Feast or Famine

The feeder is nearly empty, but little birdie still tries for a little dinner. I am having MAJOR issues with my computer, something about a Trojan and a worm. I have not found time to deal with it, which undoubtedly means lots of money to get it fixed. When there is the opportunity to post my blips it will be in groups. This time of sporadically blipping and posting is dubiously called my Season of Feast or Famine.

Is patience learned only through suffering? Do we ever get to graduate from this lesson?
