March Madness

Wow, it was midterms since I last published anything. Since then my husband has been diagnosed again with a cancer in his bladder. Luckily the cancer has not breached the bladder wall and he is currently getting a targeted chemo treatment for six weeks. He's a fighter  but it has been telling on him this time. Any and all good thoughts, prayers, and good wishes are appreciated.
I'm still getting irritable bowel syndrome problems and bouts of insomnia but other than that I have been doing okay. Have a check up later this month with my cardiologist but I don't suspect to find any worsening of my condition.
We've been painting the living room, or I should say that our daughter and granddaughter have been painting it, and it's slow going but looking good. It's quite a large room.
On the political front we have he who shall not be named still in the Whitehouse and what seems like hundreds of democrats filing to run for president in 2020. Who knows what will happen. I favor Beto but will vote for whoever wins the nomination for the Dems.
I've not been writing or doing any art work and basically wasting my time feeling sorry for myself. Of course after I feel sorry for myself I feel guilty for doing so because I'm pretty lucky having a great family, enough food, a roof over my head, an operational car, and enough money that allows me to stay home and do nothing. Go figure why I feel depressed, I'm at a loss to figure it out. If I tell a doctor I feel depressed they just want to give me a pill for it and I don't want that. I take enough pills as it is for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. .
Lately I find myself crying a lot and not just about real life happenings, but fictional happenings too. It's crazy but I don't guess it's harmful and in a way may be cathartic and therapeutic.
Anyway that's all that's been on my mind this morning. Hope you're having a great day whoever and wherever you are.
