A Nice Day

It's a lovely day here.

I always keep the windows open until I can no longer stand the heat, but today-- in the early afternoon, there's a nice cool sea breeze blowing through the apartment.

On this day, I feel no regret about once again leaving Louisiana.

I am concerned for Edward however. He leaves on Thursday for Boston University, and he's never lived so far from home.

Yes, he is still going to school... he's enrolled in an LL.M. Program in Banking and Financial Law.

It's for the purpose of specialization ( translate to: more money ... or at least that is what I have been led to believe). No, I'm not financing this ... he's getting a loan. ;-)

I think he just wants to continue going to school forever much like my first cousin William. Oh, Gawd... that's a story for another day.

Twenty Years Ago

My sons twenty years ago.

Darn It

Fell asleep right before Johnny got home today and didn't wake up 'til almost 10:00.

No supper for him...no nothing. He told me he ate some chips and salsa. I'm sure he was too tired to fix himself anything else. He's been working so hard.

He said he talked to me when he got home, but I don't remember it.
I also missed Erica's birthday. Damn.

I feel like a dog :(

Hairy

Another night without sleep.

Decided to look at the news, and among all the political crap and depressing war news, I found a story about a man from China who suffers from a specific condition -- I cannot remember the exact scientific name, but the main symptom is an extremely hairy body... 96 percent of the Chinese fellow's body is covered with hair.

Maybe I've simply looked at too many pictures while photoshopping.

Yes, I believe in evolution, but...it's still disturbing. Reminds me that human DNA is 98% identical to that of chimps. *Shuddering* Why does this bother me so much ?

Yes, I'm bored and still feeling quite blah. Yes, I want to whine.

Ugh

Oh, I feel so blah. blah. blah. blah.

Defrag

Did a defrag today and it took hours, but then, I do have 120 GB of crowded space and it's been awhile. My whole life can be summed up in the contents of this computer.

My brothers both called me today. Daniel is having computer trouble and wanted to know what I thought. I told him to defrag. (I wanted to tell him to get a job, but I know he can't.) David has to undergo another MRI. They both said that Mother would be back home from her trip tomorrow.

God, I wish I could piece all their lives back together as easily as I can manage this hard disk.

Growing Old

Aging is life's way of saying, "Gotcha !!"

I was confident, self-assured, smart and sassy. Why wouldn't I be since I was certain that I had everything figured out...even growing old.

Then I got sucker punched.

Wisdom

I really do wish that I were wise.

There is someone whose blog I regularly read and there is so much I wish I could say... could put into words to reassure her, but the words will not come.

Maybe tomorrow.
