Today was really a rather good day! I saw my beloved psychiatrist after his usual annual 5 week vacation to Martha's Vineyard. I was upbeat and he seemed pleased with my good mood.

I had a lot of fun searching for a family tree for a branch of my family. What inspired me was a sudden interest in an historic site and museum near my childhood hometown, which I plan to visit (with my dad) next Wednesday. I chatted about it via e-mail with my sister throughout the day. It was fun! I also received a call from a volunteer at the historic site. We had a lovely fun conversation. I'm actually considering volunteering there once per week. We'll see. If I do, that will push me to visit my dad more often, which might benefit us both.

I had plenty of energy to tidy up the house sufficiently, make a bread pudding, and go out to a cafe for lunch followed by a small grocery shopping trip.

Bird boy has been fed his special goodies, and I'm relaxing now. Hubby is going out with his buddies, and I already ate my dinner. I didn't overeat today. I'm mostly satisfied with my day's diet. I did take my evening medications earlier than usual, so I'm getting a bit sleepier earlier than usual. That's OK.
