I am about to call it a night after an exhausting day in the office and I was very late home last night. A friend of mine came on line and almost pleaded me to drive the 10 miles to see him. That was at 5.30 and I left his house at gone 1.00am this morning. He is depressed and he needed to talk. Him and his wife are struglling, shes miscarried three times, they have a beautiful daughter but he wont admit that its got to him. We just sat and sat and talked all evening and I think we are making some progress over loads of coffee. At least they were not arguing and according to an email from him this evening, have not all day and even went out for dinner at a local pub which is a first. As I left into very cold air , his wife hugged me and he did as well. Was not sure what to do - men dont hug - but I think the talk worked. we plan on a lot more and what seems ironic - they are looking up to me as someone who is coping daily with depression and even though I take anti depressants to help me - I am coping. I am the last person to look up to on this side of things. Am gonna invite them over for dinner next weekend. I had to be up at 6.00 this morning to be in the office for 7 and its now 20.45. My head is buzzing with tiredness and exhaustion and at times today,I could have slept wherever I sat. The tiredness is also caused by working about 20 odd days without much a break and had decided to work tomorrow. My wife pulled the brakes on me this evening and ordered a rest for sunday. I am no good like she said if I goto sleep whilst driving and - well....
So, I am sat here with an excellent glass of Californian rose wine, I hate wine but this is just brilliant - its from a bottle of
Ernst and julio Gallo Sierra Valley 2002 rose wine. white grenache.
Not heavy at all, going down well with Carol and I and I feel the bottle may not last.
Whats your tipple then?
