Dear Companion,
yes ... That's right, companion! To refer to you, whoever "you" are as "Reader" has seemed too cold. If you, for some reason, follow my ramblings as I try to regain my health and take possession of my life, you are more than just a reader!
Today was a lovely day because I did not have to leave the house at all today. This is a regular conversation between me and my psychologist. Having had full-blown agoraphobia before, my reluctance to leave the house, and my difficulty doing so is of some concern to her. Knowing how much worse I used to be, my current level,of anxiet at leaving the house doesn't concern me at all!
Another thing that made it a nice day is that almost no one came to the house! The dry cleaners man and the facilities director,who brought over a chimney sweep! Yep, I didn't know they were still around either.
I was able to get quite a lot done. In my som's bedroom today and am looking forward to cleaning it more tomorrow. I also have to pick a paint color for it. I have five windows in there, and six dark brown velvet curtain panels. I think I've got it figured out how to handle that. I have to pick a paint color and, hopefully, will have it painted and clean before our guests get here Thursday. Oh, that reminds me ... I need some sheets. Doubletree has promised to have us the mattress here in time!
My husband and I went to a nearby village for dinner at a nice cafe. I had the lobster tacos and the grilled shrimp on arugula with tomatoes and white cannellini beans, the same salad I had for lunch yesterday.
I picked a shower curtain today for the bathroom that goes with my study. It's a beautiful Celtic design in luscious shades of ourple and blue that I think will tie together the lavender in my study with the blue tile in the bathroom.
My husband has a very full day and evening tomorrow, so I should be able to get a lot done tomorrow!
The klonopin is building up some and the anxiety is going down, but there's still a ways to go.
Cheers!
Lisa
