ache

I have an ache that's settled deep inside this week. It's a myriad of things, really, mixed into a massive melting pot of confusion, hurt, sadness, frustrations, to-do lists, and so on. Truly, I'm not running around depressed, and I've been somewhat busy with life in general. But this ache is keeping me off-line more than usual and feels like a rock in my gut. A migraine that's settled in over the past few days is a major contributing factor to everything as well. I have been to New York as I mentioned not long ago, and very much want to post about it (quite a fabulous trip), but it hasn't seemed a good week to do so. "This too shall pass," as my mother likes to say, but in the meantime, I'm going to be nursing a killer headache, licking some wounds and attempting to decompress a bit.
