Lately, I've been feeling okay. Last night I listened to a couple of songs I first heard when I was a teenager and first experiencing severe depression, and listening those songs recalled painful memories of love and loss. This momentarily sent me spiraling down again, to the point of tears. However, I recovered from that fairly quickly.

I'm still working steadily, and doing well at work. The exercise machine I ordered arrived; it took me a few days to assemble it, and since then I've used it for two consecutive days. I'm really out of shape, and I hope this will help me improve my overall physical fitness without having to join a gym. I renewed my passport so I can visit the United States later this year. My writing has been going poorly and I'm really down about that. The 'relationship' I've been cultivating with this woman online has me feeling well, though. We continue to make plans to meet up later this year, potentially as early as June. That might be the earliest time we can both get a week off at the same time.
