My paper copy of NE came today. Maybe I’ll read it on the bus and pretend that I’m deep.

Great week overall. A couple things happened that put in a good mood. A few times I’ve walked down the street listening to Bonnie Tyler and felt awesome. Now normally I walk down the street AND listen to Bonnie Tyler, and don’t necessarily feel awesome, so it’s progress not attributable to Bonnie Tyler lyrics which ARE awesome on their own accord. I’ve kicked my own ass and made some small steps at taking care of old business, starting as early as Sunday, which as been good.

There was that whole consulting business back in Maine which a good handful of EVERYONE I knew there bailed on me on. Getting that sorted out, and paying for it. But someone’s got to. Turns out I get to pay more medical bills because of insurance lapses between startups. I guess that’s the cost of not working thirty years for a pension at some blue chip place. Taking care of that too though.

I went on a date this week too, it’s been a while since I did that, and that was a lot more fun that I could have hoped for. I had almost given up on that shit, having given it a shot and somehow came out of it feeling almost more lonely. Looks like I can still like people though.

Not a whole lot going on the last couple days otherwise I guess. Staying sane mostly, but glad for a couple happy days all the same, even if it’s possibly in my head. That’s the part that doesn’t like the winters anyways.
