Wichita, Kansas. A new study has found that depression is a waste of time. Students at Wichita State University are compiling a list of millions of activities more fulfilling than those most commonly associated with depression, namely sleeping, overeating and suicidal thoughts. 

You may be surprised to hear that blogging is on the list, as is visiting a horticultural society. All these years I have been elbow deep in Ben and Jerry’s while there is an animal shelter only a few blocks away looking for volunteers.

When I think of all the money I could save if tea or coffee replaced alcohol as my morning pick-me-up it’s really pretty exciting. Just think of all the money I could have saved if I hadn’t been drinking every morning since my sixteenth birthday. Why I would probably have my own place right now. In fact, I’d probably have been able to keep a steady job all these years, maybe even a steady relationship.

Just thinking about all these great things I could have done really makes me want a fresh start. I should clean out my freezer. I’ve got all those half eaten pints of Chunky Monkey that could have been money toward a college tuition fund. I should really make a clean break and finish those off. I’ll finish this blog later, maybe after I take a nap. Tomorrow’s going to be great.
