VOYAGE OF CONFUSION

What is there to lose? Nothing it seems! Feel so terrible – old washed up, over the hill etc. (almost ready to get budgie, in fact) that can’t believe all women of same age feel this bad. Just isn’t possible as country seems to be functioning ok – wouldn’t be able to if everyone felt this bad. Must have serious illness. Have definitely decided to log life events pertaining only to present condition. Maybe keeping log of relevant activities will sort out confusion. At least think am confused but, there again – maybe not. Will talk about friends etc. in journal, but won’t make any reference to family matters – except cats as are therapeutic. Will also keep contents from all professionals (except for herbalist who is treating chronic fatigue and IBS). Have stocked up on ginseng and bought job lot of St. John’s Wort in case rumour is true. Have put icons of journal on computer desktop – positioned in best direction.

Well, here goes!
