Kel had these acai bowls, so I decided to try one. It’s decent, but not particularly filling, which makes me wonder if I’ll make it to dinner without snacking. Not that this house has any snacks at the moment; we try to avoid keeping snacks around. It helps us refrain from snacking. The kids tend to go out and purchase their treats.
I keep forgetting that I have therapy today. I haven’t attended a session in three weeks, and I find it hard to remember what’s happened during that time to talk about. I’ll probably go through my planner shortly to review the last three weeks. I received a text from my therapist the other day informing me that he was on vacation, which is why he made adjustments to my schedule. He scheduled a session for next Tuesday, but I need to reschedule it because Karissa has a cardiology appointment that day, so I’d like to keep that day open for her. Plus, I’d hate to have to rush back home for my appointment and cause myself all kinds of anxiety!
Since I cleaned in front of the closet, I realized I could tackle the inside as well, though not right now. I have some stuffed animals stored in a tote box. I’ve been thinking about letting go of some of them, but I find it challenging to part with my belongings. I want to keep the beanie bears, but there are other stuffed animals I could probably let go of. My oldest stuffed animal, my panda bear, remains on my dresser. I’ve had that since I was a baby.
Lately, I’ve been wanting to clean and declutter my space to make it look nice. I just want to enhance the overall appearance. At the same time, I find myself wanting to procrastinate because I’m struggling with the promise function in my coding. It’s easier to shift my focus when I’m feeling frustrated.
I had my therapy appointment, where we focused on my three-month assessment, so there wasn’t much discussion of the last three weeks. I mentioned my anxiety related to being off my blood pressure medication. I wonder if I might be experiencing withdrawal symptoms since I’ve taken it for years and suddenly stopped when the doctor discontinued it. This could also explain why my skin feels so itchy. I did take my anxiety medication today, and while I still feel some itchiness, it’s not as severe.
I have a dental exam scheduled for tomorrow. Karissa and I have our appointment in the afternoon. The dentist will only be able to examine my teeth, as they won’t prescribe antibiotics just yet, which means the appointment should be fairly quick.
I plan to read a bit more about this promise function and then put away some clothes. I’m unsure what we’ll have for dinner tonight, but we should be able to make do since we have leftover carnitas from yesterday. I’ll need to check that in the fridge.
