For the past week, I have been alternately depressed and angry due to the whole facing-possible-homelessness-for-no-good-reason thing. I’ve barely gotten any work done, because I simply can’t concentrate on my writing when I’m so emotional. But today I was able to channel my energy and get more work done than I’ve been doing in several days.

I think the difference today has been that I’ve been more angry than anything. Our tax refund was deposited today, and I had planned on getting all the bills caught up and celebrating. Instead, I had to once again pay just enough to keep everything from getting cut off and hang on to the rest so we’ll have something to get moved on. It made me absolutely furious that I couldn’t enjoy the day I’ve been waiting for so long.

At any rate, the persistent anger has been easier to channel into something positive than the bouts of depression. So at least some good came of it. Since I’m on a roll, maybe I should work on promoting my services. I could have some marketing pens made and distribute them with business cards. But I guess I should get my work caught up first. I’m sure I can stay mad long enough to do that and still have plenty of anger left over to work with.
