I've been doing the best I can on myself. This time of year is hard with Seasonal Affective Disorder. I can get pretty dark. Contract on my job ran up at the start of the new year and I've had trouble finding another similar one. Got a lead today on an other contract position that's much closer by. The commute to the last one negated a lot of the benefits.

The dinner went well enough. She's lost 61 lbs and seemed to imply that she wasn't "eating her feelings" anymore. She is working in a warehouse and a leather working shop. A drastic change from the masters in toxicology and having an impact on the world like she wanted before. It's difficult for me to see her truly happy doing this but she seems determined to be. She said she's barely talking to her father and she gave up the ferrets to a friend. I did my best to smile and put my best self out there but honestly after 45 minutes it was hard for either of us to hold it in. She got some teary eyes and it got to me.

Starting to get the background noise of "get an answer and move on" from the people around me. They are worried I'll waste my time by not moving on.
