It's funny how I can get so many other things done when I should be doing something else. Last week I hit (what I felt was) the halfway mark in my semester. Everything up to that point seemed like a giant pile of stuff I had to do through. Now I feel like a new thing comes on my plate every day and I can deal with it right away. This whole 'putting myself first' business has really helped with feeling productive and healthy.
I feel like I've re-programmed my habits a little bit, especially when thinking about eating out, buying unecessary food (who needs a Twix every day?), so it makes me feel more responsible about my health and my money. Being seriously broke for one month really put things into perspective. I haven't been freezing meals in advance as much anymore, but I do try to use what I have instead of buying one-off things. Although.. Coaticook Maple Sugar ice cream is to die for.
Things are great with P. We're nicely balanced these days. I'm go with the flow, but asserting myself more. Being busy with all kinds of projects I care about is also very rewarding.
I'm a little worried that too few women are putting themselves first. Not like half-first, I mean First-first! Being satisfied with what we do is so tightly linked with every other facet of life.. I'm amazed.
I really, really, really, really want to go to New York and eat it all up!
