Labor Day

It was a tough day and a good day today.

I had some backsliding as far as the depression goes, but the fiance and I had a great visit with his best friend-lasagna, The Godfather, and cookies!

In other news, yesterday the fiance and I hit up the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe as well as the rodeo. We ate some fair food favorites, surveyed lots of farm animals, canned goods, and crafts and had a blast watching the rodeo.

I think my favorite part of our fair experience was the date-y-ness of the afternoon. Driving home in the line of fair traffic I was deliriously happy and grateful to have met my fiance and even though I had to fight off the urge to hide my soft-softs, I grabbed his hand, kissed his knuckles and actually said aloud, "I'm really glad I met you."

It isn't too often that we say such things aloud-maybe a hand squeeze or a smile as a shallow substitute-but it felt really good to tell him that I was thankful for him and know that he really did get the message.

Anywho, more on my depressive struggles another day-it's about time for some relaxing and self-help at the end of this roller coaster day!
