Just a social thread. What are people up to?

I'll admit it--I just want to get e-mail.

I'm bored, but trying not to be. I'm looking for a new pdoc, not that I think s/he will help me, because I don't respond to antidepressants anymore. I didn't respond to ECT, which is usually a last resort treatment. All the ECT did was blitz my memory. Waiting for new stuff to come on the market, or maybe deep brain stimulation.

I'm going to volunteer at a health library after I go thru orientation, in about 10 days. (I have a master's degree in library and information science that I've never used.) I started an exercise class with an old friend. Sadly, that friend is moving away at the end of August.

I also started my old hobby of sewing. I have so much fabric it's overwhelming me. I made my 14-yr-old son a pair of boxers out of bright blue cloth sprinkled with pink roses. Very folkloric looking--I love it, but don't wear that color combination. I've had that fabric for at least 20 years! Does anyone else here sew? I'm nervous about my current project--I'm making something for my friend who's moving away. She wants a salwar kamiz (I'm not sure how to spell it--it's that tunic and pants combo that Indian women sometimes wear). Anyway, I have a pattern for one of those, so I said I'd make her one. What did I get myself into?

My kids are home for the summer, and I worry about them. They have no friends. They both went to summer school, but it's over for my son and almost over for my daughter. My daughter and I don't communicate very well, even though we love each other. She inherited my depression and is miserable. No self esteem. She's been out of high school for a year and is just floundering. My son has been diagnosed with ADHD.

Okay, now it's your turn. What are you doing?
