annus horribilis

Oh, will the fun ever end?

The year so far: Huz and I lose our apartment, and "split up" to move into our respective childhood homes, while waiting for "our" new apartment to be vacated. Huz's father dies. Huz's mother begins showing noticeable signs of early Alzheimer's/dementia. We finally move, unleashing all the chaos that entails. I total my car. And the latest? Huz's mother fell and broke her hip Wednesday. And laid on the floor alone for two whole days. Huz didn't discover this till today when he went by for his drums. Christ, a 75 year old widow, two newspapers sitting on the lawn, mail in the mailbox, garbage pail sitting out, lights on & tv blaring for two days, both doors wide open and nobody even looks twice.

In a speech that year, Queen Elizabeth II called 1992 her "annus horribilis." Andrew & Fergie split, that book about Di came out, the palace burned....

Welcome to our year. Everyone gets one, guess we're just due.

Sheesh.
