I also really liked his book "Collapse," about the collapse of societies. (Maybe that would hit a little too close to home!) I know what you mean, though, about concentrating.

The times he has cleaned out his bowl I hear him scratching and whimpering on the other side of the door. Now I see he has learned from all these months, and there generally are a pathetic six or eight kibbles on the bottom of the bowl.

So we probably feel what we're feeling even more deeply than usual. <br />I hope you're not so sad any more. I feel that way some days too. And the malaise and ennui are constant companions.

Your doctor's probably right. You're probably not the only patient he has who has anxiety. I don't quite get the allergy-connection but I'm not a doctor. <br />A toy sewing machine? Damn!

I managed to watch a movie from start to finish the other night, a first in a long time. I did figure out (another pet moment) that our poodle is a bit ocd. If you mix his wet and dry food he won't eat it. If you keep it separated in little piles in his bowl he will eat everything. I rarely get a decent night sleep, even with sleeping pills (not taking them every night and only taking half a pill when I must). I have chest pains, so much so talked to the Dr by phone appt on Friday. He thinks it is anxiety in combo with seasonal allergies. I've never had much anxiety or chest pains before. Yeah, so each of us is reacting in different ways. I did sew us some masks but they didn't turn out great (hadn't sewed in 40 years and am doing it with a toy sewing machine lol) but we are wearing them when inside in a store.
