some days

...I wake up in a depressed funk (to put it more lightly than it actually feels), wondering if this'll be the day that I get a phone call saying a family member has been killed, or has had a heart attack or stroke. Or I go home to find that one of my cats (Daisy, Sue, Tater, Goober) has finally manifested some previously festering illness (like Gomer's acting oddly one day, only for us to find out a few days later that he had cancer in his jaw). :'-(
