tissue count

This past week has sucked.

It's pretty lame timing, because my Christmas week was awesome.

But not this week. This week has sucked. Big time.

I have an amazing Christian counselor I see when things are tough. And he doesn't know this, but I have a "tissue indicator" when I visit. He always keeps a box of tissues by the couch and I can tell how good or bad I'm doing according to how many tissues I use during our hour. On a normal visit, I might use 3-4 tissues (crying, blowing my nose, etc). If it's pretty bad, I might use 6-7.

Yesterday's visit? 15 tissues.

This is a 15 tissue issue, friends.

When I'm feeling better, I'll share the story of why it's been a hard week. But for now I'll just say: You're welcome, Kleenex, Inc. I am keeping you in business.
