My life is not that exciting lately. I feel like I've been working around the clock. The strangest part is living with someone again. B has a very different schedule than I do....she's early to bed, early to rise. She's in bed around 8 or 8:30 and is up at 6 a.m. I'm generally heading to bed around 11 and up around 7:30.
She's also more tidy than I am, generally. This is a good thing for me, as I'm forced to keep pace.
I'm pretty sure that the antidepressants are working. The side-effects have significantly lessened (or gone away). I noticed yesterday that some pretty significant things which would have really overwhelmed me even just a week or two ago, I was able to let go of better. And this a.m., I found myself smiling as I drove to work...not because I was going to work, mind, but because my commute is so blessedly short (I wouldn't have driven, even, but I want to go straight to the other apartment after work to get some cleaning started).
It seems a little strange to "be on an even keel" after feeling down for such awhile. But I'm pretty sure I can get used to it!
So my DSL should be up and running in 2 to 4 weeks, apparently. I'm not sure why it takes that long, but there it is. Until then, there will be sporadic postings only when I get the chance.
Have a good Wednesday all!

I"m so glad to hear that you're feeling more even-keeled and that the anti-depressants seem to be working and the side effects seem to be leveling out -- woo-hoo! Be gentle with yourself these days -- you're going through a lot of major transitions and upheaval, which is a challenge under the best of circumstances!
It's minus 15 degrees in Anchorage today ... the good news is that we've gotten about a foot and a half of snow in the last week or so. Now if only it would warm up, maybe I could play outside! Monday should be "hardware removal" day, so we're hoping for more mobility soon for my hockey-playing partner! be well, dear ... big hugs!
I think my word verification today is saying something about my dog's breath, but I'm not quite sure what (except that it might be related to the garbage he's been eating...): dguwfbrf.
I agree with AK - be easy on yourself even while you're starting to feel better. Moving can take a lot out of you not to mention working two jobs. Always good to hear about you smiling though :) Hope things keep getting better and better and before you know it you'll be flying across the pond ;)
I am so glad you're feeling better. Depression is horrible. I know because thats what I have been lately. You have made my day. I like good news.
Glad things are rolling right along. Keep it going!!
I'm so happy for you Spins! May you find yourself smiling often. :0)
