To those days when you want to crawl into a hole and slowly disappear into the air.
I've noticed certain warnings in my actions which tell myself I am stressed. For example, on Halloween, I binge watch ten episodes of The Walking Dead. Binge-watching television is a technique I use to numb my mind psychologically.

Daiko's face when the cat Lucy is sweet, this is a hdr try in CinemaScope and a textured sky,thanks for the visit have a wonderful day.
The circa-1929 Hotel Pawnee in North Platte, Neb. Had I desaturated the color a bit and zapped out the minivan, I’d have had a Hopperesque photo here.
When I first saw this faded landmark in 2012, it appeared to be single-room housing of last resort for older people. (You can just make out the words "retirement hotel" at the bottom of the vertical sign.) A renovation began in 2020, but I’m not seeing anything on the Web about the work being completed.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!
Fading old out buildings and equally losing windmill remind me of the great Depression of the 30's that plagued the Plains. Today large farms flourish but still can find pockets that look like the past.
I'm human, and mistakes happen. I will wait though. I will wait so long. Are we that patient? I know I am stubborn. And I messed up.
Posting pt. 2 tonight
I've been feeling something close to lonely and rejected, but I'm far from. Depression is peeking through again....
Depression in the ground, possibly caused by tin mining subsidence; John Wesley, leader of the Methodist movement, preached here on 18 occasions between 1762 and 1789. Remodelled in memory of Wesley into today's terraced 'amphitheatre' in 1806.
This is a full view of the Hoover Dam with the hydro-electric station at the bottom and a small part of the Lake Mead reservoir behind. The dam is a short drive from Las Vegas, Nevada and is the main source of power for that city. You can clearly see the white ring around Lake Mead which indicates the normal water level. At the time this was shot, the water level was 30 or 40 ft. below normal due to years of persistent drought in the Rocky Mountains that feed the Colorado River.
From Wikipedia—
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam for President Herbert Hoover by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947.
The height of the dam is 726.4 ft (221.4 m) and the length is 1,244 ft (379 m). A total of 3,250,000 cubic yards (2,480,000 cubic metres) of concrete was used in the dam before concrete pouring ceased on May 29, 1935. Core samples taken in 1995 showed that the concrete has continued to cure and harden.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction of the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. I took this shot from the bypass bridge.
I came across a recent photo of someone I know who is depressed from a recent loss of a loved one. The obvious pain in their face was very sad to see.
I started to think of my friends and family and became aware of how many of them that have been or are currently crippled by this illness.
It was a slow wintery day in our shop today and I was cleaning up when I came across this "safety" pin (how ironic!). I took a couple of pliers and started to shape it further. After about 50 photos, I chose this angle.
Knock on wood that we do not fall victim, but don't be disillusioned that any of us are immune to depression.
I've never understood the name depression glass - the beauty of it makes me quite happy 8-) Or is it Mercury glass - as another friend has suggested... time to research this.

I love old recipes. I'm going to give a few of the ones from this book a try.

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place, yeah
Postcard lyrics by Stephen Wilson
I think it's time that I got off the kitchen floor
But is there really any point at all?
Waking up this morning felt the same
Better sleep while life is so mundane
It could have been yesterday that I locked the door
I blocked the windows up so I can't be sure
Now I haven't even got the will to eat
I'm lame and self-obsessed, that I will concede
I'd like to light a cigarette but I cannot
The lighter's dead and the gas has been cut off
I'm the one you always seem to read about
The fire inside my eyes has long gone out
There's nothing left for me to say or do
'Cause all that matters disappeared when I lost you
