One of the advantages of my position here is that if things get out of hand for me, life can stop.  No, not in that way, but seriously - I have all the time in the world to dwell on anything I so desire.  Of course, that leaves the obvious disadvantage - I have all the time in the world to dwell on anything I so desire.  It can be both a comfort and a blessing to deal with things at one's own pace.

Well, it is what it is.  I have to make do with what I have.  It's not as bad as it could be, but the process is not yet entirely complete.  Still, things are going back to normal.  Such as normal is.
