trim had to be done with a weedeater.  Then as you already  know my furbaby passed away on Saturday.  Sunday night, the window air conditioner in my bedroom hit the bricks, which was not so bad cause we still had the large one for the rest of the house so we just left the door opened.  So now this week has got to get better , right......  WRONG.  Monday morning I got woken up to a terrible noise  the big air conditioner was dying as well.  Lucky me, it is 100 degrees   in my house and me, the dog and all the cats look like we have melted and are all so lethargic we can't move.  I start collecting all the fans from friends and neighbors to at least move the hot air around.  Now, as usual, this is the middle of the month and there are always too much month for the rest of the money.  So I am feeling sorry for myself and thinking I have to wait 2 more weeks before I can get an airconditioner and then some of my bills will have to wait cause I don't have extra   .  Well, bless my mom's heart, she ain't gonna let her baby   (cause we know that would be a big sticky mess to clean up) so she bought me a new air conditoner for my bedroom and will let me borrow money on Friday to get a large one for the rest of the house.    So now me and the fur babies are like   , and let me tell you this little air conditioner is doing a pretty good job of cooling the whole house.     Now I am doing the happy dance all over the house   and not looking like a SF popsicle melting on a hot July afternoon.    Now, I feel better, after writing this and finding all the smileys to help tell my story.  But the best part again, is I did not turn to food to soothe my emotions.    Yea ME!    So everyone have a great day and my world will continue to improve.      Darlene

Hi Darlene. Good grief, you did have one of those weeks didn't you? I am so proud of you for not looking to food.  That was a major moment for you (or at least it would have been for me). I am glad it looks like it is finally turning around for you. Keep your head up, This to shall pass.  HUGS!

Misty, It was definitely a major moment, cause I would have ate myself into a stupor at one time. Darlene
