And on days I’m not… well…

“Catastrophic… system… failure… Initiating core shutdown as per emergency initiative 2682209… I die, so that democracy may… live…” *boom*

I’d prefer to be somewhere in the middle, just happy, loving, kind and positive.

Maybe not *too* positive. Throw in a little MODOK for progression.

Perhaps not so much, though. Less of the K. Possibly closer to MODORD?

Health is a smidgen better today, physically. Mentally, I feel about a 4 out of 10. Fatigued, sore and a trifle gloomy.

Why so glum, chum? I reckon mostly due to a blend of brain chemistry, lethargy and cabin fever. I’ll be better tomorrow, certainly.

This week has been one of rest… and desperately needed.

I am thankful for the opportunity.

Most of the time was spent sleeping, curled up with the lads (Dr. Pye and Nurse Newt) and watching tv, or reading Snuff by Terry Pratchett. Young Justice is very cute although the art style is not my fave. Also digging Ugly Americans.

I need a good solid shave and a haircut…. some time in the sun too. Hopefully I can accomplish that tomorrow along with

Allison has been working very hard this week, putting in long hours – good timing since I have been full on slug.

SO… Scott, how are you doing lately?

Well, it’s been a mixed bag, dear journal.

Sorry I haven’t said anything to you in great detail for the past many moons but I’ve been pretty occupied here and there with other things; some important, and others not so much.

The 25th of October was my 5th wedding anniversary to my best friend and love of my life. I am truly blessed to have her with me. It’s also the 12th year I’ve had Newton – and Pye’s 5th annum of adoption. We’re a pretty close-knit and snugly family.

The last year or so has been a pretty difficult time for me; I have depression. I have anxiety attacks. I also have a bosun’s whistle. Of the three, I’d prefer if I only had the whistle. I’d also like a good, regular paying gig rather than independent contract work.

My mood recently has been variable but with mostly dark moods… lots of sadness coming from places I can’t see. It can be difficult to correct an issue if you don’t know the source of the problem.  I’m working on it. I’m going to do a little working on it here in my journal – just to see if it helps. If I don’t like it out in public, I’ll turn it private.

Bummer about Halloween – The Poe House guy is losing funding next year so the crypt/graveyard donated the evening Halloween tour as a fundraiser for the Poe House. Poe House guy is hiring actors and seems fully staffed (even though they offered all the volunteers services – including BHK and me). Unfortunately the Poe House guy has decided to do the Poe grave site tour on the 30th. The docents tried to talk him out of it because she told him for YEARS people have been used to Halloween night no matter what night it is. She mentioned that they’d put up signs on Halloween to inform people that the regular tour would be back in 2012. So… what to do for Halloween this year?

Current Music – Give Me Love – George Harrison (All Things Must Pass)

scottobear: (OK - All right)
A quick lunchtime fill-in.

More Flurries this morning - I've been having a rough time lately with my back and the cold, but it's getting a bit better as I go.

Moodwise,  I've been feeling pretty down here and there for the last month or so - Stress, back issues, and some poor gut-level stuff. I'm working on feeling better about things - I just have to remind myself that there is a positive destination in sight. I'm glad that BHK and the kitties are on my team, and that my teeth are all fixed.

Some good things ahead - 4-day weekend for Thanksgiving, Christmas is coming, Computer seems to be working well.

BHK and I have made some headway with new friends - The Manspergers and Shaun W. It's always nice to meet nice people and goof with them. Alice came out of the woodwork, and we spent the day with her at the museum after a spot of lunch at papermoon.

One or two of our other friends have dwindled into the mists recently - Who knows if we'll get a chance to hang out for the holiday(s) in the next month or so? I haven't really seen hide nor hair of Tina or Cyn - maybe BHK and I can lure some folks (new or old) up to Gina's Cantina for some snackies sometime soon.

Speaking of snackies - BHK made some pea soup, with a side of boca burger sammich (replay of yesterday's foodies).... good stuff, just right for the weather today. I'd best get on that.

In other news -
I still have no beard.
