I've been up since 1:30am. It's now almost 4 am.

 

The last 2 days have been a rollercoaster ride. I don't like rollercoasters. This morning I feel better.  I got my shot yesterday, and that helped. By the time I was ready to go see my pdoc things were looking better. My vision was cleared. (It helps to have clean glasses!)

 

I could sit here and journal about the bad stuff that has happened. I won't. I will say that during the bad, and upsetting events, I knew that there would be an end to it. I didn't give up.

 

I'm getting better at settling down after a being upset. It took some time, but I didn't do anything rash or acted out like a fool. (I guess that's maturity.) The light at tunnel's end was always in focus.

 

For every upset, I learn more and more about myself. The lesson I encountered is that no matter how upset I get, I can get through it without making it worse. Walking away and keeping my big mouth shut helps.

 

I read a book that said to be impeccable with words. If I hadn't done that, things would have easily gotten out of hand.

 

Voices are quiet again today. WDAVE radio is off too. I am thrilled that my mind is free (at least right now) from the voices. It's kinda strange too. I am glad they ain't here. I can actually form thoughts without the commentary of voices. Maybe this is the start to an end.

 

I started to bake some cookies, but got frustrated. Margaret finshed them. She liked em but I didn't. Too crispy. I don't care for crunchy or crispy cookies. I like cookies that when you bite into it feels like a soft, cozy, warm blanket.

 

It's after 4 am now. I can't go back to sleep because its garbage day. I have to take it out about 6am. I forgot last week that they picked garbage up on Tuesday instead of Wednesday.

 

Frappe has an appointment at the vet for a shot. It will be hard to get him in the car and keep Teddy back. Teddy is really strong. 

 

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen. Take care until we meet again.
