Hey, Gang! Hope you're all having a good morning. I'm doing pretty alright. Anxiety levels are rather high today. Almost makes me feel like a mental health weatherman. "We have a high manic system moving in from the eat that'll probably give way to some depression in the late evening."
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful for my friend, Chris, who I haven't seen since last year. He came over, brought Root Beer, and we sat on the porch chatting about all things nerdy: Star Wars, D&D, diet changes. You know, the usual.
1. I am grateful for the opportunity to talk to medical professionals like yesterday's meeting with the dietician. It's a fine line to balance, what with having health anxiety, that I don't trigger my own anxiety. In this case, I think it's unrelated ... I hope it's unrelated?
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
So I met with the dietician yesterday and it went really well. She confirmed that I've made really great progress and she believes I can improve my cholesterol without the use of medication. Even better it shouldn't require any sizeable shifts in diet, more like surgical changes.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
My wife has the day off so we'll probably spend most of the day together. That aside, I might tackle the start of Chapter 6, get the creative ball rolling, so to speak. LIke I said the other day, this is when the really aggressive rewrites will start rearing their heads so I want to stack the deck in my favor before I start.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
Like I said before, my anxiety is a bit heightened this morning but I don't think there's much to be done about it. It's a weirdly zen form of anxiety. Like holding to contradictory thoughts in your head at the same time. Boy, mental health is fun, kids.
