silver_chipmunkI got up around 10-ish, had breakfast and coffee, and then took a shower and got dressed. Finally it was 1:00, and they called from my pension place. The man who called was very nice, I only had a few questions, and he answered them easily, They answers were all good for me, and I am all ready to start the next phase, doing the paperwork of actually filing for retirement.
Then at just before 2:00, the phone rang and it was the hospital. Nothing to remark except they are going to put the PEG in on Monday in all probability.
While I was talking to her, my therapist called. I had asked her to call at 2:00 instead of 1:00. Fortunately she called right at the very end of my conversation with the hospital, and I was able to call her right back.
The session was mostly about stress. I'm under an awful lot of it right now. But I am handling it well I think. And things will get better.
Anyway, after that I took out the recycling that I got together a few days ago, and the garbage from the bathroom, and walked around the block for a little exercise.
Then I went into the bedroom and lay down for awhile and mostly played solitaire.
Eventually I got up and puttered on the computer again for awhile, until it was time to go to my meeting and have dinner.
I went to the Crosstown Diner for dinner, pastitsio, with a cup of seafood bisque to start. It was very good. Then I went to my meeting, which was also very good.
Got a text from the Kid, asked her to call me but she didn't. Maybe I'll call her.
Then I Skyped the FWiB, but we couldn't talk long because he was coughing so badly. This is worse than before.
Fed the pets, and now I'm going to finish this and get ready for bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people in them.
3. My therapist.
4. The Kid.
5. My pension answers were helpful.
6. Working 10 - 5 tomorrow.
