3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
The last altercation with Daughter had affected me more strongly than I realized, and although the Weekend Job went smoothly enough, I was unable to be grounded all day.

It was only in the late evening, cuddled up with missus in front of the footie and after a stiff dose of chocolate that inner calm descended. I was suitably reminded that often the best treatment is simply downtime in the right environment. You cannot think your way out of a negative mood, only calm can re-set the mind.
