MD Check-in/OUT July 6th
Could not get to phone or computer this morning, so end-of-day summary. SELF-CRITIQUES UNDERSCORED. Bold = not done
(AM) Breakfast with kids and visiting relative. Try to convince to extend stay. Wow--did not expect to do so. Adjust kids' schedule if successful. Pack pool bag. Go to aqua fit. Allow time for quick chg. Bit tight but got it. Get to physio-massage in time. Oh yeah (the motivation of a nice massage helps w/ punctuality:-) 1 min to spare...even got bonus time afterwards. Call tire company and repair store; choose brand to order. Bummer since have to take 2nd trip this wk across town; and no rebate possible but found way to save $40. (removed previous stress despite visibly worn tires by checking pressure -- intense heat this wk, too)
(AFTN) Return in time to swap kids at camp OR get letter notarized. [Extra unplanned driving; planned to do one only]. Begin bills--TV and phone. Review & pay medical bill--project for July and pay it! I felt in inferiority I did not want to disappoint Doctor (not that it would have) so got this done. Open mailbox and face tension of biz letter/bills. Stashed these in briefcase -- BREATHED heavily but did it. Scan receipts for landlord and email. Get kiddo medicine. Even convinced him to take it AND to try new brand. Put away guest bedding. Mentally prep evening therapy. Check email. Eat leftovers to clean out frig. Settle kitchen area. Work on not getting angry -- no matter what! I AMAZINGLY kept totally cool through an intense, ugly
argument....I have no earthly idea how I did that. Hoping it's not a fluke as wish to replicate frequently. It worked again with kid's minor drink spillage but I failed a bit at bedtime, so a big 2-outta-3 (not bad for me)
(EVE) Help relative prep for road trip. Quick dinner. Pick up kids. Try to maintain good mood. Successful again; reading anger control -- briefly-- helped. Therapy session. Try for phone bridge at any :30 past. No takers but no worries. (Primarily wished to apologize to weekend phone partner for not showing last night.....bit of subservient apology again but figured I can get it Wed on phone) Confirm any appts for this & next wk. Begin realtor contact. Finish 2 bills. Relax. Put kids to bed. Decide Wed. exercise plan/AM schedule "Mindfulness"--got bit stressed over slightly disrepaired toilet; but despite not being handyman, jiggled something that worked. I dread owning house in future when I have to pay for such repairs in future.
A GOOD DAY&NIGHT TO YOU ALL. Am almost worried that rest of week will NOT go well since today was somewhat manageable. Still beating myself up re: the bold above.

Hi group! Thanks for the gratz on yesterday. My health didn't alow me to get to a meeting as planned, but I am feeling better today. The sun is shining, squirrels are makin' like bunnies all over my wooded backyard, and butterflies are on the wing. Thanks to HP for a really nice day!
I made enormous progress on paperwork backlogs this long holiday weekend, using the :20-on, :05-off timer which really helped. I felt so empowered by the progress that I even got a tedious insurance company phone call done this morning before starting work. Also had several program calls, breakfast, Step 11, two work calls, 2 work emails, and now I'm going to take a break! Rest of my to-do list when I return.

Follow up visit to dr. on Thursday, although I'll just be getting a chest X-ray and they will have to review it and call me on Friday with the results. I really think they'll say the pneumonia has cleared but you never know. I just hope they don't want to give me another round of antibiotics, those things were horrid.
