Should've seen this coming.

These last few days have been an object lesson in why I need to make a yearly investment in a lunar phases wall calendar. One of those "boy was that obvious" moments - and after the exact same thing happened last month at the same time, I really should have seen this last depressive patch coming. Next month I'll know, and do what I can to take steps to avoid falling into that pit again. Plenty of exercise, abject reminders of my self-worth, aggressively networking for weeks beforehand.

Baking, too. Yesterday I used up a little tin of chili peppers lounging in the cupboard and some cheddar I had lying in the fridge to make savory scones, and they came out delicious. Maybe next month I'll make some yeast bread, and use my hands to help my head. There's nothing like bread to make a day worthwhile.

Thank you for bearing with me. Next month, I'll pay more attention, and do what I can to compensate.
