Emerging

by on January 13, 2012

I haven’t had that in a long time, that welling up of despair. I struggled through the day, had a better day on Wednesday, and then Thursday was flattened by a stomach issue that may or may not have involved a sandwich I ate from a convenience store. I’m still in some pain today but [...]
