I'm getting some small signs that my mood is improving. I've been neglecting my physical health all Winter. It was the second of three sunny dry early Spring days today and i took some steps toward life: i had some fruit and veg and bought some protein drink. There is rain in the forecast so it probably will stall but i am happy to have had a decent stretch of wellness. I also did a load of laundry, at last. I went in my ZOOM social hour and while it was nice to see everyone and say hello the chatter did not really interest me and i left early after saying goodbye and thanks. I enjoyed the foodcourt at the mall and look forward to it again tomorrow.

Early in the day i cried because of how helpless i feel. But the activities helped fight it off and i think i can cope with a simple life. It's true that i'm not a particularly powerful person, not super competent or well-informed. But it takes all kinds to make the world go round. If things get neglected from time to time, it's too bad but it's not a crime against humanity.

I once saw a guy on the news who ate nothing but Kraft Dinner and his doctor said he was perfectly healthy.

Sorry to hear about your toothache and the steep bill you're facing on top of your other hardships. Just wish you could catch a break...
