The current no-work scenario is proving to be a major<\/em><\/strong> downer. We\u2019re trying to tidy the home a bit, and sift through stuff to take to a car boot sale tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even that is massively depressing, as I don\u2019t have anything much of real value, at least that I want to part with, nor do we have the wherewithal to set up a stall at the car-boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything feels like such hard work. And not at all worth the effort. I\u2019m at a very, very, very low ebb. And whilst I\u2019m mostly tee-total these days, I just bought this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poss a bad idea whilst hyper-depressed?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019m in the fuck it all zone, to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some time later\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the plan remains to do Skylark car boot tomorrow. Which means an appallingly early start. And I don\u2019t really have either the stuff to sell, or the means to display it. I\u2019m actually a bit worried it might be a waste of time, energy, and poss\u2019 even money\u2026 if I don\u2019t recoup what it costs to get in as a \u2018trader\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve got some books. Some DVDs. Some DIY type tools, and some model kits. That\u2019s it! And not very much in any of those categories. But I\u2019m getting desperate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If work – as in Amazon Flex – doesn\u2019t come good very <\/em>soon, I\u2019ll have to sign on, as unemployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s soooo hard to do anything. And I literally mean anything<\/em>, when you\u2019re as depressed as I am. Motivation disappears. And is replaced by exhaustion, lethargy, torpor, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa has very stoically tried to help me rally my spirits. And I feel guilty towards her, on account of my implacable misery. She has even managed to lift them a little here and there. But the my mind goes back to the harsh fiscal reality of current circs, and I\u2019m right back in the doldrums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped outside St Wendreda\u2019s, earlier, after scavenging for cardboard boxes (for the boot sale), and it was beautifully sunny. But as pleasant as it was, it didn\u2019t really make a dent in my depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching what is allegedly the very last Grand Tour instalment, One For The Road<\/em>, distracted me from my blues a bit. We\u2019ve had a bath and come to bed now. I\u2019m going to watch the last 30 minutes of Jezza and co now. Hopefully help me to decompress a bit before snoozeville?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
