OK, so here we are. Its 2015, a new year. Its the middle of winter and I am fighting depression because its too cold to do anything and it just takes away all my energy and will to do anything. Its hard to be social but I am managing to go to kink events here and there.
All of that aside, I am starting and continuing a couple of things I want to write about. The main thing is cleaning the house. Living in a mess of a house has become a huge depression trigger for me and Im not going to do it any more. With the help of Amy, we have made huge progress on the house and I am working on figuring out a routine to help keep it that way. Routines are, I think, a key to easing my depression some. Thats my current theory anyway, time shall tell.
I looking through Pinterest a week or so ago and found a very cool idea. A while back there was a grow light for plants on the clearance rack and Amy bought it thinking it was the kind of light I could use for SAD therapy, I thought it was too but a short time with Google showed it wasnt. I had already opened it so I kept it and then I saw on Pinterest a cool thing about an herb garden. I have quite a few empty mason jars that used to be full of moonshine and the article I saw was about making a mason jar herb garden. I have a good shelf for it and can mount the grow light where it would help the herbs grow and when I harvest them I can use them to cook and make butter for the bread I bake. Plus taking care of the herbs can become a routine and that should help.
I am exercising more now. Im working with the Butler University police department through the security company I work for. I walk through all the academic buildings at Butler and my whole job is to be seen and keep an eye out for anything that shouldnt be going on. So I find myself walking between 5 and 7 miles per night four nights a week. My plan right now is to start going to the gym two or three nights a week after work and tanning and doing some weight work. Hopefully between that and the walking I can get in better shape and not hurt as much, which will also help with the depression hopefully. I weighed myself the other day and have set a goal and am planning to keep good track of my weight and start losing again.
Im also going to try and write here some more too. Once again a routine would help and I am going to try to stick to one with writing, I have seen a few books on Amazon that are full of topics to write about and I figure there have to be websites that do too, finding one and starting writing again shouldnt be too big a problem. I also saw a few books about photography and taking pictures of different things, maybe I can find a website or book about that too and combine the two. I love taking pictures and want to do more with that.
Big plans, yes, but right now I am optimistic about keeping up with all of this. I will definitely be writing and doing pictures of the herb garden idea, I really like it and cant wait to get some herbs to make butter with for people I want to make bread for. It should be cool...
