I woke up feeling sad. It started creeping over me yesterday and seems to have found a firm hold today.
Of course, I try to analyze the "why" and I can think of a few easons. They aren't that big a deal, but they affect me.
1. It's really been bothering me that I can't wear sandals anymore. I know that's a small thing in the way of the world, but it brings up a little grief about the whole toe thing again.
2. I'm going to a Relay For Life thing tonight. I've been thinking about my brother a lot and missing him.
3. I'm kinda lonely.
I need to snap out of my sad mood. It's not good on me emotionally or physically. I'll go after groceries this afternoon. I'm not sure that spending money will be a mood breaker, but it will get me out of the house. Maybe if I can work it in, I'll spend some time at the lake later.
Care to share what your mood is today?

Yup, you go on out to the lake and reflect.For my mood, well, working alot, got to go in at 2 today. I'm washing windows for a customer tomorrow.... on and on.

A bad storm was here all day yesterday so everything is clean and fresh today with the sun shining bright. I'm still in my pjs, need to get and go but....nope.Take care of yourself! Go play today by the lakeside. OK ~see ya -

Same here, CW. Maybe it's partly because of the nasty weather that's been battering my area in the past days, partly due to work deadlines, and yes, much as I hate to admit it, a gnawing sense of loneliness.
So this morning I said, "to hell with deadlines," went out to buy some stuff, struggled with my umbrella under the rain, slept the whole afternoon away, called the kids, blog here a bit, and now I feel much better even as I struggle with my deadlines. The mood comes and goes.
I hope the lake puts you in a better mood, my friend.

queen,
I've heard of that movie, but haven't seen it. Maybe you'll pick up some new moves.
MMI,
You sound very happy. What did you plant? The lake usually does help. A walk will do me some good, I'm sure.
moon,
You sound very busy. Life can move so fast sometimes that it's hard to enjoy it. I think purposely slowing down for a time such as you did is a good thing.
I think I'm struggling a bit to find my way. I'll manage though. I'm looking forward to a little time at the lake. I hope it helps my mood too.

awe, can I go to the lake with you? Must be in the air. Not great mood, but not really down either.. just "on the fence". Also gloomy rainy dark here today. I do know what you mean by your toe, as I go through the same thing about my leg.. just a rotten reminder. I hope you can fit the lake in! You are strong, there is no doubt you will be back to yourself -
CreativeWoman said on May 03, 2008....
quietone,
We could have a party at the lake. :-) They have some nice shelter areas there. The sun is out here but it is barely 40F. I'm so tired of being cold.
Sorry you have a rotten reminder too.

Yes, I broke my leg at work 2 years ago and when the Dr. did the surgery he cut my lymphnodes and now I have to wear those gawd awful stockings on that leg becasue of the swelling. sucks in the summer.. no shorts. :( It is a bit warmer than that here about 50 I think. Yes a nice party at the lake... laid back and just jellin' -
CreativeWoman said on May 03, 2008....
quietone,
I'm sorry to hear that about your leg. Are those stockings hot in the summer? I can imagine that they might be. My feet burn up with just regular socks. That's partly why I'm going to miss my sandals. :-(
Let's pack a picnic and be gone for the day.

I'm feeling a little sad CW. It's been a really good day with all of us out having fun (DH, the girls & I) but now I am sat here wondering why we couldn't have had days like these when we were still living together.
I hope you are feeling happier yourself now.

destinydiva said on May 03, 2008....
aaaww cw, its soooo okay for you to be upset about not wearing sandals, dont feel bad about that, it is totally understandable (((((((((((hugs))))))) I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better about that, but I dont...except that its ok to feel that way...

CreativeWoman said on May 03, 2008....
Alyss,
I can see where that might make you sad. It doesn't seem fair sometimes.
My mood hasn't changed much. If anything I've gotten a little sadder. Oh, well...
((((hugs))))
destiny,
Thank you. Part of me feels really silly that I'm this way. I know it could have been worse and yet I get a downtrodden about it.
((((hugs))))

Hope you're doing better now, CDub. {{{hug}}} I relate to feeling lonely. I feel that way a lot. Hang in there, kiddo.
I'm okay. I still am thinking about my diabetes alot and trying to get more comfortable with testing my blood sugar and figuring out what I should and shouldn't eat. Just plugging away at it, I guess.

petitepapillon said on May 04, 2008....
I'm hoping you're feeling better, CW.My current mood is actually, for lack of a better word, nice. I'm just feeling nice/good, having had a good day with The Boyfriend for his b-day. Still feeling frustrated and depressed about my life and where it's going, but today was still a good day. -
sukku said on May 04, 2008....
My mood is fine and it's not much different from yours. I am alone on a job assignment and being alone in alien country I guess would not be anyones cup of tea. But I do keep myself occupied with my blogs and also a pretty good book that I am reading now by Jeffrey Archer titled "A prisoner of birth". If you have the time do drop in to check out my blogs at http://blogger-sukku.blogspot.com/.

Sometimes, you need to let yourself wallow, just a little. I often say to myself, right, I'm going to wallow in self-pity for a day or two, max, and then I'm snapping myself out of it. It works for me. Go easy on yourself, CW....you take care now -

Overwhelmed, but happy.
Same mood I've had for the last two years.

Mimi,
My mood is still flat, but I'll live.
Did they give you a carb range to shoot for per meal? They told me to plan for no more than 60 carbs per meal. Mine is based on three meals a day. I don't do snacks unless I subtract them from the 60 at my meal. You'll find that your body will like certain things its not supposed to have and then not like other you are supposed to be able to have. We all are different. An example for me are the sugar free products...jello in particular...I get a high reading every time I try it. The health journal I keep helps me to track those sort of things. I wish you well. Let me know if I can help in any way.
petite,
I'm glad you felt nice and had a good day with your boyfriend. It's great to have those kind of days.
sukku,
It must be lonely in your situation. I will check out your other blogs. Thanks for stopping at my blog.
Fire Flower,
I do need to pick myself up and dust myself off. The sadness swallows me sometimes.

dyingman,
That's quite an emotional combination. At least you have the happiness for balance.

quietone said on May 04, 2008....
CW ~ that is quite interesting that you got the info about what to eat from your doctor. I didn't. I got a 15 min. lecture so to speak on the food groups (pyramid) that I learned about years ago in school and that was it. sometimes when I eat real sugar things I get lower readings then normal.. I wonder why that is? I am not good at keeping track of anything, including what I eat. I do stay away from real sugar and try not to eat anthing with more than 5g of sugar in it.
I know this has nothing to do with your mood or mine!! or maybe it does! oh, yes, the stocking.. no it doesn't bother me much any more. I forget I have it on most times except when I want to wear capris. I have to make sure I wear 2 stockings or look really dumb.

CreativeWoman said on May 04, 2008....
quietone,
My doctor told me that there are some studies coming out now that say our bodies don't metabolize the sugar alcohols in sugar free products as well as they do real sugar. I have been told that a carb is a carb. It doesn't matter if it is sugar free or real. I count the 60 carbs per meal and I eat things with real sugar as long as I balance some fiber into the meal. I don't waste my carbs on the sugar free stuff. There is a difference between sugar free and no sugar added. I will use the no sugar added things, but never the sugar free. I avoid anything with sugar alcohols in the ingredients. Maybe i should do a post on that?
Diabetes has everything to do with mood. You know?

quietone,
I do have diet pop and things like that because they use sweetners that don't contain the sugar alcohols. I really watch the labels because my body seems to be really sensitive to them.
They did some sort of calculation to come up with the 60 grams of carbs for me, but I'm not sure how they did it. I was a little overwhelmed when I was captive in the hopital for my little session.
