The last few weeks have been kind of hectic and draining. Last Wednesday I wrecked my car. Hit a patch of ice, slid off the road, down a hill, into a pole. I wasn't hurt. The car was. I spent nearly a week with my brother-in-law trying to fix it. Had to replace the radiator. Sounds simple enough, but it wasn't. Ran into all kinds of problems. The car is running again, but it's not as pretty as it was. Then, this week I got sick. Had a pretty bad cold. I still have it, but it's not so bad anymore. My head is still stuffy, still dizzy from time to time, but the incessant coughing has mostly stopped and the fever is gone. Unfortunately Jay caught it.
Work is going okay. It will be much better when I can work from home, but I can deal with this right now. The day goes by fairly quickly, I'm learning more about how to do my job properly every day. They provide a pretty wide learning curve and give you plenty of time to get up to speed.
Despite car wrecks and financial worries and being sick, I'm doing well. I have a job, my car works, I have a house, I'm in a relationship that makes me happy. I don't really have much I can complain about. I do anyway. I'm good at complaining. I'm trying not to so much. I want to start focusing more on the good things in my life. I figure, we all have good things and bad things in our lives. Now and always. In the past, and the present, I've found myself concentrating more on the bad stuff. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to enjoy the good things that I have, because there are plenty of them. Life is full of pain and misery, but it is also full of joy and happiness. I think I'd rather spend my time on the latter. I get so tired of being bitter and angry ... it's just a natural predisposition. I need to actively focus on things that make me happy instead of obsessing about the bad stuff.
Like, Saturday was good. Me and Jay, and my sister and her husband went out. We went bowling and then to eat at Palominos. We played two games of bowling and I came in last both games, but it was still fun. And the food was good at Palominos. Also, I just had a good time spending time with people that I love. Actually, the whole weekend was good, aside from me being sick and then Jay getting sick. Mostly we just finished watching season six of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I had thought it was going to be a busy weekend, with a party on Friday, the Saturday plans, and then a party on Sunday, but both parties were canceled. I enjoyed the relaxing weekend with Jay, and I'm hoping next weekend neither of us are sick.
I just had a very amusing (to me) mental image of a mash-up between Lord Of The Rings and Silence Of The Lambs. Gollum, as Buffalo Bill, leaning over the pit, looking panicked, it pans down to the girl holding Precious, the dog. Gollum says, "It puts The Precious in the b (Read More)
I am in desperate need of the catharsis one experiences upon slitting someone's throat with a razor-sharp blade followed by the joy and elation obtained from watching the life drift from their eyes turning them to dead, glassy orbs as I am filled with the energy that used t (Read More)
I rushed out of work at 5pm
Plopped my ass in my car again
Welcome to the land of lazyness,
hey, gotta get my rest in.
Started up the car
headed home for my free time
Look at the street and I see a really bad sign.
Traffic looks so crazy
Everybody's in my way, s (Read More)
I envy a person who can hear their alarm go off, turn it off, and get up out of bed, ready to start the day. I live by the snooze button. It is my best friend in the morning. Well, it and my coffee. I'd marry it if congress would hurry up and pass that bill legalizing m (Read More)
So, my car's wrecked, I told ya that. The bumper was precariously attached. It began to become unattached. I'll fix it with some Gorilla Glue just as soon as the snow is gone and the temperature is more moderate. For now, I removed it and placed it on my porch. So the (Read More)

Depressed. And I'm quite tired of being depressed. There's no reason for me to be depressed. No logical reason, anyway. I'm insane, that's obvious. I have great friends. What's left of my family, my sister, brother, nephews and niece, et al, are wonderful. I'm w (Read More)
