Too much too little

This is ideal really. Even for a girl. Procreate A LOT then sleep it off.


I don't know about anyone else, besides Gill, who's not having fun these days.

Personally I'm eating too many calories, spending too much, online too often and stressing too much. Oh and apparently burning TOO MANY calories. Go figure.

On the other hand I don't have enough money, nor enough time or patience to study all day every day, my internet connect it too slow and no one knows how to fix it. As I sit here the wireless router is directly beside my computer and yet it struggles.

I'm too fat, too tired, too frustrated and too undisciplined.

My relationship with God is on the fritz too. I just have NO interest in fostering anything with Him at the moment. I feel exhausted from striving and have been let down too many times to care much. I recognize that I can't see the 'big picture' but that pisses me off further. Just show me the damn picture and then I'll have something to work towards! As it stands I don't know which prayer, which time of fasting, if I ask Him this way or that way, the next time of ministry or if I worship Him in this 'new' way will get me what I'm getting after.

And this new calorie counting bull-shit I'm doing...it's been ONE day and I'm SO ANGRY. I only have 200 calories left to consume for the rest of the day. I don't understand how that's possible. It's even MORE frustrating since I'm stuck eating high-calorie things like coconut flour and agave nectar on my Elimination diet instead of regular flour and sugar.

Life is just complicated beyond any grasp of sanity these days.

Studying is REALLY upsetting because the deeper I get back into it the more I realize how screwed I am. I need to LEARN most of this stuff again. So, I opted to blog. Took some pictures of a Gerbera daisy....the ushe.

I'm doing a little work at SLP in Waterdown. That's ok just frustrating because I am the kind of person who forgets things often because I'm multi-tasking so much. Which means many many trips to Ikea for items I've forgotten.
Or even the grocery store.
For example--I went to the grocery store 2 days ago--and last night I asked Ken to buy me some coconut milk. 'No no that's all I need. Coconut milk.'
By 11am this morning I have a substantial grocery list on my fridge again. How do I do it?

I was cruising along there for quite a while---and suddenly I've collided with an impenetrable wall made of calories, books I've never finished and Visa bills. I keep trying to work through it but like a good knot; the more you tamper with it the more complicated it gets.

Enough analogies? Friggin tell me about it! I'm sick of hearing myself think.

Here's a funny picture that made me laugh out loud...or lol. Oh I lol'd and I lol'd. It was hilarious. The owners referred to it as 'the lamb-dog'.

It's the look on his face. Something between shame and fear. He also looks a little annoyed. 'Yeah yeah...I'm a lamb-dog. Sheesh...laugh it up.'

Oh mercy. Then there's my birthday.
I just filled a prescription for more narcotics for my occasional Crohn's pain--I'm considering sleeping through the 29th. I just can't settle on anything to do---and the longer I waited more and more events took up all the potential birthday dates.

25. 25. A quarter of a century.

Here are the animals that live for 25 odd years:
-some dogs...(huh....I didn't know that.)
-cows
-tigers
-cats
-pigs of the wild variety
-bulls
-rattlesnakes
-pigeons (aka gray doves)

25 is the age by which my surgeons highly recommended I should have had ALL the babies I wanted to have. "Ok, ok. Let's compromise and I won't have ANY children by 25, but I'll start AFTER I'm 25. Fair?"

In dream language 25 represents 'the forgiveness of sins'. I hope that includes self-pity and indifference.

the night before my 25th birthday, we curled up on my bed with candles lit and drank beer and read poems. and lamented the loss of my youth. melodramatic and unneccessary... but still...
what does the elimination diet include? those are intense and all-consuming -- but that's so great that you're doing it!

i miss you lots. hopefully we can do something together soon - something real 'grown up' that 25 year olds do -- that doesn't involve adding to visa bills or calorie counts...

we'll figure something out. i really want to hang out soon!

since i won't see you tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
