Not looking for sympathy, or empathy purely info

I am continually amazed at the outpouring of support that I get from my brethren here. I have not been on as much as I would like to be and I am continually bombarded with well wishes, and queries of concern on my PM's as well as good friends passing on the concerns of the inmates of CA via text and email as well. I tell you what has been going on in my life only for information purposes not for my brothers and sisters of the leaf to feel sorry for me. This has been an extraordinarily brutal few months for me. It started in the beginning of August when I came down with a Lung affliction that knocked me on my ass for about 6 weeks. In that time I started a new job, which I love but it way more stressful than the last one. This increased stress and lowered immunity caused me another issue that I had to deal with, call it what you want, anxiety fueled depression is what the docs tell me so then that needs to be taken care of. I get that all rolled up and back under control then it is time to focus outward. About 6 months ago my wife decided to throw her hat in the ring for a partnership at her accounting firm, she was about 6 months late in doing so and it was an uphill battle from the get go, she busted her ass to do it and I am very very proud of her for all the effort she put in. Well we found out a week ago that due to the economy that they will be pulling back on partnership promotions. While it was a long shot she was emotionally spent and the end result was it really hit her hard so I spent my free time being her friend and support system as she has done for me through all my trials and tribulations. All is good and as the trooper she is, she is back on track. Lo and behold now I have a brutal sinus cold. Ugggh its been a trying few months. Couple this in with three young wonders (Alex, Drew, and Piper) and all their swimming, piano lessons, and just plain being kids and life has been a somewhat of a trainwreck. I see the light at the end of the tunnel though and I am looking forward to getting things settled down before the holiday season. So to all my friends, thank you for your concerns, well wishes, and inquiries. The concern is not necessary as there are many many people in the world that are having far more dire issues in their lives than me. I am am alive and well and reading as many posts as I can, sometimes I just don't have the energy to post.
