uphill climb

all i say is, i should not feel guilty that i can count so many blessings in my life.

this is because every two years or so, our family goes through a tsunami level kind of vicissitude that leaves us gasping and facing an unsuspected new direction in its wake. the summary goes, sgp nj sgp thailand sgp tx va, with additional spanners thrown in from time to time.

today we discover that J1 will have to rehash his college apps two years down, when he finishes his military obligation, because colleges only defer enrolment for one year. i am distressed enough to feel like an additional metaphor, and sisyphus comes to mind.

so it's good thing i can count so many blessings besides.
