jianantonicLife has been feeling particularly weighty lately. I'm definitely in the midst of a depression spell -- everything seems overwhelming and I'm putting off simple things that I really need to deal with. Classic symptoms for me. I don't feel overtaken by it, I just know it is there, making existence significantly more of an effort right now. But I am existing.
I came home last night to a certified letter from the city of Milwaukie. I found that odd, since we don't live in Milwaukie (it's a neighborhood that is part of Portland but apparently has its own city government), so I opened it and saw a lovely mug of my husband, behind the wheel of our Honda. It was one of those photo radar speeding tickets. $160. Awesome. His birthday is tomorrow -- kind of fitting, since I also got a speeding ticket on my birthday. Sigh. The funny thing is, though, that of all the things that are making me feel so down, this isn't one of them. I find this funny. I mean, it sucks, but it's funny.
I remembered the plans I'd forgotten I'd made for the weekend -- first Hokie football game. Going to our usual bar with the Portland Hokies. In past years, I've been much more excited. This year, I don't know much about the team, don't expect them to really be any good, and I'm just not pumped the way I used to be. Can't it be basketball season now? Blazers start their preseason games in early October...I'm beyond ready for that.
Anyway. Things are things. I'm hanging in. I could use some hugs.
