Taking Your Lumps

It's genuinely vexing to me that I've had neither the energy nor the inspiration to write regularly, of late. I notice that many of you who regularly visit here are not writing so much these days, either. What's that about?

For me, it's still a period of change and too much disquiet. Certainly there's plenty to write about, but who wants to read a daily whine? Just yesterday I thought to call my mother and talk to her about how much I'm struggling with myself. She's not the best counselor, but every once in a while she offers the kind of support I need.

Wouldn't you know it, she called me first. She's got a new mass, in her right breast this time. What more, Heavens, what more? Bring it, fuckers. I'm about ready to knock the heads of the Fates together.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I sincerely pray that all goes well with her.

You're right when you say that people have not been posting as much lately. I've noticed that too. I know on my end, life is just crazy right now. I don't know if I'm coming or going.

im sorry about your mom, kissyface.

if ive been quiet, which i have, its because i dont know how to put the words together to make sense of what is going on.

its a conflict within myself that i choose to deal with in my own way, which is to not deal. does that make sense?

Its a long, dumb story as to my recent hiatus...
