let's make the most of this beautiful day

the days get darker and darker, do they not, silent readers?

today has taken a great effort to get through. i had a decent nip of scotch last night and i paid for it today. i could have used a lot more sleep than i got. i really wanted to take a nap today. instead, i have been fighting to keep my eyes open.

leaving a few minutes early today, to visit my new therapist. after tonight, i have one more visit with her, so i hope she can solve all my problems in the remaining 2 hours. i think that this is a reasonable request.

after the shrink, i'm having dinner with my new best friend, uncle burnt-out. so far, he has refused to give me the answers to my problems, but perhaps if i can ply him with enough alcohol he'll open up. i believe this is a reasonable strategy.

i can't believe i'm going to turn 29 in january. i feel like i ought to be turning 50. perhaps i can request to skip a few years, on the basis of a tarnished soul.

well, there's still a ways to go before january arrives. what are the odds i'll make it?

i'll try to remember to leave a parting message before i go. i wouldn't want to leave you in suspense. i am very considerate in that manner.
