Roller Coaster Week


The Roller Coaster Week

Well last week went from a high to a low. I felt like I was on a roller coaster. On the 14th I achieved my first mile stone of 50 pounds gone. (51 actually) I was so thrilled and happy with this success. Then I had a breakthrough in the writing of the story I’m writing. I stayed up the whole night writing on Wednesday. Then Thursday I went to turn my laptop on and it wouldn’t work. Well all my writing is in the laptop. The articles I write about Walt Disney World, the story and a lot of pictures. I know nothing about what to do when a laptop doesn’t work so I started to panic because all I could see was all the work being gone. I had three panic attacks on Thursday. It was an all-around terrible day for me. This was made worse by the fact I have no cell phone so I wasn’t able to get online and stay in contact with my friends. [90% of my friends live out of state] I felt very isolated from everyone. I chat with the people who help me when I have the panic attacks or at my wits end. This was this way till Monday. I had 2 more panic attacks over the weekend. I was blessed to have my laptop fixed by a friend’s husband for free. YEA!!!!!! [I spent all of last night catching up with people and writing in the story.]

I have learned to have a backup of my story and a backup for the backup. [Well for anything I write] I realized while I didn’t have my support system at my fingertips I did survive on my own. It wasn’t easy and I hated it but I did survive. This is a great thing to learn.
