ALL'S CALM ON THE FRONT

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, I was checking my luggage and figuring things out.  Almost time to go.

One of the things I need to pack is a journal.  Found this one at the Dollar store.
Thought it was a good one for what I'm doing.


Noticed the last few days that I am calmer.  I'm not talking endlessly about what I am doing, whether it's the right thing etc.  Which from past experience for me it means I have accepted and made a decision.  With everything I've done to get ready, I am sure of my decision.  I have noticed too, that those foods I will mainly let go of, I have started letting go of already.  Like Wood Pie, the meal was good, and we brought half home for Saturday, but it wasn't something I was interested in anymore.  I was at Goodness Me, as I walked in I thought of the Smores cookies, and it was no, they are gone.  DQ, as I was eating it, this doesn't taste that good.  My body is SOOO ready for change.  I didn't write yesterday (as you might have noticed) because of that DQ.  I was very ill Friday night.  My stomach worked overtime at getting that dairy and sugar thru my system - painfully.  At 230am that night, my loving, supportive hubby woke and asked me if I was in pain.  Then asked again as I didn't answer.  This time my answer was, I'm killing myself.  AJ responded, oh sweetie, what can I do to help you?  I said I'm killing myself with the foods.  Him - That's why you are going to RH to detox...."  I thought - this is it.  I've hit my bottom.  I know I can not have these foods. During the weekend I needed to recover from my unhealthy food binge. Good bye, I pray!

I rechecked my luggage.  Talia said that they had Advil there, so I removed my bottle.  Don't think I have anything I can't have.

Everything inside and outside is completed as far as I know.  I've packed up outside things, Jason came and cut the grass, the trees/roses are wrapped, bird feeders are full and winter covers are done.  Inside is cleaned and organized to make it easier for hubby.  Jax's walker is prepared and I've discussed that I will be gone for a while with Jax, and the cats.  I've also talked with the neighbours.... I think AJ will be better cared for then when he is living with me!

As I will be gone - hopefully - for 21 days, this blog will be very quiet.  Ha ha ha.  I hope to post soon after I get back, but I suspect I will need a few days, so start looking on November 29/30th if you are interested.  Til then, I'm wishing everyone well, good health and joyful journeys.
