Adversity is the test for strong men.

Went to lunch at Chang’s Mongolian Grill with Wendi, and the title of this entry is what the fortune cookie I received had to say.

Hell, it’s not even funny with the “in bed” addendum.

So the current estimates range from three months to a full year before I regain some semblance of stability and sanity (okay, enough with the annoying alliteration already) after moving away from the only real family I’ve ever known. Of course, once you start getting depressed over one thing, all of your other depressive triggers start to fire… Unworthy, Incapable, Clumsy, Inadequate, Pathetic, Irresponsible and Ugly. Yeah, those are the Seven Dwarves of my negative ego. Gnarly old buggers.

So, what do I have going for me? Friends who refuse to let me beat up on myself. If that many people care so much, maybe I’m not such a bad person after all.

Right? Right.

To wrap this up on an appropriately positive note, on the way to Chang’s we saw something cute: A pickup with black lettering across the tailgate spelling out, “Clifford The Big Red Dodge.”

Hey, I thought it was funny…

    chuckle – how come I never thought of that when I had a Dodge?

    Awww…. I feel for you, if that’s worth anything.

    Though, you know I only replied so I could tell you my personal funniest fortune cookie message, “You enjoy competative sports.” 😛

    Mahahaha. Both the daughterling and I laughed heartily. The spousal unit looked askance.

    Funny things on vehicles, yay! Hell, sometimes it’s the only smile I get all day, unless I’ve talked to my Number One Internet Fanboy. *hugs*
