Fall recently came to Austin which then led to me getting sick followed by the anxiety/panic attacks over-the-counter medicine causes. It’s a crappy situation because not taking the medication usually prolongs the illness. However, maybe I should’ve toughed it out.
This October is panning out to being a rather sad time. Over a year ago I had to put Molly to sleep as cancer chipped away at her. I’m still bummed about Ben’s sudden departure. Other sad memories have cropped up too. The intransigence of the Teabaggers in DC isn’t helping…and if you buy into the false equivalence the SCLM spouts off, go back to watching Faux News and kiss my grits.
Some days it can be pretty hard to go out into the world to face what are really mundane, pathetic First World Problems especially when there’s at least a billion people who have it harder than I ever will.
Hang in there. I know I will as I try to dig out, catch up and put the pieces back together in enlightening you all about Italians who aren’t mobsters, models and pop stars.
