I feel my stress level dropping and came to realize what *they* have told me all along - let go of trying to control my life. I can't control any of this.

I've picked up model making again.

I'm teaching myself about the stars.

Funny story - I went to the grocery store on Tuesday and it was crazy. The lines stretched all the way to the back of the store on both sides. So I decided to ham it up. I go on with "My wife said go to the grocery store, it will be fine. My wife said I'd be back in an hour. My wife said there wouldn't be anyone here". Without missing a beat, a 75 year old lady in front of me turned around and said "Sounds like your wife just wanted to get rid of you". Everyone cracked up.
