Jen: First, I am not receiving email alerts of your comments. This is odd. As a blog administrator I should be receiving email alerts of all posts. Have you altered a setting that might prevent email notification of you posts? It’s a mystery.

Second, FMH is balking. While I was at the house I picked up an FMH document that was on the desk. I got another in the mail. Both are telling me that FMH needs a CPT code for the treatment I am getting at Serenity. FMH said so directly when I called today. Mary Jane has not been too helpful; I had to find out for her what a CPT code is (Current Procedural Terminology). Unless I get the issue resolved in the morning I will not be seeing her tomorrow.

Third, Ellen needs more guidance than she’s getting. I sent her an email today. You should take a look at it. It includes links to alot of math and algebra. Ellen can do it all. She can work through it by herself. She can call me if she’d like. She can call Mattie or another friend if that would help her. But she needs someone to check her progress daily.

Fourth, Adentro is the name of the blog I made for Guido. Check it out. There are some nice pictures of Guido, Antonella, Jorge, and the house.

Fifth, I hope you are taking care of yourself, letting the professionals take care of your dad, and setting good boundaries between you and anyone who might take advantage of your people pleasing nature. I hope you’re doing that because I’m not. In fact, why don’t you do twice as much – do my share of self-care.

It’s raining or I’d go out for a walk. And I need a walk. I know I need a walk because I got the munchies right after dinner. That’s a sign. That’s a sign I’m unsettled. Munching is a self-soothing behavior.

What do you do for self-soothing? Romantic comedy and Ben and Jerry? What else?

Joyce, today, challenged us to imagine what we really wanted, and to practice doing so whenever we thought something we didn’t want was in our way. This suggestion she offered after I asked her to tell us how to deal with the problem presented at check-in. [Now, I’m self-soothing here by prattling on, but I’m also taking her suggestion and imagining what I want – a little quiet time with you.] Anyway, at check-in one of the other fellows was complaining about his new girlfriend and how she had turned the bathroom light on but hadn’t turned it off before coming to bed. How big a deal is that? Not so big. But maybe you can imagine something small getting in the way of a happy thought. Maybe you can imagine something small getting in the way of making the image of what you want one of your core beliefs. Well, I hope you can imagine what you want. And I hope you get it.

Good-night.
