Gaaaah! I want to complain but I also don't want to and I kind of don't want to hear myself anymore. I can't describe it well. This year has just sucked so bad--but then what am I saying? My people in question have survived so far--even if damaged and by the skin of their teeth--and so many others have literally died. But the amount of pressure just feels crushing many days. I know it's not just me.

Here's a silly picture from better days gone by.
