I am taking Missy's advice I am going to bed I am ending this day. I waited 24 hours since my BFF told me last night he was calling tonight. Why do I set myself up for this?

DH went up to market to pick up fruit for breakfast and also brought back half a carrot cake. Yes you guessed it I had a small slice and it was really good but after I felt like I failed myself.
Well all i can do is try harder tomorrow.
Nite all
