AUGUST 1, 2013 (Thursday)

Today was a down day. I’m just not feeling it and I’m not sure if I’m depressed or just tired. I wanted Michael to get out and do something for the blog but he’s so faithful and didn’t want to leave me (other than an emergency ice cream run).

Like a heart transplant the emergency blizzard was rushed to the waiting patient and got there just in time!

Also, our new “home” is more cave like and only has one small window in the kitchen and one in the bedroom (but shades have to be closed) so maybe it’s that.

I do have a history of depression and have been on medication for years. About a year ago I challenged myself and went off all meds. I was doing great, no problems until this week. Maybe I am too far North! I’m hopeful I’ll be okay and up to venturing out again soon. I know doing things is also good for depression, but when you don’t even want to get dressed, it’s hard to do. I do know that I don’t like having the dark cloud around me, and I’m sure Michael is not enjoying my company lately.

Other than that, we updated our costs. It appears we are not going to hit our $2,500 target budget. We are really in the neighborhood of $3,000 a month for expenses. We’ll get out and do better tomorrow (hopefully).

Hope your day was great!
