Running on the Treadmill...

Ok, we sometimes get this, especially in middle age.
Last year, or rather 11 months ago, I felt caught in a trap. I am too old to get a new job at this level, but stuck in a position if
1. If I do well, I get stuck doing the same things
2. If I do poorly, I get stuck doing the same things

No matter what, I am stuck in a cold rust-belt town and an old fat wife. That, plus a family crisis (pedophile idiot) and physical pain (torn meniscus in the knee, though I did know that at the time) made for being down in the dumps for a while.

But .....these things often don't last; it does get better. Oh sure, the job is still nowhere and the wife is older and even fatter, but it does have periods of fun. And yes, it pays the bills and provided health insurance to fix that torn meniscus.

The body is healing and things are much sunnier.
