I looked up copyright laws and internet images in the US. Needed to do this for myself and the blog I started. Right now, I only use images that I produce(with one exception). Learned some interesting things and some things that just made my head spin. Found some free image sites through the article(written by a lawyer) and signed up with the site regarding handling social media.
Felt like old times when I use to research things for pure enjoyment. Felt good.
Had a really great "date-day" with my boyfriend today, taking him around to Dr.'s appointments and errands etc. Tomorrow I am volunteering at the VA and he has an appointment there. I'm going to take him back home after I'm done with my shift and he's done with his appointment so we'll have two "date-days" in a row! Might not get to see him for awhile after I start my new job on Monday, so I'm grateful for this time we have now.
I went for a two hour walk. I sat in a cafe and had mild social contact. I went for a dip in the ocean for 5 minutes. I went to a drawing class and had rather strong social contact with a friend. I did some weeding in the garden. I chatted to people in the PTSD Forum Chat room. All lovely things that I did for me today. I am getting my activity levels back and at them!
Worked at the VA today and had a good shift. I was supposed to meet my boyfriend, but he overslept and missed the van. That is ok because he hasn't slept in a couple nights and really needed the sleep. Plus it gave me the day to work up drug charts so I'll have easy access to the calculations and protocols and everything calculated out already for my new job on Monday. Now I have the entire weekend to prepare mentally, physically and spiritually for my new job Monday. Thank you God for all your blessings!
I helped my self to not smoke! When I went to get the paper I only took enough money for it - prevented me from slipping into my usual routine of buying cigarettes. I am now 2 days an ex-smoker and feeling really proud of myself. Plan for tomorrow: only take the money I need for my social outing so I can't buy smokes and stay away from the smokers area outside! Remove the temptation!!!!
