Late, as usual.

Not surprising that it has been months since my last post. No excuses. Just on with today's topic.
I'm exhausted. I haven't been sleeping. Well, not without pharmaceutical enhancement, of some sort. I'm missing my family. Not my wife and kids, whom I was missing last week. Well, the wife anyway. She was in AZ to see her Grandfather, who is not doing well. Glad she is back. No, now I am missing my parents, and siblings. I know, that's unusual. The clan is getting together for a bit of a reunion a couple of days after the 4th of July. We can't afford the trip, so I'm not going to see them. Like most visits with family, I'm sure it would be annoying, frustrating, and painful. But still. I'll miss it.
Wife is still not working. I'm trying so hard to be optimistic. For her. I just don't know how long I can last. I don't have the energy. My back is worse than it has ever been. Might be part of my sleeping problem. We have started working out at the local rec center. Don't know if it is helping or hurting. Glad my family is finally interested in health improvement. I was thinking I was the only one. I'm not in great shape, by any means, but I had been cutting my portion sizes and ignoring junk food/sweets fairly well. The wife does an amazing job making sure that we eat healthy at our meals. Probably why I started wanting to take better care of myself.

I'm desperately trying to feed my muse. It's rough going. Got a guitar, and I am taking lessons. Having difficulty finding time to practice. Also, I'm trying to get back into photography. So far, it's slow going, and I don't have the greatest camera. I need to find some 35mm film for my old Pentax.

I hate whining, which is what this feels like, but honestly, that is probably why I started this blog. I needed someplace to vent.
