Earlier today, Classic was down and I could only get New, and I hated it. I just can't concentrate on it; I tried, I really did.
Sitting here with a glass of wine, waiting for Ammo to get home. It is just he and I this week. And not too much of him! It was a hard day.. I got a call from an old friend whom I hadn't seen in several years. She sounded so upset and desperate that I drove into Dallas to see her. After a couple of hours it was obvious that I really couldn't help; she is severely depressed, I would guess clinically, and maybe even dangerously. The problem is she is very religious and doesn't believe in therapy or medication. Now I'm sitting here thinking what can I do? She has no family, her pastor is telling her to pray and trust in the Lord. (I want to go smack him) She is going to see a doctor at least - I think a lot of this might be physically based- as she's diabetic and overweight. And I made her promise to call me tomorrow. (Or else I'll call her) What else is there? Any more ideas?
It was the first time I've been glad to be able to say to someone that I've been in that dark pit, and I know that it's not one of those places you can just say, "Gee, I'm going to wash my hair, put on make-up and get on with it."
But wow- it's scary to get close and look into that pit again with someone.
