What are you up to?

When people ask me what I've been up to lately, I have a couple answers.

1) "Oh, you know. Just living the dream." Then we all chuckle and no one presses any further into my weird little brain.

 ~OR~

 

2) "Well, I've been bartending downtown for about a month, and I really like it. Its a fun job." Then they either ask me about my job, or I change the subject to Count Chocula, which is the best reason to have Halloween once a year. Count. Chocula. 

If YOU were to ask me, though, I'd tell you things are alright. I'm getting along, and its gotten harder to do that than it used to be. I miss my uncle. I love my family. My grandma had a stroke today, and I'm not sure what to do with myself. I just want everyone to go back to normal. I want things to be alright. If you do anything special that you feel helps in these sorts of things (prayer, meditation, eating count chocula), please do that tonight with my grandma in mind. I need her to stay around. Thanks, friends. Love you, too.
