Day ? 225.4

Sigh. I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks 3 days. It's been a really stressful couple of weeks.

High point- Celebrated our 12 year anniversary! I love my husband to bits.

Low, really low point. My husband and I rarely drink. (maybe once or twice a year)
My husband's brother is an alcoholic. He attends AA meetings, but is still struggling with drinking and still does quite frequently.
On Memorial Day he drank and drove and hit 2 other cars. 3 people were injured. 2 people died, 1 is in critical condition.
He's being held in jail without bond right now and probably will be for a long, long time. The past 7 days has been surreal and devastating.

Also, 2 weeks ago I started seeing a Psychologist (before the accident happened, TG I have someone I can talk to) and also a Psychiatrist (for the meds part)
This is the first time I've ever attended counselling, so it's a little unnerving. Not sure if I like it just yet. I've had 2 sessions with the psychologist, and 1 with the psychiatrist. The psychologist is also setting me up with a nutrition counsellor. Don't know when I start that, but that should be interesting.

Another high point- My 16yo passed her road test and got her driver's license a week ago. That was a great day, and a big accomplishment. It also has me a little edgy/nervous this past week. I feel worried every time she leaves alone in the car, yet proud of her at the same time.

Low point- overpaid bills and money spent on some frivoulous things and end up in the negative in the bank. This rarely ever happens. Ended up only being about $80 in actual funds in the negative, but it was a bunch of small stuff, and got hit with $180 in multiple overdraft fees of $30 each. So, now we're $260 in the negative. Fraek out. My husband is going to call the bank this morning to see if they will reverse some of the charges. Stress running high from that.

High point- Watching our beloved Red Wings win the first 2 home games of the Stanley Cup finals! Go Wings!

No time to check spelling errors.
Going to go to the gym today.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
