Done yesterday (20111116 We)

[mdlbear]

A good day. I'm not sure why, and probably shouldn't analyze it too much, but on the way home from my "Avoid Avoiding" group I suddenly realized that I was feeling better about myself. No idea how long that's been going on, either, or how long it's going to last.

I wonder whether I would even have noticed, a couple of years and 30mg/day of citalopram ago.

Took a nice walk; somewhere upwards of 3 miles. Decided to call the new netbook Cygnus (mainly because of the Cygnus X1 black hole, but also because of the association with black swans). Hopefully it will be shipping soon.

Following pocketnaomi's lead, I ordered a bunch of mylar emergency blankets to take down to Occupy San Jose. The weather has gotten distinctly cold, especially at night.

Lots of links, mainly about the Occupy movement and the recent raids. Especially, check out Dorli Rainey, octagenarian pepper-sprayed by police at Occupy Seattle, on "the importance of activism" (video) "I feel great. I feel so energized. It's so amazing the effect a little pepper spray can have on you." She's right.

      going to analyze that much farther, and I don't really know how long
      it's been going on or how long it's going to last.  Just enjoy?  Not
      sure how, but it's worth a try.

Happy you've been feeling better about yourself :). As far as I've found trying to let go on some of the analyzing and just enjoy is a habit to build like any other so give yourself time for the baby steps and don't give yourself too hard a time if it doesn't come easily. *hug*

Thanks. *hugs*
