I woke up one hour after my usually get up time. Feel okay with that! Headache low an no Parasethamol. I gave myself a good time with the breakfast table and newspaper (have to go through my economy this month to find of if I can continue my subscription on all the newspapers I want to read).

After breakfast I did my usual physical exercises and then I repeated my notes from former therapy. I found out that schedules are not only for those with bipolar disorder, but is highly recommended for all types of depressions. A schedule helps us to stay focused and not ponder so much on old difficult stuff. It helps the brain to focus on the now. (I have experienced that myself).

I went 2/3 of the distance I usually walk in the mornings. After that I was at a café (ohhh, have to think about if such experiences shall be allowed now with the higher food prices). Have bought food on my way home.

I will rest a bit before I make dinner. After dinner I will decide if I shall work for an hour today or only relax with a book.

It is wonderful to feel that life is on it's way back to normal after Christmas and the New Year eve.

and that's sad. especially seeing as I'm younger than 49 and believe I've not begun to live
I’m sorry for your loss.

Last few days have been really hard. Today is a bit better. A bit more normal.

Today was not as busy as other days, but still it's enough for me. I worked out a little bit in the morning. In the early afternoon I had a phone consultation with my Urologist. It went well.

After dinner I felt very tired. I don't know why. I slept OK last night. It didn't rain today for the first time in a few days but it's supposed rain a lot on Thursday. The nice thing about having all of the rain is that there's so much lush greenery out there, which doesn't happen at where I live often. I love looking at it. It will be sad to see it go.

I'm feeling upbeat. I'm completely over my recent depressive episode. I don't know how that happened. I guess enough time passed and it just blew over, like how a bad cold just runs its course and then ends.

I'm not feeling well today. Yesterday I mentioned that I felt tired after dinner. I'm thinking something's up. I didn't sleep well last night because i felt too wound up. I did my laundry at 6 this morning and it was dark, cold, and moist. It's a wonder that I've been able to do it because of not sleeping and feeling well. I think I might have the flu. It came on suddenly. Also, my thermometer to put in my mouth to see if I have a fever, didn't work. It's a digital kind.

After folding the laundry I went to my sofa and slept all morning. That's rare for me. I had trouble being able to nap because my neighbors next door had company and they were loud. And the jets, from the airlines and airport, were taking off in the opposite direction making it noisy as they are taking off over my place.

This day started with me wanting to see parts of the funeral of former pope Benedict. First I overslept. Then I found out at the breakfast table that the funeral started earlier then I had thought.

I missed the opportunity to do my physical exercises for my body and I missed my time repeating old therapy notes and using a CBT/DBT book. These two are my most important morning rituals and can help me to stay on track for the rest of the day.

I wasn't able to continue my day.

I'll start fresh again tomorrow. A setback is no catastrophe.
