Well, I managed to get out of bed this morning. No choice, actually. The kidcats were HUNGRY [View all]

Yesterday my frustration about my med eval being pushed back by 2 months absolutely red lined so I grabbed my chain saw and went haywire on a Corkscrew Willow and Trumpet Vine that are hanging over my fence line, from my neighbor's yard. Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do while going through an anxiety crisis, but I was so angry that I just wanted to DESTROY SOMETHING and that seemed the most responsible target. Guess that frustration kind of prioritized itself over everything else.

Today I'll push myself to stay busy so I can focus on something other than my current anxiety 'crisis' situation because yesterday was awful. The weather forecast shows some nasty hot weather headed out way, starting Saturday so I should get as much yard work done as possible.

To top all of this off, as of Saturday my entire 'support system' of people will be out of town, all at the same time. Some just for a week but my brother is driving to California to see and help out some friends so I'm going to have that to worry about, too. He promised he will be back by July 11 so we can celebrate what ever penalty the judge hands out to the convicted felon. I'm guessing we will both be disappointed.

Tomorrow I see my therapist. I'm counting the hours.
