Mari,

We did our grocery shopping yesterday. My husband wasn't happy, but he understands that we need to do these things early to avoid the crowds... he's not a patient man. We did the same thing before Thanksgiving. Our fridge and cabinets are packed.

That Target is always a nightmare. It's just going to be much worse because it's so close to Christmas. All the toys, those big TV's, etc are on sale. I'm going to have the cab wait for me while I run in, and I'm heading straight for the pharmacy counter. I don't think there will be an increase in pharmacy traffic.

I suffer from social anxiety, so it's not easy for me to be in big crowds. I do pretty well with my cane, but people walk right into me. It makes my anxiety much, much worse. I am deathly afraid of falling- especially in public.
I haven't been anywhere near the mall close to Christmas in years.

I don't have an appointment scheduled with tdoc after this one. I should make one today, but money is on my mind. Every time I visit pdoc or tdoc it costs me $70 between the cab fare and copay...

I'm already worried about the costs associated with the substance abuse evaluation and counseling. It's going to be very expensive.

I'm going to reschedule the eval appointment. It's too close to the holidays so my husband probably can't get it off, and he doesn't even want to ask. Because drunk.org seems to have a habit of rescheduling appointments, my husband will wait for the week before the new appointment date to ask for the day off.

I'm really happy that the extra 50mg of seroquel is keeping me stable right now. It's very encouraging
