Thank you, MissCath --

When I had my job, it wasn't so bad. I kept getting depressed, but I kept getting better. Up and down and up and down. At least there were up times, and they kept coming around. Now they are few and far between. And the downs are awful down.

I am either alone, or with my elderly significant other. He was grumpy even when he was relatively young, but now he gets so annoyed with me so often. I know I am not the pleasantest company for him, either. I am his caretaker, when he needs that, which isn't every day, so I can get away from him. At times, it's a comfort to be near him. Other times, it isn't.
