Once more, into the breach...

I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again, I'm going to try and post more often on this blog. Not really for anyone else out there, more just for me. I feel the need once in a while to blow off some steam and I like looking back on these posts and seeing where I've been. I have wide and varying hobbies and interests, some of which I return to from time to time and other's that lie gathering dust in a corner of my mind, sometimes literally gathering dust in a corner of my home!

At least here, I can put those things on display and in the future I can come back, pick them up, dust them off and give them some attention. If anyone else finds these ramblings and you find them interesting, that's great too!

I think I'm crazy

It's January 29, 2019...I think I'm crazy.

Going back over this blog after realizing once again that it exists, I find myself wondering if I'm crazy. My wild rantings and wildly varying topics would seem to suggest that I am. Right now it's 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside and tomorrow we're supposed to be experiencing a "polar vortex" which will let us enjoy a high temperature of -8 degrees and a low of around -16. Hurray! The weather is as up and down as I am, which is not a good thing for the weather, or for me!

Lately, news about the planet Mars seems to have quieted down. Now it's all asteroids this and asteroids that in the news cycle. Speaking of news cycles...Donald Trump is our President! Did you know that? At least that's what they tell us, I don't believe it though, I think it's just #fakenews!

When I realize that this blog exists, I start wondering if I should just delete it, or start working on it again. I never seem to come to a satisfying conclusion as to what I should do. Usually, I just end up posting some sort of rambling diatribe that makes no sense. That way, sometime in the future I'll come across this blog, re-read it and realize once again just how crazy I am. See how I brought that right back around again?

Wow! I have a blog!

Totally forgot that I have a blog!

My last post was back in 2016! For the record, I'm writing this post on June 5, 2018. I don't really have anything to post, just thought what the heck, I found this thing, I should put something down on it. LOL. 

I didn't know it for a long time, or at least I managed to ignore the fact that I was suffering from depression for several years. In late 2017 I finally talked to my Dr. about it and started taking medication. It helped somewhat, but eventually, my Dr. had to double my dosage and I'm starting to see that there is a light somewhere down at the end of this tunnel. It's wild how depression takes hold of your entire life and doesn't let you see things as they really are. I could probably use therapy as well, but you do what you can and move on with life. I'm certainly not pretending that everything is hunky dory right now, it's not, but I'm starting to find joy in several things that quite frankly I haven't even thought about let alone worked on. 

If you even think that you're suffering from depression, talk to someone, anyone. Then talk to a professional and take their advice. If you're depressed, then you definitely don't need to listen to yourself...you're lying to yourself and you don't even know it!
