Why could not a truck just hit me today and spare me any further responsibility to "look good" and do the right thing.
What a lazy sob, eh.  I am totally in the fighting-to-hang-on stage and that is a very sucky place to be.  I feel quite lousy.  I need sleep.  It is 10 days of likely worsening before we leave and then 17 days of exposure to noise of many loud varieties and intensities.
I would like to simply be a good father, nothing more but nothing less.
