I know I have been scarce and I apologize. My life has been... hectic. Or hellish, your choice. And a bit ago we discovered the AC had leaked and ruined half the living room floor. It was under things so only when the couch started going THROUGH the floor did we see that Holy Cow we had a problem. So now Action Hank and I have had to replace the flooring. It's good in a way, I'm getting to teach him a lot, but the work is killing my hands. At least I'll get pretty new flooring so there's a bright side I guess. If it will just show up so we can install it and not have furniture piled all over. And now I have three kittens to bottlefeed. I have a foster cat that's nursing, but she has 7 kittens of her own and refuses to help me. Sigh. And the depression, always the stupid depression. I hate it so much because it makes me hate me. One day I will beat it.
I'm going to try really hard to show up every day, but so often I fail.
You're not alone in that depression. Just look down and I'll wave. That's terrible about your floor. I'm surprised your homeowners or landlord isn't paying for it. My water heater damaged a small portion of the floor last year and the homeowners insurance paid to sand and refinish all the floors so that they'd still match. We had sub floor, walls, custom wainscotting, and the entire bathroom floor as well. Definitely less costly to pay the deductible. It didn't raise the rates much.
Anyway, if you ever need a hand to help you in that depression, there's always someone here.
@Ology *hugs* just remember that we value you and we're all here for you.
I'm tired of being injured. My shoulder is bad. I can't carry a 12oz can of soda the 20' from my kitchen to my living room. I'm worried I'll need surgery or that it will become another "nothing else we can do. Do physical therapy for life. If you don't want pain meds then that's all we can do. Learn to live with it." Or my favorite "maybe you just need your psych meds adjusted".
