I swear the universe is NOT wanting me to get anything done today. I had to deal with a really big wasp flying around my head while I was trying to start my writing work today, then as soon as I got that done and situated, a spider dropped down from the ceiling and landed on my nose / glasses, causing me to react wildly, which in turn flung my glasses off my face. They broke when they hit the floor.

Not TOO horrible, as I have another pair, but it's still shit. Decided to take a break for lunch even though I'd barely gotten anything done, and the power went out while I was cooking. It stayed out for just over an hour. Sat back down at the computer and heard 'bzzzzzzzzzzzz' ... it was another wasp. So I had to deal with that, and then took awhile to try and figure out where the shit they are coming from. Still no clue on that.

Got things organized once again to get back to writing and then my uncle called to shoot the shit. He's got a lot of shit to shoot for someone that doesn't have much going on.

It's just about 3pm and I've gotten less than 1% of what I was hoping to done.

Yay.

Write if you can.

If you can't write: Edit.

If you can't edit: Outline.

If you can't outline: Brainstorm.

If you can't brainstorm: Rest.

Writing is many tasks. Do whichever ones you can handle and you'll still be making progress.

My new neighbor introduced himself to me as 'Rob', but then later when I was talking to his wife and referred to him as such, she corrected me and told me his name is 'Bob', and that he doesn't really like being called 'Rob'.

I have no fucking idea whether there's some sort of dysfunction going on with them, or if I just heard him wrong. I'm pretty sure it's the former, as I'd related to him that my name was also Rob, so his name would be easy to remember, and he didn't correct me.

Either way, I'm gonna play it safe and just call him 'dude' from now on.

Success!

One of the stray cats that comes to my yard and fleeces food and cat treats from me has warmed up enough to me to take treats directly from my hand, and only bites my thumb, like, 33.3% of the time!!

I've spent way too long playing this the last 24hrs

I'll be having my last therapy appointment with this therapist next week. We've been having sessions every other week for almost a year now.

I've learned the most important thing I needed to learn with this therapist.

The biggest thing I needed to fix in my life was my need to feel like I had something to fix.

I don't need to fix the fact that I feel anxious sometimes, or depressed, or worried, or any other thing that is just a natural thing to feel.

In fact, the more I tried to fix myself from experiencing those things, the further away I got from actually being me and living life authentically.

There's definitely a part of me that wants to lament all of the time spent reading books and practicing 'coping strategies' that never really changed anything, but instead, I'm just going to be grateful for the newfound understanding, and look forwards into the oncoming journey rather than back on the mistaken paths I've already traveled.
