Ready to shop until I drop!

Lol! We’re off into killarney town centre to shop until we drop!
I am excited to look around and maybe buy some new clothes. I normally dont enjoy clothes shopping, but since I started losing weight it has become more enjoyable. Now that I can get nice clothes to fit me, I love shopping.
We’ll spend the day intown. Mom is going to partner up with me, and my sister is going to take lauren and davin, I’m sure mom and me will stop off for coffee along the way, mom cant walk too far before she needs to rest, because of her COPD.
I hope I can find a few new tops to wear. I need some new ones. I wish I had more money but I have enough, just that I wish I had a lot more hahaha.
AFter shopping we’re going for dinner, and then tonight my two aunts are coming to stay the night with us, it’ll be a mad house!
We had a nice big cooked breakfast this morning, a full irish. It was delicious. Really tasty.
I dont know how I’m surviving, as I’ve been up since 3:30 AM. I suppose I’ll be wrecked tonight, but I’ll manage, I’m not tired right now so thats good.

Alexas healing words of the day friday

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.

Killarney

We’re in Killarney and enjoying our selves. We are having a great time. So much fun.

we went into the town and did a little shopping earlier this afternoon. I didnt buy much though, I bought a pajamas, and I went looking in another store, at dresses, I want to buy a dress for my cousins wedding, he’s getting married in june.
I saw a nice black dress on sale, but I didnt end up buying it. I was worried that I’d buy it and then lose a ton more weight and it wouldnt fit me, so I dont think I’ll buy it until nearer the time of the wedding.
We went to aldi after looking around, and bought some food for dinner. We made pizza, wings, and I got a nice sweet potato curry too.
We came back to the apartment, cooked, ate and now mom and my sister are having some drinks, I am not drinking though.
Tomorrow we’re going to go back into town, going shopping for the day, we’re also going to go for a meal, have dinner out somewhere. We also got lauren a birthday cake, as her birthday is tomorrow.
My aunt and cousin are going to come tomorrow evening and spend the night with us, we have plenty of room here in the apartment, so they’re going to drive down here and we’ll have drinks, well I wont, but the rest of them will.
Its a cool apartment, we have two bedrooms, a livingroom and kitchen area and two bathrooms, its really nice.
I’m loving that we are having this break away, feels so nice to be able to just relax and chill out.

Arrived

We just arrived at our apartment in Killarney. It’s really lovely. We are just settling in now. Later we are going in to town to do a bit of shopping and have food. The weather is even cooperating. It’s 14 degrees c here now. We are here until Sunday. Tomorrow it’s Lauren’s birthday. We might go billing tomorrow if we have time. I’ll post more later tonight.

Seldomly, I cry

Seldomly she said
Seldomly I cry
Why?
Because, because
Crying shows how weak I am
Never!
Crying is theraputic
It is a release
could she?
Would she?
Was crying really ok?
Her friend motioned to her
Just let it go
Dont worry!
Fear not!
Crying, everyone should do it!
Its healing!
She sat staring into her coffee mug
Wondering, pondering
Was this really true?
Should she just let go?
It was seldomly that she did
She never wanted to be percieved as weak
but maybe, maybe
she could now, just this once!

I wrote this poem in relationship to how I feel at the moment. I am feeling as if I shouldnt be so weak, I shouldnt cry, I shouldnt let my guard down. I suppose its ok though, right? Its ok not to be ok?
