(Although my patience is at a low due to trekking around sales, lol).

In other news, decided to delete my facebook account for a couple of boring reasons, mainly too many work peeps on there and keeping up with 300 people was getting too much!

Still, frees up my time for other things now.

This resting up and doing nothing business is a bit tiring. Height of my day so far - a cheese pasty and a call from Linda to see how I am doing.

So, decided to tidy up the house and do some housework. If Linda were here, I might make her dress up for my amusement.

But she's not here so a photo will have to suffice.

Isn't the news rather depressing?

Still deep and crisp and even here (the snow, that is).

Keeping the house toasty with the heating on 24/7 right now. Cats are enjoying being allowed to wander the house.

Things are still up and down. Maybe one good day in the last seven but that is quite an improvement. The increase in meds is sending me very tired at the most weird of times. Still, an improvement (even a slight one is good news). Carpe diem!

Shattered like a glass elephant.

For anyone that knows Harlan Ellison, I'm taking the piss a little there and riffing on his immortal short, Shattered like a Glass Goblin.

Why?

Well, cool things are made of glass for a start. The foremost being Mr Glass. Then there's the stuff your drinks come in. Again, glass.

OK, there is a point here. The last time I was in therapy (circa 1999), my therapist asked me to "name" my depression. Back then I gave it something trite like "bastard" but as I have gotten older, the condition has become more and more off limits. People accept it is there but they do not acknowledge it. Or want to acknowledge it. Hence, the "elephant in the room". In this case, the fragility of discourse has rendered it in glass. It is not enough to even acknowledge its existence but the mere recognition of it and dealing with it (as an outsider), renders it transparent. And breakable.

So, this time around....the glass elephant.

Today's photo.

Appropriate. And cheerful.

Piracy of books/music/movies/comics is not a "victimless" crime.

I feel for Colleen Doran and countless other creators who devote their lives to creating art and material for us to read. Before you torrent or download a comic, think about the damage you could cause.

Better yet, start a standing order. Chances are, many titles could fall by the wayside as people opt for illegal downloads instead of coughing up the cash.
