Life has been up and down and a little out of control the past couple of weeks, like an old wooden roller coaster that is falling apart and miraculously hasn’t maimed or killed anyone yet..
Several negative events: a rough conversation with my daughter resulting in her hating me; bad health news; depression; procrastination and laziness; giving up on something I would love to do for myself; back and neck pain; cancellation of best-laid plans for my wife’s birthday; and the ever-present exhaustion.
On the plus side, the LA Dodgers are out of the playoffs, and I hope the fans feel miserable. The other thing that brought a smile this morning was the story of the Tennessee goalposts. Google it or search for videos; you’ll be entertained.
I’m trying to find something interesting to write about, but it’s just not there. I should go for a walk, shower for the first time in a week, and then try to accomplish something before going to dinner with Annie and her parents. Instead I feel like wallowing for a while and taking a nap.
