Pearls

Rob's got an elderly (92 or 93) who is currently in a home in Pennsylvania... she's got dementia, & the in-laws just came back from selling her house as she won't be going back home... So of course, we got invaded by knick-knackery. And I was given an honest-to-goodness pearl necklace. They're very regular, so they're probably cultured pearl, but still... They're quite nice.

I feel like the depression has beaten me. Usually I just ignore it til it goes away, and this time it just hung around til I had to acknowledge it. I feel defeated & even more hopeless than before.
