Late catching back up...depression has been rather unpleasant lately.
No matter, coffee at hand.

On the bus, with my second mug of coffee.

PJ, sorry you are struggling with depression. This seems to have been going on for quite a while recently, is there anything specific that is troubling you? I hope you have a professional you can speak with. For what it's worth you have been inspirational on SR.

Snow's a comin' to my part of the hundred acre wood! and lots of it. We were excited for a snow day but then remembered that most of us can still work from home.

Happy hump day!
On the bus!!

Tonks, Sao? As in Harry Potter?

Snow already Dragon? Weren't you just enjoying some nice weather?

Best wishes battling your depression PJ. As someone said, seek help if it gets to be too much. You don't win points trying to tough it out on your own.

On the bus, coffee in hand.

Happy riding all!

I just love everything about this post, thanks for the smiles.

The part about remembering a number while I tried to write it down?

I was practically disabled by the time I quit drinking. Sitting in AA meetings in the first week sober and trying to "talk" at them? I realized I could not put two thoughts together and if I had tried to stay sober alone at home I probably wouldn't have understood that. Really scary.

On the bus. Thank you all for the reminders of why I'll never drink again.

Keep coming back, ya'll.

Nice to "see" you Sunpengwn.

Glad we’re sober on the sober bus.

Best thing I ever did…getting sober.

No snow here, it's unseasonably mild for mid November. It always seems to be 'unseasonably mild' these days.

Suze, I had a huge collection of Matchbox vehicles when I was a kid. Would probably be worth a small fortune these days. Along with the boxes of baseball cards I threw out when I left home.

On the bus, coffee in hand.

Happy riding all!

Check out "St Martin's Little Summer", a period of milder weather in early November around the feast day of St Martin, November 11.

There's also a "St Luke's Little Summer" around October 18, St Luke's Day.

Much wisdom and weather lore in old traditions.

It's been St Martins summery here too. I'm not complaining, winter makes me nervous.

On the bus.
