That journal is irritating me... Things are still just as ominous for my family. If not more as I can't seem to get anyone to answer the phone for the past four days. But, there's no point putting my life on hold while I sit around holding my breath. All that would lead to is for me to mess up my own situation more than it already is. Perhaps if I can get myself on track I'll be in a better (safer?) position to drop everything and help my family if that time comes.

I'm still scared shitless. Life is always throwing little challenges at me it seems. Of course, it happens to everyone. And if there's only one thing I've learnt so far in life it's that everyone's problems are relative.

If you knew what was happening to my family right now, you'd be shocked, but this isn't the place for me to spill my guts so entirely that the stink fills up the room. Not to mention there are a lot of people with varying degrees of problems on here. Sometimes I wish I had enough strength to help everyone. However, when I hardly have the strength to lift my family above it all, I wonder if I'm aiming too far.

So, here I vent in a guarded and deliberately unspecific manner. I'm sorry for this nonsense.

This week I had visits from Charley and Chase we had a lot of fun and took a lot of photos.

I've been working pretty hard again this week, mainly to bury my head in the metaphoric sand, I guess.

Also I received a lovely gift - a Murakami book. Although whoever bought it didn't leave a name! Or an address for me to send a thank you... so here is your thank you, anonymous member (-:

The rest of you can have a photo:

The light does some amazing things when you care to look...
