I did it!

    So, something just happened that is pretty crucial. I did online shopping for groceries! I woke up this morning feeling horrible. I'm having a bad day as far as my health is concerned.  On days like this I usually attempt to do everything the difficult way to prove to myself that I'm capable of doing things.  I suppose you could label that with a cute little word: denial. I woke up this morning at 8:30, got out of bed and my body decided that it didn't want to work properly.  I then went back to bed after letting Massy out and slept until...get this...12:30! I dragged myself out of bed and then realized that I have to go grocery shopping. Ugh! Then, I realized that the grocery store down the road (Harris Teeter) does online shopping.  The way it works is you order online and then pick it up a few hours later at the curb side.

   It took me a while to talk myself into taking the option.  On days like this when my body isn't friends with me, it is difficult to go shopping.  I have a hard time concentrating and sometimes I have to leave before checking out if I start to feel too weak.  I owned up to it today and told myself that getting over my pride and actually taking advantage of useful option was more important than getting to the store and bottoming out.  So, I did it! I actually did something to prefer my health!  This may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but it's huge to me since I often choose self-sufficiency over what is best.  Of course I'm not going to take advantage of the program every grocery shop, but I sure am thankful that it was available for me on a day that I am unable.

There you have it.  I did it!
