Depressing Day Most

I have returned. Some time has passed since I crossed this way.

I am basing my lapse on the theory of a Dr. Arnall of the

University

Cardiff

Wales

. Monday, Janaury 24^th was the most depressing day of the year. Here is the formula:

[W + (D-d)] x TQ
M x NA

W: Weather

D: Debt

d: Money due in January pay

T: Time since Christmas

Q: Time since failed quit attempt

M: General motivational levels

NA: The need to take action

I have applied the model to my own state of mind and appears to work. I’m trying to figure out what I have to do to turn it around. February and early March weather is a constant. I’m thinking the only way to change anything is Q. Currently Q in relation to this blog is high. By blogging today, it is reset to zero and zero times anything is zero. Zero divided by anything is zero.

I started writing this afternoon to cheer me up. I’m not depressed, I’m just a total wipe-out.

Tomorrow,

Nancy
