Colorado outing
I'm heading to Colorado for the weekend, set to leave at 6am. Though I should already be sleeping. This week has been insane. I'm so worn out, but this has been planned. I'm taking someone who recently went through open heart surgery, who's the only grandpa I've ever known, even if we're not actually related. So I don't want to put it off, and ( Read more... ) -
Complacency
I've had a cold or somesuch for near a week now. I'm tired of it. I've had several colds and two sinus infections(bacterial requiring antibiotics) this year, since January. I had a three day weekend, which I'd hoped to use well, but being under the weather found rather wasted. I've been in a rather depressive state ( Read more... ) -
Re: Life Is A Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)
My mother returned to town several weeks ago. I'm living with her again. I'm losing it. I'm trying to get out. I have to spend my spare time trying to get a place to move. The first place did not work out due to a landlady who was crass and broke the lease when I found the tile in the bathtub surround was falling off with black mold behind it. The ( Read more... ) -
The chaos of this life, vis a vis, August begins
I'm currently experiencing quite a few of near-crisis level situations. Thus I'm trying to figure things out, sort them out, and find a means of getting out of here. Remaining will probably mean being here forever, if not my complete ruination. I'm not sure how much time is left before my mother loses everything. She's relying more and more on me ( Read more... ) -
Scenic routes in Colorado
I'm just posting a quick entry to let people know I'll be away for the weekend. The first vacation, of a sort, I'll have had since starting this new job. I feel I need to get away from things. Whether or not I can afford it, I just need it. I've got most stuff prepared and hope to get off work early enough tomorrow to leave during daylight in the ( Read more... ) -
First day blues
It's been an experience. 7AM-5:20PM with a staff meeting at lunch. I feel it's all very overwhelming. I don't know how I'll ever learn it all. InDesign isn't easy for someone just introduced to it, and there's a way they do everything at the paper. From the initial decisions on how many pages it'll be to laying it all out and figuring out which ads ( Read more... ) -
What next in the world?
I'm beginning to think that religion is the root of hatred, arrogance, war, death, and strife in our world. Serbians are uprising over the secession of Kosovo. They are upset because it's their spiritual heartland. Hadn't they been told those Serbians living there could continue living there with no restrictions? This isn't supposed to be another ( Read more... ) -
On the Primaries - I voted
Actually, I voted early. Today was the first day of early voting here in Texas, and I voted at the courthouse. I voted for Obama. I do hope he makes it to be president. I don't trust Hillary. She hides things in her policies, leaving things unspoken, and her staff can't answer questions regarding these things. I won't go into all of that now. I'm ( Read more... )
