I turn my computer on. There's the added ritual of banging the phone outlet to make the old 56K modem connect to the wires and twines of the web. I live in fear that my anatomically correct (I wish) mouse will not go out on me, causing me to rely soly on my keyboarding technique. So things aren't perfect. So what. I've got tea and shampoo and 52 ish dollars in my bank account. I like to think it came from heaven.
That's about half of my smallest bill. I am greatly encouraged. Life goes on. So I was talking to my therapist and she suggested some options for me. Going to the mall and just hanging out, (God, please I don't want to buy anything, save me from the sales people I soon will become) gathering applications like fish in a great fold of netting. That and Six Flags is having a mass hiring. Still I hold out on calling Subway. The youth center, YMCA is hiring. Fun, fun, hanging out with delinquent childen all day. But you never know what opportunities await you till you knock.
7.49 of those dollars came from a generous benefactor, my friend, Bryan Healy. Someone had to buy that silly scarf on Ebay. And since he joined 43things.com, the hat comes free. He shall be a knitter's delight, frought about with knitted bounty. Along with that there may not be a bounty for extra troops in Iraq if our democratic congress has anything to say about it. Bush proposal's this Wednesday will surely indicate that he plans to release about 20,000 more Americans onto the Iraqis. My democratic friends and I may not agree about troops in Iraq, but surely, like unlike Bush and Congress who enjoy speculating about bipartisan politics, we can put our differences aside to enjoy a nice cold glass of milk and cookies, the Santa way. While it's just a topic for politians to disagree on, we know who does the real work. So mall and YMCA tomorrow, God willing, I get a job.
