Chronic bad mood

I haven't posted regularly because I am in a chronic bad mood. And I'm busy working on a project for my son's 1st birthday.

I'm really enjoying running at this point. I feel like I have enough of a "base" that I can go out and enjoy the workout without feeling like I'm going to die in the first few minutes. I'm trying to follow the training schedule, however, so that I don't overdo it and get injured.

For some reason, I have been craving fat and sugar for the last four or five days (bread, pastries, etc). I have indulged, but I'm really trying to get a grip on it.

It might be my hormones shifting that is causing these changes (mood, appetite) but I think it is more about the life issues. Things at home are challenging and work isn't fulfilling me. I'm hoping that after next week, which includes two major milestones (Raviv turns one and the anniversary of my mom's death- which I didn't address last year) I come out of my funk a bit.

I do have to say, I have the most gorgeous commute to work. I can't stand it!

AND- TWO days in a row I have seen mail trucks being towed! One was on a flatbed truck and one was a regular tow. (This pic isn't the actual truck I saw, but it serves the purpose).

Also- Last night I had a dream Raviv said his first word. It was "popcorn."
