On the issue of Co-dependence: So, my neice Catilena had to have tubes put in her ears the other day. While they were at the hospital, I guess Kim had a red mark on her face and so, someone asked my brother what was going on. He said 'nothing'. Whoever it was said 'Strike one!' and then pulled Kim away and talked to her. They talked her into taking a break from Neal. Now, believe me when I say that Neal is not the greeatest person, nor the nicest. He may yell at Kim and swear at her, but he knows better than to hit her. Especially right before they went to the hospital and were going to be surrounded by family and doctors and nurses. Dad taught him better than that and he would bust Neal if he ever did that. But Kim's family has to do everything together and they're so not used to Kim being away from them, even after her living with Neal for years, that they'd rather make something up in their heads and convince Kim of it just to have her with them for a little while. I mean, it's one thing being a close family, but these people are so co-dependent, it's hard to believe any of the kids have moved out and have families. Hopefully Kim will come to her senses before too long and get back home soon.
On Depression: Now, I really don't know why, but I've been depressed a lot lately. I know, you usually don't have a reason. It's really started to effect my days. I'm getting rather annoyed by it.
On Muses: Mine up and left a while ago. I'm trying to get them back. I was trying to write some songs/poetry today. Didn't come up with a word, but trying is a start. I swear, I need to get back to my writing. Anita and Karl are about to explode! I'm going to start actively trying to write on that again. (I promise, Anita!) The depression is effecting my ability to write and my inability to write is adding to my depression. It's a vicious cycle and it needs to end!
