Who cares?

Sometimes, often, like today, and ten days ago, and last month...
Sometimes I wonder how can I fight my depression if my "me-time" is non existent. And actually when in my "me-time" I want to do absolutely nothing bit staring at the ceiling or at the sky crying out loud because Alberto is not here with me.
I also often wonder if that kind of "me-time" is indeed my depression, and if I could fight it engaging in diy hobbies, writing, reading, knitting, sewing, socialising, doing home chores, spending time for burocracy and bills, tending to the garden, caring for my mum.
Usually the doubt fades away because I am forced to do some of the thing I mentioned - specifically mum, home, burocracy.
In the end I do what my sense of responsibility calls me to do. But all the time (even when it comes to hobbies) it's not what I want to do (which is... staring and crying).
So here I am, wondering again... But this time with another thought crossing my mind - who cares? I certainly don't. Deep down I feel that all these brooding, all these feelings, my whole life, will (sooner or later) be over and I will stop staring, crying and wondering.

I am older than I'd like to be

A nice stream of sunny days had been a "cure-all" for my neck pains.
One of my dear friends gave me money to be spent on those little things I've postponed for ages (i.e. new eyeglasses).
I finally found pleasure in reading books again. 

But then... Bad luck struck!

Stomach ache returned, and this time it cannot be gallbladder problems because I have no gallbladder anymore.
And my right hand wrist is starting to suffer the same pains of my left writs (due to a mild arthrosis)... and me being right-handed this time is really annoying!
Finally... heat flashes have worsened - now I have at leaat ten/fifteen per day, lasting over 5 minutes each.

So... Winter is coming, for the weather and for me.

I crave the silence

Another long, sleepless night is coming.
The noise of my mom"s electric fan will accompany me until dawn and beyond.

Every single night is the same and that's why I crave the silence of my own bed, where the only sound I hear is the soft murmur of crickets.
