Although my desktop computer is operational, I continue working on my laptop. I feel at ease coding on my laptop and simply prefer using it. It isn’t easy to articulate. However, my desktop still requires some adjustments. My mouse isn’t great so that I will upgrade it later. The other day, I was puzzled because my computer had no sound while trying to listen to music, only to realize that I hadn’t plugged in the speakers! Currently, I’m encountering Bluetooth connectivity issues with the computer. It’s not detecting the Bluetooth, so I will have to troubleshoot that later. All the data recovered from my old hard drive is now on my computer. I’m organizing all the pictures and data and will need to back it up later.
Yesterday’s therapy session was quite interesting as we delved into a few of my recent nightmares. One of the dreams involved me being chased, a recurring theme in my dreams. In this particular dream, I found myself back in my old house in California, although it looked like the inside of my current home. My ex was also present to add to the unsettling nature of the dream. I froze in the dream, and it abruptly ended, leaving me uneasy and scared. However, my therapist suggested that this could be a positive sign, indicating that I am not letting my ex control me and that I refused to allow the dream to continue. It was helpful to interpret the dream this way, and I felt somewhat better by the end of the therapy session.
I have a medication management appointment scheduled for this morning, and I find myself constantly needing to remind myself about it. I’m feeling a bit anxious about this appointment as a new psychiatrist is handling my medication management. I’m uncertain about what to anticipate. Nevertheless, I am relieved to have the appointment. This appointment has been rescheduled four times before being confirmed for today.
It’s later in the day. I had my medication management appointment. It went well. The psychiatrist I saw is probably my favorite of the four I’ve had. She was very thorough in asking questions. I’ve been instructed to get some blood work done, and I also have a questionnaire to complete and send back to the office for analysis. I initially planned to drop off the questionnaire in person, but my friend Tommy suggested faxing it instead. After confirming with the clinic, I will fax the papers, most likely tomorrow.
As we approach August, a busy month lies ahead. Towards the end of the month, we are getting ready for our trip to Vancouver, followed by Alaska. I’m thrilled about visiting Vancouver and returning to Alaska. I’m relieved that we expedited and received our passports in time. Oh, it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow, and I can’t help but wonder how she’s celebrating. Sometimes, I wish we had a closer relationship, but I understand that’s not feasible. Knowing that she never acknowledges my birthday, it’s easier not to feel guilty about not sending her a birthday card. I feel a bit guilty, though.
Sandy is sitting on my desk beside my laptop, but I’m not letting her walk on it today. She looks a bit annoyed about that. I’m curious about what we’ll be having for dinner. I should get going because I need to fill prescription pill boxes and put away the laundry.
