Good day
Vast thanks to all the people that replied to the Ennui post a few days ago. I really needed the help/advice and it was cheering to see so many people offering useful tips/pointers.
It helped me a vast amount just to get all of that out - a combination of things that I've been thinking about for years, although the conclusions were ones I came to 3 or 4 years ago, it was still good to get it out of my head and down on paper.
Anyway, today is a good day. I feel happy, alive and together. There is a reason for this. The reason is that I have had a good night's sleep. Well, actually, no, I've had a better night's sleep than usual. I was asleep from 11-30 until Erin came to bed, then spent 15 minutes cheering her up before falling asleep again until 8. I haven't have enough sleep, but I've had sufficient that I don't feel drab and depressed.
Erin's new job offer came through this morning, and she'll be working 7-3 Monday - Thursday. This means that she'll be up at 5:30 I suspect, so she'll be going to bed by 10pm, latest. This means that I should be able to follow her to bed shortly thereafter and get a decent nights sleep.
I have, however, promised people that if I don't stop feeling depressed within the next couple of weeks, I'll go and see a doctor. I'm fairly sure that I don't fall into the depressed range, but it doesn't cost anything to make sure, and an independent opinion can't hurt.

Don't get me wrong with this next steatment, I do belive that they are helpful, but..
if you takle it that far at all, don't accept the pills, seek the talky route if at all posible.. I don't know if you got med cover with your job, but if they have recognised it enough to warent a persciption, it also warents a few appointments with a head doctor..
one on one is better in my opinion. epecially someione with your cognative thinking..

I think I'll keep one eye on Ducker-man while at work, just in case.

Just for the hell of it.
Oh, and you still owe me a comment on the Ennui story...

I haven't forgotten the Ennui - honest. I only went on my PC long enough to set up downloads from poInt last night, and then long enough this morning to be blasted by him. :+{ I'll try and get round to it tonight. I'd do it in work, but it requires thought!
