Productive day

Well, started my day w/psychiatrist evaluation of my anxiety/depressive symptoms and it went well. I liked her, the intake was thorough and her validation that my embarrassment/fear regarding work readiness was a relief. Bottom line is there is more evaluation to come via MRI, labs, EEG and neuro exam, all hopefully can be accomplished in the next two weeks while I am still off work. Then a visit to work to explain the prolonged time off was also a big weight off my shoulders. Their support and concern was of great comfort.

Then I brined a chicken ... bit of a process but hopefully the results will be worth it. Once I realized that it would need to sit in the brine for 4 hours, then dry in the fridge overnight, decided to make mac and cheese for dinner and try out the new stove's automatic oven option. So, I made it, put it in refrig and off to the gym for a good cardio, tai chi workout, then home to do some more cleaning up of the guest/sewing room. Helped G cut the wood for the sewing table, took the Christmas lights down & put away, finished the second coat of paint on the wall, organized some storage and filled 2 bags of clothes and accessories for Salvation Army donation. Then we went to W. African drumming class which was fun! Home to find that mac and cheese came out like soup ... UGH! Either the recipe time/ingredients were wrong or I didn't set the timer correctly. G ate 2 bowls anyway, lol! I put it back in for 15 mins and it looks yummy now ... maybe it's breakfast today?!

Off to get labs drawn ... more cleanup today and calls for appts.
