This post marks 200 blog posts.

This should be a positive thing and a major achievement.

I feel I’ve lost my groove.

In writing, with work, and with my purpose in life.

The past week it’s been HOT. In the 80s – 90s. Which has become the new normal in Seattle Summers. And I’ve been sick with a cold.

On top of this, I’ve been ruminating about how I messed up a sure romantic connection earlier in the year by once again not being brave enough to ask a woman out despite all signs showing that she was interested in me and wants me to. (Maybe I’ll write about this in further detail in the future)

Yesterday was the first day I felt healthy, but the heat wiped me out.

It’s hot today, but not oppressive like the past two weeks.

I’ve been in a funk for a while –which is probably depression– and felt like I’ve become the definition of insanity: doing the same things yet expecting a different result. I’ve been better recently than compared to the full-blown mental health crisis depression I’ve been dealing with the past two months, but… It’s still depression. It sucks.

I’ll be back blogging with a typical post tomorrow. I have to do some grocery shopping to get what I need, which may happen tonight, but more likely tomorrow as I have had a bad tension headache today.

So, I encourage anyone wanting more to check out the archives. There are 199 other posts from the past to peruse. A lot of my stuff is relevant to the time it was posted, but maybe you’ll like it.

Thank you all for your continued support!
