Feb 2013

things seem to get worse in the winter. i've been thinking about a sun lamp, it's just a matter of being able to fit it into our budget. we're in colorado, so there are plenty of sunny days, i just can't seem to get him to go to the park or on a walk with me.

i know he hasn't hit bottom because he's still playing music at home and doing a bit of recording. when he stops playing is when i get supremely worried.

i'm doing my best to take care of him, which mostly consists of leaving him be and cooking what he likes.

we'll get through this, i hoping sooner rather than later.
