Rotten couple of weeks

It's been a rotten couple of weeks, but I am trying to rally. 49th birthday is coming up, and it looms large - I wanted to reach a couple of goals by that time, so that I could start my 49th year at a run, but it doesn't look like I'm going to have much to report. However, there's still a month to go. I could still lose a few pounds, and get some good weeks at my back. It's a constant battle, but this video of Catalina Ferro performing "Anxiety Group" at the NYC Urbana Poetry Slam helped! When I was younger I attacked depression and anxiety in a creative way - and I'd like to get some of that back.
