Positive Health Update

I have felt much better these past few days, which, perversely, may explain why I haven't written here. I didn't need the exercise to jumpstart my brain, and I didn't need to pass the time when I had nothing to do. I have a project that, if it doesn't satisfy my soul, at least keeps my attention and requires my focus.

That's what I was worried about as the project started: that my depression would keep me from being able to focus on task. That's what my depression does. I can't focus unless it see a real spiritual value to me. I'm sure that sounds odd coming from someone in the workaday world, but that's how I feel.

It's still going to be another week or so before the full benefit of the Cymbalta takes effect, but these initial signs sure are positive.

I'm going to be off for the next three days. My wife and I are going to a cabin in the woods and chill out. I'm disconnecting from the 'grid' for a few days of reading, walking, meditating, and generally relaxing and having fun. It has been so long since I had fun that I probably have to relearn how to do it.
