When in doubt, write a post...

Well, at least I've got the language right and not every word is underlined in red any longer. My Mac speaks American English now and that is a real relief. Dutch may be a lot like English, but not enough to have the exact same spelling. It was a bit confusing to write a post and to see al that red and to try to see if I had made any mistakes, and yes, even I make them. 

Every time I use the Mac, I learn a few more things and I get smarter about it all the time. The one thing I am doing now, is cleaning it up, and it is in the process of moving nearly 10,000 items to the wastebasket. That should clear up some space and the one thing I notice is how silently it runs compared to my old PC. I can't even tell that it is running and I can keep it in the sleeping mode without worrying that it is wasting a lot of energy. 

Both my mental and physical health are continuing to improve. As a matter of fact, I can hardly tell that there was anything wrong with them just a short time ago. Imagining that I was emotionally a wreck as little as two days ago is hard to do, yet it is true. I thought I was the most miserable person in the universe, although I am sure I was not. I am certain that there are people in worse shape than I was, but everything is relative. It depends on how much you are used to. 

I am determined to never feel like that again and I will never reduce the amount of anti-depressants to that degree again, unless I am completely without common sense and make the same mistake twice. I also hope that my psychiatrist will be able to keep me from doing this should I ever have that foolish notion again in the future. I can't do much about getting the flu, except that I think I may not have been eating as healthy as I should have, and that may have contributed to me getting sick. Eating take-out food two times in a row is not such a good idea.

Isn't it great that today is Sunday? I've got a bunch of chores to do that I neglected while I was sick. I'm sure I will have the energy to do them now. Whether or not I feel like doing them is another matter. I think I would like it better if somehow I could reward myself for doing them. Like have an ice cream sundae, or something, but my body would probably protest at that. Oh well...

I'm thrilled you are feeling better! Also that you have a Mac. I wouldn't be without mine.
Have a great Sunday and hoping you are not being blown away and drenched as we are right now!
