Lounge around the house

Thursday was a        day
I didn't have anything planned for Thursday, so I just sat around the house with Monster. It wasn't a particularly bad day, but I still had some anxiety episodes. Husband was at a conference and could not be disturbed, and knowing that may have triggered the episodes.

I joined the social networking site Mom Bloggers Club (you can find me with the username somberangel). There are many mini-groups to subscribe to so that you can connect with others in your area or just with the same interests. I joined a few including Twitter moms, Plurk moms, crafty moms and Midwest moms. This will keep me busy for quite a while, trying to go through and choose which moms I would like to befriend on my other sites, or just start follow their blogs.

I didn't get many steps in for my daily goal, again probably only 100 or so. I keep meaning to go to the “Y”, but scheduling with naps and needing to be home for Daughter at 3:00 makes it tough. I could go first thing in the morning, but I usually don't feel up to it at that time. I prefer a 4-6:00 exercise, but that is right when Husband gets home and we start dinner. After dinner, I don't like to exercise because it gets those endorphines going and I have a hard time settling down and getting to sleep at a reasonable hour, and I just plain don't want to be out that late at night.

I am trying to come up with a more detailed rating system to describe my day.  I will include the highest and lowest levels of anxiety and depression, eating, shopping and other impulses, and then my overall activity level and amount of time spent under my SAD light.
