It might be my brain - I thought it was LIFE playing tricks.


Yes, it is indeed an amazing time we live in and when I'm in better shape mentally I can ususally deal with the vagaries fairly well and philosophically.

You know, "Well, my basements flooded but thank god I HAVE a basement to flood! Some people live in the middle of the lake!" and all that.

but-- lately, I'm weary, weary, weary. It helps just to come here and rag and bitch about it.

I've got it good; I need my perspective re-arranged is all.

I think "Why can't I just have this fixed properly or buy a new one? Why can't I be wealthy enough for that?" but - we're never as wealthy or as poor as we imagine. Hey - I've got hot and cold running water in my house!! Some poor soul doesn't even have that.
