The Downs and Ups

The only good thing about bad days is that they tend to be followed by good ones. Yesterday, I was miserable. I felt rejected, scared, and alone (umm, depression, anyone?), and was quite certain that I was useless to the world. And that ice cream, Harry Potter, and tea were quite useful to me. It was rotten.

Today, though, is a better day. I feel like going and being ridiculously productive, reading and writing like a maniac. Jess sent me the link to the NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month. It's fantastic. I read through part of the history, and yearned for some sort of crazy excitement to get my head and my adrenaline going. I actually miss having the stress of a couple of organizations, countless causes, and not a little bit of research to be done.

A solution would be fantastic. I currently have my weekly dose of "Let's quit my job!" running through my head. I could write and blog and adventure and feel non-capitalist... Oh, such dreams. Too bad I actually need an income to survive. Oh, life.

Hey Alicia!
I hate to come back and "haunt you" if that's how you feel, but I just felt like seeing how you've been. It's really nice to see your train of thought again and I just want you to know that I've been thinking of you lately and praying a lot.
Take Care,
Nat
