Wow almost a week
since my last post- that doesn’t bode well for my productivity. My
mention of laundry day last week – Done but the loss was greater
than the accomplishment in some ways and totally without explanation-
still. The entire day was pretty much a bust – survivable but yet a
BUST.
I continue to make small inroads in my “to do” list but they are small. I HAVE really enjoyed my evenings BUT I’ve burned up a lot of firewood – I searched the internet yesterday and it’s available reasonably close just take a pocket full of cash be ready to load and unload yourself. Shock - a little more cash and you can forgo the load and unload and even the hauling- Imagine THAT . (Chuckle) A nice fire, a good book & beverage and the next thing I know is that it’s later than I think and later than I’m accustomed to being up and awake.
My older computer in the house may never boot again. It had gotten unpredictable and I want to have a some backup media ready before I try to get it started again. Mostly its me having to setup my bill paying, banking etc. , library access and all those things that is a major irritation to me. I’ll probably order another system much like the one I have in the bar to replace the one in the house – My newer one caused me some grief setting up but it was mostly me and not the computer. If I don’t wait too long the experience of the first should help with the second. (chuckle)
I plan to try to improve my “The News” posts – we’ll see how that goes.
Update - Well an improvement already - Hey it COULD be an improvement- Somehow I stayed pretty busy all day till late afternoon. Unfortunately nothing note worthy was accomplished SOoOo. On the way back home I decided to stop at the Legion after dropping off and putting away perishables in the fridge I went to the Legion. Yes I guess I have to admit that I sort of like people- I like the differences, the eccentricities of people and sometimes I actually like the people. (chuckle) I'm starting to know who slips away into a bad mood quickly, who just wants to talk, who wants to listen (boy, are they in trouble). I am here to tell you politics are EVERYWHERE! I don't mean Republican against that other party either. But politics as in who is on whose side and who needs help to deal with who's in charge. Those kind of things - personality politics. Not being much of a joiner in my life I don't expect that is really news to my readers. I've belonged to a church and a Lions club - Well those two I joined voluntarily other organizations like the Army was sort of less than totally voluntary (chuckle). Come to think of it even that was voluntary - I was offered a medical discharge during basic training but elected to turn it down. I still don't take credit for that decision and wonder what possessed me to do that. Ego- Yep, loss of self respect - Arrogance - Yeah almost certainly. Yep and I'm sure a host of other influences I still don't recognize and probably don't want to. (chuckle) r> Oh Yeah - the Legion, a couple that I have sat close to before and they never showed any interest in joining in the conversations abruptly became "bar room" friends. Somehow I find all that interesting. I doubt anyone else finds it nearly as interesting as I do but then that's OK too. It's only a collection of my thoughts anyway. So you best be ready for certain degree of randomness. (ha ha ha)
Along with all the preceding uplifting and inspiriting narrative I'll add I am going to BUY some firewood - I guess. My evenings in front of the fireplace, book in hand have proven to be very satisfying. Worth an investment and maintenance etc. I sort of wish I could understand that whole thing better but I have learned that my understanding of life's eccentricities isn't required- physically, emotionally or most importantly, Spiritually.
