DAY #21

Hey there!
I'm over most of my depression!
I'm not sure exactly what it was that snapped me out of it. Probably a combination of a few things... My associates who had invited me to the zombie-related activity last night weren't as angry or as judgemental as I had imagined they would be. Plus one self esteem. Someone else I'd been a bit weird to recently turned out to be fine with it all and there was no real damage done. I think we're good. Social confidence increased. And I remembered that there was social Badminton tomorrow which promises to be more fun than usual. Not feeling as low as yesterday... A new record!
Oh, and my friend told me he got attacked by a disused vending machine the other day. That cheered me up.
So I should be back to normal from now on, no more whining for a while, trying to look for the silver lining of the cloud of death, and hopefully making your life a bit more bearable in the process!
Right then, I'm sure you're absolutely desparate to know that I have a busy day tomorrow... Well I'll tell you anyway. Badminton with good company, as I mentioned, first thing in the morning, followed by a whirlwind tour of the local backup survival environments, or what you might call post-zombie holocaust house hunting in the nearby area, then a team mass food scavenge of the part-destroyed supermarkets, rounded off by a trip to see a film with my parents at a luxury, heavily fortified and refurbished ex-cinema venue. It looks like it's going to be one of the best days I've had recently, and it really couldn't have come at a better time!
Other than my sudden reversal of mood thanks to some lovely survivors (if you're reading this, then it's probably you!), and my plans for tomorrow, there isn't really much more to say.
I could write more and go into real depth about the other times I almost got killed, or maybe tackle the commonly asked question of what to do if a loved one turns...
But actually, I think I'll just leave it. I can't afford to be polluting my "up time" with sobering reality and unimaginable sadness seeing as how rare it is to feel genuinely happy and content now that the dead walk the earth.
I'll do it some other time.
But for now, this is the (probably) happiest (living) man (sort of) on earth (maybe) signing off.
Over and out.
