1. A more upbeat session with Susan (my therapist) today. I brought in my photo album and we began looking at my pictures. The idea is to help bring back memories as well as give Susan more background information. We started with pictures I have of grandparents, great-aunts and -uncles and so on. We ended up with baby/young child pictures of me and luckily almost all of these evoked happier memories!

2. I also had a good session with the psychiatrist in that he adjusted some of my meds to help my cope with the agitation that's been coming back. The meds don't numb my feelings. They're just supposed to regulate the anxiety and anger some memories are bringing up.

3. The library is having a book sale and I have $5.00 in my pocket! Wooohoooo!

4. I got another upsetting letter from the bank but decided I would not react and respond. They are wrong and I can correct their mistake but will do so in a calm manner. I will call them tomorrow when I can think clearly.

5. We'd moved the dreadmill into our bedroom to give my mom more room when she was living with us. It definitely crowded us, though, and today my son and TB moved the darn thing back to the family room. The bedroom is less cluttered now, hooray!
