If you can't say anything nice, then get a blog

I can't do anything now.  I can't write, I can't think, I can't sleep.  Those are comma splices, and I just don't care.  What am I supposed to do, replace them with semicolons?  Add conjunctions?  No.  You're smart people, all three of you who read this drivel.  You'll figure out what I mean; and you'll know, of course, that I know that a comma splice is bad, because I just called myself out.

I have to cook dinner soon.  It feels like I just cleaned up from lunch.  I'll reread this post.  Maybe it will prompt an attitude adjustment.  

Didn't work.  I still don't want to cook.  I don't even want to eat.

This is temporary, right?  It always passes.  Today, it doesn't feel like it's going to pass.

I have a house full of people, just when I need a house full of no people, so that I can have five minutes of silence and privacy, so that I can just cry and get the hell over this.  Sometimes it's nice to have the house where all of the kids gather.  Today is not one of those days.

Well, that was a ray of sunshine, wasn't it?  Stop by again; I can tell you all about my second bout with PPD.  At least my punctuation is improving.
