reasons for me to be down today:
the IRS requisitioned most of my remaining savings.
this means my plans to buy a
snazzy digital video camera (with which
to organize and preserve our family home videos AND make movielike
objects) have been set back yet again, ditto the apple g4 12"
dvd-burning laptop.
we transplanted four elm saplings into pots yesterday, presumed
children of the young elm in our backyard, which is itself the last
remaining child of the elm tree that once dominated my grandparents'
backyard. the task was much harder than anticipated and i fear they will
all die from root damage (or stem breakage in one case, clinging by a
thread of bark to its base).
"we" seem to be saber-rattling in syria's general direction.
lately i have not adequately battled my tendency to relax quietly at
home with time-wasting activities, as opposed to getting out and being
social.
despite much protestation, i have never yet finished writing something
and tried to publish/sell it, which means i am as yet simply a lazy
pretender.
it is gloomy and rainy today. not an exciting lightning windy pouring
sort of rain either, just a low gray steady wetness.
take a good look; me being down doesn't happen terribly often. rather a
convergence, today. one probably shared by other fellow tax-preparers.
ill-met, comrades. better luck on the morrow.
i have to say, i'm already recovering. my mom did a reasonable job of
talking me somewhat out of it this morning. moms are good for something,
as she likes to say.
