Whining and moping ahoy

emerald_skiesRandom observation of the day: I've gotten really distressingly good at pretending to be happy/normal in spite of how crappy I feel inside. Funnier still, I'm pretty good at this in spite of the fact that I'm an absolutely crap liar otherwise.
My sincerest apologies for letting so much time go by without an update. I promise I'm physically okay, I've just been putting all my energy into staying relatively functional which, in turn, doesn't leave a whole lot of drive to update this thing. Not to mention that I just haven't really had anything to report. To sum up the last week or so:
- Thanksgiving dinner with La (Extended) Famille was equal parts depressing and chock full of schadenfreude. Dad's side of the family is full of snooty (by varying degrees) rich people who have all kinds of drama going on with each other but they're too well-bred and repressed to say anything about it so much backhanded shit abounds as a result.
- Went to a local renaissance festival with La Famille and generally enjoyed the people-watching. For instance, I saw a guy in a full Star Wars storm trooper outfit who was also wearing a kilt. No joke. Plus a lot of Assassin's Creed outfits, which is probably the new fad (it was Jack Sparrow costumes in previous years).
- Spent the rest of the time doing as little as humanly possible in an attempt to recharge my batteries a bit
See what I mean? Not a whole lot to report.
In the mean time, any advice from those of y'all with similar mood disorders (bipolar, depression, etc.) would be sincerely appreciated. It's gotten bad enough a couple of times now that I've honest-to-God considered drinking again, potential negative interactions with my meds be damned. It would probably help me sleep better, if nothing else -- none of this sleep-constantly-and-still-wake-up-exhausted bullshit.
Yes, I know I should call my shrink, I'm working up to that
Aaand that's enough whining about myself. I hope things are going okay for y'all at least (I may not have posted much recently but I do make an effort to read through my flist each day anyway).

P.S. - Can someone please explain Cyber Monday to me? I've heard of Black Friday about a million times over the years, but I've never heard of Cyber Monday until this year.

Well, some people take the "Renaissance" part of the Renaissance festival as more of a guideline than an actual rule. I've seen everything from steam punks to pirates (Jack Sparrow included) to a guy who shows up every year in a full Star Wars Storm Trooper outfit (different guy from the one wearing the kilt this year...I think....). They really should rename it Fandom Festival, honestly.
