Well, believe it or not, today (New Year's Day) is my birthday. It's about the end of the day now at this writing (5 PM) and not much has happened. I'm pretty much alone. I had lunch and some time with one friend of mine. It was OK but I felt like he said some things to me that I didn't care to hear about myself. Apparently he does not understand me very well, especially with my depression. So far, that's been the highlight of my day.

Other than that a friend of mine (long distance) called me while I was out. I had to call him back. I was a little bit miffed that I had to call him because it costs money for long distance for me. We had a pretty good talk, but it did get depressing because the both of us were talking about our health issues.

There's another friend of mine that I don't see very often and we don't talk very often. He called me a couple of days ago, much to my surprise. I told him that my birthday is today. He said that he would like to get together with me. I really like getting together and talking to him more than the other friend that I have. Because this friend understands me more and we have things in common. But I have not heard from him. So I guess that's out. He is a very busy guy, though. But still it would have been nice to get together.

I guess this day is winding down and that's the way it will be. It's like on my birthday, "is that all there is" or is this as good as it gets?"
