whee saturday

My therapy session yesterday went well. He provided me some tips on how to sleep better (one was that i had to stop spending my life in my bed even though its oh so comfy). Some i already knew but hearing a professional tell me kinda let me know that i had to stop shrugging off the information and just do it. We also went over the Sitting/Standing Mountain pose in yoga. He's having me try a type of yoga thats designed for people who have gone through trauma and what it has for example is it will not have 'vulnerable' positions, such as Down Dog. i like that idea of doing guided yoga that i'm in charge of. Next week hes going to give me a dvd with some AM and PM yoga and i think like a meditation guide. I'm pretty excited. Another suggestion he had was to try doing meditation before i go to sleep. So i've tried doing like this tension/no tension thing where i tense up and release like sections of muscles, like i'll tense my feet then let go then work my way up to my head, then after that i'll try some meditation. So far it seems to work with killing my monkey mind and relaxing me enough so i can get restful sleep finally. I prefer sitting in my bed since its so nice but i agree, if i keep sitting in it, it will stop being associated with 'sleep' and start being 'day to day life' and also being hunched over all the time to work on my comp isnt good for my back so this is better but still.
I really need more decorations in my room.... this 'all white and empty thing' just isnt cutting it for me. It looks so much worse and empty and bleh when i clean my room.
Oh, tomorrow my bf is going to give me an Easter egg hunt (yay!) and then i get to see my friend whos over there and i dont get to see him often. Monday bf and i are going shopping for clothes at the mall near my house and then we'll be able to eat my parents easter dinner leftovers yay! oh maybe i can get some froyo :o i'm such a froyo fiend XD Damn lactose intolerance. I'm such a glutton for punishment. I die whenever i eat dairy but i cant stop myself when its in frozen yogurt form. nomnom red velvet cupcake yogurt mmmm. I need to learn how to make that. Seriously. I found some sorbet recipes in my italian cook book and they look pretty simple and they're non-dairy so i think i'll make them when it starts to heat up. Its just fruit juice and sugar. Maybe another ingredient too, but i dont remember. I should look through the rest of my cookbooks and pick out any other recipes that i want to try for me and my family or me and bf. I dont think my family will like all those desserts around though if i want to make those. My dad will probably eat them even though hes diabetic. ugh.
I am almost done knitting my first sock even though its getting close to weather where i wont need wool socks lol at least they'll be ready for next season.
