Checking in after a break. It's been a busy week. Out of town at a work conference last week, lots of activities over the weekend. The anger has been a lot better. My counselor's advice to make note of when it pops up, etc has been very helpful. It's been almost exclusively when I discover more items that she's taken. It's helped me control my reaction. The locks will be changed this week.

The grief recovery class was canceled last week due to more than 1/2 of the class having conflicts. We're back this Thursday.

I have an IC appointment in 2 weeks.

Generally, it's been a very good last week. Had some fun events with the kids and also with friends. Football team had a monster win on Saturday and I was at the game celebrating with a group. My voice is still shot from all of the yelling.

One negative is I definitely had too much to drink in a 4 day span. Work conference evening on Wednesday, a friend's punk rock concert on Thursday, then the game Saturday. It didn't feel like burying emotions, just having a good time, but in hindsight I wish I'd had a couple less drinks each day.

The other negative is I'm way off track with the gym right now. I only went twice last week, and I'll need to skip today in order to take S1 to the doctor. That's more important, but I'll need to get back on track starting tomorrow.

I hope everyone is doing okay around here. I'm swamped at work so I'll try to catch up on the other situations later tonight.
