*blows away dust*
So how crazy is this?? It's been around 4 years since I updated this with any regularity!
I'd like to get back into the habit of writing things down. Twitter is almost entirely useless for dialogue and Facebook even seems too small for expanded thoughts. I'm not exactly sure what I'll write about at any given minute but I'd like to re-approach this as what it is, a journal. So my "concept of the now" is to just write once a day with what happened or as the mood strikes I suppose.
Today I started off gathering my meds (for those who may not remember I'm diabetic) for refills. I really need to get in better shape if I'm ever going to have any hope of kicking it. I won't whine because I'm sure there's already a dictionary's worth in existence. But I'm also hoping on using the journal to write about my diet, health, exercise and all that. I'd like to start with some photos and measurements and goals. More to come on that.
Today is pay day! I wish I made more money but all together I think I lead a fairly comfortable life. Today was especially nice because I was able to reserve the hotel for Las Vegas in October. My step-daughter turns 21 and so we're taking her. I mean, she was already 15 when we were introduced AND she lives in Europe so I don't feel like I'm a true step-parent .. or, at least I mean I don't really have any responsibilities as such.. but it feels great to come through on this and give her something nice and fun.
My birthday is coming up in less than a month. I'll be 41. I'm still coming to terms with being assertive (? I don't think that's the right word) at expressing my desires. I asked my friends to go to Fogo de Chao for my birthday and I feel slightly uncomfortable about that because of the price. Then, Dave (and I) need new glasses, we've got an endless list of items that need money thrown at them with regards to the house .. and all sorts of stuff but Dave is practically insistent on me getting a piano.
I really, really want a piano. Another thing I'm trying to alter is my gaming. I still love gaming but all in all I feel practicing music is a more creative and beneficial use of my time. So I've been trying to stay away from it in the hopes that I get my piano soon. Still, though, if it were left up to me we'd be spending money on all that other stuff. I can run through water like it's money for my family and friends but spending it on myself? I don't know, it just comes hard for me.
