Night.

The Best:

I have overlooked petty things that my husband has done that I might have gotten myself worked up about. It's what's good for me, so I'm glad I'm able to do it.

The Worst:

I am resentful for having done more of the housework and more of the work of taking care of the dogs. I don't know how to resolve this issue if my husband doesn't want to do more. I suppose my only option is to accommodate and to know that he's doing the best he can.

Night.

The Best:

I have been taking care of myself through a really trying day. I called my sponsor and got sense talked to me, which always helps.

The Worst:

I am really swept up in my husband's problems. It's his stuff, and I don't have a lot of say in what happens, but I am afraid for him and I want him to be ok.

Afternoon

The Best:

Last night was shelter night, and I always feel like I've done good work by volunteering my time there. I helped a student study for the G.E.D. exam, and we then talked about his poetry. He seems to appreciate the opportunity just to be heard.

The Worst:

I am unnecessarily fretting about whether or not my husband is going to look for a job today. If he doesn't, nothing will be different. If he does, then it will be great. I'm occupying a part of my head with projection and fear that I could be using to enjoy, say, this apple I am going to eat.
