Depressed

I’m writing back!
Depressed? -Naah, didn’t get much sleep last night because my sons woke up at 11pm and played superheroes, and then my pager went off, and I’m a little whiney. But not really depressed depressed. In a grumpy mood, a little PMSish, but - no - not depressed.

Free Maid Service! - Yep. I’ll take that!

Looking For a New Mate? - Is this a trick question?

Overweight? - Well I didn’t think so, but now you are getting me self-conscious. Thank you so very much for asking me this. Yes, PMSish, my black leggings a little tight today. I have a round face. Buzz off.

Love Blueberries? - Actually, I do! And I know you are writing to me because the stinkers I bought 20 blueberry bushes from when I moved into my house put me on a list and sold it to you. Who gets as much blueberry spam mail as me? No one! I may boycott blueberries. You are annoying me.

Depressed?- Now I am.

XOXO Dr. Jen
