Well…it was a night last night and I was not happy to see the snow on the car this morning…but, it did give me a chance to see how the car is going to be in the snow…seems to be okay but everything seems numb…seems to stick okay and it was cool to slide it a little going out to get the papers…braking and steering seem okay but really light…going to have to calibrate my driving for this one..at least it doesn’t feel dangerous….I did have dreams that included glue, Mars, and paint brushes…and they were really weird…but a little fun…might have something to do today…may have lunch with T and then other plans later…but, right now, the coffee is done and I do need to read the papers…more later…

Well…with congress out of town, there just isn’t much going on to write about…I have already done one or two on how to break the stalemate in Washington….and I really don’t have the desire to write about that again….there was a pretty good soccer match on this morning with Man U beating Newcastle 4-3…but letting Newcastle score three and having to score one in the last minute of regular time to pull it out? Just a porous defense again by Man U and it is going to bite them…the other good news was the Man City lost so that puts Man U up by 7 points in the table….it’s kind of hard to type in the dark…maybe I should turn some lights on….and get a glass of water…I am so bored that I am going to go back and read the online papers again…maybe there was news since this morning…

Well…this used to be my favorite day of the year but it is just Wednesday now…and I am running late from just being so down about being broke…don’t want to do anything….but I did decide to go out and get the papers and have some coffee…maybe that will get me running…who knows…I did have weird dreams last night but I can’t get motivated to write about it…so, I won’t…

Well…it has been a pretty good Tuesday and I am getting ready for cocktail time so I thought I’d come back for one more while I still feel creative…and that is one of the weird things for the day…I shouldn’t have had this much to say with all of things going on right now…I wonder if it is avoidance of the holiday since I don’t celebrate it? Who knows? There was something kind of cool out on the trail that I did want to pass on…you remember that I told you about the solitary christmas tree ornament that I saw on the trail a few days back? Well…today there were almost thirty of them on the same trail with one tree almost completely decorated…that made me smile again and my thoughts instantly went to the motivation and planning that went with the act. Who does this kind of thing? Oh, a bad thought just pierced my smiling…what if someone stole the ornaments from someones display at their house? Crap…I just took something neat and ruined it….crap, again….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done, again, but I have finally learned to tamp down my guilt about it…I did sleep too much last night with not getting out of bed until after 7 and that is just totally weird….the night was kind of a bust with Netflix being down so I had to watch regular tv in lieu of my marathons that I wanted to do…at least Firefly was on and it gave me something to do….I am thinking about going out to get the paper….I just hate that everything is closed today and there are 20 pct of the country doesn’t celebrate this holiday have to force celebrate it…after all, it is just Tuesday to us….more later…

Well…my site has been doing dome weird stuff over the past few days and as you can see, yesterday’s morning post has disappeared somehow and I’m not sure where it went…so, I guess I’ll have to make up for it today…there was one funny thing that happened on the way home from pool yesterday…another Miata driver pulled up beside me and gave me the Miata in the winter nod and thumbs up that I have gotten a couple of times now…and that was pretty cool….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…but, it looks like I’ll be staying in from now on until I get some money coming in…at least the next two days…as I texted T a few minutes ago…I have the cocktail materials laid in and I am planning on hibernating for the next two days…I am going to make a beef roast that J and K gave me but that is about it for tomorrow…still having the everything getting stolen dream that I have had over the past few days and I am getting tired of it…not much to do today…I think I will try to get to the cleaning that I have been putting off and, with the post disappearing yesterday, I’ll have to do two more of these today to catch up…

Well…I know that things have not been too topical around here lately and one of the reasons is the whole being broke thing is weighing on me so heavily that I am out of sorts most of the time and my brain is just not working as it has and should…and I haven’t figured a way to get past it as yet….there is also the whole not celebrating the holiday thing, too that makes me feel like an outsider at times and I just want them to be over…the ads for all of the stuff that I can’t purchase because I’m broke is another reason that is weighing on me…and the whole “no one wants me” thing that comes from putting out hundreds of resumes with no bites is starting to create this perfect storm of creativity destruction that is confusing to me and I’m not sure of the methods to counteract it right now…okay…I’ll stop whining and get on with it…maybe not today, but tomorrow for sure….I think the air has gotten heavier…at least it feels that way….

Well…waiting for the coffee to finish so I thought I’d get an early start on this one…it was an okay day yesterday with getting the chance to hang out with T for a while and have some fun…but that was about it for the entire day but that’s how it goes when you are broke…and that’s okay, too, I’ll live through it….I did dream last night…weird ones where people were stealing everything I own…and doing it blatantly…not sure what that was about but it was quite strange….not much to do today…one of my sons is coming over to show me his new car so I have to clean up around here a little….but, right now, I’m going to go get some coffee and read the papers…

One thing I forgot…T got me a Christmas present and I was just so surprised…some really cool hand made French soap…you have to know her to understand that…but a really great thought…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I didn’t get much accomplished but that is getting to be quite normal…feel pretty crappy this morning and the allergies are still causing some of it…I did get to see K’s baby and hang out with them for a while and that was fun…slept pretty crappy last night, though, since I forgot the melatonin…and there were no dreams to speak of…I do get to see T this aft and hang out for a couple of drinks so that will be fun….okay, this is not flowing at all so I’m going to stop here and come back later…

Okay…feeling a bit restored after the coffee and papers but that is being counteracted by the snow falling outside and the realization that the Miata is not going to be the best car in the snow…I almost spun it yesterday getting on the e-way and it was just wet…I think my skills with rear wheel drive need to be resurrected and honed….we’ll see how bad it is when I go out later today….not much else to do today…I do have to get this place cleaned up a little since my son is coming over tomorrow to show me his new car and I have been a little lax lately…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool finally, so that was cool…but it was also a cocktail night so I feel a little slow this morning…I did have a bad dream last night that the Miata got wrecked by someone’s stupidity and that was not a good thing…but, in reality, it is running just like a new car so I guess I should live in reality…as much as I can anyway…the coffee is done and the papers are huge today so I am going to get to them and try to get the energy up….

Okay…I did have coffee and even went out to get my hair cut…I had a coupon that saved me 5 bucks that was expiring so I thought I’d get that done…I do like the way the car drives on the snowies…even in the rain it is much, much better…and it looks like I will be able to see how it works in the snow tomorrow when the rain changes over later in the day since I may be meeting up with T for drinks in the aft…okay…need to read the online papers to get some topics and my last cup of coffee is getting cold so I need to go…more later…
