This is the sign the apartment complex puts up at the entrance/exit to remind us to do what we can so that our water pipes don't burst. Notice the sheet of ice below the sign, which are drips that froze before they hit the ground.
Last month, when I got my qwater bill, it was 50% higher. It is because of the nightly dripping. So now I work with the faucet until it is a very slow drip. It is harder for moving water to freeze.
I did recieve an email from the Contingency Planning case worker - stating that she did not have a letter from Dr. Peris that contained the quote I sent. She asked me to fax it to her. But I did have an email stating that she had recieved something from Dr. Peris 1 day before the deadline. Rather than go for the symbolic victory of asking about what she had recieved before, I went ahead and just sent the fax.
I was getting real tired from worry. It took me 5 times to send the fax. I kept putting the paper in the fax with the wrong side facing up, and kept messing up the lead in digits of the fax number. (In Texas, sometimes you begin long distance with an 8, or a 9 or a 1 - depends on where you are and what type of phone you are using).
She responded quickly, and I got ocnfirmation from the head of contingency planning that my assignment would be changed.
I felt exhausted most of the day, but stayed at work. The chapter I had read in "Mental Health through Will-Training" was about how, during depression, the brain is interpreting the bodies input as weariness, but you are not really tired. I have thought that this was an illusion for decades, but it seems so real. It was good to get confirmation from a professional source. So I stayed on task all day - actually worked 10 hours. It was very hard to do. Fortunately, I had a repetitive task to do which didn't require any deep thought. I was in a state where I would get easily confused. I was doing a series of short database queries to collect information about how the data was strustured in the tables, so i could use those metrics to construct a model of the database. I collected all the data, so now I can begin the layout to reconstruct the database model.
I am going to the Temple today - realy looking forward to it. I allowed myself to sleep in 2 hours, so I may not have time to go to an endowment session and to the baptistry - which is what I had planned.
I did not keep my promise to myself and go for a walk yesterday - so I will keep that promise for sure today - before I go to the Temple. The high is going to be 72 DEGREEEES - YES!

This is an adendum entry to the blog. I just got back from my walk. I walked to a pharmacy to do some shopping. 4 blocks each way. The sun was bright, and there were no clouds. A Glorious day!
The presedent of AT&T sent out an email yesterday that I thought showed real class. He has asked all the top management to forego wage increases this year, and he also decided to give back his yearly bonus (which would probably be something like 7 million dollars). I think he did this for 2 reasons - so that the company doesn't have to layoff as many people, BUT also to give the union employees the warm fuzzies, so that they may decide to continue to work in good faith if the contract negotiatons go beyond the contract end date.
after using my mood light for an hour today, my mind was really working well. I got a 20% higher score in text Twist than my highest score.
