It might be the beginning of the end...
That is to say, the end of this bout of depression. When I can start looking up and around myself again. Stress has been too much, which made The Depression more acute. But I've had a few days here lately where I'm not completely overwhelmed, and have gotten some things done. You have probably heard me say that my house is a complete reflection of my state of mind. The messier my emotional state, the messier my house. I've had the courage to do some cleaning. The family room is dusted and vacuumed. Hope springs eternal.
I'm completely ensnared by the new Dr. Who (new, like, the series now in its fifth season that I just started watching). I'm about caught up, just have a few episodes of Season 4 to watch. I've fallen in love with David Tennant, and found a BBC miniseries that he was in a couple years ago called Blackpool. I think of all my friends, CJ might appreciate it the most. See if you can score a copy - the DVD isn't out in the US yet.
Other than the good Doctor, my favorite escape is audiobooks, and I have been listening to Dickens, with a few other 19th century classics thrown in. Just started listening to The Count of Monte Cristo.
Caleb is losing teeth and growing tall. He is in love with the Beatles and video games. He charms everyone he meets. Ainsley makes up songs to sing and perform and has three imaginary friends. And because I can't help bragging, can read Dick & Jane and the first few BOB books (she has a lot of word recognition skill, but is only just starting her phonics). She can also tie a bow. And write most of her name, though she needs help with "s" and "y". Tell me again, USD 259, why you won't let her test into Pre-K?

That's all for now.
