neighbor revenge and other things
my neighbors on one side played loud music all day, and not good music in my opinion. so i got revenge tonight. while they were not playing music i put a musical in my dvd player and turned it up. hehe. take that. it was sweeny todd.
which brings me to another thing. i have this very silly therapist right now (i would change if i thought there was anyone better in this tiny town) who asks me to do lots of things to combat my depression. i'm willing to give some of it a try, but some things if she had paid any attention to who i was and how i act she would know better than to suggest. she suggested i attend church. i am atheist and made that fairly clear at an earlier session. she suggested i volunteer with hospice; why would you suggest a depressed person hang around dying people? there are some things that i am willing to try. though she didn't suggest it, i might try and volunteer at the animal shelter when i return from vietnam. she suggested i create a box with things that make me feel better in it; things that appeal to the 5 senses. i already have things around the house that work for that. i have my book of rumi's poetry that always makes me feel a bit better. i have sandalwood, vanilla, and patchouli incense that reminds me of certain friends i am always happy with. i have 2 dvds that always seem to make me feel better: A&E's pride and prejudice, and sweeny todd (though the fact that one makes me feel better marks me as kind of morbid). and there is always ralphie or a stuffed animal to hug. ralphie's fur feels as soft as rabbit fur, everyone who pets him mentions this.
dd may come visit me from lexington on monday or tuesday before i leave for vietnam. i really hope he does come. it's been almost 2 months since we have seen each other. i enjoy talking and listening to him. i am glad we rekindled our friendship back in the spring.
