At 8 am I was up to phone MTS, and got through on the first try. There was no problem with my making the payment arrangements this morning, and I can pay my bill at a third-party agent in Osborne Village instead of having to go aaaaallllll the way down to the MTS main office in the industrial park hinterland. Whew.
I crawled back into bed, but couldn't get back to sleep. This morning the Ritalin seems to be working just fine. I lay there for about an hour before finally getting up again at 9 am, at which point I called the Winnipeg Humane Society and found out that the total donations they'd received toward my mother's memorial plaque came to $200. With the money that I've also collected from various people, we can afford the brass plaque. I'll have to go down to meet with someone in the next week or two to finalize the details.
The depression is still here. I'm skating on thin ice mentally and emotionally, and I'm having a hard time keeping my balance. But at least I'm on the surface of the depression, not crashed through into the freezing waters below.
Today I have to start exercising again, and I have to keep it up. I have no idea why it's so damned hard to get back on that horse and stay on it, but it is. And with depression moving in like a storm front it's vitally important that I do everything I can to hold it at bay.
