Holiday Shopping!

No Matter How 

Tough the Journey,

Recovery is Worth the Wait.

My new job had me working 24 hours for the first time ever !

Holiday Bagels!

& I went on a proper shopping trip this afternoon with momma ..some people following watching was involved..

From AE:

also in charcoal

only $30 !

Then to Bath&Body works...got like 20 hand sanitizers 

& some lotion..for my friends of course (:

On the way home, my mom & I tried a Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar...I've tried to make them in the past, but this was my first real version and I thought it was dry and too peanut-y :\ guess it'll go in my oatmeal haha

For dinner I made Trader Joe's Tempeh, sugar snap peas, 

and rice w/ chili sauce & Kikkoman teriyaki marinade...

Finished the night watching Cowboys & Aliens

-but didn't finish because we were all so tired!

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sorry for the wait~ life goes by so fast! & I unconsciously forget to document it :(
Would you like me to recap the past months?

June- naught

July- People to People European adventure!

I didn't want it to end!

Toured through Italy, France, & England.. used all the French I have learned, stayed with a blind girl in a small city, saw many things for probably the only time, mais pas de romance. haha

August- I didn't expect my ED to follow me to Europe, but it did, to my dismay.. I thought that I was being rational avoiding all animal products-and so my absurdity led to an entire month in an intensive outpatient for EDNOS :(

 I was in denial for almost the entire program, but I wanted to get back to normalcy because I was missing out on field hockey and wanted family support. 

September- Did not get exercise privileges back, though was never that type before all of this.

October- I forget, but it probably involved lots of arguing about halloween candy towards the end.

November- We moved into mom's boyfriend's house on a cattle farm...whoo-hoo...How ironic? Ended with a stomach virus 

...why has my attitude suddenly turned so pessimistic???

December- I started work at a grocery store! Enjoying the atmosphere here- everyone's in a good mood because of the unusually nice weather we've been experiencing (besides today, it was raining.. haha) Also, not feeling any anxiety about the people I will be interacting with, yay!
