I have started rereading 'the Artist Way' .  It has already given me strength to cope.   I have also stopped eating chocolate to see if that might help.  Now my only comfort food/beverage is decafe coffee with a dash of milk.   I knitted a little today.   I studyed pictures of butterflies  and looked at photos trying to make some identifications. I have studyed star charts but it is not helping much.  I can not see enough to find my way about the constellations in the night sky; and I seem to have trouble remembering.
