I did three (3) loads of laundry! I knew i would get to it. The weekends seem to be days i want to procrastinate but Monday rolls around and i get right on the horse. I always know it's Laundry Day when the only thing i have left to wear is my casual and pretty Christmas dress! That's like how in university i used to know it was my friends Laundry Day when he would wear his tuxedo shirt!

I used a new brand of laundry detergent and it smells heavenly but my dog hates it, she is frantically rolling around on our bed trying to destroy the scent and transfer her own smell to it! But i loves it! Clean clothes, clean clothes!!!

My first night at 17mg Valium went just okay but i feel fine today, not tired, so i'm still hopeful about it.

@BethRags: I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so uncomfortable right now. I *do* think it was very brave and wise of you to email your therapist. It's hard to tell people that their behavior is a problem for you but since it's a pattern i think it was best to take action. Try not to be too hard on yourself about the Clonazepam. Tapering is a long process as you know and one little slip is not gonna make much of a difference. I know what you mean about childhood trauma bothering you. When i'm upset i start off being angry at the current incident but it often ends up going further and further into past hurts. I hope you feel better soon. Remember: This too shall pass.
