All the Depressions

 Depression is something I have long battled over the years. 2020 has been adding a special something to the amount of depression everyone is dealing with. My normal depression has teamed up with quarantine depression...and now, as the daylight shortens, my seasonal depression will add that little extra to it that I am finding impossible to fight.

Allergies aren’t helping either. I have been taking my allergy medicine in the morning and evening as my doctor prescribed, but this year seems to be especially brutal. COVID, flu season, allergies, the stack of depressions...I am coming to my wits end. 

I check in with the doctor using telemedicine, but I feel like the normal checking for symptoms, blood work up, and listening to lungs is now not necessary? I get it. This pandemic is nothing to blow off. But how many people sick from other things are being affected because COVID has taken over the medical community? Why is it there are so many selfish people willing to risk the lives of others and their own family just because they want to go to Disneyworld? Why is it fine that they are required to wear shirt and shoes to the store, but a mask is too far for their little brains to cope with?

Fighting this virus takes everyone. Just because your sorry ass can’t take precautionary measures, means the rest of us suffer from it. Stop it. I am able to fight, one or two forms is depression. Fighting three...requires a LOT of assistance. 

I lost a father, a brother, and a wife to depression. It impacts those left behind in ways most people cannot fathom.

My Rare Political Statement...Illegal Immigrants

This is a long post. However, it addresses BOTH sides of the immigration issue. The actual bill as it was received in the Senate from the House. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h4437rfs.txt.pdf In a nutshell, here is what the bill provides (ref: Wikipedia ): · Requires up to 700 miles (1100 km) of fence along the US-Mexican border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. (House Amendment 648, authored by Duncan Hunter ) · Requires the federal government to take custody of illegal aliens detained by local authorities. This would end the practice of "catch and release", where federal officials sometimes instruct local law enforcement to release detained illegal aliens because resources to prosecute them are not available. It also reimburses local agencies in the 29 counties along the border for costs related to detaining illegal aliens. (Section 607) ·

What is it About Shoes?

I just have to know. What is it about shoes? I own five pairs of shoes and I can tell you where they are located at any given point in time. Each of them has a purpose. I have a black pair of tie-up shoes used for work and only work. In fact, they stay in my locker at work. The second pair of shoes are basically a backup for the first pair. They are slip on Dexter loafers in black and brown. Multifunctional and works with nearly every outfit. Third are my Nike Air Monarchs. I use these for nearly everything casual including my daily trip to work. After arriving at work, I put on the shoes mentioned first. Next are the mowing sneakers. They are plain white New Balance and were the predecessor to the Monarchs. I use them when I am mowing. They are green. Lastly are my bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes. They cannot be worn outside of a bowling alley, so they stay in my bowling bag (lately without any usage at all). This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why in the wor

Moving on and moving out

I have made an executive decision in my life today. MomofJenMatt is right about a very sensitive issue and I have been running it through my mind for most of the night. I am strongly against the support of child pornography and to be honest, Xanga could be considered as contributing to the distribution of child pornography. Therefore, this is my last post with Xanga. I am moving to http://www.blogger.com/ . Blogger.com is tied to/owned by Google. It is a little more complicated to use, but I figure I will get used to it. This is my new blog site: http://n8ivwarrior.blogspot.com/ I welcome you to join me, although anyone can read and comment on my blog. You do not need to be a member. I hereby resign the Viewer's Choice to LarsThunder. Thank you for viewing and good luck to you all.
