Static in the attic

"Sometimes I feel like the static in the attic
Is making me just confused."
--From the song "Cobwebs" by Ryan Adams

I've definitely been dealing with some static in the attic over the last few days. Struggling, for sure. The end of the holiday break, my son's addiction, the uncertainty of the future, finances, etc., etc., etc. I don't quite understand why I got dealt the hand I did, and coping with it seems to be getting harder, not easier. It hurts. And every day seems to be a struggle lately. Maybe it's just the winter blahs piling on top of everything else. I hope so.

By the way, today is my youngest son's thirteenth birthday. I don't know where the time has gone.
