Part of me feels like I didn't get much done today, but then I remember "Oh yeah, that because I spent like three hours putting an Ikea dresser together." I got stuff done! 

I also read the last three chapters in the non-fiction book about Roman Gladiators that I've been reading. I've owned that book for two years, and never got more than half-way through it (even though it is a fun read). I've added a new non-fiction book to my goal for tomorrow. I will do the same thing with that book. Read a chapter a day, and highlight what I find interesting or useful for novel research. 

I feel like my emotions are much more stable. I still have stress and frustration, but now that I'm not using food to numb the "feels" I deal with the emotions as they come. If I feel like I'm getting too stressed or over-whelmed, I call up my friend, Anna. She is great at talking me through my problems and has yet to run away in the opposite direction. I probably owe her a cheesecake or something knitted for all the help she has given me.
