Changes

Younger daughter (11) is away for the week on her school French trip. It seems strange without her already - quieter, calmer, and also somehow empty.

I'm fighting my way through tough times just now. The gaps where I have to cope alone seem threatening and at times impossible to traverse. I'm weary of fighting and striving. It must be great to be someone who does not deal with depression or the possibility of depression on a daily basis.

Tonight we are going to see Guys and Dolls at our local theatre. That will provide a little oasis for me, which has to be good. The rest of the week is full of appointments and commitments, many of which can't come soon enough.

My other task for today is to phone my dentist's practice and make an appointment for my last piece of treatment in this cycle. Given that I am quite phobic about the dentist, that seems a major challenge.
