All in Personal
We’ve lived in the Netherlands for five and a half years now. It’s amazing how time flies. Not to mention the two plus years where the world pretty much came to a halt just two years into our stay. Time is weird and it’s funny that the pandemic almost feels just like a bad memory now. Life seems, for the most part, pretty much back to normal.
It was my birthday on Monday and it could be summed up in a word, uneventful. Dani was on a long haul trip back from Colorado for much of the day. I’m between clients at work, so that was quite quiet as well.
A few people know that I sometimes battle with some mild depression. Sometimes I just slide into a state of being where I have a lot of anxiety and my mood goes super low for a few days or weeks. I always manage to come out of it for a while, but it sucks.
Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve and start to the new year. Dani and I had a great quiet night at home with the pups.
his past weekend, Dani and I took a trip up to Portland to visit our good friends the Gilligans. First stop Saturday morning was to Smiling Hill Farm to pet some animals, ride a tractor and pick a pumpkin.
As I sit here in the closing 36 hours of 2013 the first words that come to mind are, "thank fucking goodness this year is over!". While this year has had it's highlights, those have been largely overshadowed by a couple of pretty crappy events.
I have to keep writing this stuff down and talking about it. Keeping it inside is just too hard. Thanks for listening, it helps more than you know.
I'm in bed with Dani. My ears are still ringing, but I have to get this down. Have to get this out of my head.
