Not sure what to write. There's so much going on; so much depressing and overwhelming stuff. Sharon might be losing her house, I might be losing my job. I already can't keep up with all the bills because of all the cats. And all the work. I can't stop helping out just a little bit...but I'm sinking.


There's the unimaginable devastation in Japan. There's the unimaginable misery of countries erupting in violence after years and years of unimaginable misery under the rule of self-serving, sociopathic dictators. There's the unreported endless misery of small and large animals in these places where even human lives are worth nothing. Then there are the problems I deal with in my own, relatively safe, relatively enlightened spot on the world map. These still keep my mind working as I fall asleep and as I wake up and probably in between as well.

Then there's Diane locking all her dogs in cages and letting them starve to death. That just throws a more depressing pall over everything else. There's something that didn't have to happen. I want her to pay for it, but how can you ever really pay for something like that? There's no way to pay for that. Not unless you can bring them all back.


Who can I trust? Who can't I? How do I balance it all and live a worthwhile life?
