Good morning! It is 9:30 and I am still in my red and white striped pajamas because I got up at 9 AM! I woke first at 3 AM but for even a person like me who prefers early rising, that is too early! I read for about an hour and fell back to sleep again. I heard my cell phone playing the annoyingly cheerful music that reminds me to take my medications at 8 AM. I remember thinking, “I’ll get up now,” and when I opened my eyes again, it was 9 AM! According to my weather program, there is a 20% chance of snow this morning. As I look out of the window, the sun is shining, the sky is clear blue with a few fluffy clouds floating by. The temperature is 45 degrees.

Tomorrow I am taking Jake to lunch, or to be more precise, he is taking me since he is doing the driving but I am paying. And before that, he is driving me to where the talk-therapy person will be at the end of the month. I have high hopes that this will make me feel more comfortable and less likely to have a panic attack when I go there at the end of the month. On Monday of next week, I have an appointment with the new-ish doctor who is now my primary. Which reminds me I need to call the pharmacy for a refill on Celexa.

I have two things to get done today. I have wheeled the cart with the laundry bags out from my bedroom to a place I will fall over it unless I move it to outside the utility room! The other task is to reorganize the freezer, well, at least to make a start on it.

OK, I have finished my toast and Marmite and almost finished the coffee so, time to get going…
