Therapy Bits

It is 6:40 in the morning. I’ve had a long sleepless night. The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. I thought the wind would never die down. I just could not sleep. I spent time ripping movies, reading, I even made chicken strips at 2:30 because I got super hungry. It is still very windy outside. We’re under a status orange wind warning until 9 PM tonight. I was supposed to have a face to face therapy session this afternoon, but I decided to text Eileen yesterday and ask her if we would be safer doing a session over zoom instead. She agreed, so that is what we are doing. I will be volunteering today also. Not sure yet for how long I’ll volunteer, it will depend on how busy the service is, the friendly call Christmas lunch was supposed to be held today, but my supervisor cancelled it due to the severe weather conditions. She said she didn’t think it would be safe to go ahead with it. My PA Frances is due to work with me this morning. She’s supposed to be here at 9 AM. I hope she’s able to get a ride to work or get the bus. Normally she walks, but if she walks in this rain and wind she’ll be like a drowned rat by the time she gets to me! I turned on my heat. My house felt cold, and I want to warm it up, so I turned the heating on. I’ve also had a couple cups of coffee throughout the night. I know, not great for insomnia, but oh well. Caffeine is my addiction. I could be addicted to worse drugs. I need to call the surgery today for my blood test results. I tried to call the nurse yesterday but I couldn’t get through. The results are only given between 1 and 1:30. Oh shoot, I cant call today. I have therapy at 1 PM. It will have to wait until tomorrow. I hope our power does not go out. I’m thinking if the high winds keep up it might go out. I’ll be so bored if the power goes. No internet, no laptop, no TV, no phone to read my audiobooks. Please pray it does not go out. I’m going to go make more coffee. Hopefully I’ll get through the morning, then, at 2 PM after therapy if I am tired I will take a nap.
