Yay doggies, indeed.

Last night, I decided to go to bed early (10)and was happily tucked up until 2am, when I remembered that I have weekend cat duty for a friend.

My conscience would not allow me to go back to sleep, so Bartleby got dragged out of his cozy crate to walk me to the house of a cat who would happily flay him, given the appropriate tools and time.

Now, in truth, Bartleby would probably rather have a philosophical conversation with a potential mugger, but he does serve as a deterrent.

And can I just say, I love my neighborhood! At 2am, there were still cheerful people walking about...some a bit too loudly but, hey, happy drunks > muggers.

I am researching meds, and Zoloft is one of the ones I am considering, since it seems to work for depression WITH anxiety.

I will, of course, be advised my what my psych has to say, but well...I'm research girl! I'm hoping to also find an AD I can perhaps take in the evening, that will have a sedative effect, or at least NOT an upper effect.

-t, I'm so sorry for your loss. Dear God. All ~mas to you and your loved ones. {{{{{{{}}}}}}}

Actually, my anxiety is almost worse than my depression right now. I've been in a loop of low-to-moderate anxiety ALL day, EVERY day, for probably 6 weeks or so. And I know that on Zoloft, my anxiety is nil. That's pretty much what tipped my decision.

we had a little surprise party for Sean

Oh, good! Sean has good friends.

~ma to your FiL, Seska, and yay house!

Crying for -t. So terrible.

Hmm. That is good to hear, Steph. So far, that is the one I am most interested in discussing with my psych.

Yes, I am shocked and deeply saddened for -t. I can't fathom.

It's heartbreaking. I wish I were down there to support her right now.

So heartbreaking for -t. It's just unbelievable.

Oh god, -t. I just saw. I am so terribly sorry.

I just read Beep Me - there are really no words. -t, I am so, so sorry.
