It's March now, and in the northern hemisphere at least, spring is around the corner. So, let's discuss it!
----
When DST returns to my area on the 9th, I will feel more energized. Plus, I have SakuraCon in Seattle to look forward to in mid-late April, during Easter weekend (April 18-20, so five days after I turn 27)!

Okay, well let's see.

I've been working on lessening my depression. I go to outpatient rehab 4x/week and (non-religious) AA meetings on Thursday and Saturday (this week will be my first time).

I'm enrolled in a few Meetup groups and plan to start going to their meetings.

I have a therapist who I see every two weeks. I went this morning and it looks okay so far.

Once the depression is truly lifted I can get back to writing short stories again, maybe even get back into producing music. (I need instruments for that, though).

^I wish you strength in your battle against your depression and getting over your adiction redrobin62 :)

I'll just be turning my world upside down and on its head all over again. I'll be moving to Washington at the start-ish of April. I didn't think it would be in my best interest to move to the Spokane area during the winter while all of my warm clothes are still only adequate for Californian cold weather, and barely so for Oregonian cold weather >_>

I'm planning to further work on improving my self and finding a way around my disability so I can go back and finish college, go back to work, and maybe make my way toward Seattle eventually.

^Of course I won't get much of all of that done this Spring, but I see moving to Washington as one of the first of many steps.

I like looking at the flowers that are in full bloom. I also like all the pretty, psychedelic colours of Easter. I also like it when the days get longer and the temperatures get warmer. I'll also be going to workshops to help me prepare me for work.

I'd be glad when all the snow melts & the temp is warm enough for me to wear shorts out without being hot. I'd do more walking then which I need to do more of so I won't gain weight.

Here in the Neth, it's almost as though spring has come early this year. Temperatures have been mild throughout. As early as February, lady bugs were already emerging from their hidey-holes, and right now there's cherry trees blossoming all over town. So yeah, I'm ready for spring.

I can't wait for Spring, so that the weather can warm up so I can wear T-shirts and shorts. I am also looking forward to going on walks and bike rides so I can lose some more weight.

Also, I have an aunt whose tree has flowers that bloom every spring, so I am looking forward to seeing that as well.

Maybe the increase in daylight hours may help with my depression. Only time will tell.

Spring is in the air. The winter was a soft one so my cat already has a bare bum due to his tick allergy. I hope he don't get to many scabs this year. He spends hours sitting by the mole hole waiting for his moment.
The death toll so far is 3 mice and 1 bird. I'm hoping no birds will nest in the hedge this year. Last year he managed to rob a nest of blackbirds. Took me ages to figure out they were. the were so young. I'll never have another cat after this one, I'm going back to chickens...
