6/4: knowing what to try

Trouble at work continues (though the "at" is metaphorical since I'm working at a distance), and a fresh wave of trouble came this afternoon.  Although I was shaken by it, I knew what techniques to try to rebalance myself:  talking with Chris, taking a walk, brainstorming a concrete response, watching diverting TV shows with Chris, watching comforting TV shows on my own, starting a book that I know is going to have a good ending.
