Sigh! I just don't know about my sleep habits! Seems I sleep less when I go to bed later but oversleep when I go to bed closer to on time. Maybe I'm compensating but I probably should have an alarm or something. I dunno! It's hard!

Moodwise I've been pretty ok. I dipped a little last night again when I got bored and started picking again. Bleh! Gross! My "body focused repetitive behavior" has been getting worse lately and I'm feeling down about that fact. Like the more I try to control it, the harder it is to resist! I'm not sure if this is the right place to talk about this, but it kinda affects my mood. But yeah, generally I've been in a good mood this week. Enjoying my mini "vacation" visiting kitties and watching some fun Netflix shows.

I had plans but didn't carry them out today. So I'm disappointed in myself about that. And I'm tired. Best wishes to everyone.

Note re: check in

Hello again, I've been doing pretty good this morning. Today is Nancy Drew day, so I put a little sign up in front of the tv screen, so I don't forget to watch it. This morning I enjoyed watching a couple of travel shows on pbs, & also a kid's program. It all was kind of therapeutic. Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Hehe! Yep, Nancy Drew night! Little over 2 hours to go!

Well, I'm kinda in good spirits today. I didn't do anything except binge watch my new show on Netflix. I actually finished the season! (6 episodes today?? Oh, maybe it was 5) Anyway, and husband and I are going out for dinner tonight and to pick up my prescription (yeah, just a quick place for food cause it's Nancy Drew night!! Lol)

Oh, I said "kinda" good...well, the season kindof ended creepily and a little sad and I also feel kinda mixed about leaving the kitties and not seeing them tomorrow. I mean, I might go, but I might have to stay and catch up on things here. If I don't go tomorrow, I'll go Friday. Anyway, well they're just too cute to leave alone...but I bribed them with treats. Lol Anyway...

Ok, well I think I should at least do the dishes, so I'm off!

Ok, so I'm kinda disturbed at the moment by this particular season of a show I started watching...guess it illuminates some fears for me. I ugh, expressed my fear to someone online and they said the show isn't that bad. But see, this is from the male perspective and now I'm a little scared that I shared my fear. I dunno. Hopefully I'll get over it. I've been Googling all night trying to find ways to overcome fear. I feel a little bit better now...

Oh! but what brought me to this forum was to admit that while watching the show, I was engaging in my picking "ocd" thing again (for those who haven't read it yet, I haven't officially been seen nor diagnosed about this yet since it's really only been concerning since this year/couple of months). Anyway, so I suppose fear, which is kinda anxiety, right (?) is a trigger for my obsessive compulsive tendencies.

On a happier note, got to see my precious kitties again and shy Blackie was hovering around me even more again tonight. I realize that I might only be loved because I give out treats, lol, but this was even before that and after as well! <3 <3 <3 Too bad I can't live with him and possibly help him completely overcome his shyness...I suppose he's better with my folks too, but I know he still even gets jumpy with them. He won't even play with his toy on a string because it scares him! um...well, that wasn't a very happy ending....

How about this- does anyone else know someone who's smile just lights up their day?? They can be people you know or people you don't (like celebrities). I have a few and I just think of those happy smiles and it warms my heart! Happy smiles (and hugs) to all who need them/want them!!

I seem to be dealing with some challenges as well. So I'm kind of in the "this too shall pass" mode. This morning I'm thinking about what to fix for breakfast. I guess that's on the order of "living in the moment". And tomorrow daylight savings time begins. I'm glad about that.

I'm trying to fight these symptoms of depression with sunshine, coffee, and forcing myself awake. I dunno why lately I just feel so tired! I guess I'm a little bummed my "vacation" is over. :/
Suppose daylight savings didn't help either. I went to bed earlier, but since we pushed the clocks ahead an hour, it was pretty much pointless. Sigh!
