I am literally forcing myself to write this, an embarrassing injury last night has forced me into a debate about rather to have a small but troublesome wound checked by a doctor. Normally this wouldn’t be a debate given my cozy relationship with my doctors. But with a little guerilla medicine I think I have the problem under control. So don’t worry, by the time I wrote this story, the voodoo remedy seems to have worked.
Given the stress we have all faced over the past few years with Covid and the current uncertain political situation that has followed. You’d think we’d be allowed to catch a break by now. But with the 24/7 news/opinion cycle spinning on quick rinse. Even my little situation seems tame compared to the never-ending pearl clutching the rest of the world is doing. Even closed off from the rest of the world in my little office; it’s difficult for me not to focus on the things that play out around me. So when facing my little problem, there were no protest or firebombs going off. Just a quiet resolution to get the problem solved.
I guess the point I’m trying to make here is, think of yourself honestly. Know what your limits are. You won’t always have the solution, but you certainly don’t want to exacerbate the problem. Just like with my little accident, I can calmly look at the situation, examine it, weigh my options, then take care of the situation. Unfortunately in my situation I was alone in what I could do. My two housemates are basically under my care, so the only person I can truly depend on is myself. This has served me well for the most part with the exception of a few ambulance rides and more than a few ER visits. I guess the thing is don’t panic, you got this. So with a calm determination and a willingness to accept help, you will make it as well.
