To and from for a while, Abigail.

( Samuel 1 ch 25.)

Much needed lessons today.

And Davids words to her v 32
In fact the event has been at the back of my mind for a long time but brought to the forefront

by current events in the world.

Was that trip based on misinformation also?
Well...technically it's a celebration of a completion of a tropical year, the time it takes to the earth to travel to the same point in the season. But the sidereal year is only about 20 minutes longer, so I guess it doesn't matter for calendar purposes.

True. We've already succumbed to the end of days where man serves tech instead of the other way around.
I wonder if Ogg said the same thing to Ugh about having to look for flint.

That there must be severe weather nearby. Walked outside and there was a mammatus cloud formation overhead. Radar shows a severe storm about 60 miles (95 km) away, but wouldn't think it was from that one. There's strong downdrafts from somewhere, though.

The snow was unbearable today. Couldn't even get my car out of the neighborhood before it got stuck.

Things are supposed to taper down.. I really hope so.. I feel like we deserve a break.. but mother nature doesn't work that way.

Sometimes I don't quite know why I'm so depressed. Hope it's not a chemical imbalance. Personally the idea that it might be is terrifying.

It's more than depression. Just seems like I am plagued with a lot of mental health issues. Sometimes I wonder if it is my fault or not.

Now.. instead of being depressed... I'm in a really bad mood. Just feel like screaming and not sure why. It's Friday and the weekend is starting... I should be chilled out and happy right now.

I think part of the problem is having so many days off recently. Being able to be alone.. probably the biggest thing I hate about work is just interacting with co-workers. They're not bad co-workers or anything.. I just really.. really feel ill and anxious when I'm around others. Driving home.. all the cars.. it's just so infuriating.

If I had the means I'd just buy a cabin in the woods and probably only interact with other people a few times a year.. and that's only to get supplies. I love the internet... you can get your social fill without being too close to others. Even having a wife around would probably get annoying after a while.

Being surrounded by nature with gadgets... that's what I want.

That I need to quit going in circles on buying basic leatherworking tools, but I don't trust my judgment right now: needed co know how many ounces were in a third of a cup and instead of coming up with 8 / 3 = 2 2/3, had to reach for my calculator.

OR ... when it fails if someone shorts it all out,...
Someone or some thing. They say a large solar flare could do that, and some say we're overdue for one of those.

You're depressed lately. There's probably no chemical imbalance, nothing wrong with you, I know it happens to me, I'm sure it happens to all of us. It can be caused by demons, but I'm sure you don't believe in those. When I'm depressed I listen to Norm MacDonald, and find myself laughing or at least smiling very quickly. I know it's ridiculous to tell someone "you should like what I like", but it might be helpful to immerse yourself in Norm until you truly get him. Awhile back I got a new car and when I drove off the lot I found the radio was tuned to a classical music station. I started to change it but then thought "no, I've always kind of wanted to understand and appreciate classical music" so I left it there and have been listening to nothing else when in the car. I'm starting to fall in love with classical music. It's good to appreciate the finer things in life, especially when they don't cost anything, like radio and YouTube.

I recommend Norm because, as they say, laughter is the best medicine. Unless you've just received third degree burns to 90% of your body, in which case morphine is the best medicine.

So MehGuy, you're worried you might have mental problems. I think mine are much worse. I think I have split personality disorder, or whatever they call it. One of me randomly and suddenly wondered who invented the toothpick, even though I wasn't using a toothpick or looking at a toothpick or thinking about toothpicks. This person said "you're sitting right in front of the internet, just type it in and find out". But there's this other person inside me that said "what kind of a loser are you? Nobody cares who invented the toothpick. Go out and talk walk or something. Get a life, dude."

It's Sunday morning, and I'm on annual leave. Not going to church feels a bit like I imagine skipping school would have felt, back in the day!

(I say "I imagine" because I never did actually skip school unless I was very sick).
