A blog series where The Deranged Writer writes everything that’s on his mind… under time pressure (either ten minutes or 30 minutes).
An update on my physical health today: After waking up at noon, I feel weak again and my head feels heavy. I pushed through Mass and dinner with my Mother, younger brothers and cousins, and I still feel sick. And now here I am, struggling to blog on mobile.
I will rest early and I hope to be fine tomorrow. If I do become fine tomorrow, I will blog twice so I can reach my monthly blog count. But if I don’t, oh well.

So, what can I write here under 10 minutes?
Well, I started having a movie marathon tonight while enjoying some ice cream (cookies and cream flavor). The 1st movie on my list is Horrible Bosses, but I got bored halfway through the film. So I went on to the 2nd movie: 3 Ninjas Kick Back. It’s an old and silly action movie about, of course, 3 young ninjas, but I grew up watching it, and watching it again after many years brought happy childhood memories.
I’m still looking for the 3rd movie to watch. Either I choose DC League of Super-Pets or The Bourne Supremacy. I’m also thinking about whether I drink another Jack and Coke Zero. I only drank 1 last night, so…
That’s all I can share for tonight.

All right. After 2 weeks of physical weakness and depression, I have gained the energy to finish work on time and now I want to walk and jog tonight. The energy may not be 100%, but it’s a start. I thank that cold brew this morning, my family, and my “lamp posts” for giving me the energy and hope today.
I learned a few years ago that whenever I’m in a depressive state, I should not rush to bounce back. I should rest and dwell in the darkness for a while. And then when I find my lamp posts and gain enough energy, that’s when I start to bounce back. And The Diary, I will let you know when I truly keep fighting.
That’s all I can share for today.
