I hope life is treating you well.

But if it's not, as I always say, we just have to get through it, don't we?

And, you know, sometimes I feel like maybe that sounds like something I just say.

But it really is not.

Like, I mean, we all know that sometimes life is hard.

And sometimes life is hard for me, obviously.

I think I feel like I do have my fair share of moaning on here.

um but I really you know this weekend I had a really tough weekend because I I spent it with my mom which was really nice but also very confronting um in terms of her Alzheimer's and just how serious it is now and the fact that we are in a very late stage of it and um you know you're when you are living with someone who has a condition like this and when you are loving someone who has a condition like this it is just like a very long period of grieving

in which you're not really allowed to be grieving because the person is still there but they're not and you have no choice but to get on with your life even if you feel broken

I'm not going to cry in this podcast today.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I do.

I mean it when I say that not every day can be good.

And we do all go through times and days that are really hard.

And I really think of all of you when I say that, that like I know I can only imagine the things that are going on in your lives right now.

And I really am so grateful that you choose to have this podcast be part of it, whether it's a great distraction for you or whether it's entertainment for you or whether it's something you can put on and listen to with someone else even maybe who's going through it.

But whatever purpose the podcast serves in your life, I'm just so glad to be a part of it.

And, you know, honestly, doing it is a great distraction for me.

So, yeah, that's all.

Just wanted to say I really appreciate you guys.

Thank you so much also to ACAST for having me on the network.
