Having a great time, wish you were here!

A few days in to my Alone Time, haven't had much time feel alone yet! Day 1 I went to the Goodwill Outlet (if you're reading this then you know what I'm talking about) and got a ton of awesome stuff while paling around with the "Regulars" - Suburban Asian Houswife, Retired Gym Coach Guy, Sweet Old Lady, Transgender Ebay Seller... we all had a great time!

(My Day 1 haul)

 

Day two (yesterday) my niece, Hannah, joined me and we were aparently the belles of the ball! We were approached by an elderly lady who just had to tell us that our antics made her so happy :)

During this time I have managed to watch the first three Puppet Master movies from Full Moon Entertainment and I'm loving them so far!

 

Today I am cooking (two days of fast food is quite enough thank you very much) and taking pictures of stuff for ebay.

 

Every night I read poetry to Crystal and Molly over the phone till they fall asleep, and every morning I start my day with making the bed, taking a shower and getting dressed. There's a very real danger in not doing these things, could start a downward spiral of sitting around in your dirty underwear all day feeling sorry for yourself.

I swear it's not depression

I think I want to take a nap, but I'm so hyper-focused on avoiding the tell-tale symptoms of Depression while my family is gone that I'm actively forbidding myself to take a nap - just in case!

Get up every morning.

Shower every morning.

Get dressed every morning.

Eat breakfast even if you don't feel like it.

Go out of the house and interact with other humans at least once a day, even if it's just the clerk at the convenience store.

DON'T SPEND YOUR DAY IN BED SLEEPING!!!

And a special one that really only applies to *me* I'm sure - Don't watch videos of people at Disneyland on YouTube, 'cuz that'll just make you want to cry.

But this is HARD! Can't concentrate on a video game. Can't stay focused on TV. Only thing keeping me awake right now is the act of typing out this entry! If I can just make it to, like, 7pm? THEN i can go to bed.
