Okay, here goes, blog #2. I finally have something to say. So for those who don't know, which is all of you, my 8 yr relationship with the mother of my 5 yr old son came to a crashing end right after New Year's. We had been having problems for some time, did a trial separation over the summer and got back together, which lasted for the rest of 2007 and then went KABLOOIE. After the initial hurt feelings died down we've been able to stay amicable and even remain really close friends, which is a major blessing.
Shortly after that happened she lost her job and then was in a car wreck on her way back from the Rust Riot Rollerderby tournament in Seattle. In the wreck she suffered a pretty gnarly spinal injury. So, she just got out of major surgery to (heh heh) screw her head back on right (her words, not mine). And she's recovering in the hospital. The whole mess has been pretty hard on our boy but he's holding up pretty well. This still feels weird telling all this to the whole internet but, fuck it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, no matter how bad it gets, it could be worse, so be thankful that it's not. Sounds kinda morbid, but look at my ex- yeah she was the worst injured person in a car wreck that was not her fault, she can't roller skate for a year, and she's unemployed. But on the other hand, she has insurance, she's not paralyzed, and she will be able to skate again eventually.
So, take a minute today, whatever your problem is, think of how it could be worse, and then be thankful it's not. You might just end up feeling a little better about it.
