Paying for the social life

Last night, my body finally said ‘enough’! I came home from yet another nice dinner out and then suffered through stomach issues that I have not experienced since I started my healthier eating habits. Ah well. I earned it! Ever since the teeth really started hurting before they were pulled, my diet has pretty much gone to hell. Processed foods galore as I just grabbed anything that was easy to eat (like those Country Crock tubs of cheesy rice, mashed potatoes and spinach). Top that off with what has been a whirlwind of social activity while SportsBoy has been gone and I was pushing it. This past week alone I bought vs made all three daily meals more often than not. The weekend at the ballpark. T’s cafe. Happy hour Friday night and last night. Breakfasts and lunches at work. Yeah – trouble! Eh, but it’s been fun. Back to oatmeal and yogurt so far today though :->

It really has been great! I’ve not desperately missed SportsBoy at all. I’ve *missed* him of course, but never had any of those wandering around the house teary-eyed because everything reminds me of him days. I’ve also had a blast re-connecting with friends. Many were unexpected. The gal I have known since we were 10 is here in San Diego through August because her DH was transferred down here for the summer. When I saw her last year down here, it was the first time in like 17 years that we had seen each other! We always write, but there was this hugs gap in spending time together. Then she is here again! They came over for dinner last weekend. Then there is the friend from work who I ran into at the fair who I had not seen in about 4 years. We met last night for happy hour and had a blast. More regular outings with Jax which are always a treat. I took advantage of being free and went to a work happy hour on the fly Friday night. It’s just been FUN to have that luxury! It’s helped keep me busy, enriched my life with encounters with different people, and been just enough that I am ready now to get back into mommy mode. Of course, I have one more social event that will be filled with un healthy food and drink next week! I’m going to take it really easy food-wise from now until Chicago 🙂

I must have just clenched my jaw the other night to the point where it popped a bit. Perhaps since those back teeth are not there it ended up in a different position. It’s definitely the jaw and not the teeth or gums that hurt. It’s also easing up now, though it is still sore when I got to open my mouth to eat. The weird things that happen when you fix your teeth! I would really like to be back to full strength in a week, ya know?

Got the baseball club non-profit forms completed yesterday. Yay! I’ll be trying to stay home the rest of the week and get all the in home chores done in preparation for Sunday night.  I’m sure he wont care, but I would feel better if the clean sheets were actually on the bed properly vs in a pile!
