Rant 217 4/8/12 Subject: Hard Months

Rant number 217


Today I very much wanted to change the subject a little bit, lest you think I am some kind of Olympic basher.

I more wanted to talk about July now its gone. In the space of one short month, several things took place - such as my car being destroyed by a sheep (although luckily things are looking to be getting better in that respect) and my poor rat being very poorly.

Some months just seem to relentlessly want to test your resolve and beat you down. To remind you how vulnerable you are, that you aren't as grown up as you sometimes let yourself feel you are. To mess with you!

July was just such a month, and it was until the close of it that things got better.

I just don't understand why life needs to be like that. I wasn't alone in having a hard month I'm sure, in fact - I know of some others who had a pretty awful time too. I'm not saying that my problems were worse than any one else's, I'm not being selfish or narcissistic. I'm just saying that July - a month that is meant to be sunny and joyful - was a bit of a bitch!

Once again of course, I'm not blaming July in particular. A month is not a person either malignant or benign. It's just a collection of days - and days aren't people either.

It just feels like sometimes though, a Month really needs to end for things to get better and feel better - and July was just that month this year.

Who knows, next year July might be great? Hard to tell really.

Anyway, lets just hope August carries on being better.
