Daily affirmation 16 August 2014
Aug. 16th, 2014 11:28 pmToday's been good. The first really GOOD day I've had in a while.
I walked up to Trader Joe's to get some bits and bobs for tonight's dinner—roasted veggie pizza. The last time I went to TJs I got some sliced crimini mushrooms and some frozen artichoke hearts, and then when I got home I tried to think of what to do with them.
I roasted some tomatoes, a red onion, a bunch of garlic and then artichokes and mushrooms, and put them on some TJs pizza shells (they sell these frozen and ready-to-use) with some leftover pesto and shredded fresh mozzarella. Let me tell you, that was a SERIOUSLY delicious dinner. And there are plenty of veggies left over for at least two more pizzas, probably more.
I think the depression is mostly past me now. I kind of have a hollow feeling, like something's missing, and that feeling usually accompanies the passing of depression. Assuming this is really the end of this depressive cycle I'll find balance in the next day or two. Of course, I'll need to stay vigilant during this time to make sure I don't fall back into depression, which can happen all too easily.
Tomorrow, Travis has the day off. We're planning on doing NOTHING all day because next week will be very busy for him. Not only is he now the assistant manager but his store is currently being remodeled, and this coming week they'll be working on his sections. The store manager has told him he'll be able to get overtime this week so he's determined to take it easy tomorrow as he's not even sure he'll be able to take his other day off…erm…off. And they *STILL* haven't told him how much of a raise he's getting. The manager confirmed that yes, he's getting a raise, but he had no idea how much of one. He's supposed to be looking into it but he's working 12+ hour days and not getting his days off during the remodel and transition so it's completely understandable that he hasn't had the opportunity to find out yet. You'd think the main store would communicate this information to Travis, but no.
