Dateline 5-20-2017

It turns out that expressing the thoughts that preoccupy my mind, via these Daily Breaker posts really helps to settle me down. Over the past two days, I've been writing about a deep depression that I felt was coming my way. Even though I'm pretty confident that no one who I actually know takes the time to read my ramblings, throwing these feelings out to the world, like a message in a bottle, helps to even me out.

For some reason, yesterday's post pushed me to the point where I could even finish my train of thought and had to take a nap directly after posting it. At first, I felt like this was the breaking point from a building blue feeling to not being able to get out of bed but then I woke up and after a dip in the pool with my nephew, I felt refreshed enough to finish my day.

This led to a standard night's sleep after three weeks of building a deficit. Though I don't really feel caught up on my rest, I do feel that I'm at least leaning in a positive direction and quite possibly fended off the depression before it got too deep.

Now it's the weekend and I'm feeling quite well so I think I'm going to double down on my SNL efforts in order to have a day completely free of obligation since I will have taken care of them today.

We'll see what I can get to and as always, I'll let you know what I managed to pull off tomorrow.

Talk to you then,
