The kids are sleeping, the laundry is started, and I fixed the broken sink faucet all by myself.
And I may just take a nap, too. |

@Shawnee: Am stationed with Hubby in O'ahu, visiting family and friends in Knoxville while he's training in Arizona, if that makes sense

Actually, that reminds me of why I'm happy today. I head back to O'ahu on Tuesday! Back to the islands and my lovely husband and my cute little house and the new puppy that Mr. D rescued from the side of the road and has named Thor for reasons unknown... Oh, yeah, the puppy's another reason I'm happy. And because Lil D has a new word!! At least, I THINK she said "spoon"...

:p I just wondered, because it sounded like a road trip the way you said it, and I thought "is there a Knoxville, Hawaii?"

I'm below 17 stone. Finally.
My meds have been changed after a major meltdown at the beginning of the week and I have sleeping tablets again (only 14, so have to be sparing... or I'd be asleep now). Thank goodness, I couldn't hack another night like last one, falling asleep at about 04.30. And I'm only sure of that because I had a nightmare. I think Mum & I cleared the air as well. I can never be sure though. She does have a tendency to bring up past regressions when she wants to score a point Still, they go away on Friday for 2 weeks. If I can be an almost normal daughter in that time, it will go a long way to setting her mind at rest. Oh and I've been referred to a psychiatric nurse. Which might help me move forward a bit. I seem to fall between too stools as far as the NHS are concerned. Troubled enough to need counselling and to be signed off, but nowhere near mad enough for some serious help that might help me address my issues and become a contributing member of society again. But I'm feeling mildly positive this morning, and certainly not about to top myself, like I felt before. I think I'll do the hoovering as a nice surprise for Mum.

It's been a very dry winter, but the weather people are predicting that we'll get one to two feet of snow tomorrow.
I'll pile some wood by the stove and spend the day reading and drinking hot tea. |

Two things making me happy today:
1st - I put in a solid three and a half hour stint working with my primary source materials. Did about 1000 words worth of truncated notes (should build out into a 2-3000 when written up properly). That's the first non-deadline induced university work I've managed to get my head into since before Dad died. I feel I reconnected with my dissertation subject. I actually rather enjoyed it. It was peaceful and productive and unpanicked. More of my work should be like that. If I can just reign my attention span back towards an adult norm and away from what is currently the attention span of a 5 year old (unless I am vanished into a TV programme - Dexter and BSG I can concentrate on...) 2nd: As a reward for my hard work, I arranged a Double Dexter session with J. That was a fun evening! |
