update

It occurs to me lately that finally my mood is stable enough to allow me to function reasonably well. The irritations and frustrations and worries of the last few weeks--Tuna, and to a lesser extent, my car--have not derailed me the way they might have a few months ago. I am feeling overwhelmed, though, the last four days or so. The stress of Tuna's surgery, and all the things I must do to prepare for my week away, are chipping away at my resolve. This morning I had that feeling of panic and despair, a bleak outlook, that makes going through my daily obligations tough. I hope it is just a minor bump, not the start of a crash.
