My cat had surgery today to remove a tumor. I'll find out soon whether it's cancer. My cat is about 18 years old and has had a good life I think. We'll see how it goes.

My mood is persistently low. I know only I can find happiness but it's a tough search.

I'm distracting myself by doing research for another book I'm thinking of writing and staying busy at home and work but the low mood has a way of finding it's way into everything.
