...only because, it could always be worse.

My mom had a stroke in March, and I had to quit working to take care of her. (I'm a musician, so "work" for me is about much more than just income.) She is basically completely disabled, so I've been here with her 24/7 since then.

I had one close friend and one long-time colleague both commit suicide this year.

My trigeminal neuralgia hasn't let up, and at the 4 year mark, the doctor told me that it's likely that I'll be dealing with it for the rest of my life.

...but, other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
