We’re almost a month into 2013 and so far I’m not very happy at how it’s gone.

I began the year unemployed, having been laid off two weeks before Christmas.  On New Year’s Eve, after being sick for more than a week during the holiday, I finally went to the doctor to be told I had the flu.  I got really sick after that.  Finally over it, but I’ve been fighting sinus headaches ever since.

In addition, a good friend of mine from college was hospitalized with kidney disease.  He will have to have dialysis for the rest of his life now.  He’s one of the nicest people in the world and doesn’t deserve to go through this.

Tonight, I discovered that another good friend was told the lump she had removed from her breast is cancerous.  They caught it early, but it’s still not something you want to hear.

This has been what I’ve dealt with so far this year.  And it’s not even February.
