kallistiiWell, I have been doing a lot better lately.
A few things have contributed to that. First was my visit to Montreal to see Cait...it was a very good conversation that has been resonating with me for a while.
Next, I downloaded the audio book Delivered From Distraction, the latest book on Attention Deficit Disorder, and listening to it has given me new hope that I can actually make something of myself...I just need to do a few things, like get/check a diagnosis of ADD, and with that, there is a range of things that can be done. I was actually inspired to take a walk today, since it is a wonderful sunny day, and listened to the book.
Another thing that has helped is reading Tori Amos's Piece by Piece. Wow. So many insights, and lots of good advice! WOW!
I have confirmed that the final, parting gift I gave to myself before leaving North Carolina, an AMD64 system to replace the Athlon that died, the motherboard is sick. The Kind People who sold it to me have offered to refund my money, all I have to do is return the board to them. So I picked up a replacement, as the Friar is going to be up this weekend, and I can have him return it to them next week. I installed the replacement, and it works fine! Not only that, it seems that I erred in pronouncing the cable to my room dead...it turns out that the ethernet hub I have is dead. I now have enough egg on my face to make a dozen omlettes!
And the final thing that hit me was that I had relapsed back into depression. But being aware of that now makes it easier to deal with, and I have had a distinct improvement in my mood today. Listening to that audio book really helped, as it keeps on reminding me that I *do* have a problem I can't fix by myself, and I need to figure out how to do something about that.
So, it's a matter of just starting to get the ball rolling. Which I am doing right now, by reminding myself with this post that I can get things done, and it's not all my fault.
