I’ve been excessively whiny the past few days. The bulk of it comes from needing sleep, with the frustration of having limited use of my hand. I always thought I was somewhat ambidextrous until I *had* to stop using my left hand for most things. Turns out that about the only things I can do well with my right hand are:
- Using a mouse
- Operating a 10-key adding machine
- Drinking
- Throwing things in frustration over all the things I can’t do with my right hand
In an effort to avoid #4, I may have to soon engage in #3. Excessively.
I had a huge fight with JL last night. A very aggravating, repeat topic fight. And I started composing a blog post about all of the emotions that I was feeling; all the things I’d love to be able to say to him; all the reasons it upsets me that he just doesn’t get it.
But then I started to cry as I was typing, and it was really hard crying, and jeez… it just depressed the hell out of me. Life sucks sometimes and 2008 hasn’t been all that great so far. Bad things have happened to other people. One of my favorite bloggers lost her father earlier this year, for example. Last year, her cat lost a leg. I lost my cat this year, but I still have my dad (although he did lose a nipple).
My point is, I’ve been through worse. Others have been through worse. Still others are going through far worse. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Suffering builds character. All that jazz.
And yet, I still whine. I’m still cranky. I need sleep. A bona fide full night’s sleep. Anyone know where I can get one?
