phinnia | huh. that was less useless than i thought it would be

Well, Rehab Therapist Guy gave me some stress-management exercises on a CD and we talked about SSI and benefits, how that works with working and going to school (they appear far more reasonable than i thought), what happens with voc rehab, and about pain control/pain gateways/coping strategies in pain management and control. he gave me a list of books and wants to see me again when i've gone through them to talk about them.

it was surprisingly okay and i feel a little better about the world now.

i also found honey dijon mustard and dill pickle relish and taco bake stuff at the grocery store, and got the stuff to make freezer jam (except for the fruit which i'll buy at the farmer's market).

and i unpacked the box of cute underpants that came in the mail, so i'm all set for cute underpants for my trip.

and i got a postcard from

adularia (related).

i've been reading 'the writer's book of hope', which is absolutely incredible.

now i'm going to write. i hope you are well.
