Enough with the whining! The drama! The “woe is me!”

Here are some good things:

I have run 8 miles since Sunday morning, including 2 miles each of the last two days. I did strength training on Wednesday. I’m eating healthy foods (but maybe not enough) and drinking copious amounts of water. I’ve lost 7 pounds so far in June (stress, anyone?).

I found an apartment within walking distance of the house. It is not a scary crackhouse. My neighbors (for now) are extremely quiet. My kids are (a little too) excited about it, mostly because there is a pool and lots of steps on the sidewalk to jump on.

I managed to move in 100 degree heat, thanks to my kids’ help. My apartment is functional, if not very comfortable yet. Meaning I have food, a means to cook the food, towels, a wine opener, things like toilet paper and a hairbrush, etc. I may not have a trash can or much furniture in the living room, but I can be presentable when I get to work and I won’t starve. I have internet access and a TV so the kids won’t be too bored when they visit.

It’s time to get busy living.
