One thing that I've discovered that can help blunt depression's sharp edges is to always have something to look forward to, no matter how small or ordinary that "something" might be.

I'm looking forward to being in bed and dozing off to sleep

You would like Amish Country.  There's a place with every kind of cheese you can imagine with free samples of everything.

I've never been to Pennsylvania Amish Country.  I'm talking about Ohio Amish Country.  If you like food you will find some of the best food on earth there.

Crawling into bed in my very cold bedroom and feeling the cats go under the blankets next to me.

Going back to work.  Putting my money to work for me.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Except maybe when i can get out of this hell. Leave the planet. Then all will be fixed. 

He even took away my love of Christmas now. For those who dont know me or know me well, thst is a HUGE DEAL snd something i thought was impossible.

Nothing.

I'll be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family this year.  It won't be easy though, since I have limited use of my right arm which refuses to heal from an elbow injury.  But I love to cook, I love cooking for other people, I love turkey and all the trimmings...so regardless of my arm, I can and will do it   I'm really looking forward to it.

I would love to be able to do it but I don't have any confidence in cooking the turkey.  I helped mom do it one year and it was a fall off the bone turkey because it was loaded with butter.  More than likely my Thanksgiving dinner will be something like homemade pizza.

That's cool homemade pizza is good too.  Yeah turkey can be tricky for sure, especially the massive ones that most stores sell.  What I'm going to do this year is look for two small ones, like under 10 pounds if I can find them.  The smaller ones just tend to cook more evenly without getting too dry.  I might also brine them which is what I used to do.  I'm getting hungry now haha.

Getting past this crap that keeps coming up in my mind.  Making new friends.  Making myself more secure in my position.

All the online sales & discounts for black Friday and the holiday season.  One of my favorite tea vendors is having 25% off everything

My shoulder not hurting.

Finding a pet.  I found a local puggle that seems perfect.  She even has mom's name which has to be a sign right?  I found a cat that's angry and hissing in the preview picture.  I'm sure they try to take the perfect picture of the animals and the only picture they can get is of him hissing.  Maybe that's the me of cats.

Homemade noodles and pumpkin pie and apple pie and peach pie.  I must like pie.

Ooo, homemade noodles! And I've never had peach pie--only cobbler--but that sounds great.

Peach pie and peach cobbler are two things that are basically the same type of thing at least around here.  Maybe the difference might be the pan you cook them in.
