[...] with moved. We’ve been talking about moving ourselves, for months, but haven’t found the right house to buy. And then on Tuesday, when I called to see if my friend and her two daughters wanted to go swimming [...]

Tara — Thanks for letting the groveling be over.

Grampa — We miss you so much. Maybe you could consider a move to Utah?

Andrea — I appreciate the sign, even if it was already made when you went into the store. Glad to know you were thinking of me at all! And love your honesty that you can’t take credit for any more than you actually did!

On depression, I am feeling so much better now, but it was probably a good thing for me to experience, in some really small way, how people feel who are really depressed. Honestly, I don’t know what I would do if I felt that way all the time, or even semi-regularly. I have always valued our friendship, and your candor about what you think and feel. I also value your life, and have ever since we became friends 17(!) years ago. So I cannot even express how glad I am that you are able to fight your fight every day and reach your goal at the end of each day.

Oh, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Dooce.com? She is the most famous/successful mommy blogger, and she’s written about her PPD that got her hospitalized, etc. She’s incredible.

I’m glad that you’re in a good spell now and I’m glad for your three (four!) beautiful boys.

Thanks. For everything.

Two things–One, I didn’t actually “have the sign made”; it was already made and I just bought it for Jane because of the clean and sweet smelling post. Somehow saying that I had it made made me feel like I was getting too much credit for the gift. Second, I am totally a veteran at depression. The “one day at a time” mantre that gets people through various problems, addictions, etc. has best served me for dealing with depression. Right now I am in a good spell, but sometimes my only goal for the day is “not kill myself today” and at the end of the day, it I have accomplished that, then kudos to me! You do sound like you have a healthy understanding of your depression, which I think a lot of people never obtain, so that is admirable.

Try being depressed on top of being very old, fat, and alone (dogs don’t count, enough). The can-you-top-this approach doesn’t work, I know.

What would you like for Mother’s Day? Shopping should cheer me up and you get a prize. Sound win-win to me.

Okay, okay, the groveling is over. I'm sure part of why I was upset is the overwhelming depression I've felt the last couple days. I'm feeling too frumpy to even blog, except for reading yours of course. Thanks for changing your post yesterday just to please your silly friend. And thanks for your post today too. At least people can see I'm occasionally thoughtful in addition to the overly-sensitive, crazy parts. tarable's last blog post..A Book Review: The Last Camel Died at Noon, plus a plug for Goodreads.com
