Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way

I found the best, in my opinion, website and related forum for depression medication; it's a witty, dry-humored site combining clinical information with ancedotal evidence. Of which the second is the most important to me since the micro-text package insert that companies call information is generally useless.

I actually found it a while ago, meant to sign up but never did. I changed that on Monday; I signed up and made my introductory post with the intention of making another at a later date. Today, I went back to do so and found this:

I'm really hoping this is the result of some random redirect but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's my Murphy's Law field at work.

More Mood Enhancers

Since I could really use a couple as I'm spending the majority of my day ridding my house of fleas, a process which involves lots of vacumning, tossing of dog toys and bedding and infinite loads of laundry.

It's not the cleaning that is getting me down, it's R. looking at the spot where his bed used to be (tossed, got a new one, waiting for the flea pill to kick in) and then at me with those sad Boston Terrier eyes.

This video, starring a very rhythmic bird, helped a little.

sometimes i hate this so much

Every rare once in a while I realize exactly how complicated maintaining a functioning life has become...taking multiple doses of medicine multiple times throughout the day, remembering what I can and cannot casually say about my outside life at work, keeping at the exercise and artwork that is a vital support to my mental health, regulating how much time I spend running around during the weekend...and I despair of getting through the rest of it without ending it early.

Usually I just do what is needed without thinking much about it. About 98% of the time. But every now and then that 2% rolls around and I just want to lay down and suspend my life for a long, long, long time.
