Done last week (20140223 Su - 28 Fr)

Well, ... not much done. Colleen thinks my recent depression is due to proximity to Dad's death-day -- but that was most of a month ago (Feb. 5 -- I always have to look it up). SAD may be a factor, too, but the days have been getting longer. So... damned if I know. I suspect my current antidepressant may be losing its effectiveness. Faster than the last one.

I've been busy at work, but nothing to write about.

So... yeah. Links, as usual, mostly from last Sunday.

0223 Su
  * up 9ish; W=207.8; d, n
  @ 100 Year Starship (acelightning: 
     Not only millionaires and astronauts can go to the stars...) - interesting.
  @ Words From a Father to His Daughter (From the Makeup Aisle) f(Alan Ralph)
  @ What Little Girls Wish Daddies Knew | Tara Hedman Counseling
  @ 10 Ways to Show Love to Someone With Depression | The Darling Bakers
    Not particularly helpful.

0224 Mo
  * up 6:30; W=207.8; d, n
  * reasonably productive day at work.
  % 10:15pm and horribly sleepy.  Do. Not. Like.
    ! probably connected with depression/dysthymia.  I don't think my current
      andidepressant is holding up as well as the last one.

0225 Tu
  * up 6:15; W=209.2; d, n
  * ordered some Coexist bumper stickers from Peacemonger. 

0226 We
  & awake 5:45ish; cuddle
  * up 6:30; W=208.2; d, n
  % it seems I do such a good job of wiping dishes that I've been taking them out of the
    dishwasher for two days without noticing that it hadn't been run.  :P

0227 Th
  * up 6:30; W=207.6; d, n
  % The little ozone generator I got at the home show seems to be having a good effect on
    my nasal congestion -- I can sometimes skip neti.  Or maybe it's just coincidence.
  : YD ran the dishwasher a second time today because she couldn't tell whether it had
    been run.  Not just me, I guess.
  % Colleen thinks the depression is because of Dad; that may be contributing, but I don't
    think it's the main thing.

0228 Fr
  % dream:  with Colleen on her scooter, in a variety of frustrating and crowded places
  * up 6:33; W=207.2; d, n
  * lunch from Whole Paycheck's hot bar
  " Kitties, computers, and bears, Oh My! "
  * pay bills - there were some overdue ones lurking out of order :P
  % my left elbow is hurting

February sucked for me long before my mom died on Feb 4.

I hope your meds still work.

Going from here, on slight evidence, I wonder whether you aren't just tired. Yoou've gone through a lot lately.

Best to you, niceling!

"Niceling" ! I like it.

You may be partly right about the tired, though I expect it's just reinforcing an existing tendency. And of course it's also possible that drugs aren't very effective against chronic, minor depression.

Well, any which way, I hope you're being gentle to yourself.
