Rough Morning

I did laundry this morning, two loads including sheets. It's time to put the winter sheets on the bed.
I will only say I got into an argument with my grandson. The details aren't necessary. Though it took a couple hours for me to stop crying, and right now I want to binge eat. I've never binge eaten when things got bad, I would get in my car and drive, find a place near water and just calm down. I don't want to do that. I probably should. Instead, I want to binge eat. The problem with that idea is that it's the end of the month, I don't get paid until the third and I'm on end of month rations. So binge eating is a bad idea. Besides, I would want to binge on everything I'm not supposed to eat. I even thought about going out to a fast food place. My brain told me I would get in the car but I wouldn't go to a fast food place. My brain is right. I wouldn't. I haven't had fast food in at least a year and a half, I'm not going to start now.
So, the only thing left for me to do is write. Some of my best writing takes place when I'm upset. I will say I took out the pound of hamburger and made some guacamole, mixed it together and the results are awesome.
So, I'm going to write. I was here for a little while when I was doing laundry. I had my Chromebook with me. I'm going to put everything on hold and write. I'm sorry to leave you, but I don't want to make bad comments either, which in my frame of mind, could happen.
Thanks for listening and reading. I'll work it all out and who knows, maybe I'll get 5000 words written today. I haven't done that yet this month, but there's a first for everything.
I will return, though I don't know if it will be today or tomorrow. Thanks for your thoughts as I work through this situation.
I hope you all are having a much better day.

Binge eating never solves anything except make things worse in the long run. Hope your writing is therapeutic and the problem with your grandson gets resolved.

The good thing is I don't have the food to binge eat. Writing didn't work either. It will get resolved next week when I see him again. I'm doing much better. The snow helped lift my mood.

I'm a binge eater when I stressed. Hope that everything solves itself.

Thank you. It will. I usually don't binge eat when I'm stressed, but I wanted to.

Praying it all sorts through with your grandson. I shouted at the other grandma for my grandson yesterday. I guess we both know what our real answer is, but I still think I had righteous anger. Ah well at least we can pray and write it all out of our system. Suffice it to say, I ate cake yesterday...

@just4him - Writing is a healthy way to deal with stress, and we all have stress from time to time. I'm glad you have some healthy outlets. I understand about binge eating. Once, when one of our daughters was in a terrible car accident, I ate an entire pound of chocolate while I waited to hear how she was doing. I just couldn't stop myself.

I am glad you made good choices. I have been doing well on my diet which is 3 days on and 4 days off..but with all this cat stress..I have been thinking..I might just put it on hiatus for awhile. As long as I don't stuff myself..I should be OK for a while. I just don't want to gain anything back I have lost. The days on, are tough..plus I have to keep buying tuna and green beans. My stomach has shrunk for sure, which should help me out.

Good you were short of funds to stay away from binge eating Writing is indeed the best option to clear one's mind of sad thoughts.

Hope you are quick to make thing right with your grand son. There is nothing here on earth worth letting anger arise and take control. Examine yourself to see where and why you let things get out of hand when Christ;s nature should have shone forth in you and put the rising anger under your feet so there could not have been a foothold for satan to take advantage of.
