i talked to frank this afternoon about my latest happenings. he was sad for me, and said "you're just having one things after another". i told him that's pretty normal for me. i don't know why, that's just how it goes. for a while there i wondered if i subconsciously sought out drama, but i don't. these things just seem to happen. this one definitely was out of my control. i'm less anxious now that i was able to talk to my dad about it.

sometimes it feels like tragedy is always before us. i don't mean that in a really bleak kind of way, but it's just part of living. part of having loved ones. we always risk losing. and yet, it's only what we hold dearly that makes life worth living at all.

i got my taxes done this afternoon. my accountant is very amusing. he reminds me of an effeminate version of harold from the red green show.

we can't help but feel that something has been lost.
