[livejournal.com profile] azhure asked me a question in one of my rock posts: (and randomly, just out of curiosity, do you ascribe to any of the metaphysical properties of stone?). The short answer was yes and no. The long answer will hopefully emerge below.

Much to my joy I did another 3 hours at the office this morning, this time with BYO ergonomic furniture. I need to clock up a few more hours in the chair to be sure, but my left leg and arm appear to approve of the new angles. It's a kneel chair I've had for many years. I think I wrote most of my project management essays on it so I've clocked up multiple-hour sessions before with some success.

So, I have clinical depression. Quite severe depression as it turns out, but I've always struggled with the idea because my black dog is not the hulking heavy beast of nightmare: weighing my steps and casting its shadow over my soul. My black dog is a frisky labrador puppy with a vigorously waving tail, who manages to trip me up and make me fall flat on my face. Over and over until I can't get up. It then licks me on the face until I giggle, but I still can't get up.

Today I joined my parents and Middle Sister for a visit (pilgrimage?) to the family memorial at Karrakatta Cemetary, where a plaque has been placed to mark BB's passing one year ago, as the great grandson of the man buried there long ago. It was a good thing.

Perhaps oxygen is my friend after all. Feeling tired now after a disturbed night and another relatively busy day, but am still pleased with the day's progress.

I'll be wandering into less familiar territory with this post, but the friendships I have grown in the last 3 years in particular have made me realise how fortunate I am.

I'm beginning to have suspicions that the universe is trying to tell me something.
