  2. People have been saying for time that many of us should distance ourselves from toxicity.

    Recently I decided to finally do that with two family and it immediately freed up this weight that I didn't know that I had been carrying and now I suddenly have even more joy for other people. :)

  3. I haven't been doing my ergonomic exercises; so this morning my eyelid stuck to my eyeball for the first time in ages. It's very sensitive to light now; but it will pass in a few days and then I will be able to see clearly again with both eyes.

  9. I got irritable with my therapist today for the first time.

    I used my words and she thanked me.
