The Doldrums
Using my purse brick (smartphone) to send a text, or jot down a reminder, or post to my blog...brings up the joy and frustration of auto-correct. What it brings to light most consistently and clearly to me is that I use a good number of antiquated words (including the word, antiquated). And some, I think communicate very clearly to their intended recipient, so I have no plan to ditch the use of words like, bamboozled, no matter how hard that is for auto-correct to understand.

It puzzles me some to see my website note for me that it has been nearly a week since my last blog post, even though I would've bet money that it had only been a day or two. The fact that I wrote down post-like writing in the past two days accounts for it, but it does so bamboozle me to not have a correct accounting in my head. This is als a lesson for me to remember in relation to keeping tabs on my checking balance.

I have told myself that I am making sandwiches for my family for dinner -- sandwiches and fast food keep being the main means of survival in the sudden heat of Summer and my current week of doldrums. I am not trying to minimize the impact that I know chronic depression has on my family. But as I am clearly experiencing some depression now myself, I really am able to comprehend the the lack of functioning that I have only previously and stubbornly been an outside witness to. I really hope to move past this to make all the best strides I can in supporting them. All the more clear that I need to take care of myself.
