Another day in the past. Yesterday was pretty shitty to be honest. Not that anything bad really happened more because NOTHING happened. I have said this before - hell I repeat myself all the time, what's the point of apologizing for it when everything is the same and of course I am going to repeat myself - but working from home is not the blessing people think it is. My friend recently received two job offers at the same time. When he was weighing out the pros and coms he counted working from home as a pro. I had to remind him of the downsides of working from home - your house becomes your office, no social interaction, no separation between work life and home life, the same four walls every day all day, etc. He had never looked at it that way. Yeah, that was my day yesterday. I have been home now, what three or four weeks? Same room, same spot, same position all day every day. It wears on your after a while.

But hey I have an appointment with a new psychiatrist today. Hopefully they can help me. What I want from this person is guidance and help in accepting my role and place in life right now. I don't want pills, I don't want platitudes. I want techniques on how to make the most of my situation without going crazy.

Like I did yesterday. All day in the house. All day in the same spot. I feel like Uncle Charlie from Willy Wonka. I want to get out of this bed and sing and dance. But I can't. I am trapped. I think when I get back from trip next week I am going to make a change in the house. I am going to rearrange the area where the desktop computer is and make it more of a work area. Just to force me to get off this couch and in a place where it feels more like work than being at home. This is something I am going to discuss with the doctor today.

Kid had class yesterday so I didn't see her for most of the day. She was gone from like 1-9. Which didn't really help. After 'work' I watched a movie on Netflix. Lo - about a guy who summons a demon to help him rescue his girlfriend who has been taken by demons. Interesting movie. Very low budget but not in a bad way. Just small cast, one set kind of way. It almost felt like a play. I won't ruin it, but it's kind of worth watching just for the novelty factor. It was pretty interesting.

Still ripping DVDs. I am totally focused on doing music dvds first and got through all of my Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd discs. Almost done with Smashing Pumpkins. I am doing music first because these are the kind of movies you can put on in the background at a party and have some music going plus the bonus of the visuals. About three more and I will be done with music. After music I am doing 'low budget' movies. Basically movies that no one would miss if they were boxed up.

Speaking of that, I am going over to my friend's house today after the doctor's appointment and loading up on his digital movie collection. Between the Disney DVDs I burned over the weekend and his digital collection, I should have a very sizable Disney library.

I did try and reach out to two people on OKC yesterday. No responses. What a shock.

Hey it's time to work. Let me just move over two inches...
