Time out. The past few weeks have been very stressful. Well, since Bush was elected back in 2000, many of us have been living with an increased Anxiety Level – Red. So, let’s take some time out to share our good news for a moment. Tomorrow is another day and we can go back to stressing then. Bushco always gives us something to stress about. At least they’re consistent and successful in those efforts.
Okay. I think my months of stabbing kidney pain are gone. I think. The last time I felt that severe pain was Saturday. I’m almost scared to breathe in case that brings it back again. Maybe it really is done. I don’t know, but if it is, I’ll dance in the streets. The downside is that either my body is readjusting or my lupus and FMS are acting up because I’ve been needing extra, extra long naps and the rest of my body just hurts. Don’t get me wrong though – this is the kind of hurting I’ve lived with for years and I’ll take this over that damn kidney pain any day.
On the financial side, my tight ass provincial Conservative government here in Alberta has decided to share some of the huge surplus we now have as a result of higher oil and gas prices. Every Albertan will soon be receiving a Prosperity Cheque and it isn’t even an election year. Go figure. That’s good news because I’d like to get a little car so I can visit my daughter, her fiance, the grandherb and the new grandherb (coming soon) more often.
What else…? Fall is here. I don’t really like fall because it means colder weather but I love the pretty fall colours. And – I like sweaters. Sweaters are good.
It’s nice to have good news in the midst of so much chaos and pain. I think it’s important to take time out now and then to look at the balance in life. There is balance. Sometimes, it’s just harder to see.
