Wednesday in New Diary

I am still feeling sluggish in the morning. I was up early took my meds then went back to bed. I do not like this feeling of being tired all the time. But it is better than being depressed. I feel fairly good in that department. On a scale of one to five I would rate the depression as a one today. Also, I would rate the anxiety as a one. The med must be working. I just do not like the sleep feeling

I am down at my girlfriend’s apartment. She has been baking cookies all month. She just finished the last batch today. She called me and said she made up a cookie tray for me. She does this every year and she is such a wonderful baker.

Anyways like I said I started reading this new book The Reckoning by David Halberstam. It is about the auto industry in the 1970s. It starts out when Detroit was still king and still making huge cars with v8 engines that got thirteen miles to the gallon. Then there was the oil embargo of 1973. Price of oil sky rocketed. All of a sudden foreign cars with good gas mileage became more and more popular. Detroit took a major hit.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been doing much reading. I just couldn’t get into the book. Been too sleepy and anxiety has been through the roof. I hope to get back to it today.
