I've been in a repeating mood lately. For example,

I've been in a repeating mood lately. For example, I bought this flannel at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and it's basically become my new skin. I'm rereading books, which I *never* do. I'm eating the same meal over and over (this is mostly due to laziness and lack of culinary skills. Also, pizza bagels are the bomb dot com, so I AM NOT ASHAMED). I'm watching the same movies. I have one song on repeat. Etc., etc.,

The fun thing about repeating all these things is that it's a fresh, sparkly new tell that I'm d-d-d-d-DEPRESSED BOWBOWBOWWW. I can't tell you how many unread emails I have in my inbox right now. I'm usually the queen of Notification Annihilation, but I have a ton of emails that deserve responses that I just haven't been able to respond to. I’ve put off my taxes. I was supposed to mail my Mom her bday present a month ago. Etc., etc.

At the same time, I feel okay. Like, I'm overall feeling pretty good. At this point, I'll have maybe three hours of grossness and then I bounce back. It's weird - the better my mental health has gotten, the more confusing depression has become. It's easy to deal in black and white, but this gray area is hard to navigate. I may make an episode on this, but I mostly wanted to share that nothing in mental health is black and white. There's always a scale, and maybe sometimes it is one or the other, but most of the time I think we fall somewhere in the middle, which makes it hard to see if it's "big enough of a problem" to do something about it.

(It is).

Scales can slide, and it's better to work on it now than when you creep into the darker side of your gradient.

I've decided I'm posting Angus Eye Tea episodes when I feel something itch at me that I have to get out. Right now, I think weekly is a lot to handle. I don't want this podcast to become something I despise because I feel like I'm failing at creating content. That's never what this show was about. So, episodes to come, but TBD on when they will travel through your ears.

I hope y’all have a lovely, peaceful week 🕊. (And a pizza bagel).

Moo,
Elaine

Heyyyyy! I’m still around despite my lack of social media presence and lackluster episode upload schedule 🙃. It’s been an incredibly busy two months (in a good way, FINALLY) and I’m trying to figure out how to juggle all my creative projects now that I have a full-time job. It’s gonna be doable, I just haven’t had a good moment to sit down and plan it all out. I may take a month off, build up a backlog, and then come back! I may just record and edit and cry on Tuesday nights! I may win a million dollars! WHO KNOWS NOT ME HAHAHA.

Anyway, just letting you know the pod is not dead and I will be back at some point!

Moo,
Elaine

Harvey misses spooky time but is totally ready to devour mountains of potatoes this Thanksgiving 🐄🥔👌🏻.

I have been VERY BUSY but I still exist, I swear! My life has continued to jump about without warning, though this time in a good way—I HAVE A NEW JOB. More on that later, but for now just know that I’m tired and have not abandoned you! I have some episode ideas up my sleeve; I just need the energy to record and edit them!

I am active over on @wonkawatch only because I don’t have to do the editing over there 🙏🏻 so go check that out in the meantime if you have a gap in your podcast queue!

Have a wonderful day, Heifer!
