While I promised to discuss the house this time, I am more inclined to talk about herbal remedies. For the past several months I have been very depressed and last time I attributed it to a mid-life crisis. Turns out it is something close--low testosterone. I have been taking a herbal supplement - Tribulus Terrestris. After a couple of weeks, I was feeling much better. I went from waves of depression washing over me while I was driving to and from work, to actually feeling calm and collected. According to some sources on the web, you should take the supplement for a few weeks and then stop and then take it a few more weeks. I haven't gotten to the cycle part yet, but I am very happy that I am feeling so much better prior to the holidays.

While I have been actually depressed until recently, a lot of the things I have been contemplating still seem like good ideas. I still want to unclutter my life, I still want companionship, and I still want to quit my job--just not as strongly. I have decided my new year's resolution will be to unclutter my life and try to not let work interfere so much. I have tried this before with little success, but I am hoping the last couple of months will help me remember why I want to do these things. My big problem is my propensity to procrastinate. That will be one of the top things on my list-dealing with procrastination. I am not exactly sure how to do this, but I hope to figure it out.

My next priority will be to finish fixing up my house on the outside. I probably have mentioned this before, but I recently replaced all the windows and now I need to have the roof fixed and I would like to replace the siding. After those two things, I won't feel rushed to do the rest of things that need to be done. I still may sell the house and get a condo or something where the maintenance is mostly done by someone else. I am not very mechanical and have a hard time fixing things myself. My other option would be to find a woman who could do all those things for me.

Until next time
