Birthday Blues
It's my birthday today. I should feel happy, but I don't. Today will be a difficult day. I won't be hearing from my father today.
My family has a luncheon planned for me and a dinner with cake. That will be nice. Hopefully I can get rid of the sense of dread that I'm feeling so that I can enjoy it.
Once my birthday is over then I'll be back to my depressed state. I really hope that the Pristiq kicks in soon. I've been sleeping a lot and ignoring my duties around the house. I need to get back into gear. There's a lot to do this time of year. I need to start getting ready for Thanksgiving and I need to start buying presents for Christmas.
All in good time, I guess.
