mdlbear | Still somewhat out of it (Reply)

Still feeling vaguely depressed and out of it, in spite of a reasonably productive day.

Walked around the Rose Garden in the morning, and went out shopping in the afternoon. Two new Panasonic DECT handsets at Fry's: neither exactly matches our base unit and existing phones, but since they're compatible it doesn't matter. One's for Colleen's desk in the bedroom, and one for her chairside table in the Living Room. That one is white, which matches the table. Four bags of coffee at Barefoot: half for us, and half for the Wolfling to take up with her as gifts. A pair of 2-person emergency kits at Bed, Bath, and Beyond: they're probably a little cheaper this month, and I had thoughtfully provisioned my bag with 20%-off coupons because I knew that the store is next to Barefoot.

The air outside is foul with smoke. Worse this afternoon.

Not sure about the vague depression. It could just be related to the flower_cat's arthritis and muscle cramps -- having a wife apt to burst into tears from pain at odd moments isn't really conducive to happiness. Could be return to "normal" after the New Song Energy of Quiet Victories. Could be financial worries; that's always good for a nice spot of depression.

Could be the size of my to-do list, or something else that's unresolved. Damned if I know. I probably shouldn't worry about it too much; positive feedback (in the negative direction) is the last thing I need at this point. I seem to have it anyway. Bleah.
