What is an ideal day? in My Therapy Book

I am not sure what this would be, but it was a prompt that spoke to me. I love going out and being around people, just walking a quality mall is always relaxing. There is something about being out and watching people. I don’t even need to purchase anything to enjoy myself. Just look at people. I am looking for a trip (solo) to get out and see something new. I don’t know if this is escapism or just being adventurous. One of my best days was when I got my master’s degree and spent the day at Magic Kingdom alone. Everyone had to work. Sitting on a bench and watching happy go by was great. I guess one major overarching fact is I like to get out of the house. The last year when I was driving was great. I could leave whenever I wanted to and go where I wanted to without asking anyone. That clearly ended in October and I am sure that has some to do with me being down. I hate having to ask people to take me places. It might also be an excuse, so I have something to blame it on.

On a side note, I have started “eating” again. I am not sure why. It is hard to stop. I ate a box of girl scout cookies yesterday. The whole box. I felt like shit about myself when it was over. I have drawn a correlation between eating and being alone. My office mate was out all day yesterday and that is when I did it. I tend to eat more when I am alone. I am headed to NOLA in September, and I would really like to be in better shape so I can go a day early and take time to enjoy the town.
