Day Ten plus Two

Why do I number the days in this way? Because I'm numerically challenged and wouldn't otherwise be able to work out when the second set of ten days is over during which I am giving two pills a go.

What emotional pangs did I notice today?
 Panic when I had to take care of my tenant's flat being "flooded" from above; feeling of exhaustion and loneliness at the end of quite an intense day.

What feelings about differences did I notice?
 I continue as puzzled about this question as ever
 
What went well today? Managed to deal with everything that came my way without flipping or breaking down.
Had a boost of energy from not needing to check with a client re sending me his source text: it was in the in-box when I checked my e-mails this morning. Beat the alarm-clock by about an hour and arrived at the dentist's in good time.  Chatted with a few people face-to-face in town; did my shopping.
Called the garage to fix a date for my car MOT.
Dealt with colleague's unexpected illness. Had good lesson prep.
Called my ESOL boss to confirm/discuss new arrangements.
Appreciated the starry sky, including the appearance of Orion in the pre-dawn sky. Enjoyed the sunshine in the morning and afternoon. Picked some blueberries. Admired the not-quite-half moon half an hour ago.
 
How can I make it happen more regularly?
 Practice makes perfect...
 
What strengths have I focused on today?
 Ability to deal with quite a few unexpected occurrences at short notice; teaching; cooking.
 
At what point did I feel most authentically myself? When I was able to smile into the sunshine; when I dealt with my tenant's trouble; as I cooked a lovely evening meal; as I transformed the neighbour's gift of two pounds of lovely plums into a plum preserve in small jars that I may be able to use as gifts.

What is still on the to-do-list?
Practicing my Gaelic for the upcoming exam
doing my accounts
dealing with a fairly major translation job – not necessarily in this order!

Has Concerta made a difference?
Still not very sure. I seem to function more efficiently, but also have pretty awful moments in between when I sag and lose the will to do anything at all. And I tend to forget to drink, which causes headaches. I've noticed the odd moment when my mouth is dry.
But I woke after not very much sleep but feeling rested and ready to go.
