I feel like I've been on a long trip. I haven't felt like posting in awhile. I guess sometimes it's better to lay low and let things happen. The deep depression I've experienced in the past seems to be over. I'm exercising again (God, if I don't I'm going to balloon to 400 lbs.!) and feel better than I've felt in years. The drug use has subsided, although I did have a short relapse back in June. I am optimistic about the future and can even handle it if Obama is elected. I am not happy with the way the Bush administration has handled things the past few years. I admit this now. Maybe a change would be good for the country. I like McCain generally, but I wonder if he really has a chance. His age and the Republican Bush baggage seem to be insurmountable. We'll see. Get out and vote or you'll have no reason to bitch come November!
