Ok, I am in DC. Not in Florida. But it sure feels like we are in the tropics. Rain every day. Not torrential, but enough. The birds don't even bother hiding from it any more. Muggy, wet weather! Temp says 70 degrees, but it feels a whole lot warmer. Enough with the rain already.

I've been out of work for past 2days with IBS. Found out that I cannot eat anything from 5 Guys. They serve hot dogs, hamburgers and fries. Well, I haven't been getting the fries, but the burgers and hotdogs (cheesedogs) have been ok. Not anymore. Had some Sunday for lunch. 3 hours later I started paying for it. I am still in discomfort, but am able to walk at least.

I did get quite a bit of knitting done yesterday. I am still working on the stuffed rabbit-the ears. 8 inches of stockinette stitch, BORING. But I got more done yesterday than I thought. Just back and forth, very calming.

Things are peaceful at homefront. At night, I lay on couch, B next to me, and Sweetie on my lab. She lets both of us pat her and is perfectly content. The EMDR that I had worked for me. I recognize what I need and B is willing and able to reinforce that he is willing and able to provide it. Verbal and non-verbal messages.

Even last nights, with a small melt down-mainly worry on his part-nothing like the past. This is so much better than what happened previously.

Tomorrow will be his treatment-the first of many..though I know of one of his greatest fears. He has journaled and then let me read his journal. He has a great fear of being left alone. And he feels all alone. Not lonely, but being totally alone in the world. And that is a horrible feeling. He has never learned how to deal with that-never shown the tools, hopefully the EDMR will help him with that too.
