muppets take manhattan
This morning in my snoozey daze I heard a piece on NPR about Muppets! Apparently there's a Christmas special coming up this season, and talk about a new series on Fox. I can't be more delighted. I never got enough of 'em back in the day, and after hearing that there were two lost pilots, I'd love to get my hands on them. I personally identify with Miss Piggy, would love to have the aged wit of Statler and Waldorf, but I'm more like Kermit in that I'm the glue of all around me.
Yeesh, my blog is collapsing for lack of entries...must add more. I just haven't had the time or the content to add, as I've just been working, eating and resting. However, I'm doing rather well these days, thanks to the miracles of modern pharmacology. I'm going to "come out" as a newly medicated person on mood-moderating drugs. When I started the new temp job, I fell into my third pit of depression preceded by a euphoric high, followed by a period of rage. Realizing that some day I might find myself in the wrong situation with the wrong state of mind, I took my friends' advice and went to see the doctor about it.
The medication has kicked in, and I'll have to say I'm glad to have gone forward with the decision. I'm not keen on medicating everything and think Americans are too medicated, but the situation calls for it. The real cure is a stable job and moving forward from this period of stasis, but until then I'm going to stay medicated until things clear up. No more decents into pits for now, and best of all no rages that take over when I'm driving my car or dealing with rude people on the Metro. I was starting to be mean to my friends too. I like feeling this way, and I now know that this is what my mind is like under normal situations.

Seriously, I highly recommend it if you find you are having problems with depression. Tawk to your doctor of psychiatrist (the latter is better).
