The Week in Review
May. 28th, 2011 03:03 pmFirst off, no damage from the storms. By the time it got over into my part of the area the intensity of the storm on Tuesday was muted, so I didn't have any hail damage.
I've done a lot of reading this week, catching up on both audio books and some files on the server. This includes some reading I've been working on for a while, like E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensmen series. I'm really starting wo work through some books that have been sitting around on the server for a while.
On Wednesday I read a couple of Spider Robinson's works in his Calahan's Crosstime Saloon universe, and I did something I haven't done for a while now -- I laughed. It was refreshing, and a sign that the depression is finally lifting.
No music group on Thursday, and I didn't make it to the Stan Ridgeway concert at Poor David's Pub either, which was a drag because I really wanted to catch that.
I'm doing a bit better. I really think the depression is starting to lift. Of course, I'm not even beginning to consider getting involved with anyone for a long time -- I have to shuck the aftereffects of what happened to me in my last relationship, and even if I was interested in dating someone else ever again at this point it wouldn't be fair to them, as they don't deserve being put through the emotional wreck that I am now and the psychological minefield that I inhabit.
My journal here has been about this situation for almost two months now, and I feel like it will start moving away from that now, as it's no longer occupying so much of my headspace anymore. I'm starting to get things working again in my life, so I'm hoping I can start to move forward again. I have someone to clean the house on a biweekly basis again, hopefully soon I'll meet with my DBS counselor to get my business plan moving forward once more, and I hope to get in contact with my doctor next week to start the process on several referrals and in finding out what I managed to hurt in my back. I'm going to be alright, and I'm no longer hoping that I get into an accident or contract a fatal medical condition.
I want to thank all of you who have put up with my venting, emoting, and exhortations of pain. Friends are how you survive things like this.
