I did just honestly a good job today, including kicking myself out of a negative cycle of reading The News and freaking out right before bed and right when I wake up. (Not that it's not freakworthy, but, sleep deprivation is bad for you and I would like to be hard to kill.) I got to the gym and the bookstore and the farm box distribution and the farmers market and overall it's been a very good day for self care. My therapist recc'd a book on Internal Family Systems, which in brief seems to take the metaphor of a multi-vocal internal self and run with it. The metaphor kind of works for me, so I picked it up and I'm going to read it. I also finished The Power Broker, after 18 months, and I feel I should mark the occasion. Absurdly long book and I lost my temper at Robert Moses a hundred times during the reading of it.

Late late late but here nevertheless!
