101 goals in 1001 days

I'm having a terrible day today. I got to stop identifying myself with my work. Any setbacks and failures that I have at work, sometimes it gets to me and affects my mood even outside of work. I am not defined by what I do, why am I still feeling anxious over what happened today?!

I came home and went straight to the fridge and had Maggie Beer's Burnt fig jam, honeycomb and caramel ice-cream, Grain Waves, and watercrackers dipped in yoghurt cheese. Healthy dinner huh....no wonder I'm breaking out on my forehead.

Then I played the piano...it always helps when I'm feeling blue.

I am ready to go to bed now and perhaps read a few pages of Pride and Prejudice.

I thought I'd get this list ready before I sign-off...
