Long Time, No Blog

I sure have missed all you fallible readers, but it’s my own fault, isn’t it? If I would just get my act together and BLOG, things would be different….

The truth is that I haven’t felt overly well lately, and darned if I’m not starting to sound like my husband! He’s the one who——when he’s practically a dead man walking with back pain or a migraine—-reports his condition to me as “not perfect.”

In case you EVER wondered, I have never been even remotely close to perfect! Recently, though, I’ve been toughing my way through some medication changes for the dumb stabbing pain in my eye, changes that have brought on depression. Now I need to decide if I will try to persist with the meds (which actually help the pain), in the hopes that the depression will lift, or if I should go off the meds and accept the pain as my 24/7 companion.

See, I AM cheery, am I not?

It probably doesn’t help that the world in general is in such a funk right now. I mean, we’ve been through some crummy economies before, but in my (rather long) lifetime, I don’t believe the entire planet has ever entered into a slump on virtually the same day.

I’m not a big fan of extended election seasons, either. One of my girlfriends (waving to Alison!) actually took a trip to Ireland in part to escape the craziness of the election, and I WISH I were with her right this very minute. Don’t you?

I wish I could say I have high hopes that the next president and congress will be able to correct some of the overwhelming problems this nation faces, but I believe we’re in for a world of hurt here. The problem is that no one seems willing to address the causes of the crises—-only to patch over the symptoms. That NEVER works for the long term, and what on earth would make us think this time is different?

One of the ways the U.S. and many other countries attempts to gloss over facts is the continual printing of money, which if allowed to fester, eventually results in a situation like the one currently happening in Zimbabwe—-hyper-inflation. If you want to see some pictures that will blow your mind and make you wish you’d studied New Math a little harder while you had the chance, check these out!

Think it can’t happen here? How many Zim dollars you wanna bet?

  1. I hope you feel better soon! But I with you. I'm dreading Tuesday. I think it's a no win-no win situation for just the reasons you explained. At least we have the hope in us that God is still in control.

  2. Katy,
    I am sorry to hear about your pain and the conflict between help and depression. I will pray that it resolves itself so that your cheery self will be on top.

    Yes I wish I were in Ireland.

    Yes I will be glad that the whole long process is over. Maybe God will be merciful and we will not get what we surely deserve. We can only pray and vote and pray some more.

    I miss you when you are gone for long periods of time and I worry. Blessings. Sandi

  3. We would love to have you with us in Ireland, too. :) - Karen (& Alison, who is sitting next to me on my couch)

  4. I wish you were here too. Tomorrow I'm heading towards Westport and my first driving experience. Jessica tells me most accidents in Ireland are caused by "excessive speed" and "drink driving." I'll try to avoid both. And, yes, the election was better from a distance.

    Feel better.
