Some stressful things going on in the boarding house as well. I'm so overwhelmed

Oh gosh, Lee! I'm so sorry you feel so overwhelmed...that's not good about the stress in the boarding house 😞
Well done for going to your therapy appointment despite not wanting to. I'm sorry it was so tough. Yes, I haven't forgotten your doctor appointment tomorrow morning.
How is your heart rate today? (You don't have to answer)

OK...I hope so, Lee... ❤
My day has been better than yesterday, thanks, but icy cold. I bet it must be icy there too. Two more days of it, apparently. You must be freezing, with no heating 😞

You know those calming tablets you're allowed to have...how would you feel about taking one when the storm hits?
