poltr1 | Feeling a little stronger....

Slept in until about 11 today. Completely forgot about choir practice at 10:30. Oops. Oh well.

Went grocery shopping. Also stopped at MotoPhoto to order the holiday cards. Then went in to work for a couple of hours. Braved the crowds at Borders, and the surrounding traffic, to get a gift card. Came home and prepared glazed carrots to the music of Supertramp's "Breakfast In America". It felt good to be cooking again. And the ground ginger I used perked me up a little more.

Brought the carrots to the USS Bismarck holiday party. Had an OK time. Wasn't really in a socializing mood. One of the guests tried to go R. Lee Ermey on one of the member's children, which didn't sit well with a lot of people. I should have called out "At ease, soldier!"

Then I left to see

filkertom in a house concert. That really improved my mood. For a little while, I was able to forget my troubles -- my health issues, the state of my job, and the debt load I'm carrying.
