My little Merlin is curled up on my shoulder and is giving me a wonderful snuggle.
My anxiety is already revving up so I won't be watching ANY news shows. I'm planning to fully rely on DU for any updates. Hopefully all holds up. If not, I'll switch to Face Book.
Today I'll be taking a full dose of my anxiety medication and hope it does the trick of tossing me in to nap mode, this afternoon. Truth is, if I didn't have the kid cats to care for, I'd probably still be in bed with today's medication doses and a glass of water right next to the bed.
Now I'll make something for breakfast, before my appetite disappears. I'll be checking in on this forum throughout the day and night.
Let us all vibe for the best and keep our energy in the positive zone.

(92,332 posts)My plan for the most part sans the kitties. I do have my weekly appointment with my therapist this morning, though. That should be helpful. And I have to do my grocery shopping, that's a good distraction for a little while.

(9,664 posts)I just keep thinking about how we all started 2016 upbeat and confident. At least Im retired now so I wont be sitting at my desk crying like I did then.

(559 posts)I realized my shoulders were up around my ears and I couldnt concentrate on anything, so decided it was Xanax time even though its earlier than I planned. This is going to be a long day.
