Hither and Thither in The Springtime

Omigosh I haven't posted in so long and ya wanna know why? It's spring out there, the crocuses are up and so are the daffodils, along with my caffeine consumption, I'm applying for jobs hither and thither, and I have been a wee bit depressed. But see my depressed is far more exciting than your depressed. It's because of the cycles. After a bit of depressed, I become like obsessed, and kinda happy, and I listen to loud music, pluck my eyebrows, and sort through old jewelry. Also, I am excellent at creating a pseudo-healthy dinner out of virtually nothing. If you have frozen peas and frozen tortellinis it actually becomes something, especially if you give them milk, too. Not the peas and tortellinis - the kids. Now I get a footnote in The Good Mother Book. Woo-hoo, a good day's work. Then, regarding my other depression cycle skills, I can also speed-talk on the phone, or speed-listen. What's speed-listening? That's talking to Chrystal. She and I are quite alike except that she doesn't obsess sometimes; she does it non-stop. She apologizes all the way through, and then I listen, truly, to the whole monologue. My own kid, Rugelah, also does the monologue, but she is describing the building or the idea she has imagined in all its intricacies and if I am to get into the Good Mother Book for real (a heading, maybe) I am compelled to listen. Her ideas are rather exciting at times, so it's an easy one. Oops - I gotta go now because I am bound to call my neighbor about the fact that some of the rich people where I live wanna tear down lots of regular people trees near the regular people neighborhood so they can save the rich people trees. Can ya see how busy a gal can get? Depression is rough, especially when you use caffeine as your medication of choice.
