I didn't notice the zombies

I didn't notice the zombies, but they appear to have snuck in and eaten my brain anyway. Or maybe it was little fuzzy telepaths.

I looked up my recent mood shift: I appear to have been mostly happy between September 24th and October 17th. For some reason it seems like much longer ago.

Things still aren't getting done -- realized this morning that I hadn't even put "splitting up concert recordings from Conflikt" on my to.do list. It really ought to get done before the next practice session, which is next weekend! That and splitting the last practice session, which was a month ago. And OVFF. And...

I've had some breakfast. I'll try going out for a walk soon, if it hasn't started raining. I don't think that will help get stuff done, but it might help a little with my mood. Maybe.

I've been awake since about 5am. Some good snuggle, but Colleen's back asleep now. Feeling lonely and discouraged and bored and restless. Yeah, I know -- all symptoms of depression. The happy pills can kick in any damned time now. And cold; I can fix that. Except I want to go out for a walk. Where it's even colder.

you made a filk joke and I got it.

my day just improved by a measure of a hundred. I wish I could help yours.

You did. Brightening someone's day always brightens mine as well.

Funny how that works.

If it's too cold to go for a walk outdoors, how about going to an enclosed mall and walking around for a while? And as an extra benefit, you can feel virtuous about all the things you saw that you wanted to buy, but didn't.

(Seriously, I hate exercise in any form. The only way I can do any significant walking is in a shopping mall or a large store. Alas, without a car to get to the mall, I haven't done any walking in far too long.)

I love to walk, but unless all the stores are closed I can't actually walk in a mall. Too much waiting for people to get out of the way. And walking in the hour or so before the stores open requires advance planning and timing.

I hate to walk, or do anything else even vaguely resembling exercise. And if I tried to participate in the sport of "mall walking" (without all those pesky shoppers), I'd probably fall over before I got half a mile. But I can walk from one store to another and then stand still looking at stuff, head for the food court and sit down with something to drink, wander slowly from place to place - that's about the closest to "exercise" I'm ever going to get. IF I ever get a car again.

Walking doesn't feel like exercise to me - it's what I did as a kid to get out of the house and away from people. It's still what I do to get away from people and spend some time by myself; the exercise is just a nice side-effect.

Why should I ever have wanted to go outside, where it's cold/hot/sunny/wet/humid/buggy, and there were other kids who would find me and pick on me, when I could stay indoors and read a book?
