Done yesterday (20091004)

( raw notes )

I'm not sure why it was such a bad afternoon. Well, ok, I know what the trigger was: coming back from my walk and drug-shopping expedition and being told that I'd bought the wrong stuff at Walgreen's again and was going to have to go back and exchange it. But exactly why that put me into a depressive tailspin is not entirely clear. I was restless and depressed the rest of the afternoon, until a little whimsy from Naomi cheered me up. It might be better to say "I allowed myself to be cheered up".

After that it went pretty well, making yummy chicken paprikash, baked potatoes, and tomato/bell pepper/onion salad for dinner. The major accomplishment of the evening was thinking about eating something after dinner and deciding not to. I realized that I was full, and that I would only be eating for comfort. Go me.

I have now uncovered all the things I need for the taxes, but haven't gone groveling through them for the two remaining pieces of information that I need. Ugh! I could have had all this done by the first of May, if I hadn't been busy falling apart at the time.

A hot bath and warm snuggle went a long way toward soothing the frazzled bear and getting me a better night's sleep than usual.
