I've got some rough stuff going on right now, but I am weathering it okay. None of it has to do with my state of mind. I'm pretty sturdy in that department now days.

1. Grandma had a stroke. She is recovering well, but it's still hard to see her like that.
2. I filed for bankruptcy at the end of July. The hearing earlier this month made me feel like a criminal.
3. I graduated from college last December, but have been unable to find a better job.

I'm doing what I can for grandma. The bankruptcy will be discharged by mid-November and it has been a huge relief so far. I don't ever want to use credit again. And I applied for six different jobs today. So I'm trying hard. Hopefully, something good will come through for me pretty soon.

However, despite all of that, my brain is functioning well. I'm not having any adverse reactions. A lot of people would be depressed if all of that hit them at once, even healthy people, but I'm okay.
