I had a better end to the day than beginning. Maybe knowing I'm going from a new med that didn't seem to sit well with me (Xanax XR) back to something I how I react to (Klonopin) has helped my mind. There may also be something to that "fake it 'til you make it" saying.

I had a book club meeting this evening. I struggled all week to finish the book and finally did (good thing it read fast). The time to leave for the book club came around and after the day I had had, I wasn't even sure I wanted to go.

But I figured I might as well. The people there are all nice and friendly, good company. It's not a far drive. I'm so glad now that I went. I'm very introverted (though I guess a lot of booklovers are that way too), but the company did me good. I left the meeting feeling a lot better than I had going into it. Might be something to that saying.

My daughter is on a total summer sleep schedule, and I need to get her turned around. Today, she slept until nearly noon! She told me she couldn't fall asleep until after 1 AM. I think I will work on it next week. This week, she has vacation Bible school at one of her best friend's chuches. The church itself takes about 30 min. to drive to thanks to constant stoplights along the way. Plus, her friends parents and grandparents are very involved in the church and the VBS so are among the last to leave, which makes my daughter one of the last to leave because she and her friend haven't seen each other all summer. I never had a good friend like that in school, and I definitely want my daughter to enjoy spending time with one of her 2 best friends (they all 3 play together at school). My husband has been taking her to the VBS since I'm going to be taking her to another STEM day camp next week.

Glad to have a happy end to the day
