Nearly a same day report, your luck is improving with only minor hiccups. I woke up with the alarm at 6am feeling like a bucket of crap. I went back to bed to see if the pressure headache and scratchy, closed throat would be better later on. It was.
I had a couple of errands downtown; to pick up my ‘important’ mail from Karen; she’s my ‘home’ base. And to go to another office about this pretend job, but it’s a holiday weekend and I miss that person as she’s got the day off.
So, I took this opportunity to get another P74 event in. So, at 2:45pm:
2 x sprays P74; both to the front of my throat.
Self effects: Before spraying, I’m holding a positive mood. Deliberately. There are too many things going on that can get me down, right now. I don’t notice any particular shift in mood, just an easing into something I don’t have to hold as firmly.
Outside temp: A glorious, sunny warm day in Seattle. Temp is approx 69F, with a light, warm breeze, humidity approx 58%;
I leave the house in a short sleeved T shirt and jeans. Some people are wearing jackets - generally those used to warmer climates. You can tell the tourists here, by the warm clothes on one of these days.
Karen texted me this morning to tell me to get there as soon as, because she’s going to leave early.
I get to her office and she’s in busy mode. I get the smile I always get, and she’s going to leave as soon as she finishes what she’s currently working on.
She gets her keys, the mail is in her car, and we walk together. As we walk, she loses the ‘working a work problem’ look and relaxes into a conversation. She’s smiling and I’m smiling too. I always smile when she does at me, tho’.
I ask if she has a couple of seconds for a quick chat and she decides she does - for a couple of seconds.
Her repeating that word means she doesn’t really, but for me she will. That could be the P74. If she doesn’t have time, she doesn’t - and we’re both good with that. If she doesn’t have the time when I ask, she will catch up with me after work. I, for obvious reasons, don’t have any kind of problem with that.
We talk for about 20 mins. This is out of the ordinary and the P74 - I’m thinking.
A couple of seconds usually means: I speed talk with every thing salient to the conversation; articulate clearly what it is I’m asking with no digressions. She speed listens, take a minute to process and comes back with some information or a “Hmm, I’ll look into that”. But, when we get done, she digresses into what’s been done to the house. She’s relaxed and smiley. This has got to be P74, usually by now it would be “Well, kiddo, I love ya, but I gotta get back to work”. And it doesn’t happen.
So, I did the right thing and said I wouldn’t keep her any longer, love ya right back and left.
I get downtown proper, and to go to another office about this pretend job, but it’s a holiday weekend and I miss that person as she’s got the day off. A different “receptionist” an Asian man approx mid 50’s - just on appearance. After asking what it is that I’m wanting, starts smiling and getting very helpful. I walk out of there with another appointment for Wednesday. No challenging, just “Oh, I can do that for you. When would you like that and what time is good for you?” Normally, there is resistance to just making an appt.
Korteney texts me with an invite to her place; I’m supposed to get some stuff from her bf, but he’s yelled at me a couple of times now (not posting non mone related interactions) and now, when I see him; I start to have a stress, pre-panic response. No bueno. Korteney tells me that he’s left the studio and not left anything with her. So I have to deal with him. 
I flash stress so badly at this point, I forget I’ve got IO in my bag. She calls and I have a mini freak. No avoiding it, so I apply: P74; 1 x spray to the front of my throat @ approx 3:40pm. While I had my mini freak, I get into the “get it done” mode.
Self effect: I can do this, just get it done calmly. Without incident.
I meet up with him, after “Hi” nothing else is said. I book it (but don’t run) out of there.
He didn’t have it in him to be nice at that moment; but was civil - P74? I don’t have it in me to say anything - but no stress symptoms, either. I’m thinking that’s gotta be the P74.
Getting to Korteney’s place and the ride puts me in a better to good mood. Get to her place and her smiling face just makes my day. She seems to be in extra shiny mood - after a couple of minutes - P74? The conversation, while of semi serious subject matter in the first instance; is kept light and happy.
In the end, I have to tell her I need time to de-stress the mental association of her bf in my processing. She doesn’t understand, and wants to know what she can do. I explain that it’s nothing she can do, but I’ll get it under control - I just need a minute. Translated: it’s gonna take what it takes, just let me do it and it’ll get done as soon as I can re-process.
I nap on the bus, due to goods trains going to load at port, this nap is extra long. Feeling encouraged by my reaction to P74; and the extreme situation at my residence, I decide to apply:
**P74; 1 x spray to the front of my throat at approx 8.15pm.
Self effect: **Not sure if it’s the putative, the overall nice day I had or the nap; but after inhaling deeply and waiting for a minute - I feel ‘lighter’ and smile. Get in the front door, throw my stuff in my room and get coffee and ignore all the ruckus going on. No-one approaches me - good! Someone is moving in and the noise and destruction sounds don’t even register after acknowledging them.
So my conclusions on today are:
Helps others to relax a little and if the mood is good or up; helps them smile and willing to chat.
P74 seemed to smooth over the edges of a pre-panic situation. Helpful. Not smiling until the situation was behind me, but helpful in the way that if I breathed to clear my head and closed my eyes; I found what I needed to get through it.
With a couple of minutes to prepare for a situation, I can walk through it and not be anxious. Very helpful.
See who’s doing what with what and whom (not names, tho’ 
This will be my first step in my campaign to become Pharoah of the Universe. It’s my turn - I cleared those obstacles already and the IO will make me a kinder Pharoah and maybe I won’t have all the politicians put up against the wall . . . . Nah, the pollies still need to go in the New Universe Order.
