Enjoying my "weekend" for the most part. I was supposed to meet with my PsychNP today, but he had to abruptly cancel due to an emergency at the practice. Stuff happens, I get it, but I actually really wanted to talk to him today, especially given the bombshell with my mother this weekend.
He apologized (Not his fault, obviously.) and said he'd call tomorrow to reschedule our visit. I hope he can fit me in soon, considering my appointments are on Mondays and both Christmas and New Years are on that day! Fingers crossed, I guess.
Pretty much stayed home today. Gave me plenty of time to cook another meal for myself. Swiped the recipe from a meal kit website. Ginger Coconut Chicken Soup. Chicken of course, ginger, coconut milk, curry powder, sweet chili sauce, carrots and farro (Kind of a proto-rice, proto-buckwheat type grain. Real big in Ancient Rome and weirdly enough, sold by my small town grocer!) all mixed in. Really hearty and delicious! The spices give you a warm you up heat that complements the normal chicken soup heat very well!
Tomorrow is going to be busy day. I'll be fielding phone calls from my PsychNP and the Department of Education. I get to ask for income based payments on my student loans. Student loans on a college career that has for far too long and yielded little results. That's a rant for another time. Another thing keeping my life unstable. I am going to head to the city, about an hour away. No reason. Just for me. Bookstore, butcher (Have some recipes to try, just no cuts of meat!), Asian market (for some spices), Indian market (Spices too, but also a big bag of rice!). I wanna get a running start on my New Years resolution!

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
