Life gets so, so, so overwhelming sometimes. I feel like I've been fighting for weeks. Four weeks with a congested ear. Social interaction is so difficult when you really can only partially her. I've gained a new empathy for those with legitimate hearing impairments. I feel like i have no right to complain since mine is only a temporary condition, but it is still annoying as fuck.

The wife and I have been fighting. She's made a couple bad choices lately. She's been trying to "impress" a few friends and has decided to do so "at my expense." I'll spare you the details. You'd think your spouse would have your back. We're working our way through it. She feels bad. But her guilt isn't enough for me to get over it immediately.

I need a new job. But what else am I qualified to do? The last 10 years of my life have been devoted to this gig and it isn't enough just to switch to doing the same thing somewhere else.

But the good news is, I'm finally doing something for me. Since the wife has been back in school, I've given up a lot of things just because we can't afford it. But I'm finally doing something that isn't purely practical and is just for me. I'm getting my motorcycle license and looking for my first bike. So If anybody knows of a good first starter bike that's for sale for cheap and in the New England area, let me know. I'm more interested in some kind of a cruiser. The crotch-rockets just aren't my style.

Enjoy the weekend.
