No, I'm still alive and kicking, though I missed the post last week. The dearest person to me is in the hospital again, with the worse things coming. I've been able to comment sporadically but couldn't come up with anything smart, useful or remotely interesting to post. Hospitals and exhaustion suck creativity out of me, and that's my excuse.

I'm a patient and kind person (well, I'm trying!) but sometimes I think: okay, if life gives you a lemon, you can make different things from it. Make a lemonade, get a tequila shot, put it in hot tea (gives a very good flavor!) or simply eat it with honey or sugar. Hey, it's loaded with vitamin C! But what would you do if are thrown into dirt, pardon my French? Hope that it has healing powers?

Now enough whining. I forgot to wear green yesterday (except maybe for my complexion by now), and there was no Irish coffee around. (Does simple coffee count?) Did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? If so, how? Also, if your life turns into a chaos, how do you keep yourself sane and grounded? Trip to Bahamas - or Ireland - is not an option.
