Oh, where to begin...I told the Chief last week if I was going to be depressed, this would be the time to do it. Fortunately I've been friends with Prozac for twenty years, so as long as I can keep my sense of humor I should not be in too much trouble.
Perhaps I can depress you with the following:
A) Family member suffering from pain for 'bout 10 years...3 surgeries later and no change...if anything it's worse.
B) Family member suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Sciatica, Fibromyalgia and MRSA along with other miscellaneous stuff.
C) Dog age 6.5 years old suffering from puppyitis.
D) Myself suffering from Asthma, Osteo Arthritis, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Kidney Failure, Venous Insufficiency, Lymphedema Right Arm, History of Breast CA, Fibromyalgia, Hypertension, Hypothyroidism, along with other assorted goodies.
I won't go on. You get the idea. And, such is life. Carry on. Have a cup of tea.
I try to take the piles one day at a time. But, sometimes that is impossible. So, depending on what is happening that particular day, I may take it one person at a time, or one diagnosis at a time, or one tooth at a time. Yep, it does get down to one tooth at times.
The rabbit poop photo is the result of a phone conversation with my mom yesterday. We were talking about "Intelligent Design" not being very "intelligent." For example, rabbits first chew & swallow their food into a pouch that coats it with whatever and then poops it out via another orifice. Then the rabbit eats that pre-poop which now can go into its "real" stomach where it is eventually pooped out of its real anus. They don't eat that stuff, its real poop.
Here is a link which explains it better: RABBIT POOP
Now the above piles of poop are pretty much what I would call "inside my window." And are some of the reasons I enjoy looking out my window. But these days when I look out of my window I see piles of poop just about everywhere there, too.

Well, I see them on my computer and television windows. Along with, the effort to break through the Gaza Blockade, the Demise of Wall Street, Resistance to Equal Rights in Marriage and Military Service, Individual States so Broke they cannot give their children a Good Public School Education, let alone Feed Them, the Political Criminals in Illinois now on Trial, States that want to ask you for Your Papers, the Catholic Priests preying on the children, a Dutch Boy who should have put his finger in the dike instead, and not to be forgotten... the Tea Baggers who are counting on their loudly repeated discriminatory lies to become truth to those that hear them.
I'm not sure my prozac will be able to handle those piles of poop. Those piles of poop make me want to cry. Cry because some of our fellow human beings have become lost in their own self-inadequacies and self hatred. I cry when I see a comment about our President, referring to him as "mud face."
And if you cannot cry at that... then I also cry for you.
