I’m soooo glad…it’s Thursday night and I don’t have to work tomorrow! I’m looking forward to a stress-free, relaxing weekend. I don’t even care if it rains, which is what is predicted.
Does anyone else enjoy watching Hell’s Kitchen? I just love this show. Chef Ramsay was really on a tear tonight. I felt sorry for the young man “J” that went home early in the episode, he seemed like a really nice kid who just got a bit overwhelmed by the stress of the situation. Early on in this season, I told hubby that if I knew I was going on this show (not that I ever would…I can’t cook at all), I’d spend the month before just learning how to cook beef Wellington and risotto…If you’ve EVER watched this show, you know that these two dishes are ALWAYS in Chef R's repertoire. Just knowing how to cook these 2 dishes would get you at least halfway through the season and would keep you from getting yelled at much of the time. Another thing that’s weird…all these aspiring chefs smoke! WTF? I would think that would affect your sense of taste, so how can you be a good chef and smoke?
My food has been a bit haphazard the last few days, and I have just not been motivated to work out either. For some reason, I've been tired...I'm not even sure if it's physical or mental fatigue. At lunch, I've just been going out to my car and taking a 45 minute nap. I keep telling myself to get in gear. Again, the focus now is supposed to just be healthy body/healthy mind but I’m certainly not marching along on the “healthy body” trail so far. Not that I’m doing anything too unhealthy, just nothing very proactive. Somehow tomorrow, I need to get in a good hour of exercise and tighten up on the food.
I wanted to give a short update on my therapy. However, it’s late so I will wait until I can more fully describe the direction that Dr. D and I are taking. I think you might find it interesting. I’ll try to get to it this weekend.
In the meantime, I hope everyone is having a good evening. Good night!
Have a great day off! Now that Spring is here, maybe the new season will give you a boost!
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you so much for commenting on my post to day, the one about my marriage. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sory I never responded to your email. Unfortuantely, I did a blanket sweep of my emails and deleted everything. There's a reason, which I can't really tell you why here.
I've been tired too! I thinks it's this stinkin' Pacific Northwest weather. I'm so ready for spring! I've even started taking caffeine pills halfway through the day so I can stay awake. I'm not big on coffee, so these really help. Learn this trick from one of my coworkers, another developer.
I can't wait to hear how your therapy is going. I go for my 2nd session next week and also a marriage counseling session. Should be a tough week, but I doubt it'll beat this week. :)
Thanks again! Oh - and I'm adding your blog to my blog list. I don't know how I missed adding you.
I've watched "Hell's Kitchen" a few times. I don't like to see people get yelled at, so it's not a frequently watched show for me. By now, you'd think that these young chefs would know what was up before they got there- and that they would work on their beef Wellington and risotto. *laughs* I think you are exactly right.

Perhaps you have the post holiday blues!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, therapy & bringing up old issues can be both mentally and physically exhausting. I am not surprised that you are tired.
Practice good self care when you can - go for a short walk, have a bath, treat yourself to a new book....
I look forward to hearing about it, when you are ready. Therapy is always interesting when you reflect on it. I am working on what sex means to me thing week. I have like ten pages of thoughts already. It is an interesting thing to work on with the shrink because we dove right into it head on- when I asked to.
ReplyDeleteSorry. I fell behind this weekend on reading bloggage. Catching up!
