Mar. 28th, 2018 11:26 pmAs you likely know, depression can prevent a person from keeping up with the daily chores of life. In my case it's been affecting balancing our checking account and paying bills. But today at some point I felt the keen desire to work on it. This is rare so I knew I'd better take advantage of the urge immediately. So I've been entering a lot of lines of bookkeeping for the last hour or so. I came to the computer because my balance is in the negatives, repeating that after each payday's batch of bills, and I knew that wasn't correct. It is the January balances. And then the February ones. I gritted my teeth and kept totaling things up, getting more and more unhappy with those below-zero ledger entries. Finally it occurred to me (depressed minds do not think well or clearly) that I could just balance the durned thing on a given date of February and that would correct where I've gotten off. I'm pretty sure I neglected to enter a paycheck somewhere between December & January's end. So I did what I've never done before and printed out three month's worth of history from my account's deadline. I actually feel my mood lightening just by doing that. I'll find the danged error now and stop carrying it over.
Thank goodness my brain worked for once. And I didn't freeze after feeling overwhelmed.
It must be spring!
I went to lunch with one of my protégées yesterday as she had posted on FB that she was feeling lonely. She was cool with me bringing my youngest to join us and they geeked over anime and RPGs. I will have to chat with her at some point while we're private that spending her time with her face in her phone if the conversation doesn't revolve around her specifically may be contributing to her feeling lonely - folks just don't feel like repeating the experience of talking to the crown of someone's head. She reminded me about Known World Herald's and Scribes...I'd forgotten that it was relatively close this year, in Cranberry PA. Gwen - I'll be hitting you up for an over-nighter, I think, for Arni and I, if you & Ken aren't busy or crowded already. It would be a nice break in the 8-10 hour drive.
