Aha!
I think I know what has been making me so depressed! Now mind you, a "normal" person would be depressed over my medical situation, which is quite grim, actually, considering that I am more than morbidly obese and I have all these really bad diagnoses. However, that just isn't my nature. I've been through some of the worst situations imaginable and many of them before I turned 30 or 40 yrs old. I just normally take things in stride and don't experience depression -- a down day sometimes, yeah -- but not full blown depression.
When I was filling my weekly pill boxes (I have one for every day, with four slots per day) with my approximately 45 pills PER DAY, I happened to glance at the Provigil label. It said to tell your doctor if you experienced (among other things) DEPRESSION! I've been taking a half pill of it every day for weeks now, and I think that is indeed what is causing my depression! I have felt all along that it wasn't situational or even the weather, but medication or something. SO I am not taking that pill this week, even if narcolepsy hits me hard, to see if the depression abates. I don't have to contact the doctor just yet, as I can choose to stop taking it.
Today has been a very good day. The weather was beautiful, but too hot -- over 86 degrees last I looked. That is too near 90 for my tastes! We turned on the air when it got hot, and then Bear started to quilt a customer quilt and I cut out and created a book cover for an order. Only three more to go for this order, and then another one is waiting after that. I haven't sewn in quite awhile so it felt really good to do so. First, I had to get my sewing area straightened up as Alice (the "blonde" cat) has been making it her home. Hair everywhere (gag), and bits strewn about where she has knocked things around. One of the reasons that I haven't been going there is because I knew I'd have to contend with that mess. Now, it is dealt with. YAY!
One thing I did want to tell you all is that I have been working on a very involved project that takes a lot of time and energy. Because I want to take advantage of my Kindle, I am going through my books and listing them for sale on our store website ( Books and Stitches ), and making a list of the same books that I'll eventually want on Kindle (I've checked, and the ones I'm selling are available). I may, or may not, want to read all of the books on the list, but at least it will free up space in our quilting studio, where the bookshelves are located. I will eventually have many books listed. I do hope I can sell them, but the problem is that not many people know about the site. So , if you are a book lover, or you have friends that might be interested, please check out the store. I would really appreciate it. And by the way, all my books are in good condition.
I mentioned the other day that Bella was really cute one morning. Click on them to make them larger.
These are all of Bella, who loves to go under the covers to sleep, especially after Bear leaves in the morning. This particular morning, she went under, turned around and placed herself with her head out!
She cracked both Ellen and me up, as she turned on her back! What a cutie pie.
