Sue, I didn't talk to her after her doctor's appointment, but I did talk to her just before she left, to confirm that my relief walker was able to change the time of the walk--she was, and my senior client sounded fine.

Good evening everypony!
Thanks for the condolences. It was my favorite cousin's dad. He lived in Europe, but when my cousin and he re-connected, so did my family, and we all became good friends with him. He had Alzheimers. My heart aches for her. She's had a rough go of it. It was sooner than we expected.
I've been keeping it simple as I can today. Wish I didn't have all of these deadlines hanging over my head. On the other hand, I've got enough momentum right now to keep plugging away, though at a slower pace. Very grateful for the exercise class commitment. Would not go if I didn't have to. And then I would not be reaping the benefits of the lift in my mood.
DONE: up barely on time made a smoothie and took picture throw on my clothes--thank goodness I picked them out last night and thank goodness a kind hearted person donated a fleece shirt to me--below freezing and very windy today! went to gym to meet buddy just in case she was there, but she is still sick went to Costco to return impulsive clothing purchase (plus they were too big!) went to office supply for printer ink also got calendar for the fridge skipped other errands--too cold! came home and crashed took meds messaged w/ sponsor got frustrated trying to change my password on dropbox found another way to accomplish my task printed out timesheets talked to D figured out what to wear--new leggings came just in time! got dressed went to the gym chatted with new trainer afterwards drank second half of smoothie unloaded the car picked out some clothes to wear the next few days updated AP texted w/ sponsee. he was very supportive (he could give D lessons, who is practically autistic in that department) washed some dishes made a pretty salad and took a picture ate it found some more dishes to wash, but just put then in the sink
I think I'm just gonna do my evening routine and try to get to bed at a decent hour. see y'all manana!

Oh Chris I vote yes This little innocent cat may be just the joy you each need. I write this with one rescue cat pinning my legs in place and the other rescue cat on my shoulder purring. Meanwhile to them, I am one rescued human! Today was another busy one. Up on time but snow so it would have been better to get up earlier. Showered dressed Fed cats Grabbed lunch Shoveled walk Cleaned car Dropped dd at school Drove to work -very slow going on messy roads Had three long meetings at work. One was a fun field trip. One was a little depressing as I saw a side of a colleague that I did not like, very calculating and manipulative. Worked on a project and got it to a good place. Had to take dd to a special school thing Dropped her off and filled the gas tank Tried to clean my room. Found items to donate for Lenten challenge So much to do in this room! Cleaned closet floor a bit Dusted cedar chest Lots more to do! it becomes a dumping ground Dropped off donations Picked up dd Cooked dinner Did dishes Cleaned litter Wiped down table Wiped down a lamp Took out trash Shoveled sidewalk ( peaceful night, restful moment) Wiped down bathroom sink Cat moved from shoulder to join other cat in pinning my legs to bed

Okay, I'm ready for bed--way too late, and I didn't take a reading break today so I want to read for a while.
Good night, see you in the morning!

chris! when you felt bad for liking the stray cat because it meant you were kind of prejudiced against cats of other colours because they didnt remind you of Tony, that is a depression cognitive error. it's literally the same as thinking 77 + 44 = 102. (i dont want to say 2 +2 = 5 because that's too simple, obviously it's not such a simple thing, but it's an equally wrong mistake as a math mistake. not bad person type wrong, just factually incorrect. you've made an error when you added up the details and so you've gotten the wrong result).
remember Pavlov, the scientist who rang a bell before he fed his dogs then measured the saliva in their mouths? then he'd ring a bell and not feed them- they'd still salivate. even though there was no food. bells just became ***associated*** with anticipation of eating, ***in those dogs brains***. they didn't choose to salivate, they had no control (salivating isn't drooling), their brain literally made their body make fluid to digest food that wasn't there. well, cat person, you are a dog like those dogs! cat colours are now associated in your unconscious brain with feelings of love and attachment because the colour is associated with many memories of love and attachment that you have experienced. you have an association. you can't stop feeling that way any more than the dog can stop salivating when he hears a bell. this just happens in living things with brains! you can't control your unconscious brain! so you don't have to feel guilty about it. it's not you being PREJUDICED and discrimatory and unfair to other cats. it's a reflex your brain learned. you dont have to act in accordance with it- because you are aware of it- which you were- you are actually free to act however you want. if you think the proper cat selection process involves making a totally dispassionate list and reviewing their resumes and college diplomas and submitting the data to an impartial committee to decide on the right candidate for your pet then you can. however i'm pretty sure "ooh i like that one" is 100% acceptable pet selection criteria- (provided the person is adequately good a person that they'd care for whatever that one turned out to be. i am totally confident that you are that good of a person, based on previous cat caring activities you reported to us.)
in a way, lovely animal shelters prevent the most natural pet selection factor, which is the one of an animal turning up in a person's yard, looking hungry. that is how cats and dogs became domesticated after all. they were hovering around the cave man camps, hoping to eat garbage and eat the mice and rats that also wanted the garbage. then some people started feeding them on purpose and touching them, for fun. so you are in accordance with evolution. science approves of you!
i'm not saying you should adopt the cat. but, it's really a math error to feel bad for wanting to adopt the cat. jsut because you like/want something doesn't mean you have to act on it, so, your lining/wanting it is not the thing to feel bad about, only your actions are things to feel bad about. you havent yet decided what your action is going to be, so really dont feel bad in advance, wait to see what you do before you judge what you do. your feelings are not yours to decide, only your actions are. it's not how you feel it's how you function. you have to separate the feeling from the action.
i personally want an elephant. i wish i was rich so i could buy one and ride it. but i have come to decide actually riding them is terrible and wrong. so i never will, even if i win the lottery and get 500 million dollars and could afford it. so, i dont have to feel bad i want to ride an elephant that lives in my backyard. because i never have done it, and never will. (i also really wanted to murder several teachers in highschool, i thought about it constantly. i didnt have to feel bad about it, because i could separate wanting and feeling from doing. i didnt have to fear that i might snap and do it, because i didnt have to feel awful about my murderous rage, since it was just a feeling not an action. and so i didnt have to repress it and pretend it wasn't my real self. yes it was, i wanted to stab mrs K. there's nothing wrong with FEELiNG it. DOing is the thing to apply morality and guilt about. i never did or even said anything wrong to the teacher, so there was no problem. i was a good person and mostly followed the rules. and, really, is adopting a cat because he's orange and you like orange better than other colours anything like killing an person or even enslaving a wild elephant? no, it's not. those 2 are bad things and rescuing a cat is a good thing. don't you think all strays are equally deserving of rescue? its not their fault they're strays. so they're all equally deserving. rescuing this one is no better or worse than rescuing another one. your likes and wants are not relevant, your actions are. if you rescue a cat, you rescue a cat, and your liking for his colour is irrelevant. logically, rescue one cat = rescue one cat. rescuing one cat can never equal "being mean to other cats", can it? no, i really dont think you can make that math add up the way you thought it did.
my ASL class ended. i did ok on my presentation, not brilliant but fine. fine is good. now i have 2 weeks with no classes until the next semester starts. i have more of a chance to recover my hoarded apartment. i am scared to vow to kill all the cockroaches. because i might not. but i will make some progress. i can continue what ive been doign and i can buy borax.

Good morning everypony!
Dang, puppybox, you are so good at CBT!!! That was awesome!!!
I am sitting in my NEW CHAIR! I got it specifically so I can cross my legs when I sit. It's my preferred position, because of the way my pelvic bones were made. Plus the added bonus is I have long thigh bones, so it's a comfortable seat the regular way. I feel like the Queen of my Desk!
Last night I realized I am booked solid from 7:00 pm until my consignment appointment on Monday, so today is the day I must try on All The Clothing. Yikes!
I also need to keep working on the Urgent and Important. Next up is the car tags. I got the car smogged, so I must call the insurance back and go to the tag office.
And then there are the dailies. No gym today. D comes over. I have taken out orange roughy for dinner. Please no more disasters! (The last two Thursdays were DB's car accident and DM's fall. I think DU's passing is enough for this week. )
