Hello.
To her credit, my father's wife is really trying to understand. But the other week, she said that she thought that 80 to 95% of my problems would go away if I found a nice guy. I told her that I had no doubt that a supportive partner would be great, but that it was not a panacea. I told her about a few friends who have really good marriages and suffer from mood disrders all the same. So she agreed that that put a damper on her theory. Anyway, you gotta love how people come up with simplistic solutions to a complex illness.
Now if I could only find the man....
I had a date last night. Semi blind. We had e-mailed and talked on the phone. Actually, I had tortured myself this weekend by going to see my mother. So I was in a bad mood, but I managed to go on the date, where I babbled stupidly. He was nice enough but kind of serious and I'm not sure how much we have in common. We shook hands goodnight (does anyone else do this...?) I'm not sure if we'll get together again. At worst, I could consider it practice.
I woke up this morning in the abyss yet again. I'm trying to push it off and work on a manuscript but geez my brain is fuzzy and refusing to work. So my plan is to work on it all day hoping that that'll be the equivalent of 2 hours of quality working. How does that sound?
That's all the news that's fit to write.
