Today is the fourth day on the pain patch, and I feel almost renewed.  My energy has come back and I feel very  positive and grateful.  I feel hopeful that things are going to come together as they should, and that I will be able to function fully and more than adequately from here on out.  
My anxiety has all but disappeared.  I feel calm and content,and I feel very focused.  I am feeling more spiritual and closer to God again.  I feel excited about life.  I almost like celebrating.  But it is one in the morning, and I know I need to settle down and go to bed soon.  A part of me wants to stay up and get some projects done, but the other part of me says, "practice regular sleep habits and good sleep hygiene"
I notice already that I am not eating as much, and my snacking has abated.  I am however retaining water.  Lasix time.
I called the conversion program Rabbi:  I am re-initiating my conversion work.  I am glad for it.  Now I just need to get the house all orderly again and organize my messed up stuff.  THat ought to keep me busy for a while.
Bob wants to take us to see the assisted living facility on Sunday, I think I have just about convinced Mom we don't need to go there.  May  she can tell Bob no.
I am going to order groceries from Peapod:  by the time I get a caregiver here it costs about the same.
I found all my old folders, I think I will re-examine them tonight and put them in some semblance of order tomorrow.
