Feeling sort of depressed

It was a work from home day, and i started late. But I chugged along, I finished the summer reading book I was reading, Ash, by Melinda Lo, which is a LGBTQ version of Cinderella, and very sweet, and started a totally different one.

I somehow got the picture frame working normally, I have no idea how, and I kept it on all day rather than risk it going back to the loop.

During my lunch I started going through more pictures to put on the frame, and I started feeling very lonely and sad, thinking about the good times in the past. That persisted most of the day.

After work I Skyped the FWiB, and that made me feel better. Then after we spoke I put my dishes from yesterday away and had dinner. Then I called the Kid, or actually, before I had a chance to, she called me. I told her I was just starting to eat dinner and could I call her back, and she agreed, so that's what I did.

We talked until the Thurber reading, and then I got off to listen to that. And then after Thurber, I called her back again and we talked until Oldest Brother called, when I got off and talked to him. Everyone is well, mostly, he did a double shift today and another one tomorrow.

And now it is time to go to bed. Tomorrow I head in through the tropical storm to the branch for my first day of grab-and-go service. At least the weather should keep people away.

And that's about all.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The Kid.

3. Talking on the telephone.

4. Good books.

5. The picture frame is working... for now.

6. It's a tropical storm, not an out-and-out hurricane.
