Tori’s Writing Hole

I used to think the worst month of the year was February. Gloomy, no good holidays, middle of the winter - basically useless. I need to revise the “worst” month for 2007, however, to January. This month the following crap has happened:

• I’ve gotten the worst migraines ever, forcing me into the ER where I had a bad reaction to the meds they gave me (compazine) and felt like I was dying.
• My uncle died after a pretty short illness (at least that we knew about). He died in pain and misery, too… not fair.
• I fell on the ice on our steeper-than-steep driveway, sliding on my back and twisting and bruising the muscle. It’s been almost a week and it still hurts.
• Our second car decided to have problems with the starter or battery, we think - so hubby Stephen tried to fiddle with it. He didn’t latch the hood properly (it wouldn’t latch, anyway) so it flew into his face while driving. We now have a second car with a starter problem and broken hood.
• My niece was diagnosed with some issues that are going to make raising her more of a challenge for my already ill sister-in-law.
• Julia (the cutie) has decided she no longer wants to eat. Or get dressed, or get her diaper changed, or stop hitting me in the face.

Needless to say, I’m hoping for a nice, quiet gloomy February. Please?
