DEPRESSION

Chicagoland experienced the first major snowfall last weekend and the days are shorter.

So....depression is setting in!

I have my light box and I am determined to keep busy.

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Nothing amiss with that!

ANGER

I have a marked tendency towards anger.

Especially when an adult makes what I'm sure is meant to be a "cute comment." I have a tendency to overreact due to my childhood background.

I was teased, ridiculed, rejected by my peers from approximately age eight until seventeen.

I can remember incidents of ridicule directed at me when I was sixteen. I can remember because the summer of 1982 I went on a Europe school group trip and I remember most of the experience.

Not sure if that occurred during my subsequent senior year of high school. Rejection certainly. Active ridicule I'm not sure. And I don't know if it's worth "going back into the brain" to try and remember.

To be continued....

MY BIRTHDAY HAS COME AND GONE...

...So could someone please let me know HOW THE HELL I GOT TO BE FIFTY YEARS OLD!?

IT'S SEP 11!

Big anniversary of big chaos.

So it goes...as said Kurt Vonnegut.

AUGUST AUGUST

Late summer.

But I don't have to worry about that lousy back to school stuff!

Again..I am trying to keep depression at bay!

Summer is no guarantee apparently.

I may need to go on meds again.

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER!

It's summer!

Growing tomatoes and trying to love life!
