I'm doing a scifi Saturday today.

Due to the snow, we're just watching many movies and telly series on DVD and Bluray. It's too cold to contemplate anything but hot drinks, soup and a warm house.

Good times.

Nothing says Scifi Friday more than the retro stylings of a classy silver catsuit!

Back to the duvet with a good book and a diet coke for me now and maybe a movie. Or more sleep ;)

More often than not, when the mornings are light, this is my view.

Shattered like a glass elephant.

For anyone that knows Harlan Ellison, I'm taking the piss a little there and riffing on his immortal short, Shattered like a Glass Goblin.

Why?

Well, cool things are made of glass for a start. The foremost being Mr Glass. Then there's the stuff your drinks come in. Again, glass.

OK, there is a point here. The last time I was in therapy (circa 1999), my therapist asked me to "name" my depression. Back then I gave it something trite like "bastard" but as I have gotten older, the condition has become more and more off limits. People accept it is there but they do not acknowledge it. Or want to acknowledge it. Hence, the "elephant in the room". In this case, the fragility of discourse has rendered it in glass. It is not enough to even acknowledge its existence but the mere recognition of it and dealing with it (as an outsider), renders it transparent. And breakable.

So, this time around....the glass elephant.

Today's photo.

Appropriate. And cheerful.

Still not great and have been signed off work for the next three weeks with a change of meds.

Duvet is still captivating me but trying to think of good times and places, in this case it's Manhattan where we spent our 16th wedding anniversary last year and a nice segue into my chosen media of the day.

Ack. Feeling all of my 40 years today. Things haven't been that great of late with a slight spike in my depression so.....trying to distract myself and waiting for a call from my physician/G.P.

So, a person that always cheers me up. Back to the duvet for me now.
