Happy anniversary, Bev and Bev's DH!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Fourth of July always leaves me a little cold (metaphorically speaking.) It's hot, and there's expectation of celebration, which always paralyzes me (see also: New Years Eve and St. Patrick's Day.) And I wonder if my introversion has pushed away my friends, b/c we don't have a big family/friend BBQ thing to participate in/celebrate. I just feel depressed and lonely and like a loser.
Went to Tom's therapist the other night (with Tom) and I realized that my depression is spiraling these last couple of months. I hate this feeling of hopelessness. So we talked a little bit about how all we do is watch TV while on laptops so I feel guilty that, so far, that's all we've done today.
In conclusion, I hate the 4th of July and I suck.

You do not suck. There are many people who would aspire to being a professional beer person. I know how hard it is to carve a writing niche like that, and you are my hero.
Do you have your own therapist to deal with depression?
The Fourth is my favorite holiday, because there's no expectation of doing family stuff, driving to family or cooking an entire roast beast. It's Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter that I loathe.

I do. I should go back to her. It's been about 2 years since I last saw her.

Heh, I guess maybe I like having a roadmap of what to do? These days, we don't do any of that with family so it's low key and generally involves cooking and eating yummy food, which are things I like doing.

Ginger is right, Nora. You do NOT suck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So we talked a little bit about how all we do is watch TV while on laptops so I feel guilty that, so far, that's all we've done today.
But that's the best! I love doing that. It's my plan for the rest of the day.
Just looking at your FB and Twitter feed, it sure seems like you go out and do lots of stuff, Nora. I know my perception isn't necessarily your reality, but you are not a loser.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Swap M playing Dragon Age: Inquisition for watching TV (I have been on my laptop & tablet since I got up), and you have us. So not a loser, Nora.

Thrive to spite them
So there are people who are working on a shed who , I swear, have been building this thing since last year. BE DONE I'm tried of lisening to saws and hammers. And there's some kind explosion thing that keeps going off. I thought it was illegal fireworks but I'm not sure.
Plus I had caffene and I shouldn't have so now I'm taking klonopin.
I'm also in...well not what I slept in but a night gown and a robe. This is as dressed as I'm going to get. The day has sort of slipped away from me and I'm not sure how that happened but right now I don't have enough energy to care.
Nora, I think it's good you realize that your depression is spiraling and that you need to make changes but it's 4th of July and you don't like it, so be kind to yourself and practice self care. Planning to call the therapist is a good idea.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Nora, you most definitely do not suck.
We spent the 4th spending money, which seems patriotic enough for me. Mostly trying to get things ready for ltc. We bought curtains for her room as well as a changing pad for her dresser, a foam pad for the mattress in the spare bedroom, and then food shopping for us and some food items for a birthday gift for my grandfather. Papa is impossible to shop for, but he should like the anchovy, the really good Italian tuna in olive oil, and the stack of scratch tickets we got him.
