Daily Song (right-click): Escape the Fate - Cellar Door
This may have to go on certain of my writing playlists. (Not playlists I listen to while I write, mind you. More like fanmixes I make for myself.)

Academichic: Dress Your Best Week
I'd like to participate in that, but IDK whether I'll have the spoons.* I could try picking out my clothes ahead of time and writing the entry in advance, I guess. I've been meaning to assemble fabulous outfits more often (inspired partly by one of my coworkers and partly by the underutilized parts of my closet), but, ugh, effort. This kind of thing is usually the first to get pushed aside.

When it comes to picking out clothes in advance, there's also the problem of Boston's highly fickle weather. I can't just glance at a forecast and create five outfits for a work-and/or-class-week! I have to have backup outfits: what if it rains, what it it's suddenly and briefly hot or cold, etc?

* I'm still trying to figure out the extent to which I'm comfortable with conceptualizing my depression as a disability. I often feel like I am too functional to really count. :\

I know what you mean. It feels so strange to think of myself as disabled even though I technically am - I've got a disability pension and while it's mostly due to my back part of it is due to the depression. I feel like I'm not sick "enough" and it's hard to remember that I'm only as functional as I am because of the meds I take.

*hugs* I wouldn't be making the connections at all, except that I stumbled into a bunch of disability blogs. And it's hard for me to tell sometimes how much of my current abilities are due to my meds. :(
