- What have I done with the amber light bulbs I bought for the electric fire that keeps me warm?
It's not unknown for me to lose something, get frustrated at my inability to find it and just purchase a new one. I did that last week with my cordless mouse and literally, ten
minutes after I ordered the new mouse I found the original one. I really should send that back, except the PO has closed.
I should add there's no heating/hot water here either; the system sprang a leak and after being told I'd have to wait weeks for a plumber, I decided I'd fix it myself and do a modification whilst I'm at it.
That'll be three years ago next month.
PM - I see a lot of myself in you. And very often I think 'there but for the grace of G-d' (Vee got me onto the spelling), go I'. We're a similar age but the main difference is I still have my wife. And that's where my heart goes out to you, because I could easily be in your shoes.
Depression and anxiety chip away at motivation as we all know, so I can appreciate just how easily it would be to find myself in your situation. Tidying and housework require a future mindset that we shy away from when we are down and apprehensive, we just want to hide and forget about the world. But the ladies here are quite right and I won't attempt to try and improve on what they've already said, because I wouldn't be able to. Hang in there buddy, you're a top-notch bloke and deserving of some attention.
