Strange day! Have felt out of kilter most of the time, and chilly. It was a bit warmer today, but still plenty cool. Had difficulty, seemingly, with everything today. Did manage to get in a walk while the sun was partially out. But have felt a combination of anxious, cold, fuzzy, tired, and several other states. Did go shopping and picked up a gift for L. But, just felt out of it for most of the time. Was hungry, but food didn't seem to help. Am settling down some now, finally. Had a bowl of rice and spicy tuna curry--that seemed to calm me a bit.

Ended up taking two short rests/naps today--very unusual thing for me to do.

Read some of the Murakami stories. He is a master! And his translators do a fabulous job of rendering his tone and mood.

Part of my anxiety has to do with my feeling that I need to put together a plan, a structure, for the coming months--that I stop drifting and start paddling. Just the thought of doing this sends me spinning, but I must do it. The time has come...!

Got a raise in my SS benefits starting in 2007. It's an increase of 3.3% with about 20% being deducted for Medicare. Every little bit counts! Will buy a couple of tanks of gasoline. Or pay for the heating bill, given the cool weather.

Feels like an early to bed night! Rains forecast for the morrow--but a bit warmer! Yeah!
