Jeff's Journal

Let me first apologize for confusing y'all by putting yesterday's Name that Tune entry under Jeff's journal by mistake. Sunnybeach7 correctly guessed the tune it was The Heart of Rock N Roll by Huey Lewis and the News Just left Dr Zhang. She took me off of Lamicital which is a good thing. The less...

Winter is getting to me. The depression is definitely worse than it has been and I think the cold is the culprit. A lot of the problem is that it's probably not going to warm up for at least a month. I think I'll feel better two weeks from now even if it's still just as cold because by then spring... Sign in to see full entry.

It's the last day of January and I'm glad. It's my least favorite month. At least in February there's a little more daylight and I can start to see spring off in the distance. I'm excited about starting school tomorrow. The college is so much bigger now that it was when I was a full time student... Sign in to see full entry.

Well I signed up for Writing for Radio and television. Should be a fun class but I'm just excited about going to school I love school:) Last night I was feeling a bit lonely, very unusual for me.

Spent the afternoon sleeping/slash resting today. I have a bit of a cold, I don't know if it was just the cold slowing me down or a combination of the cold and depression. I didn't make it to Howard Community College again today. I'm cutting it close, the semester starts Monday. It's not the end of... Sign in to see full entry.

Pretty good therapy session today. Suzanne says I look well. That's good to hear. Weird as it sounds sometimes I'm not sure how I feel. Went to Heather's laughter group today. Definitely a good place for a depressed person to go. I had planned to go to HCC to check on getting a tuition waiver due to... Sign in to see full entry.

My health is a bit shaky today I have a touch of "brain fog" Not real bad but enough to be annoying. Nice talk with Suzanne last night. Didn't talk about her love life (or lack thereof) for a change. We talked and Conan and Jay and all that mess. I see where they're paying Conan O'Brien $45 million... Sign in to see full entry.
