What's that noise?

Sooner or later this has to happen in my situation. Between the financial crap I'm dealing with because ODJFS can't do the job they are entrusted with, the seemingly endless weekly chemo appointments and a stoma from Hell, plus the lack of creative output had me awaken this morning to a down mood. After all these past months of being one of the resident smart-asses, a few encouraging words from one of the nurses helped a bit.
