My depression and anxiety were mild today. I got my dog outside so i observed my minimum obligation to her. We had privacy in the dog-park. It was overcast and grey with a breeze that kind of ruined the mild temp which just hovered at freezing. I also did a big cleaning chore which i am happy about. Still not able to tolerate any of my activities. Being bored is better than being irritated tho. Not much of a choice.

By this time tomorrow my dog and i should be home safe and sound from her nail trim. I booked our taxi today and it did not go smoothly but the operator seemed to clue in eventually that i was not asking for a taxi immediately, i was booking it for tomorrow. I feel it's best to book well in advance because not all drivers take dogs. I hate talking on the phone!

@otroo:

So sorry for your suffering! I hear the first year after the loss of a loved one is the hardest because you're going thru all the special occasions for the first time without them. My mom lost my dad at 50 and she found a grief support group very helpful, said it "saved" her. She eventually adjusted and came to enjoy a tame life and her independence and took up travelling. Grats on quitting the cigs, that is just huge! Good job! My mom died of COPD after a lifetime of smoking so i'm always happy to hear when someone quits. Good on ya for quitting weed, too, that's a complication nobody needs.
