Things will be really good in about two days when I'm on break. A little stressful at the moment. How are you?
I'm feeling ok at the moment. I'm still off work today, the last couple of weeks have been pretty awful headspace-wise. I just started taking antidepressants over the weekend. I think they're helping, but they left me feeling anxious for the first day or two. I'm starting to feel more even-keeled now.
Still, it could be worse. I've been looking over the time since I got back, and deciding that I've actually accomplished quite a lot. (This is important because day to day, the things I'm not getting to are more noticeable.) We had our housewarming on Saturday, which was fun. My dad and sister came down from Canberra, I got to catch up with some people. And of course we have huge quantities of deeply wrong food left around the place, so I doubt I'll be starving over the next week. Coming down with scurvy, OTOH, is a definite possibility.
Just remember that the anti-depressants take time to really work. I'm five weeks in now (about a week and a half at the full dose now), and I'm just starting to feel the effects.
Love to you, though.
Oh! And DebetEsse sent me the most excellent coaster! It's of the Penguin of Death: [link] It occupies pride of place on my coffee table.

Yeah, I was actually feeling ok the day before I started. But I figure it'll be a bit late if I wait until the next time I crash. Anyway, so far so good.
They were the best decision I've made recently.

When I first read this, I thought you were talking about dark chocolate M&Ms.
I have had the dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. The colors are very goth. I have also had antidepressants. They are both good things, in their places.
I'm guessing the M&Ms taste better
Beth, I am in your neck of the woods, or closer to it, since I am pausing in Aptos (for dinner and TAR) on my way up to Belmont to meet the movers tomorrow.
I have not had the dark chocolate M&Ms, or anti-depressants, though both have been under consideration at different times.
