Day Seventy

Samhain – the hinge-point between seasons. A time of reflection, of remembrance.
Yesterday I thought today might the last day with Concerta – for a while at least, until I feel I know what difference this medication has really made –  but I've changed my mind.

What emotional pangs did I notice today?

Lonely, but ok with it.

What went well today?
Got quite a lot done: 
- sorted out some work;
- had my hair cut;
- had my car's front brakes sorted out by having new discs and pads fitted; 
- did some much-needed garden work, pruning the bay shrub that's been crowding out a wee apple seedling and a redcurrant shrub;
- had my car's air-condition re-charged and now understand better how it's supposed to work and be used;
- had a fairly positive response from Argyll Voluntary Action re my request for a volunteer to just come and "babysit" me while I work on my accounts – I live in hope!
- got to Tai chi feeling absolutely washed out but left feeling I could take on the world;
- cooked myself a delicious meal: lovely steak on a bed of home-grown salad, including coriander leaves and – probably the last of the nasturtium blossoms – the frost has ravaged the lovelies;
- close-read the lovely home-made card my friendly neighbour gave me through her kids – really touched!
 
How can I make it happen more regularly?

Keep on keeping on

What strengths have I focused on today?

Managed to keep a straight head

At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Walking home from the garage in the sunshine, and walking back into town to pick up the car.



What did not go so well?
Still haven't touched my accounting. :/
