  & Colleen: extra dressing change

All in all a pretty good day; I think my mood baseline has definitely moved up. Even having to do an extra dressing change for Colleen, just before going to bed, didn't faze me.

It was a productive day, too. I topped off the morning by chording out "Riverheart". At work, I finished writing the tech reports and got them all copied into the destination directory; it'll take only a few hours next week to gather the abstracts and titles and get numbers assigned. And I finally got the Y.D.'s phone upgraded to unlimited texting, so that'll help a lot. She's paying the $20/month for it.

 

As it turns out, the hardest thing about doing these daily updates is figuring out how I feel about things, which is what people have said they really want to know. For most of my life, I've tried hard not to have feelings, or at least not to be aware of them. This is all very new. Just bolding the lines I "feel good about" is a major step for me.

(10:57) I'm going to try to pay more attention to my feelings about things as they happen, and add a line starting with "!" to record them. This will sometimes require recording external events as well as things I've done. Boldface for "things I feel good about" can still be added after the fact.
