Complexities of Life All So Simple or Just Multifarious?

Oral surgery over, evil tooth removed, affects of 1979 car crash live on. Was told it was simple, take "10 minutes," turned out to be "complex" and took over an hour. Isn't that just like life?

The most simple things can really be very complex. I've been feeling stupid lately. There is just so much I don't know. I am over 50 and tick tock tick tock; no matter what I learn, there is so much more I never will. Sometimes the library overwhelmed me in this way---I could never read every book.

When I was a child there were no college educated adults in my family. My mother read to me every day, my brother was a whiz at math, but our daily vocabulary was mostly from the seeds of an Irish farmer. I could read words but didn't know how to pronounce them, if they were "big words."

Even during by career with the city, I often said stupid things like "mute" point. And, of course there was a co-worker who enjoyed making fun at my expense. Whatever, but I do feel so stupid and besides reading all I can online, at 50 I'll never figure it all out.

Anyone with a chronic illness can tell you that learning is not as easy as it once was. Even remembering is a challenge; but, still I will keep at it. I always loved philosophy. The one that got away.

Grammar, my sentence structure needs work; my spelling is atrocious and I refuse to give in to "spell check" all the time. Oh, heck, maybe just tax time bumming me.
