I have an appointment with the psychiatrist tomorrow. I am anxious about it but hopefully it goes ok. I have written some notes down this evening of what to say.

I have finished swapping rooms. Apart from the washing machine and bookcase everything has been swapped between the rooms. The washing machine noise will be annoying but at least I can always go in the main room. I like to have the TV by the bed as it calms me down with Snoopy.

I waited an hour for my depot this morning. I got there at 10:10am but they didn't start until 10:20am so there were people who were before me. They seemed to assess me thoroughly today (e.g. ask my mental state) so I think that's why it took so much time. On way home now.

I have not slept well last night. My new neighbour has a machine running. I think it's a dehumidifier or air purifier. It's ok during the day but when it's on all night it makes a high pitched noise. It's happened a few nights in the past week now and is affecting my sleep.

I was all jittery after Church. Hugging Snoopy gone 3:45pm then my counsellor phones me up and reminds me we had an appointment at 3:30pm. So quickly got online on MS Teams. It went well. Just forgot about the meeting. It wasn't on my usual day though so that's probably why.

The Dog 🐶 was in Church today. So I gave him a good stroke. I gave him a belly rub before I left.

Fitted my electric blanket to my mattress. I had it stored away over summer. Saves on heating.

It's 18c in my flat today but don't feel too cold with my fleece on. Though I might put the heating on later for an hour or so to warm the place up this evening.

I had a look at local job listings for curiosity. Not anything out there for someone like me. Many jobs require a great deal of experience. Many are temp jobs. Some even DBS checks I would fail. Some are too noisy environments for me or too social I wouldn't cope.

Another morning where I struggled to wake up. I've been for my walk though. I was wearing my thicker coat as it's got colder. I remember it gets so warm in that coat I only wear a T-shirt underneath usually. I saw 3 Dogs 🐕.

Watched Sonic the movie again. Will rewatch 2 Sonic 2 soon so I can watch sonic 3 over Christmas for the first time. Done my evening prayer and listened to a bible project podcast. Will just have BBC news the context on now, whilst on my phone and bed.

Reasonably productive day today. I have cleaned my bathroom and kitchen including mopping the floors with the speed mop. Then vacuumed the floor of my main room. Keeps it all ticking over.

That's my supermarket shopping ordered for Saturday again. Though I'll probably amend it Friday with any last minute changes. I think I'll clean the bathroom next.

I've done the morning prayer from the daily prayer app today. I usually only do the evening one. It requires some concentration for 20 to 25 minutes. A good start to the day. Made me feel better.

I've been out for a walk this morning. There were lots of Dogs out. I saw 7 Dogs 🐕. It seems colder out now. I think I will have to substitute my jacket for my winter coat. I had a upsetting dream last night but I'm ok.

Church went well. The sermon mentioned the end times and but to try to live in the present in the meantime.

I'm a little early for Church again so sitting outside for a bit. It's wet out though it's not been raining since I've been out. I'm looking forward to this mornings Church service.

Breaded chicken, chips and coleslaw tonight. I usually have that at the weekend. Watching a movie now. Not usually in the mood to put a movie on I haven't seen before so makes a change.

I've been crying 😭. I find it difficult to cope and keep going. Life feels too much of a battle.

I've had a week's worth of supermarket 🛒 shopping delivered this morning and have been for a walk. I saw 2 Dogs 🐕. One Dog off lead wasn't co-operative with his owner. He wouldn't go where he was told to.
