Hard times?

Gosh, is all I have to say, and that I feel a bit numb to what is going on around me.  Life altering changes both good and bad.  I felt this most acutely when after tying to clean and loofing around the house I started watching college basketball when the news of the police being shot was first broken.  A uneasy tension fell on me as I hoped they were just shot and not dead.  But like the sober news that was later told the threads of my friends and family's lives has turned from initial sad news to even worse news.  But life continues ahead undetered, Pilli is fully recovered from her bout with the flu but much like getting Obama in office there is going to be a period of time that all the crap that was hidden before will be coming to light.  Its painful and super unsettling to our detached public and person pyche to be confronted by so much horrific and bad news, 6 people killed this weekend, agh...sick family members and ridiculous economic times.  I pray for help for everyone but damn, it feels like things are starting to fall apart all over.
