I much prefer answering comments individually and under normal circumstances, please, know that I would. I do however want you to know that I really really appreciate your care, concern and kind, thoughtful words. Especially right as I need it most.

While depression can leave you feeling completely alone, I have something going for me and as hokey as it may sound, it’s this blog and the innernets. Even if I don’t/can’t/won’t remove myself from the carefully cultivated butt-shaped imprint in the couch (and trust me, I spent a lot of time working on that butt-shaped imprint), I can still be connected to people who whether or not I’ve actually met them, care enough to let me know that I’m not alone.

It means a hell of a lot to me here at Chez Sea Anemone.

I did take a day off this past week to be an bum, take care of myself and do absolutely nothing more than go to the Dr and get referrals and refills on my medications. (Oh, and knit. I kinda of knit a lot and finished something this week.) My Dr. was glad to hear of what I was doing to help myself and was very reassuring and I’m so glad that I picked him to go to when I first got to Houston and had to rework my healthcare choices. When you get to picking a Dr and find one that specializes in two massive areas of concern for you, you are indeed a lucky person, no?

So, I’m slowly back on the right track again and that makes me feel better.

Also making me feel better? A variety of pink things. Pink is good.

The Mandevilla plant that my Mom and I picked out a few months ago. This plant has been dripping with constant blooms.

Gratuitious close-up

My soon to be new tank. The Waterlily Top by Katy Ryan from IK Summer 2006. I originally saw this top at the Harlot tour last summer and declared that one day, I would knit it too.

And because I’m feeling the close-ups tonight,

Oh. And one last little thing that has been bothering me. Someone found my website by googling: corrective surgery sagging ball sack. Ugh.
