Figured that I better get a blog entry prepped.<\/p>\n

I’m going to visit a friend. I SOOO need to get away if only for a few hours.<\/p>\n

I’m dealing with a bit of cabin fever. With the price of gas as high as it is, I’ve not been going too many places. I’ve certainly not been spending any gas that I didn’t need to.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, I’ve been saving money. On the other hand… I’m going stir crazy in isolation.<\/p>\n

The subtle signs are that when I actually do go somewhere I’m grinning the whole way there and back. It doesn’ matter if I’ve got the top of the car up or down, It’s freedom! It’s a new view and I’m stimulated by it. Another sign is that I’ve bought some music that would make great driving \/ traveling music.<\/p>\n

The Chromatics is the latest acquisition. Yeah… gotta drive playing their music.<\/p>\n

I’ve packed my camera, and a few other items in case I see something that’s photo-worthy.<\/p>\n

Changed a bunch of Lightbulbs yesterday to the new LED lights. In the process I busted an insert in the fixture. I’m taking that along with me in case I see a Home Depot or Lowes and feel like stopping.<\/p>\n

The problem is cabin fever is that to a point you’re productive and take care of little projects. But beyond that point you slip down the slope to depression and you just don’t give a damn about much of anything. The shit will STILL be there tomorrow and if it’s gets moved today, tomorrow, or next week it really doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n

The problem is that feeling like that feeds further depression and then it starts coloring all kinds of things in your life. Within a short time the cycle is feeding on itself and growing worse.<\/p>\n

Today is going to be a mental health day. New view, good conversation, & probably a good drink or two. I think it will be good to talk with my friend I’ve gotten the impression that he’s in a similar headspace. If true then we may be able to help each other out and give each other direction as only interaction with someone you know well can.<\/p>\n
