Morning "Briefing"

Mornin.  How’s everyone?  We’re doing pretty good.  Just wishin we wouldn’t worry and fret so.  We went to bed late ... had forgotten to take the evening medicine ‘til right before we went to sleep.  One of them is for anxiety.  I apologize to all of you who are so patient as to hear all of our ups and downs in moods.  Maybe like a rollercoaster?  Shoot.

We are looking very forward to seeing Dr. M.  I think the word is, “dissonance.”  I don’t think we tolerate it very well when our minds are running contrary to one another.

“Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation. It therefore occurs when there is a need to accommodate new ideas, and it may be necessary for it to develop so that we become “open” to them.”

Hehe - Yep, yep ... there is your Psychology 101 lesson for the day.  Sometimes we can be so silly! 

Hmm, we’re not progressing very quickly here.  Little bogged down.  One of the farthest away things in our mind is to be returning to work this morning.  I suppose that is going to be a must.  Eh, not there yet.  Skip next topic.

Hmm, its going to be a wet week this week, but about my favorite kind of weather, because it’ll stay in the 70's!  Woo-hoo!!  Whoops ... just about forgot ... our friend is up in Canada fishing this whole week.  Well, we can hope he doesn’t have the same kind of weather, right?  Though, I understand rain is good for the fishes.  Well, that is if they don’t mind being caught!  Nada chance?  Hmm, I wonder if fishes have like tales they tell each other about “the hook?”  Ya never know.

Yes folks, this is the way my mind thinks ... Kind of sad, hmm?

Hmm, there’s James with the weather report ... sorry sweetie ... already beat you to it!  But, you are lookin good!

I think what we got going here is a certain vacancy of mind.  Hehe - that James, he’s such a sweet talker.  He says, “I could just sit here and watch you all day!” 

I think this is why people see their psychiatrist.  It’s like our mind gets all filled up and refuses to go any farther.  Isure hope its one of those days where we get to talk about the good stuff.  I think we’re ok with the Casies.  We did have a small candy bar yesterday.  Only one all week!  We’re still over on the eating out part though.  Somehow we forgot that we should order groceries. *Sigh* No apple today?  Drat!

Hmm, we have a little time now ... maybe we should check that out...

“Ya-hoo!”  13 minutes flat!

Sorry if you're feeling anxious! Lack of sleep will definitely do it to anyone.  

Hoping your day looks rosier by bedtime. :-)
