Gina, I hope the babysitting is fun and enlivening for you tomorrow.

I met with my T today, but that's not what's noteworthy. There's a wildfire about three hours to the north of here if driving 70mph on highway 101. The smoke is so bad here that on my way to the therapist, you couldn't see across the Napa Valley, which is only about three miles from ridge to ridge. It's pretty bizarre with all the yellowish light and air you have to chew before you can breathe it. Aside from that, we had a little earthquake this morning. It is California, after all.

Now going back to my therapy session, I told my T that I had noticed multiple instances of negative thought this week. She said, "Good! That means you're aware and can fight it."

Between that and her perspective that dreams can give us glimpses of the body's wisdom, it was a good session. (I should say, it always is.) The tangent about the dream comes from a dream I had last night of being manic and hallucinating.

(Now a celebration. ...or an apology. I've never written this much here before.)
