My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

         I just got back from therapy.  I've been going to the local board of mental health here since moving from St. Pete for the anxiety and depression issues... since I can't afford to see a psychiatrist.  I say that taking the risk of sounding like a nut.  I guess the nut would be the one who knows he or she has a problem but doesn't get help.  So, there.  =)

         Anyway she gave me the names of two books that I am going to see if I can locate and read:  TOO PERFECT:  WHEN BEING IN CONTROL GETS OUT OF CONTROL; and PRESENT PERFECT:  A MINDFULNESS APPROACH TO LETTING GO OF PERFECTION AND THE NEED FOR CONTROL.  A book I already own and have started re-reading recently is:  THE LITTLE BOOK OF LETTING GO, by Hugh Prather...  It's been really helpful this week.

         When Jorge returns from Mexico, my plan is to return to St. Petersburg and stay with him until I find work.  He will come here and help me drive back with my stuff---including Goober!  Rest assured, I am looking forward to the completion of that task!

         I've got the following balls in the air at present: 

                   * moving;
                   * getting another job;
                   * securing unemployment;
                   * paying the IRS this year;
                   * calling my lawyer with a few last minute details and paying him.

         When these balls fall into place, I will begin the next adventure!
