7. I'm with ya......

I just went through a ton of shit too. Mostly health issues, that will take months to resolve. And damn, twice now I went in for a minor thing, and turned into 2 additional procedures/tests, that turned into issues. I was hit with about 4 issues to start the year, and now have 8, and most of them won't be resolved until the end of the year. Keeping up with all this shit, is exhausting. I'm hoping 2027 will be much better for me.

I look at it this way.

No matter how bad you think life has been, there's always someone that has it worse. It's kinda puts things in perspective for me. Shit happens. Even more often as you hit 65 on up.

Buckle up cowboy. It might be a rough road ahead. I try to take it one day at a time, and hope for the best. I attempt to make it a point that every time I go out in public, to make someone smile, or laugh. It's actually kinda fun. I highly recommend it.

What's next for me? A colonoscopy Monday, which makes for an eventful 4th weekend. Oh boy, I can't wait. To think that the cost is about 4600, just pisses me off to no end that they can get by with this overpriced bullshit.

Vision issues will be addressed late July. And I can't remember how many things that are going down in August.

Chit happens.

Rant over. Sorry.

It will get better. Hang in there.
