What small thing/s did you do today to chip away at your avoidance?

We went to dog walking.
We went to see Papa Bear and had lunch with him.
I made some good choices today.
I made some good food choices today.
 
I am attempting to re-train my inside voice, damn slow & torturous, but showing good progress though I would have to say that the change in meds was the catalyst.
 
I got up and got moving and went for a walk.
Then I made breakfast.
I made a choice to turn up.
 
I wrote a one page summary and took it to the police station so the cousin will be somewhat constrained whatever he chooses to do next. Hopefully we are covered.
 
I applied for a job!!! :) I've been very scared that I've lost all of my skills and to even go into an office and act intelligent and able to do a job. Also, feeling very ashamed of my appearance right now. :( Anyway, I did it; I jumped over the hurdles.
 
Again with the gutter! A roofer was "supposed" to show up today to address this issue. Well, he didn't. I called at Noon for an ETA and was blown off with typical stonewalling. I drover over at 4:00 and spoke with the asst. mgr, and showed her the videos of the rain rushing off the gutter and had the sound turned off so that she could hear the racket I've been enduring since MAY! She called the maintenance supervisor (he's a dirty word for a man's parts!) who was supposed to get back with me before day's end. Ummm, nope. The asst mgr won't be in tomorrow, so she said the manager (she's a dirty word for a woman's part that I never use unless I it fully warranted!) or the supervisor would call me then if I didn't hear back tonight. Hmph!

So, avoidance be damned, I'm sending an email tonight and will call at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning for an update. If I am not given an acceptable answer, I'll be calling the regional office. If that doesn't go well, I'll be calling an attorney. I am livid right now. Grrrr! Bah Humbug to these bozos. Lets see them push back against an attorney; they've violated three state statutes at this point in the game. So, well, let the chipping or chopping begin!
 
I try to use my time in therapy or with my Shaman trying to get close to my avoidance. To dredge up long buried memories that’ll never go away unless I bring them into consciousness . That’s one small thing I do to address avoidance.
