gracedpalmerBut I am only somewhat good.
Depression:
Starting to hit pretty hard, lightbox aside. I've had some extremly rough sunsets of late, but am chugging along. Pretty sure I am categorically better than I was last year, despite having the creative urge of a pile of damp cotton wadding. Spending a lot of time connecting with an old/new friend may be a mitigating factor - probably running high on new toy syndrome. Wrote an extra work-unit today, so that's heartening. I have definitely been comfort-eating, but I think that started earlier last year.
Competence:
One of the interesting (from the outside) things that happens to me when the depression is going is that I become far less competent. Witness today and yesterday's difficulty with printing, and the fabulous moment today where I somehow beveled a mat backwards. Nonetheless, tis done, and will be in the mail in short order - and only a little late. :/ I may restrict myself to really easy sewing projects for a while, because I am too incompetent for art.
Events:
Spent most of Thanksgiving week in Peoria, doing visiting and allowingsamadi to discharge the annual Parental Winter Visit. Had a very good time, but got back to discover that Ken had gotten clipped by a car crossing the street (he's ok!), which derailed things for a while. Did a ton of extra work yesterday to make up for the shortfall, and am now back on track. We shall have to hope it stays that way.
In General:
I'm still here, I'm not actually a slime mold yet, but expect me to be spotty for a while. I am going to be baaaad at initiating contact, for one. Hoping to sew lots of things.
Pistachio cake is good with sour cream on it.
Rats are still cute.
