Fishy I am broken-hearted that you are not joining us. But how is the new house? All "warm" now?
Yes. Tomorrow I try out the deck for fireworks viewing. I'm close to the bay, but I don't know who's letting them off where. (It tends to be from a boat near a marina...)

And it's cute watching you all try and convince yourselves that I'll be there next year. But, expectations, you know?

It is. I can see Mt. Tam, the Golden Gate and Port of Richmond gantry cranes. If I hadn't bought this house for access, the view would have been a huge selling point.

Damn that's nice. I could have a great view of downtown Reno if I could talk the neighbors into cutting their trees down.

The other day...
Fucking bus told me that it didn't have room. There I was, sitting on that purgatory of a badly upholstered seat, not enough battery to do anything but wait...

and that is why I hate people helping me. If they can let you in, they can shut you out. Who the fuck needs that?

Thanks, all! I cannot brag enough on Aurora Santa Rosa Psychiatric Hospital. A top notch facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food. And it was educational to observe the other patients -- with the full spectrum of mental illnesses. I may have been the only one who was there by my own choice.

My diagnosis is Major Depressive Disorder -- Severe. No news there, but now we are finally doing something about it. Sunday afternoon I will drive back to Santa Rosa, and Monday morning I start an intensive two-week program of outpatient therapy. So I will be offline two weeks again. Santa Rosa is too far to commute daily, so I will be staying in a motel.

This weekend I have rather a lot to get caught up on!

Have you been slacking off on the 'ten YES per day' program?! :D


Elliot, I admire your candor. I think you help inspire others to tackle their own difficulties after seeing your forthrightness. Best of luck with your therapy, and as always.. you know, we are right here.. just a few keystrokes away!
