Another little victory

I feel like I need to give myself a sticker or something. 

Are you ready for this?

I swept and mopped the whole place! Mind you, it is a one bedroom apartment but still. 

And then… and then, I showered, got dressed and went for a walk!  

I banged my knee against a door and I have a bump and an ugly bruise but I don’t care. 

My mood improved almost all the way up to a 100% just by seeing how clean and tidy the place was. 

I must not let it get that messy. That’s another bloody vicious cycle: The more depressed I get, the less I am inclined to clean and tidy up ==> the messier and dust-bunnier the place becomes, the more depressed and/or anxious I get. 

The good news is that my bloody OCD prevents me from letting accumulate dishes in the sink so at least the dishes are always done. I just want to shoot myself if I go to the kitchen for whatever and see dirty dishes in the sink. I don’t even want to think of dirty dishes on the table or worse, littering the floor. It’s like having creepy crawlers all over me… gaaaaaaaah

*Take a deep breath* Oy! That was close….

Anyway, Meatless Monday. All my days are meatless, but on Mondays, all items in the menu are 10% off at my favourite vegetarian/vegan restaurant.

   

 Soy meat rice noodle. It tastes as good as it looks. Yum!

I think I smiled all the way back home :)

Belated Silver Linings Playbook Review

[Minor spoil alert]

Last year, I wrote about my surprise when I found out about Silver Linings Playboook.

Theatrical release poster

Time went by and I only got around seeing the movie three weeks ago. And then promptly forgot about the promised review until I was reminded of it by a post on A Canvas Of The Minds Facebook page.

In case you don’t remember, the movie is about Pat Solitano (played by Cooper)’s intent to rebuild his life having just been released from a mental institution where he spent the past eight months. Pat is bent on reclaiming his life exactly as it was before before his hospitalization. But he’s in for a couple of surprises and a few epiphanies too.

A lot of things have happened since my first post.
