Bit late in the day to do a blog but today was eventful. This time it was my wife's car that had a dead battery. In therapy, we prepped for another EMDR session. I'm not the fastest at processing so it's been slow going. But we're here and that's what counts, right?
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful for my therapist. Always gotta shout him out. I have so much noise in my brain that his patience and thoughtfulness is always so helpful at unraveling the tangled cord of trauma, mental illness, and just, oddball quirks that are MY BRAIN.
2. I am grateful for the friends in my life who don't get weird when I set a boundary. Most of them are like that. Like, the vast majority. Now my biological family, on the other hand, that's an entirely different basket of cats. But man, the juxtaposition is kinda nice.
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
My psychiatrist prescribed me a new as-needed anti-anxiety medication. I haven't tried it yet since my anxiety has been pretty even-keeled the last like. Day? Maybe? The 24 hours leading up to this moment? Whatever the case I have a new tool in my toolbelt.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
I have to mosey my way over to AutoZone to get my wife's car battery back. It's fully charged and good. So. Something else is wrong with the car. But I scheduled a meeting for her next week with our preferred mechanics. Hopefully, it's resolved soon and with little fuss.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
Truth be told my biological mother sent me an email with nothing but bible verses. No idea why. No idea about the context. No idea if I should call her and ask. Without delving into more private matters, I can at least say my relationship with my biological parents is fraught. It might be best to not engage. It might be best to nip it in the bud.
