Smokey Day

I feel like I've mostly not noticed wildfire smoke in Regina, but today it's really significant. It smells like woodsmoke (of course) and is making me feel anxiety. Not quite panic.

Erik took some photos of me on the day of my dad's celebration of life. I know he would have loved to see me like this.

I used to be so good about tracking expenditure in a budgeting program. I keep trying to start, and then things happen that crash my mental health. I'm going to try to start catching up with entering and categorising things in Quicken, but I have months to do; since the middle of June.

I'll try not to get too distressed about it and just catch up slowly. Maybe half a month a day or something like that.

But this is just one thing of a group that I'm trying to get started on to feel more in control of my life now that I'm back home and finally not going anywhere for a while. I'm really scared that something awful is going to happen again soon, but I'm going to try to act on the assumption that it's not. Getting a handle on money is, I think, one of the most significant things I can do to improve my mental health right now, as long as I'm up to doing it.
