Bronchitis

This past week has been hellish. I haven't done anything except feel like I wanna die, thanks to this nasty strain of bronchitis. It sucked. I'm feeling better now, not perfect, but I'm clawing out of the hole I've been in for 8 days now. I don't know where I got it, but it's okay. I'm gonna be fine. I always figure shit out.

La Vita E Bella

I don't know where to start. My birthday, maybe. It's usually a reminder of the fact that I'm closer to the end of my life than the beginning. This year, though, we packed in so many fun things around it, it was hard to get out of the present, and it was glorious. The future is anxiety, and the past is depressing. But in the present, there is kayaking, there is laughter and jokes and hugs, there's joys and shared sorrows and I love all of it. I'm humbled to have become a part of this little place. It's beautiful.

Almost Full Circle

My Old Man is getting so old it's hard to stand. He is having trouble walking. Eating but not standing. Next couple of days will be crucial.
