Just some thoughts

Well, ok, don't hit the enter button right away after typing the title. That would be my first new thought. Also, practice typing as it is getting pretty bad.

I haven't really had anything new to add lately. The last day at work was awesome, especially for a Monday. For some reason unknown to me, people decided to buy things and a lot of them. As the old father-in-law says in "Moonstruck", I'm confused. Especially since Monday is generally return day and basically a non-sale day. Holy Cow, I had a $900.00 sale and the day was busy with other sales on top of that. I couldn't believe it. It did wonders for raising my spirits, since not a lot of good has been going on at work or on a personal level for awhile.

If you think I've been upbeat and don't realize things aren't so good, I'm a better actress than I think I am. Maybe I'm just stressed--I don't know. To start with, my weight loss is pretty much stalled. Been too hot to walk or exercise much and once I stop exercising, I eat due to boredom or whatever. Also, I think I drink way much more than I did last year at this time. O.K., I'm stopping.

Also, worried about my oldest daughter. She isn't feeling well and doctors don't seem to know what is wrong. She has had so many tests and basically feels like a pincushion. Whenever she seems to come to a conclusion about what it is, she is proven wrong. Hopefully, something will come of all the tests soon.

Another bright spot though is getting to spend quite a bit of time with my family lately. Naturally, the granddaughters are always around and good for either a laugh or good talk. Or just plain fun. Yesterday, we enjoyed a movie together. Had some great time with my daughters also. Just family stuff--dinners and talks and hugs, etc.

So--that brings us to just what is up with me. Naturally, money still seems to be the biggest thing. My car definitely needs repair, or I need a new one soon. Credit is so bad, though. I'm taking it in to see if it will be worth a repair job today. How I'm going to afford that, I don't know. Might be better just to trash it and do without for awhile. Difficult to decide, too.

Job is decidedly difficult, too. Other than Monday's good day, there really isn't much good to report. I'm just not good enough, and probably never will be. I really can't get excited about it anymore. Not really even enough to stress about it, tho. I guess it's when you really don't care that you probably need to think about doing something about not caring or do something else. Will see.

I did decide to put aside money for rainy days, so that is good. Probably only a small amount. At least it'll be something, tho. And, concentrate more on paying off some old stuff. I say that now until something else comes up and I need to spend everthing I have on it.

Sorry it sounds so depressing--that's the way today is, tho.

Just musings

Hey--singing along with songs you know, even if just in your mind and not out loud (cuz nobody wants to hear my voice--even me) is just a great way to lift the spirits. Currently, I'm listening to the Beatles Revolver album. Is it still and album on cd? I think so, so that's what I'm callin' it, no matter what.

"Good Day Sunshine" is currently playing. So much fun, so many memories. Thanks, guys. I mean to 'the boys' of course. Last Wednesday, I watched the Paul McCartney special on PBS (he got the Gershwin Award for popular music, if you didn't know). The concert was great and included many other talented performers other than McCartney himself. It was great to see and hear so many people having a great time at the White House and just having fun instead of politicaly bickering. Just proves that music does indeed have the power to soothe people.

The only other thing I would've loved to have seen more of was the concert at the Library of Congress itself. They apparently did tape bits and pieces of it, because you can see parts of it online at PBS.org, along with a wonderful interview with Paul himself.

Of course, watching it online was great because I could then go to the McCartney website and catch up on all the other things going on right now. Apparently, fans who went to Ringo Starr's concert last week at Madison Square Garden got a great surprise because who should show up to wish his friend and former bandmate a Happy Birthday, but --tah-dah--Paul. I wish I'd been a fly on the wall, or a little mouse--but, you get my drift. It must've been wild, because several others showed up, as well!

Where was I? Oh, yes. So, this explains why the Beatles are currently playing on my cd player--very loudly, I might add!

It's a good thing I'm by myself until after 4!
