It’s That Time of the Year…
Fall has hit us here in CowTown, and I’m feeling it pretty hard.
What’s that? The suckiest blogger in the world? Who? Me?
Yeah. I’m finding it hard to focus on this whole blogging thing what with the fifty million hours of doing stuff each week, and all.
Well, the thing is that this time of the year tends to hit everyone here at The Ranch pretty hard. I’m certainly no exception.
Every day, I come home from work and I hit the couch with the dogs. This is the end of me until supper time at around seven.
The amazing thing is that on days when I work two shifts, I manage to remain upright and conscious for that period of time. I feel like I deserve a big old pat on the back every time I do it.
Part of the problems I have include obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I chew on my hands or my lips or whatever I can bring to the vicinity of my mouth, and I go nuts.
I also tend to shake my legs, twitch, and generally be a big ol’ ball of energy compacted into one handy location (That location being the couch.)
The other night, I was sitting around twitching and being insane, admiring the handywork my teeth had done on my hands, and my mother asked me if everything is alright.
Well, of course everything is alright. I have a job (Two jobs, even) and I have a car and a horse and a relatively peaceful place to live.
The thing is, that I’m pretty sure I’m alright. Mostly sure, even.
The problem that remains is, what if I’m not alright? What do I do? I already take the maximum amount of the drugs I can take. So I’m not sure what else there is for me at this point.
Some sleep might be good.
Or maybe even some hope and faith, some knowledge that this is just the time of year that crazy people tend to go a little crazier. I know that everything is fine.
I just need to work on accepting it.

Now if fall always looked like that lovely picture you have up there, and less like the cold and dreary gray day we had today, I bet many would feel better.
I hope an end to the hectic schedule is coming up soon.

I miss your blogging, if that makes you feel any better.
I emailed you a while back about being a guest interview on my blog … never heard anything … maybe you didn’t get it. Would you be interested in answering a handful of questions?
