Happy Easter to you whether you celebrate spring or resurrection. (I don't think i currently have anyone in the southern hemisphere reading this.)

Yesterday's commitments were definitely derailed by the whole sudden "buy a place, earn equity" rush, with the added realization - "look at the yard!" Owning a home was one of the things i talked with the career person about as a definition of success. It's not so much financial success as responsible adult success, a mark of being able to make decisions that indicate one is past the care for the immediate moment and gratifying the small wants.

The coldest water thrown on the thought of buying a place was the thought of committing to the Bay Area. I do have a network of support and friends here, but it's not clear to me that here is a place we can thrive. Moving back to NC to be nearer family has a great deal of appeal to me, despite the politics of the state.

Today, meeting with friends for breakfast (our monthly last of the month gathering), Meeting for Worship, then home to get a few MUSTs done today. Minimally, must get flex plan monies!

( Mundane food meanderings concluding with ...  ) Anyone know what brand of pickle is more clove-y? I may just add my own cloves.

It's not exactly "FML." It's more a general sense that there are a good number of folks who could go jump off a cliff. Including my flaky psychiatrist who can't remember any details visit to visit.

United Health Care, whatever about them has chased all the local mental health providers away from their services, why ever the prescription site was down all day, all that can go over the cliff first.

Whomever figured out the "work streams" at work and regulated our work to some invisible status can follow UHC.

Nah, they should go over the cliff *first*, have UHC fall on then, and then climb up the cliff to be pushed off a second time for good measure.

Other than being extremely irritated though, it's been a good day. I feel good about the day, about how i managed my time, and about how i am planning a walk for tomorrow morning at Christine's behest. I have a headache i'd love to shake, but i feel positive. I actually did stats homework for a Coursera course this morning. I think i can skip the lectures and just read the slides. I feel i might actually do the course.

I've paid for the Clarity program, and i have my first appointment Monday afternoon.

Once i'm through that, i'd like to find a good psychologist and wean myself from the meds. I think it's mainly so i don't have to see that man once a month.
