Feeling better :-)
Just a quick update, for friends and family. Saw the doctor the other day and he increased my meds slightly, for the winter season. I’ve been feeling better the last couple of days. Still taking walks, and the sun has been out more this week.
Besides rounding up 3 runaway horses on the property, and having lots of FUN changing washers on the hot water taps of the antiquated system in the house, Cam and I have been doing fine. I actually managed to make pretty good ginger cookies in the wood stove, and there are flowers blooming in the garden even though it’s the middle of winter! Calls from my mom, brother, aunt and uncle, friend, and an IM session with my sister have all helped to put me in better spirits too.
Tonight we’re going to Mum and Dad’s for dinner and spending the night. If anyone needs to get in touch with me for any reason, such as a baby being born, you can call me there!
Take Care out there!

Have just caught up with your blog and was saddened to find you’d been down. Depression is very prevalent in creative people. Can I recommend you read Eric Maisel’s "The Van Gogh Blues"? It turned me around when I was at my lowest and I was constantly astonished at the way he put his finger on why I kept relapsing and how I might deal with it. And deal with it in a personally-derived manner, too. My friend Mo, to whom I also recommended it, had the same reacion.
