Overview:
Not a good start to this journal, but hey. We want to make improvements and I need to start somewhere. I didn't eat very healthily today, this is probably why my sugars are high right now. On top of that, I wasn't very active, other than some running around town I did earlier. My homework load was sedentary (usually is) and that's what I had to spend today doing.
Stress loads are moderately high. I am the only one in the family right now with a working car, so I'm left to run everyone around town, and driving always makes me anxious. I also have a test tomorrow in Japanese, though I think I should be able to do alright. Especially now that my art homework is done. We are also in the process of putting our house on the market, so finding time and energy to keep the house cleaned up and in order is stressing. I also seem to be experiencing strange and unexplainable occurrences at night that have me lying awake in bed for hours. Not the typical noises a house makes, either. I suppose I will have to deal with that another time. I wonder if paranoia is a factor at all? I may have to do a test on that sometime... maybe when my levels are better.
Well, I guess this is the first day. Trial and error, this is a science.
To tomorrow!
