It was indeed cold and dark when I got into my car to drive to work this morning. Orion rides high in the sky this time of year and the neighbors put lights on the roof and the lawn to scare away to demons of the night. I woke about half an hour after the solstice feeling rested and awake for the first time in weeks.

The rest of this post has just been deleted. I will not run that "husband" racket any longer. Time to look to the future and what can be done, not to gaze down at my feet and see the mud.
