WEEK 44
“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone”
Joni Mitchell
Not a bad week considering how poopy the last two have been. This year is five-sixths over, and I feel a lot of the good things I’ve written about sound like weather or stock reports, getting extra sleep or getting stuff free, or at a discount rate. Not terribly profound, I’m afraid. Still, I would say other than my beloved Pippin being dead, things are better than they were a year ago.
One thing I’ve learned about is the “power of nice.” I think that may have cost me a lot. In the house I grew up in there was little room for “nice,” either you were right or wrong, there was little apology or forgiveness. Some days it’s all I can do to keep from telling potential clients to go fuck themselves. I’m wondering if I had been nicer to people in the past (with or without different parents, psychotherapy, anti-depressants) if I’d be an anchorwoman now.
It is Halloween as I type this. I can’t remember a Halloween on which I didn’t work. Next year Halloween will be on a Saturday and I plan to take it off if I’m still in the same job. And I plan on wearing a costume I like – I’m shopping online. Unfortunately, the styles I’m looking for for a woman of my height awake seem to be in the plus size or drag queen sections.

WEEK 43
I feel like shit, what with last week’s ass-kicking and this week’s ass-reaming. Saw the cardiologist Wednesday. He sais “you have a hard life.” Also read an article about adult attention deficit disorder. The guy who literally wrote the book is here in DC. The book is over 300 pages long. How do they expect an attention-disordered person to read that?
About a week or two ago I found a new web page. Interestingly a lot of things I have read in the last week seem to say the same thing – if you don’t show love and respect to/for yourself, why should other people? Unfortunately, there’s only so much makeup you can glop onto your face, and so many birthday/Christmas cards you can send to people in the hope that they’ll reciprocate.

WEEK 42
Well, I got fucked over royally at work. No polite way to put it. All those weekends, overnights, holidays for nothing. The economy is at least not doing any worse than it was this time last week. And fuel prices went up slightly, but oil is well under a hundred dollars a barrel. So flight prices have gone down some, definitely less than they were before I lost my job in 2001.
I am taking advantage of this and going to Sarasota as usual for Christmas. Let the guy they promoted over me work Christmas Day and Christmas Eve.

JANEY'S NEW BABY!
Janey and Pandora proudly announce the newest addition to their family. She is a brown and white Abyssinian sow, adopted from the Montgomery County Humane Society, and is anywhere from four to ten months old. Her name is Perpetua after Bridget Jones’ boss and after St. Perpetua who was also a nursing mother. Unfortunately for her, her shelter name was “Beet,” her two children, whom I believe will be adopted by someone else soon, are “Beet I” and “Beet II.”
Here is her picture, she is much cuter up close:

WEEK 41
Salem stock is down to one dollar and one cent per share.
XM stock is 43 cents a share.
Citadel stock is 35 cents per share – serves them right.
So why am I not freaking out? Why am I not lower than a duck’s behind? Maybe because out streets are not being patrolled by soldiers. Trains are running on time. Children still have milk to drink. At least for now.

WEEK 40
Not a bad week. My red cell count is back to normal, so that can't be why I'm so tired. Hopefully I will feel better now that the bailout/recovery/stimulus bill has passed.A realization: not everything at work is a Plot To Get Me. And sarcastic, paranoid remarks stifled/unsaid certainly can't hurt.

THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY THERE
Wow, this year is three-quarters over. This blog is not going as planned. There is nothing really profound in it, nothing terribly positive, uplifting or earth-shaking. Nothing profound or inspiring. A lot of the good things have to do with free stuff, food, sleep and automotive matters. Still, as the title goes, I am finding my life doesn’t suck too much. For starters, I can say I probably don’t have cancer, I’m not on dialysis, I haven’t been foreclosed on or fired and no close relatives have died this year. I guess it’s a start.
