Bacon

 

If bacon does not solve the problem, then you need more bacon.  

No, bacon does not solve all problems, but at least now you are dealing with your problems with bacon in your hands.  That's a start.

I keep going back to liminal points and I believe Cheryl and I are in the middle of one right now.  That period of time where many doors are closing, but many others are opening.  As humans, we resist change, but often, upon reflection later, those are the key moments that shape who we become.  

So much of my life has changed and is not what I expected it to be at this stage of my life.  Most of it is actually better than I imagined it could be, but those things that are not up to my expectations seem to niggle at me and keep me awake at night.  I am settling into our gentle peaceful life, but now that I am not used to chaos, when chaos inevitably hits from time to time, I am less prepared to deal with it.  Things that I used to gloss over now irritate me because I am trying to be better than who I used to be.  I am hopeful that as we exit this liminal period, that things settle down and I can ride out my last 6 years of work taking time off as needed to help me cope with the bureaucracy which seems to be ever-increasing and even more confusing.
