Is it seasonal affective disorder if...
Posted Jan 18, 2011
you've mainly had sunny skies, and are still depressed? Feeling motivation in the negative numbers. Thank Bob that immortality is impossible 'coz I don't think I can take another decade or two of this.

Anxiety blues...
Posted Dec 8, 2010
Here it is a lovely sunny winters day, and I'm feeling anxious.
First it was anxiety over the events which all seemed to pile atop each other, then anxiety over the ever changing schedule for the house tenting, (which meant I had to pack up my cats and myself, pack us off to another abode for 3 days, *and* pack up all the food in the house so it didn't get fumigated). At last, that's all over now.
Current anxiety is the visit this week of the friend who took me in for two years, so I wouldn't be living in the street. She's coming to our non-profit group's annual Christmas party (and to visit her best friend). Since I'm still on the board, I'll be there, but I have no idea what to expect. Over the past year, I've emailed her, and left messages on her phone, and she's only answered two of them in the past 14 months -- the last to state that "it's too bad we're so different." I feel SO MUCH gratitude for her generosity, but it makes me feel awful that we no longer seem to be friends. It dosen't look as if "I'm so sorry" and "I'm so grateful" will *ever* be enough -- because it hasn't helped so far.
I'm hoping all this anxiety I'm feeling over my life is just a phase, and not a permanent condition -- because I've got enough on my plate, thanks.

'Tis the Season...
Posted Dec 5, 2010
I used to look forward to. Now, Thanksgiving is my favorite 'big' holiday -- I know I'll have someone to spend it with. Xmas, not so much. I always hope my friends will have a wonderful Xmas -- it seems only fair, since I have had so many in my life. 
This year, I'm giving some lucky friends a hand drawn coupon for a free week of house or dog or cat sitting. I think that's a pretty good gift, and it makes me happy to do it.

Falling down
Posted Nov 8, 2010
I've been dealing with severe dizziness for the past month, and quite alarmed by it. Today was the first time I actually fainted from it -- and in public, while alone.
I had just had breakfast, left the cafe and started walking down the block, to meet my friends, when the dizziness struck. I grabbed onto a retaining wall, and the next thing I knew I was on the ground, with a couple of teen girls trying to help me up! The good news is that I think I've figured out what's causing it. Fortunately, I was only out less than a minute. I shudder to think if it had happened while crossing the street. Going to the doc tomorrow...

is still here. My power went out today, for 4 hours. When I called the Electric company, they said, "Why, yes, there is an outage, and here's the borders of it." Seems that I'm located about a mile north of the northernmost boundry of the blown transformers.
