As always, I'm on the spot with advice, whatever it may be worth.
Yoga: you might try taking a page from cherydactyl and try to get Delia to do yoga with you.
Decluttering: I wonder whether you might be able to get Delia onboard by making the culling of her books an act of charity; little kids can be surprisingly generous when they get an understanding of how many people have little or nothing. I don't suppose there's any sort of charity she could donate her books to around here where they'd go to other kids?
Find a psychiatrist: I suspect that there have to be practitioners in the Ann Arbor area who prefer to avoid prescribing medication. In any case, you could probably make a go with most therapists if you are explicit in your first meeting about the importance of keeping your existing equilibrium.
Plan meals: I can second the freezing idea. Mary's got a whole grains cookbook where that's a central element, since most cooked grains freeze well.
Try one book that I never thought I would read: I could lend you the Capitalist Manifesto, by one of the leading figures in employee ownership. He's simultaneously an elegant political thinker and a crank economist, but on the whole it's pretty cool, and it's a relatively fast read.
