Song: “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas
Mood: 6.5
I’ve got to say, I’m getting tired of waking up because of nightmares. Another three last night and I think it’s getting worse. At least I sleep well when I do sleep.
Today was a little difficult to get moving but I listened to some records, did some writing, and gave some thought to putting the new wheels on my welding cart. I think I’m going to need some 5/8” tubing to start with.
It was cold this morning, around 4C when I got up. It turned out to be a nice day, though, and there are more days of high-20s and even maybe 30 degrees coming up. We bought some stain for the deck and I need to get my butt in gear if I’m going to get it done before it’s too cold.
I’ve also made a resolution to eat less at meals. I still don’t have an appetite but if you put a table of food in front of me, I’ll eat it all – I don’t seem to have an off switch, either. I think that part of it will be to not make a large amount of food unless we’re planning to put a lot of it away for another day. I’m also going to try to stick to one helping. Hopefully I can stick with it and start losing some weight.
I had an appointment with Dr W today. It started out pretty well but got a lot more difficult when we started talking about my nightmares and what caused them (I know exactly what caused them). He’s a good doctor and a good person. I think I’m really lucky to have him as my psychiatrist.
No appointment with Dr P tomorrow as he’s on holiday, but J and I are going to go get our strange rock checked by a professor at the university. Fingers crossed that it’s something neat!
Stay safe.
