Day Ten plus One

First day on two times 18mg Concerta Extended Release.


Beat the alarm clock by about fifteen minutes and felt fresh as I got up – that was before the pills. Later in the day, after working in the damp outside, I felt very tired and chilled and couldn't really get warm until I was cooped up with 27 other people in a smallish room.

What emotional pangs did I notice today?
 Worried about not enough work coming in. Misunderstood by a fellow choir member, and lonely on coming home to an empty house, having walked home from choir.

What feelings about differences did I notice?
 ???

What went well today? The getting up was easy. Got my to-do list almost sorted, made a phone-call I'd been putting off.

How can I make it happen more regularly?
 Keep looking at my to-do list and not let myself be too distracted.

What strengths have I focused on today?
 Gardening? Keeping going on little food/drink (which isn't actually all that good).

At what point did I feel most authentically myself? Gardening, I suppose. Weeding. Used to hate it, now I find it quite therapeutic. Quite like to get my hands dirty. Picked my second-last mange-tout peas and a surprise handful of wood strawberries. A neighbour gave me a big bowl of lovely plums, some of which went straight into my very late breakfast at 4:30pm!
