At least they're sitting right here in front of me at the table (and I wouldn't have taken unbottled 'others' instead, there's too many pills).
I'm really surprised at that behavior from me...
Shows how much the theft from my Accomplice's car rattled the household as a whole yesterday.
Special K: How often do you forget them?
b1: Maybe 3 times in a year of pandemic?
Pandemic puts an extra load on the psychology of living.
I did it once in the three years previous.
K: I forget my daily pills about 4x year.
b1: I'm about on that schedule.
K: How much do you feel the effects when you miss?
b1: 0; except for the beating myself up part.
K: OK.
b1: I believe I'm fundamentally 'getting better' or 'not declining,' depending on the day.
K: Very good.
b1: I'm positively full of 'self-talk.'
Immediately before every meal (2 or 3× a day), I pause briefly, to remind myself I eat this way to get better...
[And I didn't come from a family that said grace before meals, so it's not ingrained, like say, prayer.]
I'm the early days of my regimen, a couple years ago, it was to bolster not eating 'good regular food'...
Now it's to reinforce broad neurological advancement or compensation.
K: Excellent plan.
b1: You and I are identical in that -at the very end of the day- we are responsible for what happens to us personally...
•If we don't step up, no one will.
•You do what you have to do.
•You do what you need to do.
Always.
K: Yes, absolutely.
b1: It's a good game for me. My will's as strong as anyone I know.
My entire life has led me to this very moment...
• It's not a mistake.
• It's not an accident.
• I am not a victim.
• I play the hand I'm dealt, with the resources available.
K: My will is not so strong, and I'm lazy (or something similar), but I'll always take responsibility.
b1: I get a choice.
I need to continually choose best I can.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
