reasonably calm...like a little sailboat out on the ocean. The seas seem calm and yet it nags at me that just beyond that calm horizon there is a terrible storm brewing and there isn't much I can do about it.

I'm experiencing election anxiety.

Worried...

My poodle isn't acting like his normal self. I think he doesn't feel well...please keep him in your prayers y'all :(

Ditto ........

Hot! And I have a headache.

Well rested and ready for the day ahead.

I hear that.

Good and proud of myself. It's taken over two years but I think I've conquered my fear of freeways. I couldn't have done it without cognitive therapy, a good therapist, and encouraging friends. Thank you.

I had planned on taking the freeway route, but my talking phone detoured and took me through the mountain-view path and it was nice and fun; tight, winding roads going through the mountains—just what my car was made for. I had to catch myself and slow down. So, yeah ... I think I've got this.

:bow:

At this very moment?
 

Like a steaming pile of cow dung. lol, how's that for truth-telling? I'll be over it by tomorrow after I have had a chance to fix it; but for right now I'm just calling it like I see it. :)

ETA: But I should add that I also feel really good at the same time because I had the opportunity to do something good today; so maybe I will just call it a wash and declare Even Steven with the Universe, lol.

My life is really weird these days. All over the place.

Like a weight has been lifted.

Hungry and excited for dinner.

Exhausted. The day was spent shopping for my daughter that turned 19 today. She has significant physical impairment and spends a lot of time in her bedroom. She requires 24 hour awake care. She enjoys novelty lamps that produce light displays. After several stores the perfect disco ball was found. This evening I loaded her into her wheelchair and we took a walk through the neighborhood. Afterwards, we opened gifts, I took a million pictures and danced to ABBA with the disco ball doing what disco balls do. Fully exhausted and ready to sleep I find out that the nurse scheduled to work with her overnight is out of town. "A mix up." So, awake it is.

Although I am tired and slightly grumpy, I'm still grateful for today. Celebrating 19 years of life for a child that was not supposed to make it to 2.

Thankfully he seems much improved :)

Thank you for all your kind thoughts!

Hormonal (go figure)—feeling like I have a hormonal imbalance. Maybe because I've been eating and drinking things I usually avoid. I haveen't been going nuts, but I have been enjoying myself. Things will be better once I get home.

i feel great. I'm making chicken soup with homemade noodles for some of spouse's friends. Not so sure about the noodles but loved making something different!
