I finally seem to be kicking the depression that bogged me down again last week and into this week. I'm going to attribute it to the changing weather.
I got out of work early on Tuesday and spent more time with Purr. This included some time in the car just sitting in the sun (omg sun!), and my mood has been gradually on the up since then. I even rolled around in bed with Guitarist yesterday.
This weekend, as usual, promises to be busy. Tonight I have the monthly meeting of my writer's group. Guitarist might come with me, he might not. We kind of stayed up late last night eating pizza and watching Evil Politics Man. I went to bed at 1 am, but didn't fall asleep until well past 2, and then I had really strange dreams. Like, I was an Indian woman with a child. I had the most beautiful sari, but the baby kept doing things to it, and I ended up running it through a shredder because the baby was so obsessed with it that it wouldn't eat and was getting horribly skinny. I also dreamed about needing to research biochemistry at a library (not as the Indian woman, different dream) and running into Marian. It was a very awkward dream. I'm waiting for her semester to be over to reach out to her again. I don't like where our relationship ended, and I'd like to at least reassure myself that we can be on friendly terms.
Tomorrow night is an "off" night. I'll probably introvert for awhile and then finish Evil Politics Man with Guitarist. I'm thinking about picking up
On the Edge of Gone, a new YA that is part of the #ownstories movement from one of the women from Disability in Kidlit. I'm super excited about it, I just don't know when I'm going to get to read it. Maybe tomorrow is the night.
I'm going to a steampunk-themed party with Purr on Saturday night. Thrash also invited me to a con event on Saturday day, but I don't think there's any way I can do both. It would require too much energy. A costume isn't
required to either event, but anyone who knows me know that I love to costume.
I'm trying to figure out what to do for a top for the steampunk party, and how I'm going to wear my makeup. I don't have a hat. I wish I had a really cool hat, but I don't think there's time to find one, and even if I did, I couldn't afford it, so there it is.
I'm sleeping over at Purr's on Saturday night, and then I have my usual Sunday dinner at my parents'. I also need to do a bunch of house stuff on Sunday because in my depression I've been letting it slide. And then we're back to Monday again. Next week is packed and I won't have another off night until... Thursday.
Ah, I have to go to work!
