Nervous Breakdown

Yes, I'm on the verge. Dear Mr. Google, please define "nervous breakdown:" "A time of mental illness when a person cannot think clearly. It often happens after someone has been through a difficult or stressful time."

Ok, it looks like I'm a prime candidate. Sign me up, stamp my forehead and pack my pajamas. (Is fantasizing about being hospitalized in the mental health ward wrong? It does sound like a vacation: lots of sleep, living in your pajamas, don't have to take care of anyone, people make your food for ya, no dishes or laundry, you can drool and no one cares, not shave your legs, run up and down the halls naked and have lots and lots of colorful pills!)

If the last 2 years weren't hell enough, let's just heap on the pain and stress, the stress and the pain, and let's go for a full blown "nervous breakdown." I think I deserve the right, the chance, to have one.

I am reaching my breaking point. I can feel it. This is your forewarning, my friend Dell. If you don't hear from me, I may have upped and moved to Mexico, the Bahamas, or Kokomo (if that is, indeed, a real place and not just a Beach Boys song. Oh look, something new for me to Goggle.)

But first, I must go change the laundry loads (again).
