Monday? Really?

• I was SO  surprised to discover that today is Monday because I thought yesterday was Monday! {But this explains why there was no mail yesterday! }
• No matter what day it was yesterday, I went out and bought groceries. Now, I feel rich because I have a big choice of what to eat! {This was the first grocery buying since I got back from NC.}
• I have reached the point in my panicking and worrying over my money running out where I accept the premise that this is the way it is right now, and my efforts to live in the day are {mostly} very effective. I remember this happening to me when Fred was in rehab. It is like my body can take no more of the stress and my brain, which is in charge, just shuts down the worry part… I my brain!
• I am watching the BBC DVD of "Brideshead Revisited." I love period pieces mostly because of the clothes but this is also a story which has grabbed me. The Kindlized version of the book is coming out in December and I have preordered it. It is more expensive than the Kindle books I usually buy but it is going to be worth it because I am going to be able to linger over the lovely prose.
• For the last couple of days I have woken up around 4 am and got up. Last night I woke at 4 am, went back to bed a 6 am and this morning got up at 10 am.  This will explain why I am sitting here in my robe at 11 o’clock smelling of soap and shampoo. Oh, I have just remembered Diane called me at 8 am and we are going to lunch tomorrow! Better put it on my calendar…

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone. ~Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)
