Monday night ramblings

Getting in one of my depressed moods,it usually wears off in a few days so I just have to ride it out. These past few days I just feel a bit pulled down by the state of things, of costs getting higher, too high for my unstable income to catch up with, by worries that my children's future will be that of similarly and seemingly endlessly working just to fund the necessities, of politics or rather politicians sounding more stupid and dangerous by the day..it almost makes me believe in what the doomsday preppers are doing i.e. getting prepared. I don't know if it's my mood ranting or perhaps some makcik sixth sense kicking in but I feel the way forward is to have skills. I'm trying to steer the kids to hopefully have useful skills that they can put to practical use in the future be it cooking or mechanical or handy man skills (as an unskilled person, I obviously don't even know the proper words for it) or teaching or sewing or whatever, whatever they can use to survive or even better earn a living from instead of just some office job without substance that's not going to help them if this whole system or environment or the world even (getting moody also gets me dramatic..ok, more dramatic than usual) goes to shit. I don't know what the future is going to hold, just some days it doesn't look pretty. I am even thinking it might be high time for me to learn about making bread from scratch...and if that isn't a sign of things going pear shaped,I don't know what is..have just googled about how to make naan bread from scratch...and even thinking about trying it out this weekend. Sometimes I scare myself.
