SS, DD?

or is it NY, MS? (New Year, More Shit)

i am not in any way trying to be a downer person, but i have been overwhelmed by the tide of calamities that has occurred in my life and the lives of those close to me.

when someone asks me how i'm doing these days, my standard reply is, "Dodging the big chunks, most of the time." i used to say, "Mostly good!"

at any rate, i hold to the conviction that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. just wondering exactly when the turn-around is going to manifest. sigh.

as usual, my friends and furbies help buoy me daily. i have much to be thankful for, and i know it.
