@Jennifer 1967...I hope you feel better soon. Even when things go poorly for you, you seem to keep your chin up somehow & be so supportive of others. I've always admired that about you. You seem too be having difficulty taking care of your needs these days. I'm so sorry. I hope things turn around for you soon.

@Nammu...(In a hypnotist's voice) "Look deep into my eyes...you are getting sleepy...so very sleepy!" If only it was that easy, huh? I hope you get a few more halfway decent nights of sleep soon.

My depression has lessened a bit, but things are going to get stressful Monday. My girlfriend is having full knee replacement surgery Monday morning, & she'll have trouble getting around for at least a month. I'll be responsible for taking care of her & everything around the house. At the forefront of my mind, however, is her health & safety. I hope surgery goes well...On top of that, our kitchen remodel won't be done soon. The counters won't be in until mid-September, & I can't cook for shite to begin with. My girlfriend generally does the cooking around these parts.
