looking forward to: waking up tomorrow and time later feeling, alert to stuff I'm reading, sort of poetic.
I dunno, the world is a mess.

Osso.

Freaked about the future for good reasons? Care to elaborate publicly or privately? Everything ok?

It's complicated. I could write a book or two and maybe should have, as I was given an Intent to Publish by a reasonably known architectural publisher, but I gave up for varied reasons having to do with life.

I remember my italian teacher, later friend somewhere in the midst of my taking seven quarters of classes, that I was hauling too much, needed to pinpoint. I never was that great in italian, but I was happy with it. I'd similar takes on her life; if anything, her's was way more dramatic.

Reasons for my fears, yes.

I never cared much about money except to get along, various reasons behind all that, and lived it. I chose what I wanted to do, who I married. Even now I'm not sorry, I still - after a bit - get him.
I've got likely one of the lowest set of ssc incomes possible, and I am trying to keep my town house, with taxes and insurance. This will implode fairly soon.

I could possibly fix some of that if I got my ass in gear.

I don't mind if this is known, as it will likely be why I disappear. Oh, after old imac trouble.

Sorry to say, my gym attendance is sorely lacking. Did a little walking today between destinations of a hot chocolate crawl.

EDIT: I get it now. I'm slow on the uptake of the joke this morning.
