I have these days, usually when the weather's bad and the sun's not there, when I just have a hard time functioning.  Although having all the space I get from not having to work helps with my stress level, at times like this it can be a mixed blessing because i have nothing to force me out of the house (and my funk) some days.  This was one of them ( Read more... )

...I haven't updated in a long time.

This is very true. I needed a push to get my off my ass and do what I should have been doing - keeping touch with my friends. I've kind of gotten sucked into Facebook, and that instant gratification fooled me into thinking I was communicating. Don't get me wrong - I was, but it wasn't the same as sitting ( Read more... )
