What happened to February?

Wow...it's March.

I must have been in a strange limborionic state in February because I don't think that I participated in life at all last month. 

My job ended at it's predicted 1-year mark (it was a temporary position), then I coughed once (never a good sign for me) and that's all I remember.

Today I am still a bit fuzzy and sluggish, but feel ok...just.k

There is so much to be done and not much time for it all to be done in, but it has to be and one way or another it's going to hit the fan.  The difference is what will hit the fan and that will be determined by what is accomplished in the next 2 weeks.

Yep, in the next two weeks life itself will be laid a flourishing foundation that supports growth and goodness, or a barren wasteland that barely provides enough oxigen to breathe.

There are things that I can do and there are opportunities and circumstances over which I have no control. 

...pause...

I want to try to clear my head and take stock, but I also want to hurry up and roll the dice.

It is difficult to describe, even to myself and I've lived it, the foggy congealed manner that has settled in my being.  Physical manifestations of bleakness.  All of my sences have masked areas and I can only hear, see, taste, feel, speak, and smell around the masking.  It's like playing a chord but a note is missing.  Or like having serious virtigo - you know you are leaning, but you don't know which way to move to right it.

Every tomorrow will be a good day; better than February and hopefully build on each good day!

Until next time...

Goodbye Sole!

There are no words .... I am stunned ...


But I know this is goodbye, Sole ...


Still ...
... until one day
... somewhere
... somehow

Rest in peace (peace finally!) dear Soledad.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Hal, with much love!


I was finally able to get the pictures from my winter trip to load.  I knew my batteries had frozen a few times (it's cold up in the mountains in winter), and I was starting to worry that some connection in the reading/writing to the little disk had become damaged because I was having so much difficulty uploading the pix.  I will send some of my favorites to be printed and the rest I'll keep on my personal space.  FB-L....M....K.....@g....



On an unrelated note...

I hope there is love and hope and light today, even if I can't see it or feel it, I just have to hope it is there.

Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, ever-lovin' Saturday!

Come Saturday morning...I'm goin' away with my friends...  <== not really, just singing to myself.

I do have Saturday stuff to do - Observe and Remember - being the highest among them.

I think I might try to learn about Saturn today. I know virtually nothing about the planet. What I learn I will include in this spot here: [




Saturn Notes:
1. It is thought (I say this because I don’t know what actual analyzed samples have come from the actual planet) that there is an outer layer of gases, though I don’t know what type.
2. Beneath the outer layer is an inner (or intermediate) layer of hydrogen and helium gases.
3. Beneath this layer is a deep layer of metallic hydrogen and under that, it is not certain, but may be a core of rock made of silicon and oxygen compounds), nickel and iron.
4. Of the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) that can be seen with the naked eye (if you know where to look and what you are looking for), Saturn is the most distant and in the night sky looks like a bright yellow dot.
5. Saturn’s orbit around the sun is about 29 & ½ Earth-years.
6. Saturn is probably most know (it is to me, at least) because of its rings. There are 9 main rings and 3 partial rings (arcs). They are made up of ice, rocks and dust.
7. 62 moons are said to orbit Saturn and 53 at least have been named. There are many more within the rings, perhaps.
              Earth comparisons:
1.       It has a larger volume
2.       About 95 times more massive
3.       9 times the radius (that would be from the inner most core point – to any point on its surface)
4.      BUT, only 1/8 the density
 ...more stuff about Saturn to come....
]
 
I have some stuff to pack up and put away, go to the gym/exercise class, too…projects that I want to put off!

Interviews are coming up, so I need to look at my wardrobe and think about possible questions/answers, do some company research...yep, lots to do!

7 Days!

Oh, my!

In seven short days I will have read the last line of this chapter in the book of my life.  I do not know where the next chapter will take me...what new sights and sounds, plots and plans or what characters will be seen again or for the first time.  There is a lot I don't know.

And that's ok. 

I'm looking forward to it, well, not so much as I'm resigned to it.  I don't have any hopes for specific things to happen, at least I don't think so.  It keeps me from being disappointed.

I still have some ways to go on my goals for February 1st and I will take it a moment at a time...not even a day at a time.  No.  Bite sized pieces are all I can chew.


Peace Out!

Sluggin' away...and not the good kind

I feel like a slug, I am tired, out of breath with a skin so thin a slight breeze hurts my heart.  My job is over one week from today and I am scared to the point of panick, then panick because I'm not as productive.

The times they are a changin'

Wake me when someone gets a clue!

I have issues too, I get that, but these sound bite folks and celebrity types that have anything to say other than the lines they are paid to speak, sing, or plays they are taught to make really need to back on out to their dressing/locker rooms and decorated offices, chill to their luxury and shut the heck up about ANYTHING!!!!

Career politicians, for the very, very, very most part, you seem some kind of mutant celebrity so this is meant for you as well.  To qualify this, there are a few that have earned my respect over the years - people who did it for the service - yes, I really believe that of some of them.  Many will not want to hear my opinion of who those few are, so I won't announce it in this medium, just know that I think they exist.  For the rest of them...oh, would that your constituents would wake up, read a book, become informed and vote.  Marking a big "X" next to a name does not indicate that you want everyone to know you do NOT want that person in office...yep, it's that bad in some cases.

People...I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope you start to think of others, show some respect, share the love and act neighborly, but I'm not naive enough to hold my breath.

This is not new.  The times that are changing are not the ignorance, or stupidity of the common person, nor is it the arrogance of the wealthy.  No.  Well, not exclusively, no.

The times that are changing are that I am beginning not to care.  I hope those few who still do, still will.  I hope that I do not cease in my caring, but gather strength, a second wind and care on and on.
