How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

My day has been good. B and I have been talking about how to manage Papa Bear (B's Dad) and his dementia and his decline. Tough going but we are working together well.

Did some chainsaw maintenance and a fair bit of chainsawing this morning. It was quite productive. I was very proud of my chainsaw maintenance, (under expert guidance of course.)

I have been engaging in logical thinking and problem solving.

My day has been good. I baked banana bread. I sat with Papa Bear and had a cuppa on the veranda and listened to him. It was lovely to see the changes in light early this morning.

I had a very rough day today. Too many triggers and I had a full blown panic attack and I dissociated.

I just feel relief now that the drama is over and I got the right help in what was bringing me down.

@gizmo hugs if you want them.

My day has been busy.

Thank you Ms. Spock. Hugs are very appreciated.

I was supposed to go out to breakfast with a friend but something is wrong because she has not called me and she is an hour late. I hope everything is ok with her.

I hope everything is alright with your friend and there was just a misunderstanding or something easy!

I went out on errands today with my husband. I even took a shower and got ready, instead of feeling grungy. I feel better having done it.

I prioritised activities and get things down.

I working outside today.

Today I am glad I am able to be outside of of my reptilian brain and able to think things through and do things.

I have also learnt some things. I have been present enough to learn stuff.

I am developing new skills.

I am having a great day with my family. We all got our nails done and are loving and supporting each other.

Feeling brave and terrified (in a good way) I just had a motorbike ride as a passenger. It was so exciting.

I am feeling pretty impressed with myself. I am feel so relieved. I left my wallet and my mobile at the cafe and some kind soul handed it in. Before if had lost my wallet and phone I would have been devastated yet I didn't freak out. I was a bit concerned and slightly worried, but I didn't have a meltdown and I didn't go in to catastrophic thinking and feeling. Like O Wow Babe! Yay for me - I was distracted by three beautiful German Shepherds in absolute fine form and I went to say hello to the owner and we had a great talk and I forgot to get my stuff afterwards. So I need to be a little more present. However I had just been so brave and tried a new thing - being a passenger on a motor bike - so I can cut myself a little slack.

I had an reasonable and appropriate response to a situation. Like Wow! Like mega a wow! Appropriate emotional regulation.

Good for you Ms. Spock. I am so happy for you.

Well my morning was suspenseful when my daughter was at court, but things worked out in her favor and now she is already talking about her future and going back to school. She gets to keep her house and she never has to see her husband again.

I am bone weary and can use some healing myself over this grueling ordeal over the past year.

@gizmo I am so glad that it has finally ended. You have been through the wringer with all this gizmo. You have been in my thoughts. I was hoping it would go well for you daughter.
