Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Typical Sunday here. Skype with my folks, get lunch and groceries while my MIL watches/plays with Mr. S. Everyone except me is now heading to the pool.(I'm not sure I have a swimsuit that fits, plus not sure what chlorinated water would do to the color in my hair.)

Punishingly Intricate

Just realized that Fitbit has figured out how to track cycling! That's exciting.

Yeah, teeth are pretty dumb. At least I have a good dentist. Man, I hope they are open tomorrow. It's not stupid painful (yet) just annoying.

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.

Spinach lentil soup is a lovesome thing, but very much not the same as monkey bread. glad the migraine didn't linger, meara.

sarameg, good luck with the dentist.

Sheryl, I hope you enjoy a bit of time to yourself. Swimming is fun, but so is peace and quiet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I slept until 3. After a day of mostly doing nothing I think it is time to accept to completely staying in bed for a full day every week or two is just how I am dealing with low level depression. The effort of doing what is needed every other day, occasionally going above the bare minimum, and then the fact that I rarely look forward to anything in my life just builds until there is a day I can tell myself I do not need to get up and I don't. If I allowed myself to do it more than one day I am sure I would shame spiral. And this is not full depression because if it was, I would not be able to get up, none of this pushing myself through it nonsense that simply does not work with clinical depression.

There's my navel gazing for the day. I am going to check showtimes and take myself to finally see Wonder Woman today even though mac won't go with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a reasonable thing to accept, msbelle. And seeing Wonder Woman is an excellent thing to do!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sorry, msbelle. I feel like I can only really pay attention to about 30% of what's happening at any given time. Any more, and I'd just want to lock myself in my room and not come out. And my life, apart from the occasional back surgery, is pretty free from actual responsibility.

No need to apologize Dana.

Thank god my life is actually pretty easy right now. Mac is fairly self-reliant (not actually traveling and he will still not cook real food, but he can be left alone).

I'll continue to make small changes and see how I can make myself happier. Right? I mean it's on me to figure it out and not expect it to be outside forces that change my mood/outlook. That's the only way it will last.
