I am so, so glad it's Friday. This week was a rough one. I was in the worst mood ever because (men, close your eyes if you don't want to read about women stuff) I got my period for the first time in awhile AND there was a full moon :), so really----- I felt half-dead for most of the week. It's such an awful feeling to be so depressed, even when I know what's going on and that I'll feel better again soon. It's like I'm being smothered by a blanket or something; I found myself literally needing to take deep breaths this week, many different times. Add to that my job, which is hard on a good day, and you've got a very scary woman. One of my students told me my hair looked "all haggy" and I just about freaked out bad. Actually, no--. In fact, I laughed because it DOES look bad (I don't know if I'm going to make it to the Locks of Love length), but then I gave him a serious talk about keeping such opinions to himself.

I am grateful because I have an excuse to clean: my co-worker and his wife are coming over for awhile tomorrow night. I completely did nothing with the house this week, and I did nothing with it last weekend, so----. Yeah. Now I HAVE to get it looking good. Better, anyway. Plus, I've been feeling lonely and secluded. Adam and I really don't do much with people, and we don't have many friends in our city, so this will be good for us.

Monty's leg is bad again. It's so frustrating with him, because just when he's better from one thing (and we're done paying for it) he's got something else. This is hip dysplasia, though, and arthritis, so there's not much we can do. Even if we could afford surgery, there's no guarantee it would even work. It's really sad for us, especially since he's only four, but we're hoping the leg will get better again like it did in April.

I think I'm going to go for a long walk. I feel better today, but there's still the nagging darkness. A brisk walk usually always helps me feel really good.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday night!

Hi, Laura.

Sorry to hear that you've been having a tough time. Hang in there. Hormones suck.

Our dog has hip dysplasia, too. She'll be three this spring. She doesn't show any signs yet, but we're not looking forward to dealing with those issues.

You can always get in touch with us if you need to.

Melissa and Josh
