Control

Ever feel like you have everything figured out and under control, and you work your tail off for months on end, and everything just goes along smoothly, then suddenly you get blindsided by something totally unexpected that comes out of nowhere?

I'm feeling that way; really off-balance lately and struggling to deal with it. No, nothing school-related; that's moving along nicely. This one's personal.

So if I don't post a lot here lately, or if my posts seem a bit bizarre, just hang in there or send me some generic supportive email. I'll get through this; it's just a matter of time.

"Can't see nothing in front of me
Can't see nothing comin' up behind.
Make my way through this darkness
Can't feel nothin' but this chain that binds me.

Lost track of how far I've gone.
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed.
On my back's a sixty pound stone,
On my shoulder half my life..."

-- The Rising, Bruce Springsteen
