I cashed a few savings bonds so I've got more of a cushion. Having only $100 in your checking account is a terrible experience when you're unemployed and have $54/mo car insurance. So a weight is off my shoulders.

My depression is in remission, eg. I'm happier on the whole but I do still have periods of frustration and excessive energy, feeling suffocated by boredom, things like that. Anxiety is way down. Sometimes I still have dreams about the guy like breaking into my house or looking through my windows but that's highly improbable in real life. Plus, the dreams so far have all been set in my old house. We moved a few years ago.

I'm getting really fat so I'm thinking of exercising in the mornings. I get up at 9 to watch Will & Grace, maybe I could get up at 8:15 and ride my stationary bike for half an hour, shower, and still get to watch tv. I don't expect to ever be skinny but I do want to lose a little before I really do have to buy bigger underwear. And to have more than two pairs of jeans to pick from when I do leave the house on my rare outings.
