How Are You?

Not so good.

Have had several close family members in an out of the hospital; I am facing the reality that my doggie of 14 and some years is going to have to be put down in the very near future; and, I am trying my very hardest to ward-off the impending doom of my very first publishing deadline.

On top of all that, we've been having a record breaking heatwave with highs in the 100s and lows in the 90s, and unfortunately, no one in Albuquerque has air conditioning. So I haven't been sleeping either.

The little tidbit about my car being broken into (With all the windows smashed in and everything stolen.) I mentioned the other day is just the proverbial icing on the cake.

Somehow in the midst of it all, I've turned into a complete asshole. I seem to be pissing everyone off.

So all I can do is apologize.

...And deal, bucker up kiddo, get beck on the horse, and all that other nonsense.
 
^^ Nah, it's not nonsense. That's the whole point of the Thread.

I'm sorry to hear about all your difficulties. :( I hope your relatives are doing okay. I certainly understand how you feel about your dog; I've lost quite a few beloved Pets over the years and it never gets any easier. And the car thing just sucks.

Sounds like a low point, for sure. But things will get better. Don't let hard times drag you down or let the assholes of the world embitter you. You can be better than they are.
 
Right now... right this very moment...

Feeling no pain. But it is nearly a year since my mother passed away, so I may feel different tomorrow.

But right now... I'll live.

^^ That's okay, so was the OP. :rommie:

I'm glad you're feeling okay, and I hope you still feel okay tomorrow and the day after.
 
Hacked off. Had a half day today. Had a nice walk, the pretty girl behind the counter in Starbucks smiled at me, had a nice lunch, went to see Moon, enjoyed that, got on the train to go home, sat opposite Sir Trevor Brooking, then he got off the train and mysteriously that's when my nice day started to go completely wrong.

I'm not even allowed to have half a nice day.
 
Ouch, TBC. I hope that arm problem clears up quickly. :crazy:

Good luck with your stretch, Ashu.

What went wrong with your day, Hermiod?

I don't feel well, my knee is killing me, I'm having to turn down an offer of an Arsenal season ticket after 5 years on the waiting list and now I'm being booted off this board and nobody will tell me why.

Oh, and after Sir Trevor got off the train we all had to as well because it broke down!

Definitely a bad day; sorry to hear that. But what's this about being booted off? I haven't heard anything about that, and I think if you were going to be booted you'd already be gone-- they generally don't give two weeks notice around here.

There was an unfortunate misunderstanding which I hope has been resolved but I have been asked not to discuss any further.

It happens because, despite everything I’ve seen and experienced, despite the years and decades that have wearied my body and grayed my hair and detailed my face with character lines, I still believe in the spirit that created the artwork that endures in ancient caves, the spirit that built Stonehenge and the Pyramids, the spirit that painted the Mona Lisa and American Gothic, the spirit that wrote “The Road Not Taken” and Foundation, the spirit that lifted civilization out of the Dark Ages and forged the Constitution, the spirit that put footprints in the Sea Of Tranquility. It happens because I’ve seen disaster averted and disease cured and death denied and hope rise from the ashes of destruction. It happens because I’ve known men and women who have given blood and surrendered the organs from their bodies so that another might live, because I’ve watched people die so that complete strangers can be saved, because I’ve seen those with only two nickels to rub together give one away to someone in more desperate need, and because I’ve seen hardened, calloused adult Human Beings weep over the grave of a beloved Pet. It happens because I still believe in the improvability and perfectability of Humanity; without doubt or reservation, I believe in it.

It happens because I still know great optimism.


Thanks for the uplifting words .
 
^^ You're welcome and thank you. I'm glad you found it uplifting. :)
