Sure; the Santa Anas Are Blowing . . .
and there are a few senses in which one could take that.
On the other hand, the estrogen fairy has returned, and life is, once again, a perfectly lovely thing. There's Gatorade in the refrigerator, and all's right with the world.
Freeway closures? Hey—my car won't be out of the shop until tomorrow afternoon anyway. All's well.

I Could Eat.
But then I might get sleepy, and right now at least I'm sort of getting things done around the house, as I neurotically wander around. A little here. A bit there. I might get terribly ambitious and hang a picture . . .

Wow.
I've lost a handful of friends this fall, due to:
1) my own ADD + someone else's jealousy/control issues;
2) politics + the other person's Asperger's syndrome/suppressed rage;
3) politics + someone else's jealousy;
4) politics + mutual depression/hypersensitivity;
5) politics + the other person's suppressed rage about things that have nothing to do with me;
6) my drinking;
7) politics + the other person's perception that I'm high-drama. Where that idea came from, I have no clue.
If I could just find a way to lose three more relationships, I'd have a strike. Let's see . . . my mother . . . her dog . . . one more relationship down, and I win.
I can't find my Prozac, and it's been a week or so. But I'm too depressed to look for it. Besides: if I slow down the rate at which I'm alienating the human race, that lowers my hermit-score, and I'm working hard on this project.
Apparently.

Damn, wish I could help, but... well, I kinda like you for your politics, your drama and most especially your drinking. Sorry. Try Hackbarth or something. Good luck!

I was thinking of "something," but the electricity bill is already too high.

Hermits don't have blogs.

Try prayer before anything involving toasters, electricity, gin, or any of the usual suspects. It's been known to work.

I tried, but it sounded like the line was busy. I'll try again once tonight. He has to be Home at some point, right? And, yes: confession this week. And if I can't get the connection going via the Roman Catholic line, I'll go back to the Methodists for a while, or try the Anglicans. It most certainly cannot get worse than this. (I mean, it could, but . . . you know.)
I don't have a toaster. (And, just to set your mind at ease, the allusion above was to a plug-in vibrator; I'm not suicidal--and if I were I'd still be too contrary to give in to a thing like that. I wouldn't let It win.)
No gin. Not when I'm like this. I might go to bed early, though. How early is too early? I was thinking I would let myself go to bed around 8:00, if I'm still this miserable. (And, yes: Ambien is permitted. Not more than 125% of my normal dose, though. And then I can read, or do my counting-myself-to-sleep routine, or whatever . . .)
Usually, I try to read when I'm like this, but I can't even seem to do that. Perhaps there's something around here that I've read 25 million times that will comfort me and bore me vaguely at the same time. Magazines like
Women's Day used to be really good for nights like this.
Look at it this way: it's like not owning stocks right now. Being emotionally broke is like being financially broke: the expectations are low. Anything I accomplish tonight is a victory.
