I should be clearer.

[serene]

My life does not suck. I'm generally happy, and things (most things, anyway) are going well. There's just something that I don't have that I want, and that's not happymaking. But thank you for your concern, all, both here and in email. I'm really fine, just frustrated.

But I have ten pounds of meat marinating in the fridge, so how could life be bad? Or something. ;-)
