This is day 2 of my diet and it has collided with Tim's newly arrived used computer.

Gregory is doing the lion's share of the set up for it, but I feel edgy. It was my plan to get Tim's schoolwork loaded on and have him move forward today. He has been without the use of his own system since about the time school started. His files are scattered among the various systems that have served as his temporary work stations.

The e-notebooks that we have running right now have a heavy dose of synchronization between the kids as well as with the co-op. Having Melody out with her oral surgery and Tim's system in limbo have made the progress in these e-notebooks fall way behind normal.

Tim and I have handled the complications of delayed computer prior to this just fine. Even the ridiculous delays that we have had in getting this system, which we ordered over three weeks ago, haven't raised any feathers. Now that it has finally arrived though, I want it all done with and let's get a move on with normalcy.

I know. It is crazy to let it get to me, and this is TOTALLY way out of character. That makes me suspect the diet as the root cause. I was fine with all of these setbacks before today. But today, I feel tired and under the surface I am having to hold the reins in on my nerves. I don't remember feeling this way when I began the diet last spring. Perhaps the fact that I restarted the diet with a fast on such a big day as a co-op day has been a factor. Oh yeah, and we had unexpected company during the day and into late evening.  I didn't have a bit of a problem yesterday though. I felt fantastic, had energy to spare, and was too busy to even take the time to be hungry much. I had a blast during the co-op and loved having our friends in as company.

I lost two pounds as of this morning which was really encouraging. However, I think that I am going to cut the fast short and move to the regular diet phase. Getting into bed on time tonight will be helpful too. That may get everything back to an even keel.

Well, thanks for listening to my rant. Maybe I will have a better report of how it is going tomorrow.
