noise of pouring sugar

November 16, 2006

in depression 2006!

the whole family
And so it is the middle of the month. We are sitting in the middle of a west coast storm. Streets are flooding. Trees are falling. Power is flickering, going out, and we are cold. The light of a laptop computer guiding us home.
I am missing. Missing friends. Missing not writing a novel. Missing phone calls.
Cryptic today.
I like to not rake leaves. I like my whole yard covered in a blanket of colours. It's comforting and quiet. Kind of like snow.
I like to eat crackers and cheese for lunch, today was triscuits and cheddar.
I like the smell of sweat. Sweat from that day, not yesterday.
I have one pair of pants that fit me and today i got latex paint on them.
I have a wish. I wish that all of you will send me a christmas card so that i feel less lonely.

I will absolutely send you a Christmas card! Email me a home, office or PO Box address when you get a chance.
I don’t like raking leaves either, because I think they look pretty, but my neighbors are all absolute freaks about lawn maintenance and I get dirty looks if I don’t rake.

Go to this site. Where it says ‘Your personal message will go here. Make it as long as you like…’
I wrote that part.
Smile.

I would SO send you a Christmas card. Just hook me up with an address. I should send you a Christmas card just to thank you for all the enjoyment your blog has brought to my life since I discovered it several months ago. (Discovered the blog, not my life. I’m still working on the other one.)

I would love to send you a Christmas card! I have been reading your blog for a few months. I have been meaning to contact you because I am where you are in a lot of ways. It is so great to see I am not the only one struggling with 4 kids and depression. You express it so well.
