GI Joe: Retaliation

I have been finding myself sliding into depression lately.  It does not happen often, but every now and then it tries to creep back into my life.  After my last couple miscarriages I spiraled into a pretty bad funk.  The depression got bad enough that I tried counseling and meds.  Neither helped.  The doctor, mainly because we did not click, and the meds because meds and I tend to not be friends.  I was able to get out of that dark place.  It was a daily struggle for a time, but it got better.  Every so often I find myself trying to slide back into that place.  It is not a place I want to be! 

I believe that this time it is being caused, in part, by the frustration over my foot not healing as quickly as I hoped it would.  I overdid it and set myself back a bit.  It makes me feel as if it will never get better.   I am sure that it will.  It just takes time and patience.  I seem to be lacking in the patience at the moment. 

I have been doing a little better the past day or two.  Not great, but better.  Tonight I went to see GI Joe: Retaliation with one of my best friends.  It was just what I needed!  Something about a movie based on a childhood favorite cartoon just makes you smile.  I actually really enjoyed this one.  I think it was more serious than the first, but still just as fun.  I was sad that Chris Eccleston as Destro was not in it, however I can see him in Thor in a few months.  :)  My friend was disappointed there was not more Channing Tatum in it.  That did not bother me.  I did miss having Duke as a main character to a degree, but I missed Eccleston more.  Yes, I really like Chris Eccleston!  He is a great actor and has pretty eyes.  In regards to the movie and kids, I would let Archer see it, but would not let any of the younger kids see it.  There is no graphic violence and I do not recall a preponderance of bad language.  However it is very intense in a few parts and I feel, that for my family, it would not be appropriate for the younger kids.  At 13 years old, Archer would be okay with it.  The younger kids might be okay with it too, but I would rather they wait a few years to see it.  Same thing we did with the last Harry Potter movie.  The younger kids are still waiting anxiously to see that. 

So yay for a girl's night out with a good friend and a fun action flick!  Makes a girl feel better.
