Indulging in Melancholy
I'm not in a bad mood, really, just rather introspective. I've been figuring out some unpleasant truths. Life seems almost devoid of passion for me, and has been for months. Everything just seems...insipid. Dull. Blah. I just haven't felt like doing anything but read. It's like I've been skimming the surface of life and haven't felt like going any deeper. I dunno, maybe I'm depressed or something but I'm not really unhappy or anything, just bored. And stuck. Maybe I'll get myself invited to more parties or something like that. And maybe I'm just tired of watching TV over holidays.

I know what you mean. I've been indulging too much in "retail therapy" lately. That's partly why I gave so many presents at Christmas. Buying things for other people (as well as myself) helps perk me up. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long.
I've also been working really hard on my personal appearance. I finally found some tinted moisturizer that's actually light enough - Cover Girl Fair/Light. As you might expect, the light shade Elizabeth uses is too dark for me, even if it's better than nothing.
I did manage to get all of granddaddy's bills paid in time to avoid late fees, which is better than I've done some months.
Right now, for mood-improvement therapy, I'm working on planning my tea party on the 27th. You may have guessed that I enjoy planning and giving family social events, and having contingency plans for varying numbers and mixes of people adds to the interest.
Let's face it, 2007 was a lousy year for us, and we have a right to feel a little depressed. What you need is a little pampering.
Maybe you ought to get together with your mom or one of your friends this weekend and the two of you can indulge in lunch and a pedicure. I owe you a bunch of money for respite care in December, so you should be able to afford it.
Yeah, I've been doing some retail therapy, too. My version is going to my favorite thrift store and finding cute shirts. Unfortunately, my budget (and my closet!) only allows for so much of that.
