Still alive

November 28th, 2008 Jerry Leave a comment Go to comments

Nearly three months since my last post, the day after Thanksgiving and I feel an urge to type…

So… What’s going on?

I’d love to say that things are going along swimmingly, but I really can’t. Too much work, too little money, not really happy with the direction of my life right now.

Haven’t knitted a stitch since my last post, but doing a lot of reading and just trying to keep my mind busy in my limited free time. Work has become more than I expected when I started. What I expected to be just part-time has expanded to nearly full-time with the addition of being promoted to shift supervisor. Now when customers have complaints, I get to go out front for an earful.

Still riding a roller coaster as far as depression is concerned. Good days and bad days, though the bad days don’t seem so often and *usually* not so low. Today is a good one. Nice dinner yesterday afternoon with friends and work tonight, though it’s probably going to be a dead evening.

    So good to see you, even if it was only for a second as you streaked through the room.

    Come back again soon.

    Good to “see” you again. Gorgeous photo. What are you reading? I’m currently reading Frances Mayles’ “A Year in the World” and it’s bringing back memories of trips I’ve made to some of the same spots.

    Jerry:

    I’m glad that you decided to post again(I’ve been checking your blog for weeks now). I just wanted to wish you well and hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

    Treat yourself to a simple knitting project (a scarf in colors you love, maybe?) and knit it up in an enjoyable stitch. Don’t forget how therapeutic knitting can be. Take care and be blessed. :grin:

    It’s good to hear from you. The photo is wonderful. I hope you have more good days and less low (been there).

    You have folks out here who care. Thanks for saying hello.

    Yay! He’s back! Even if only for a moment.
    You are always missed when you are gone.

    You shouldn’t be depressed; you are not the only one in this situation. You just have to look at the bright side and hope that everything will get better in the future. How can you be sad if you look at that beautiful picture? Try listing to a song or looking at the sky and it will always cheer you up. Don’t worry, be happy!
