somebody do me some kind of favor

At home, crampy and irritable. I ended up sleeping until about one-thirty, which thrilled the cats to no end - I woke up surrounded by content snoring furballs.
Yesterday, I got the results back in from the bloodwork, and as I really did expect, the numbers weren't good. They didn't set off the big whoop-whoop emergency sort of sirens, but they did set of the insistent beep-beep something-needs-to-be-done-now alarm, and I'll be meeting with my doctor next week to discuss things. Obviously, I'm at one of those crossroads here, where I can't continue to ignore all my bad habits, or try to continue rationalizing them away into being "not that bad." I haven't joined Weight Watcher's yet, but I will be, and I think I've decided that the meetings are likely to be more helpful than not, so I think I'll do the monthly pass thing and see how that works.
I'm scared that I won't be able to do this, because I never have managed it before. I'm not very good at changing myself, even when I really need to. I want to be chirpy and can-do and all of that good stuff, but I can't seem to find my way to that place, where I take one or two simple hints and basic steps, and before you know it, look! Your life has improved, you're closer to your goal! I am going to proceed cautiously, and quietly, and try to make this happen.
Aaannnnd, speaking of making things happen, I have to have to have to finish up my Yuletide story. I've got a very promising beginning, but that's about where things stop. Will work on it tonight and over the weekend.
