Making Progress. Kinda. I Mean, In Comparison...

It was just over two weeks ago that I was informed that my services were no longer required, desired or wanted at my job.  14 days plus a few hours.


For the first time in those two weeks, I have left Pond Central.  Okay, yes, it was to go pick up my mail so I didn't even leave the building, but I was actually outside of my home.  At 315am, practically no chance to bump into other people there.  
I'm having lunch with Ph.Duck and D.Nurse on Thursday, so I've got to get my outside on, and fast.  I need to pick up my packages from Ex-Job... I didn't think it'd be so hard to go back... I want my stuff, but my brain is really rebelling against it.  "Go back to a place that flat out told you they didn't want you anymore?  Are you mad?"

You don't have to answer that.

I also need to get a haircut.  It's about time, the last one was Easter 2018, I'm pretty sure.  Everything is ridiculously shaggy, except where it's knotted or matted together on the right side of my head... that's the side I sleep on.  Barbers, man your shavers!  

But all of those require me to go out.

Depression is a helluva thing.

1 Depression is pretty bad.

Not having a haircut is also pretty bad.  I haven't had one for nearly as long as you.

Get one.  It will help.

2 Master Duck, thou must persevere.  There are too many who enjoy your wit and wisdom.  Plus it sucks to be depressed.....

3 One minute at a time. Sometimes one breath at a time. Micro-managing your time gives you a wonderful sense of focus and achievement.

4 One foot in front of the other, indeed. Or one flap of the wings at a time, pick your metaphor.

5 To heck with them. They have treated you badly, and dusting off your sandals is appropriate and freeing. You are no longer a minion in a not so nice place. Good.
But you also need to rescue your stuff from their smallminded yet nefarious hands.

6 The other thing is that, since you are now unemployed and since you have health problems, your county and city probably have people whose job is to help you out and give you good advice. Also there are NGOs and charities who want to help you with all your legit problems.
The sleep situation, for example -- I imagine somebody can tell you how to set up your mattress for easier egress, and maybe even help you do it. There are tricks with slanty mattress setup, grab bars, all that good stuff. Even if you/others have to set up your bed in another room, that is okay.

7 Also a chance to make progress on the clean-up. Set small goals, easy steps to accomplish, and allow yourself to get caught up in the flow of progress.
