Dealing With Headaches

In the space of a month, life happened in the following way ...

Ellen's car needed to spend some time in the shop with a bad intake gasket.

My truck was in the shop with yet another transmission problem.

My Mom was in her first car accident in 40 years of driving.

My Mother-in-Law fell and broke her nose and a finger.

Our water heater decided to commit suicide one morning.

In the grand picture, its a whole bunch of minor events. Having all of that crap happen in the space of a few weeks makes things a little stressful. One of the things I love about Ellen is the way that her and I band together when stuff like this happens. We figure out a way to deal with the problems with as little disruption as we can. There are times when life really sucks and all you can do is figure out the best way to deal with it so you can move on to the calm period before the next big headache.

Embrace the suck.

An Epic Event

Ellen is 40.
I'm not going to say anything more. I do have to live with her after all.

Father's Day

Its hard to talk about someone as importand as my Dad without getting emotional, and since that's really not in my nature, I'll just say this ...
I am going to try to not miss any chances to spend time with my Dad and not waste the time that he has left.

Two Years

Sometimes its hard to believe that its been two years since Joe died. Not so much the time as just the idea that he's no longer around.
