How are you this morning?

[digitaldiscipline]

I'm awesome. No real reason for it, just in a good mood, glad to be above ground, that sort of thing.

Or, as I said to sloot:

Two reasons I like being me:

- I seldom have meetings
- Dude, I'm me. I fucking well rule.


How are you, people of the 'tubes?

I am well. I am buzzing right along with work, the kitten is playing under my chair, my smoothie was great, the dishes are done, etc. Today feels good.

Lacking motivation. Otherwise good. Want vacation now, please and thank you.

I am good but every inch of my body hurts. I feel old and out of shape... lol Maybe you should give me work out tips...

"Old," she says.

Pffft.

Still a legend in my own mind, but lacking your general gusto for the day :P

I have too many meetings which, unsurprisingly, are mostly unproductive of anything other than more work (of late, with vendors who *really* should consider another line of work).

Oh, and smoking cessation is in [nic]fits and starts...this week I managed 2 days @ 1/2 pack a day and 2 days with none, cold turkey, before going back to 1/2 pack a day. This beats previous efforts of 3/4 pack to 1 day cold turkey to pack-a-day by way of addictive overcompensation. This morning I woke up on the wrong side of the world due to withdrawal (and being a cranky bastard in general) aggravated by two magpies nattering in opposite ears during a lurching, late train commute to work. Back to 1/2 pack until I remember how not to kill without the need for a smoke ;) FWIW, it seemed like every time I took a healthy breath of plain ol' air during the 2-day cold turkey effort I rememebered your pithy, "quit smoking asshole." Strangely, that helps :P

Oh, and because I forgot to add: glad to hear yer havin' such a rockin' day!

Cheerful people are so damn annoying...

I love this post! Yay good moods.

Pardon if this is an inappropriate question but do you think the goodness of the mood is chemically enhanced? I'm debating some anti depressants in the fall to try to avoid the huge SAD crash I seem to cycle through every year so I'm very curious about other people's responses to them...

I don't really think so, no, but it's entirely possible. i'm dealing with some shit, which might be helping as well. and a sense of accomplishment, both in the gym and with how shrinkgeek.com is going, certainly doesn't hurt.

and, what the hell, now is as good a time as any to "out" myself.

the wellbutrin -is- having visible effects.

what used to be every six weeks -- a three or four day, fairly moderate depression -- are about a day long, and not nearly as acute. i think my infrequent (2-3x/yr) two-week black funk was maybe three or four days of moderate depression.

basically, it looks like my depressive episodes all got turned down by an order of magnitude. i can't say i'm going to evangelize for it or anything, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have a sit-down with a shrink/psych and lay out where you are to get some objective input. however, they'll almost certainly tell you to knock off getting lit up at the dance cave every week, which, yeah, i can see causing some resentment and frustration.

i'm pretty much annoying any time, though.

[elixxir.livejournal.com]

Oh holy shit I'm an asshole!! It never even occurred to me that was info not available to all. SORRY!!! That said, yay for accomplishment. And surely there MUST be a happy pill that doesn't preclude the boozahol?! Oh lord, depression vs Dance Cave...now THAT'S a conundrum!!

[bitogoth.livejournal.com]

lol- the answer to this question, first and foremost, ever and always, is Tired. other responses may apply, but since it's not such a great day, i will pass and say- yay for you!

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

I'm just crappy.

But hey, you asked.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

The inability to see you at C15 and give you vigorous hugs is one of the bummers of my week.

*ponders ways to be at all helpful in dispelling the poop*

What a great idea. I have to go out to pick up a package, MIL sent a case of mead. But after that, I think I'll treat myself to dinner. Not quite sure what yet. But I'll lay odds on much tastiness in the near future.

[miamadness15.livejournal.com]

That's just a little too much for me yet. I am starting from day 1.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Then may I suggest "It Goes to Eleven"?

:-)

[miamadness15.livejournal.com]

huh?? LMAO!
