I'm glad you are feeling a bit better. Don't rush it, though, take the extra sessions this coming week.
I can really relate to organizing things in an attmept to make my out-of-control world seem more in control. I'm not as practical as you are, though. I have a toy called Zome (www.zometool.com) - it is a construction toy, a la Legos, but with rods and spherical connectors. You can make all sorts of geometric shapes with it, but I like to use it freeform. Because of the lengths of the rods and angles in the connectors there are certain mathematical relationships that make it so that some things just "work" (like you can make a parallelagram out of blue rods, or a triangle with one red, one blue, one yellow). So I put it together fairly randomly and derive comfort from knowing that if I keep looking that certain connections will "just fit". Thus, I prove to myself (over and over) that there is order in the world.
It would be of more lasting value if I cleaned my closet, or deleted my old email... Maybe some time in the future...
