Whensday
To All,
No, I didn’t fall off of the roof, in fact the sun was shining with all his might so I just concentrated on the ice dams and clearing the gutters. I’ve been very busy with work and weather issues, not to mention cleaning this house and haven’t really had time to journal lately. I also hurt my back while shoveling but it’s getting better.
Abby and I played a sort of game that I’ll call “My life is harder than anyone’s”. The game was a contest of sorts to see who could whine and complain the most convincingly. You won the game if the other person said “ Yes, You’re life is harder than anyone’s”. We both loved that game because we both loved to whine and complain. It’s pretty much my favorite thing to do. I guess I continued that game here when I was journaling. I was NOT looking for sympathy nor pity. I thought, in fact, that by sharing my trials and tribulations that I might strike a cord with others who then might not feel so all alone in this terrible process. I tried to tell my troubles in an amusing and engaging way to make them easier to read. I guess I failed. More than one person has asked if they were supposed to feel sorry for me. That made me sad, made me realize that I wasn’t coming across as I wanted to. Listen closely, no one can feel sorry for me the way that I can! It’s one of my favorite things to do and I have decades of practice. Abby was at a professional level as well. Our little contest was mostly a game, it gave us a chance to do our favorite things and gain recognition from another professional whiner if we did a particularly good job of telling our, oh so sad tales. I’m sorry if I didn’t explain it before and I’m sorry that I failed in my quest.
I like this place, even though the performance is atrocious. See my status? That’s what I seem to spend most of my time doing. This place is a place where we can be alone together. I think that’s worthwhile. I was just trying to make you smile. I’m nuts right? Trying to make grieving folks smile? Well, I thought it was worth a shot. Guess I’ll have to make a new plan.

PS What’s an ice dam?
