Diary of a Depression Week! (EXCITING!)

7-23-12

I wake up at 9am on the dot to bots kicking the door. I get up, and check online shit after feeding the critters. I get the good news that all the cards I did for the DC 52 card set have been officially approved for inclusion my DC, so I am in! Great news! I update blog and do other random online catching up.  Shortly thereafter, I get the email that my new cards for the new set have been approved as well, so I can post some and reveal that I am on the new STAR WARS card set!!!! HUUUGE deal for me! I pack them up and get them ready to ship back. We all head to Mcds for lunch and then back home to relax. I spend most of the day penciling Anna 2 pages until around 10:30, the new SABO podcast starts! I stay on that till 2am or so when I log off and pass out dead exhausted.

I get up, check email, play rounds of Songpop and basically relax and waste my day away. I play a few rounds of cards with the bots and we watch some Netflix. The wife comes home from work and a doctor’s appointment and I head to Fed Ex to drop off my Star Wars cards. Then I head to work for a 6-2am shift. I leave, drop my co-worker off and head back home. I pass out exhausted.

I wake up at 9 to bots kicking the door. I check online shit and play some rounds of Songpop (my new addiction). The wife heads to sell some of my Cds/DVDs for extra scratch, while I cook up some spaghetti. We sit and watch the new AVGN while eating hearty. She gets ready and heads to work and I sit and do online shit all day. I also finally sit and watch an episode of Star Blazers, which turns out to be really cool. But I probably won’t have time to watch the series before Netflix takes it off after the 1^st of the month. After a while, we retire to the bedroom where I get Netflix to work on our TV in there. Bots and I watch a few cartoons and then mom comes home. She gets him to go to bed and I watch a couple episodes of The Twilight Zone. I pass out around 1am.

I wake up at 8:40 to the bots alarm and check online shit and update blog. The wife eventually wakes up and we head to Grand Ledge Family Fare for groceries. We get back and I make Tacos for lunch and put away all the food. The wife showers after we watch some videos on cinemassacre.com and I get a card in the mail for $50 from my credit card company (YAY! A BONUS! MUUUUCH NEEDED!). The wife heads to work and I mostly just hang around the house and play with bots. I do end up cleaning the back hall closet out. (Exciting I know) Most of the day I end up doing not much of nothing, and I feel guilty of it. I need to get work going but just feel a bit of a pause in me. Hopefully I will get back in the saddle over the weekend. The wife comes home as I am putting the kid to bed while watching Twilight Zone episodes. Then we hit the hay around midnight.

7-27-12

I wake up from a nightmare at 8:30, and get up to check email. I spend most of the morning inking Anna 2 pages and before long I am close penciling and inking panels that are quite tedious. (I need this day to happen!) In between that, I take a break and cook pork chops and taters for the family. The wife heads to work and I continue to pencil and ink. I finish the Anna pages and then did some promo pics for the webcomic while watching Tool’s Maynard James Keenan on Joe Rogan live. Then I cleaned the living room really good. Then I watch TV with bots and he passes out. I pass out shortly after that to Twilight Zone episodes.

7-28-12

The day is pretty much a blur because I go through a nice round of depression. Uneventful and nothing more to say.

7-29-12

Still going through depression session but by the time I get up and head to the day job, I am feeling a bit better. I think the fresh air and actually, you know, leaving the apartment to get some sun kinda helped me. J I work my 7-2am shift and get home around 2:30 am and pass out hardcore.

7-30-12

I get up with bots at 8:30, and check online shit. Then nap on the couch till 11:30, while wife plays with the kid. We get up and I take the bots to Mcds cause they got spongebob toys in the happy meal. We head to Preuss Pets and feed the Kaoi fish and do some window shopping. Then back home where I check online stuff and learn there’s a third Hobbit movie coming! Awesome!!! I feel my depression subsiding, which is good. I didn’t want to go through another week or a month of crippling depression. Feels good.

I play with the bots for an hour in his room, just spending time together. Then I get ready and head to work. The wife isn’t into me going, and tries to convince me to quit. I’d love to, but there’s no way around what we gotta get done financially. So I head to work with sadness. Work my 6-2am shift and get home 30 minutes later after dropping off my co-worker. I stay up a bit applying to jobs online and trying to score some new freelance work. Anything to help me get this debt taken care of and we can move forward. I pass out around 4am.

7-31-12

I wake up at 8:20 with the bots, dead tired. I made a TO DO list the previous night at work, so I start doing things, checking them off one by one. I download some new Joey Diaz stuff and listen to that while working. The bots is being very needy, so I don’t get much done that I REALLY need to do. But minor things that have been creeping up, I take care of quickly. After the wife comes home we head to Kroger and we get back. I take a 2 hour nap and wake up somewhat late. I head to pickup my co-worker and work a 6-2am shift. I get out and head home, passing out to Twilight Zone episodes at 3am.
