I slept around midnight-1 am and woke at 8 am. Normal sleep hours, whoa!

It was early enough that Jon and I could go take a walk, eat out for breakfast (mmm I had a 'crepomelette', with spinach and cheese, and fresh fruit and multigrain toast at Cora's) and poke around at the game shops.

Games that (still) need buying:
- Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) (which as I said I have to order, arg!)
- The Dark Spire (DS) (I keep mentioning it, but it's 'cause I really want it!)
- Puzzle Quest Galactrix (DS)
- Also I'm interested in getting Odin Sphere, (Greatest Hits version) but it's kinda optional-ish.

And husband wants these:
- Ace Combat 4 (PS2, we saw it for really cheap used!)
- Street Fighter 4 (PS3, but for some reason it is IMPOSSIBLE to find the PS3 version right now!)
- Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume (DS)

Today I'm playing Wardragon (finally... after that one day where I got totally upset because I made a mistake no one cared to point out until hours after I went along with it, we hadn't gotten another opportunity to play for three weeks-ish). And I'm of course writing RPoL posts, but between downloading Sims 2 content. Again. :D I have to tide over till June when Sims 3 comes out (why does it come out only a couple months before I start school? sad sad me!) so I'm going to get more Sims 2 play in this week, for sure!

I wouldn't even be posting RPoL right now if my favorite Sims 2 download site wasn't incredibly slow right now. Gah. I'm mostly posting for GMPCs, too. I feel like slowing my post rate a bit... unfortunately combats take time, and I'm caught in a pretty epic one in Five Coils right now (an Abyssal, a Dragon-Blood that can use Celestial Sorcery, and an Earth Dragon Style master). On the other hand I've only got a single post to do for Outcastes, and updating the Academy is easy. I'm doing a time skip and a student meet-and-greet event. :)

I don't really have anything else to say, much. o.O I guess that lately a lot of my turmoil happens outside the scope of what I feel like writing regularly. I have little moments of doubt and larger crises day by day. I could talk about how I'm worried about being good enough at French by Fall, or keeping up with my exercises, or trying to keep my RPoL postings to a regular but non-obsessive level, or my latest angst concerning what my parents think of me. I go through another deep dive into depression, and I come back up fighting, ready to try again. But it's tiring to rehash those feelings over and over again.

It's also pretty much impossible to set a goal for overcoming depression completely. I have a concrete day for getting back to college, but controlling my depression and anxiety is something that will be a daily thing, that will be integrated into every part of my life. Every day I can get myself up and get something positive done is a victory (something which I often need to be reminded of, as well, when I'm overwhelmed by how much there is to do, or how little progress I think I've made).

Well, here's hoping my next journal post won't be too many days from now. :O
