'Out Of Gas'
[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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Mom's working.
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.
We had chili for dinner tonight, which was delicious! I wish I could have more than one bowl.

Haaaa.
So, it's like the magical Buffista incantation, once you bitch about it on the board, it resolves itself! Probably within 15 minutes of posting my sad post, I got a call from a friend who I really like, who invited us up to her and her fiance's place for a gathering. It was super low key and Tom had a great time (though he'll be freaking out about it tomorrow, like the social anxiety DTs.) I also had a great time, but that's an easier feat for me than Tom. I just love it when he's relaxed and being himself around other people.
I had offered to be the DD so that he could use beer as a social lubricant.
Man, I am so glad we went out - got out of the city (went to the Northshore) and ate great food (the fiance is a chef) and it was just so much fun.
As you may have gathered from my post, I really needed something like that! Thanks for listening and reassuring.
