Last couple of weeks have not been good. A couple of other personal / family issues have come up that have just increased my stress level. Listening to the radio at work this afternoon and a random song came on that nearly had me in tears and I don't know why; and I know the increased depression isn't helping my ability to deal with the weather changes and physical pain.

Going to take the entire first week of November off. Have a funeral on the 2nd, Dr. apt. on the 7th, friends surgery on the 8th, and my boy's death on the 9th.  At some point I might disappear for a couple of days, even if its just driving randomly somewhere.

I know I'm not in the best place at the moment, mentally, and am trying not to let things get worse.

Take care of yourself, Fae.  You're doing the right thing by taking the time.
