"It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays..."
I know I said this blog wasn't going to be whiny, but I just can't seem to get a grip on anything right now. I feel completely at odds with everything. Work is the worst it's ever been. I've been sick for two weeks. Between school and work, I haven't made it to the gym in ages. I haven't seen any friends in weeks. My divorced parents are both poor and miserable. Am not getting along at ALL with my apartment-mate. Not the cat.
I know the world is ridiculous right now. In fact, I'm reading Neil Gaiman & Terry Prachett's "Good Omens." Which treats the ruin of the world and Armageddon with the dry humor and sarcastic wit that only the British can really master. Basically stated: We are makers of our own misery. So what does that mean, that only we, ourselves, can make things better? I'm not sure that's the case. I feel like I've done everything I can, in pursuit of the best I can attain. And this is where I find myself, hmm?
Obama has been president for what? 16 Days? Come on, when is this all going to turn around??
Yes, we Britons are masters of sarcasm. Good Omens is really great.
ReplyDeleteAs far as being "makers of our own misery", I would have to agree with you to some degree. Sure, there are monkey wrenches thrown in one's general direction, but how one deals with it decides the severity of impact.
Keep your chin up. Drink some hot tea with honey. Make yourself to tell the world to [explicit word] off for a full 24 hour period, and breathe. It won't make things go away, but it can help you get back to things with a refreshed view (sort of like when you press F5 in the brower, things seem to load so much better). :::Huggles:::
You're not alone in this.
