In my best judgment, today should be considered a good day.  I met with a counselor who was encouraging about the slow recovery from the depression.  And, I was able to help a lady that was traumatized about some dream interpretation during group.  So, I should feel good about that.

I didn’t go to school because of these appointments, but from what Nick said, everything went well according to the note I sent in.  I guess I’ll have to judge that for myself tomorrow.  The same little boy that missed school on Monday, missed again today.  I hope he is okay.  And, I hope we can get him caught up to the class without any real trouble.

Anyway, I went to our take-out Chinese restaurant and bought my favorite.  After lunch, I took Pup-Pup for a long car ride.  That always makes me smile.  I love the “driving around for no good reason” feeling.

I should feel good about the next part of the day too.  I worked on picking up the house, I made dinner & the family was able to eat together at the table.  There is a good sense of satisfaction in that.  And, it feels like a good piece of progress too.  Afterwards, Jerry took Nick to scouts.  And, so I worked on cleaning up the kitchen & was able to clear off areas that have just been full of clutter for some time now.

Helped Nick with a math problem & watched some CSI with Rachael and Jerry.

I’m going to assume that the whole “I’m bummed out” feeling that started around 7pm was just another misinterpretation of “I’m tired”.

Mood rating for the day:  5.
