Everything is broken.

I've hit another rough patch. My truck is broken. My Microsoft Word is broken. My printer is broken. My cell phone is broken. My faith in the education Early Childhood (ECE) Educators get is broken. My faith in the police to protect us is broken. David Crosby is broken, though his music lives on. Did Dylan write the song "Everything is Broken"? I'll have to check. For now I'll post "Black Days," by Soundgarden. Even the lead singer to that song is broken. Ever been through a rough patch?

Yes, "Everything Is Broken" was on his "Oh Mercy" album. You're sounding pretty down, my friend. And, yes...rough patches seem to be regular roads on the journey for some of us. Why? Because we are the ones who seem to be able to handle it, which I really think is unfair...but, what the hell do I know? I am sorry you are going through this particular patch. HUGS.

I have to agree, in my own world much is broken as well. I keep plugging along...there are days that is extremely difficult. Just take care of yourself, get your truck running if possible, and get your phone either replaced or fixed so you can call for help if the next shoe drops!! The main thing is, take care of yourself. You have many friends who care about you here.

Call for help. I laughed. My landline IS still working, but last time I called Comcast, they hung up on me.

Hoping things get better for you - and soon. Rough patches - yah - the story of my life. I wish I could simply take some sandpaper and run it over those rough spots . . . if only it were that easy .

I say as long as you are not broken, I wish you luck in solving your problems and will put in a good word for you in my prayers tonight, As requested with a real nice beat Everything Is Broken by Bob Dylan just the man who I would think had such a song.

Yes, I was going through one last week when out water pipe was broken, leaked into the ceiling and walls so they were broken when the guys came and cut them up, then I fell and hurt my knee, so my knee felt like it was broken (probably just sprained), so I hear ya and feel for you. But cheer up, better days are coming!

Till I find a way out, I get anxious when things break down. It is getting tougher as one is faced with recordings of numbers to press which sadly leads us nowhere!

I'm sorry you're in that space right now. It's not a fun place to be. I know you'll get through it, one step at a time, it's just hard.
