At some point in my wanderings the last couple days I saw an article about depression actually increasing this time of year. Now I can't find it- I wanted to link to it.. heck it might have been HERE! Anyway I just skimmed it and thought... wow.. I just wrote about that. Well -- I'm somewhat normal in my abnormality And to think, I've always been rather fond of my oddities.

Another decent night of sleep last night.. 7 1/2 hours about. I'm still kind of... "I can't take it anymore.." at work here and there.. but for the most part I've been able to distract myself.. it's essential I force myself out of the bed and into the world ... but it's soooo hard.  Next week I have to... get my bridge put in (dental) get carpal tunnel surgery and get the darn Mammogram... how did that happen to get scheduled all at once? Oh well the CTS was supposed to be this week but I had to put it off.. I was too bad off.. and I didn't want to be in that state of mind and being put under... 

I saw this work at an etsy shop along with another work andI loved it.. it just jumped out at me and made me feel good. I couldn't buy it this week but the lovely artist has agreed to reserve it for me until next week. This is silly but it is very hard for me to ask people for anything ... even something like "I guarantee I will buy it if you reserve it for me" seems like a lot to ask... but people are constantly reminding me how rarely they are actually mean...:)

Anyway I'll be paying for it on Tuesday and hopefully within the next couple weeks I'll have it hanging up as a reminder of that little message and to make me feel good. I think I'll hang it right here in the living room near the computer desk the colors are right and it's where I spend a good chunk of time every day :)
