The Last Few Months

The last few months have been challenging and maddening. I’m only having a few days a week where my depression is manageable, and some of my OCD tics are starting to reappear. It is frustrating, and I often feel defeated…

This is the time of the year when my seasonal affective disorder eases, last year, I fell into an eleven month long major depressive episode. Again, this is very frustrating, and infuriating when my brain won’t cooperate…

I try to keep it all together, and power through to the next day, but I’m just so very tired…

 

Could Have Slept In

The kids are out of school today, and I could have slept in. I ended up being wide awake at 4:00 a.m., ugh. I’ve been washing laundry, and scheduling haircuts for the boys. We’ve been out to get donuts, and a run few other errands too. Agnes has a youth choir music program this evening, and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate. I’m so tired this afternoon, I’m about to fall asleep at my keyboard. Time to grab a cup of green tea, and see if it helps.

 

 

 

Hello October

The weather has finally turned a bit cooler, and my seasonal affective disorder is easing up a little bit. September was one of the very busiest months, and I’m pleased that October is starting off at a bit of a slower pace.

This week I started tackling the upstairs hallway. The hallway had become a cluttered catch-all over the Summer, and there was never a good time to get to the task. I set my goal for the week of decluttering three contractor bags out of the house. So far I’ve filled two from the upstairs hallway, and it’s only Tuesday.

I’ve been doing a bit better keeping up around the house as well. I finally have a bit of energy back, and I’m tackling lots of odd neglected chores.

I wish I had something more exciting to report from my little neck of the woods, but it is nice having a few slow days too.
